If he did not die a martyr, his movement would have fallen into the scrap heap of apocalyptic cults of the time. This would spare humanity from this backward dark age philosophy thought.
I interesting to hear a Christians view on this moral dilemma: Save Jesus and no Christianity or Kill Jesus and have Christianity.
I have a feeling most Christians would rationalize KILLING JESUS. (Consistent with their hypocrisy).
I was thinking about this in the "suicide" thread. I'm a little concerned, in the low view many seem to be portraying in one person sacrificing themselves to save others. I think that it is noble. While technically, a suicide mission is suicide I think that the motives make an important distinction.
As to your "moral dilemma", I think that if we get rid of the mischaracterizations, then I believe the dilemma disappears. As an ethical situation, killing someone, and not interfering with them saving others knowing, that they will die, is not the same thing.
Within the proper context, I don't see the hypocrisy.
