...would you have killed him? (Assuming you found where he ran off to.)

If He had refused, He would still be the perfect holy Son of God, and we all would have gotten exactly what we deserved. Every day when I see the attitude of people on this site this is abundantly confirmed in my mind.

If you took the time to read the scriptures, you would find that in the Garden, Jesus said " let thy will be done". He had to be the ultimate sacrifice and running off, well, he could have called an army of Angels at anytime to save him, and we would still be under the old Mosaic law, or law of Moses. A priest would have to make a sacrifice of a lamb or goat, then enter the Most Holy of Holies and make intersessions with God.
By Jesus going to the cross, it rent the veil of the temple from top to bottom, which opens up the most Holy for direct contact from mankind. God made direct communications for us to use.
Jesus knew what was ahead and willingly let it happen.

Hmmm, well i guess no son of God is jsut gonna run off like that. On the same line of thought...explain to me real quick, the mechanism by which Jesus dying on the cross saves me from eternal damnation. I'm just having a hard time connecting it.

Jesus knew that His purpose was to die on the cross and live again so that we could be saved so this is a moot point.

Jesus wouldn't do that. Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. No one would kill Jesus with a knife or whatever it would be. I wouldn't kill Jesus since it's not part of God's plan for me to kill Jesus.

I never quite figured out the reasoning behind Jesus's "dying for our sins." I don't quite understand the spiritual economics of it all. Seems an awful waste to me.

You almost have it right, he pretended to die, then he got up in his crypt and ran off.
The bad news is that these cowardly acts seem to have been misinterpreted into miracles.
Oh well, silly people get what they deserve.

If you believe in those writings then I don't think he had a choice really. He was a prisoner of the Romans and had been sentenced to death.

Nope. I'm not into the "sacrifice something to take away sins" thing. I figure you can forgive people without killing other people.

It was his destiny. He wouldn't have run off, but was certainly frightened about his immanent crucifixion.
