What does true love look like?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
