If you are allowed to go back in time, just before the crucifixion, and you are allowed to have some modern weapons like Machine gun, hand grenade etc.
You see some maniac peoples are humiliating and spitting on your Savior, you see roman soldiers are hitting him so brutally.
I mean if you are the witness of all that brutality and you have the power with you.
Will you?
1.Kill all those who are insulting and humiliating your Savior, and save your savior because you love him a lot?
2.You will become selfish and let them crucify your Savior because it is the only way of your salvation?
3.You will let them crucify your Savior because you know that it is plain stupid to think about a SUFFERING DYING ALMIGHTY GOD (or son of God)
4.You will let them crucify your Savior because you think it is a part of Gods plan, and you are also doing your part just like Juda did?
I mean will you save him? Yes? NO? Why?

I will save him because of all given choices (1, 2, 3, 4) + 5 because I am a human.
Now if I am a religious person and I know his crucifixion is necessary for the salivation of billions of peoples, then still I will try to save him.
If it was a Gods plan, then God will send an angel here in 2006 and he will destroy my time machine to fulfill his plan lol.

The truth is, even if you saved him, he would still need to die for our sins. So since God's will need's to be done, Jesus would eventually have to be martyred/murdered by somebody. The point is moot. It's not selfish because it's not just my salvation that's on the line, but everybody's salvation that has lived since Jesus' time. So if you had the choice to save one man's life or save millions possibly billions of people's lives, which would you choose?
There's also an example in the scriptures of Peter, who was ready to fight for Jesus, even cutting off the ear of one of the soldier's who came to take Jesus away, but Jesus told Peter to calm down and even healed the soldier's ear. Jesus said that if he wanted to he could have had an army of angels come save him, but he didn't because the scales needed to be balanced from Adam's sin. He knew what he had to do.

Jesus, being the Son of God, could have saved himself if he wanted to, but he knew from day one that he had to go though with the Crucifixion, it was his father's divine plan and Jesus obeyed, it would be wrong for any human to interfere, surely Jesus would forgive you if what you did was out of love but think about it this way, it was his self sacrifice and love that people have remembered mostly though time, and see it worked, you know about it, all the way in 2005 AD!

That is not even close to a good comparison. Jesus Christ was sinless and could die for the sins of all the world. If God the Father and thousands of His angels could not save Jesus I doubt seriously anyone else could. You must understand this was decided way back in eternity past. No one but God could have changed anything about it.

Nobody COULD save the savior.
And to think that I have the power intervene in the fulfillment of the prophecy and covenant is insane.
Moreover, to think that I personally would stop Jesus' crucifixion when those who loved him best did and could not, is hubris.
In addition, to save Jesus from death would be to wish to keep Jesus "for myself" and prevent him from saving ALL OF HUMANKIND.
This is why Jesus said to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan," when Peter suggested that Jesus not go into Jerusalem, since that would mean Jesus would be arrested and killed. Jesus called his beloved friend "Satan" because Peter was wanting more time with his friend more than he was wanting the salvation of all of humankind.

I know you are speaking theoretically but if this was at all possible, I would want to save Him...but God would not let It happen. It was meant to be. The only way for God to save us was by blood...it was the law.

It is sad that you do not seem to understand the importance of the crucifixion. If Jesus had not sacrificed himself then YOU could not be saved. If you were to "save" him you would just have prevented his sacrifice & gift to humanity. If you truly are Christian then it would have been more selfish to save him than not to save him...

2.
its not just me being selfish. im helping out everyone else who gets saved. if He doesn't die, no one can get saved, no one can go to Heaven. its part of God's plan and i wouldn't feel guilty at all. I would cry and cry because i'd WANT to help, but i know i couldn't.
and anyways, if it wasn't meant to happen, He could have saved Himself.

it would have been hard to save anyone
from judgement,
during the roman empire era.
he lived , died and was buried,
and rose on the 3rd day in fulfillment of prophecy.
that is the way it was,
and is.

Of course, given the choice, any decent person would save someone else from execution.
