Christians, would you have saved Jesus, if you had he chance?

[Pat Mustard]

I think an equally important question is - if you had the chance, would you have saved Gandalf from falling at the bridge of Khazad Dum in the mines of Moria after his confrontation with the Balrog. Bear in mind that his subsequent titanic battle with the aforementioned Balrog was instrumental in his transformation from Grey into White.

Actually I don't think the fight with the Balgrog was instrumental in Gandalf's transition. The Valar needed him to be the new white wizard an because of this they saved his life. They would have given him the new mantle and powers even if he had managed to escape Moria safely.

On the other hand the christian mythology needs Jesus to be killed in order for it to work as he has been set up as a sacrifice in order to expiate the wrongs committed by everybody else.
