Winn Did you notice that when you can't answer a direct question, you turn to something else? All I am asking is "Why would a god, worshiped by you, died at the cross?" If you answer he was a human, then I ask what happen to his father, the god? I am also confused, Jesus is a god, he is also the son of a god, but all event led to his death showed no god quality. But modern man still treat him like a real god, but he is not happy to appear. What a mess !
