Why did he give up his life willingly? Does not Jesus in the Bible ask God to remove this cup from him."
My friend please comment on these points:
* if Trinity is the fundamental belief in Christanity then was Jesus so incompetent that he did not introduce this concept in his life time and it took the Christians almost four centuries to establish and explain this concept. Source derived from Reference Volume XIV pg. 295 of THE NEW CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA.
* Does this mean that all the followers of the Prophets before Jesus will go to hell because they did not believe in Trinity?
Christians existed hundreds of years before Muhammed, and Christians believed Christ was God in the flesh These people who belived that Christ was God in the flesh, did they comprehend the word God or the concepts whether philosophical or religious that applied to that term? Remember now that God is all powerful and to see a man being treated in such degrating manners, did that not rasie questions?
Also i do not believe that Jesus gave his life up willingly, but God took it from him. If one has faith then God can do what He wishes and someone does tell God when he wants to die, but God does as he pleaseth. Jesus was to great of man, to amazing of a person and to close to God for man to slay him. Nay he was saved by God and never crucified.
May peace be upon you.
