Yes, but that would have circumvented the will of God.

Probably. And those who arrested and crucified him and even Judas were indeed carrying out God's will, of course. That's why so-called Christians shouldn't be so tough on everyone, in fact everybody's carrying out God's will.

using fact Jesus made the alternative to chew the "bullet" and die for us. Jesus, ahead of turning into Jesus - the single we reference, had this all planned together with his Father long in the previous the Universe replaced into created and mankind could settle for the prospect to have a particular relationship with God. to be sure this, it could require God to die for sin considering God replaced into acceptable and by no potential sinned. no longer something in need of a sin-unfastened sacrifice could make amends for this purpose. besides the reality that Jesus had a decision, He enjoyed the human creation lots, that He volunteered His very own existence. Jesus homicide wasn't the difficulty - sin replaced into and Jesus resolved it by utilising His homicide on the palms of the non secular company of His day, who used the Romans to do the grimy artwork. fortunately; Jesus has risen and lives on the instant to be sure us human beings have the prospect for eternal existence.

Yes, He could have called down legions of angels to rescue Him, but He wanted to take our sins to the cross so that we can be saved and go to heaven.

Yes, but it was Gods will. But as far as the humans and their roles God already knew what they were going to do and say...Even before it all happened it was predestined.....That is the whole reason he sent his only son down here.....He saw it coming and knew what we would all do......Just like he knows what is in everyones hearts right now!!!!

Yes, He could have- however that would not have fulfilled the will of God, and He came to do the will of the Father- which was to die so that we might live.

Yes, he could have, but then the prophecies would not have been fulfilled. Those who killed him were unknowingly fulfilling the prophecies regarding Christ. But, if Jesus stopped them, that would've defeated the whole purpose of his coming to earth.

I would have to answer yes and no. Yes, he had the power to stop it....but not the will. He was fulfilling the plan of the Most High God.

Of course! That's what makes His sacrifice all the greater. He had a choice about it every single step of the way. He could have bailed out at any moment, but He didn't. He went through it voluntarily, out of love for and obedience to His Father and out of love for all of us who would be saved through His actions.
I love the way Max Lucado put it so succinctly: "Nails didn't hold Alighty God on a cross. Love did."

most definately. But he loved us enough to follow through with the plan. He knew what had to be done, and he did it. And thank goodness he did.
