Well, any good christian would answer the questions, not storm off in a huff. You may say christian beliefs are crazy, but at least they're free and not a secret. And here's my answers; we don't know if Jesus was illiterate, but at the time there were a lot of people questioning why God would choose Jesus as his messenger. (Which is what led to the crucifixion in the first place!) Jesus wasn't rich or a king, (Or perhaps even literate, as you've pointed out. Most people back then weren't.) And this did bother people at the time, so having doubts about God's choice of messenger is certainly nothing new. But that's using an earthly standard of what's important, not God's. It's like saying, "Why would God choose this guy with a disgusting boil on his neck for his messenger? That makes no sense!" Well, God doesn't care about stuff like that. As for the crucifixion, God didn't "have" Jesus nailed to the cross. It's not like God ordered it himself. The Romans did that all on their own. If the Romans loved Jesus and believed everything he said, that would've been fine with God. In fact, it's what he would've preferred! But that's not what was going to happen, and God knew it. But knowing something and wanting it enough to cause it to happen are two different things.Marknoreply@blogger.com
