I admit, Jesus is the story they keep telling. Mel G. made it big with his movie about blood and gore and what he calls ungodly living. Was he right? C'mon..... (I've never seen the snuff film. It's not in my plans).
That said, what sort of human being lets himself be guided carrying a heavy cross on his back to a place whereby he will be destroyed. Being on a cross is no better a way to die than standing in place and letting yourself be bludgeoned I say. You'll exist for a time period in pain and with little successful respiration. Is there sin in refusing to be lead to the slaughter. C'mon. No God would want another person to freely walk unto his doom. Not unless you are Obi-Wan Kenobe and you are standing at the last of your days in your old age and facing an adversary and you know that the "force" will let you endure and speak to Luke physically as the universe turns on a dime. C'mon. I have never heard Mr. Jesus's voice. I have read the new testament accounts and as previosly noted, they do not all jive. One has him crucified at 9 am and another at noon. Some describe 2 guards at his gravesite, some say 1, some say none. Some say he was seen after 'rising from the grave' and some say he had vanished I believe. I'm not going to study Jesus any more. His time period in my thoughts has run its day.
But that said, if you are a non sinner how about a stage in whereby you do not move and let them kill you and get it over with. Or whatever. What about fighting. Thats not an illegal effort. In the light of the horror of risk of physical harm to ourselves, are we required to sit like a bacon bit and let the fist of shame squash us into bacon bit dust. I am not a jerk and I am not looking for a fight. But if you thrust a knife towards me, I am going to tally. That said I may not try to destroy you but I may use necessary force as I may have to dispell your hordes of enemy activity. I do not have to self sacrifice but I am not going to be a pagan if I challenge your authority. Thats actually godliness.
