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 !
