Philomath
Sadhaka
Because he was human when he was here on earth he is saying from his human perspective. Listen, Jesus knew all about crucifixion. The Romans would crucify people and place them by the roadsides for everyone to see this gruesome and horrible suffering! In your first example, he is saying Father! Is there any other way we can accomplish the salvation of mankind than having me die that way? But then he says, not my will but yours be done. Thats why Im trying to get people to see that it was a horrible thing for both the Father and Jesus to pay the penalty for all of our sins but because He loved you and me so much, the way He did it was the only way. I dont know of any other god or gods or religious leaders saying they loved you that much! That they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in that way just so you could spend all of eternity in heaven! Your second example, again in his human condition certain things were kept from him. Your third example, he is telling them that the doctrine comes from God the Father, again speaking from his human condition. Be very careful not to take scrpiture out of context to make a point according to your disbelief in who Jesus really is!
And your last dig, Jesus infered to the jews what he meant. They knew what he meant. I just agree with Him!
And by the way, "All of us here, and everyone who has lived and is living on this planet at the time of our death is going to know the truth and whether what you believe was actually true or not. Would you agree?" Im asking if you agree with this statement? Do you? I have never heard of your religion "Confused" but Im starting to understand it now.
What your saying makes no sense. Why would Jesus say he's doing his father's will if he is his father? Also none of what your saying is stated in the Bible, once again it is your interpretation of it, rather than what the text is actually saying. This is a wonderful cop out. Sometimes Jesus was was human sometimes he God, this makes zero sense. None of these scriptures were taken out of context. No I don't agree with your statement. My religion said confused because I was unsure of certain things.
