When Jesus was being crucified they were lounging around eating figs, dates, and roasted lamb. Imagine how impressive that would have been. The apostles do their magic and fireballs cook the crowd and Jesus is saved. But if Jesus was God why didn't he save himself? And if he was God how did he ever allow himself to get into the position where he needed to be saved? It must have been because he had had too much wine.
You've inspired a thought there.
At least one of the disciples had to be a True Christian, you know, the kind that can speak in tongues, swill poison, torment deadly serpents, and HEAL BY LAYING ON OF THE HANDS !!!!!!
Maybe Jesus wasn't resurrected, maybe instead, Barnabas or Zach or Philemon HEALED him in the tomb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
