Bear in mind that his subsequent titanic battle with the aforementioned Balrog was instrumental in his transformation from Grey into White.
That's a good question. I guess I would let Gandalf fall. As for Jesus, I don't really know how to answer that. Because what was he like? Which of the writings that we have today actually represent what he said? Any of them?
If he was going around telling people that the only way to be a good person was through him, and that everyone else was damned to hell for eternity, well, I wouldn't be happy about him getting crucified, but I wouldn't exactly be surprised, either, if you know what I mean. A guy who goes around saying stuff like that in the ancient world is not going to enjoy a long, happy retirement.
If he was the guy who said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," and who said it wasn't a woman's fault if men lusted after her, and that if the men had a problem with women causing them to lust they could fix it by plucking their own eyes out--I would save that guy.
One person I would definitely save though is Han Solo. That was just sad.
A Gemma is forever.
