If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: What does true love look like?
I don't see what the big deal was. Crucifixion was a very common occurrence back in Jesus' day. Why was his special? Because his was voluntary? It seems quite easy to be killed. Let's have a Jesus come down and live to be age 87 without ever having to compromise any of his principles like most humans have at times just to see how he deals with the daily grind of modern life. He can turn the other cheek all he wants. What if Jesus had a daughter and ISIS captured her. Would he turn her other cheek too or would he give her assailants a right good thrashing?
People have been similarly tortured, beaten and killed in barbaric fashion since day one. Check out some Syria/ISIS videos on youtube...it's still happening now. Some 140 students were brutally and mercilessly executed in Kenya a few days ago. I don't need a savior to show me how to be meekly slaughtered like a lamb and how that is all well and good and part of some divine plan.

Re: What does true love look like?
Just to throw the proverbial cat, someone (in clergy) recently suggested to me that a good antidote to the mainly catholic notion that suicide is an unforgivable sin is that Jesus knew he was about to die, could easily have prevented it, and chose not to - so technically committed suicide. I'm still pondering that one.Soi Dog wrote:I don't see what the big deal was. Crucifixion was a very common occurrence back in Jesus' day. Why was his special? Because his was voluntary?

Re: What does true love look like?
This is what i have learned and been told. The reason that his Crucifixion was special, because he died for us (sinner). He had been crucified to save us from sin. His father (God) sent him to save us. His blood flow by being crucified saved us.Soi Dog wrote:I don't see what the big deal was. Crucifixion was a very common occurrence back in Jesus' day.

Then, when i had been told that Jesus is God. I was immediately confusing.

Re: What does true love look like?
Doesn't seem any more a suicide to me than a soldier who follows the orders to go on a mission from which he knows he won't return. He neither took his own life nor was in a suicidal state of mind. He expressed fear and doubt, and in that fear begged he be spared his father's plan. But in the end, like a good soldier, he did his duty, and saved us all, if you believe that last bit.StroppyChops wrote:Just to throw the proverbial cat, someone (in clergy) recently suggested to me that a good antidote to the mainly catholic notion that suicide is an unforgivable sin is that Jesus knew he was about to die, could easily have prevented it, and chose not to - so technically committed suicide.
