2 | Cup Passed? | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 118083 | ||
It's difficult to come up with all the reasons but I think one of them was the fact going to the cross for Jesus was going to be the first time in His existence of His being separated from His Father. Remember although this plan had been in God's mind before the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, Christ had never had the sins of the world heaped onto Him which forced God to turn His back to His own Son. Remember Christ was also 100 percent human and was maybe just a little apprehensive about going to Hell and follow His Father's perfect system of justice. If Christ was guilty of just one single impure thought for just a fleeting moment, it would be enough for the Devil to keep Him there forever. Don't you think under those kind of conditions, even the most courageous person in the world would melt and be as scared as a wild bird? I know I would be scared to death. It would be an easy thing to think that God could of thought of some other way without sacrificing His own Son. But then, we know the answer to that, don't we? God bless. --Rowdy |

Rowdy, is it a fact that God was forced to "turn His back to His own Son"? Was Jesus really just a "little apprehensive" about going to hell? Was Jesus worried about one "single impure thought" allowing the devil to keep Him in Hell forever? How do you know these things? Colin |

I acknowledge your questions above to which I'll have to do more homework and get back to you. But again, I ask where is your response to the original question about "Jesus' prayer to His Father to have the cup pass from Him?" God bless. --Rowdy |
