What do you think?
Remember even Himself asked "Why are you trying to kill me?"
I feel this answer can help the world if they admit the reason He was killed.

He was a threat to the priest's authority.

Yeah, he is actually an unsung hero. If most guys heard their wife say "oh I'm pregnant and not by you but also totally not by some other dude! By an invisible deity!" she'd be booted to the curb before you could even say "three wise men". Hell back then she'd of probably been stoned to death for adultery.

You could say that he was Jesus's savior. wink

common mistake of all... God the Father NEVER mated with Mary... He is not Zeus from the Greek mythology... in the Bible, God was a spirit, is a spirit and will always will be a spirit... He never changes...

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
John 4:24

"Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."
James 1:17

Why was he killed? He sacrificed himself. He knew he would be betrayed, he knew he would be crucified. Yet he chose to stay; he chose to allow himself to be caught and taken away. This is what "self-sacrifice" means: you are ultimately responsible for your death.

If Jesus had been taken against his will, that would not have been a self-sacrifice. He simply would've been killed like any common criminal. Period.

So, what do I think? Metaphorically, I think Jesus stressed the importance of putting others before yourself: the external path to enlightenment.

In other words God spiritually raped someone.
