Jesus being a Roman subject was by manipulation able to be arrested by non-Roman citizens and tried and found guilty outside a Roman court. Pilate himself found it easier to allow the Jews to fight among themselves because it distracted them from rebellion against the Roman Empire.So where was Paul's birth certificate to prove that he was in a fact a Roman? He was an Egyptian terrorist when he wasn't killing animals in the arenas and chasing down religious heretics.

What a bunch of crap. 1) Pilate did NOT allow the Jews to fight amongst themselves. 2)Who arrested Jesus in the Temple? The Romans!
1) Really and where did you get that bit of info from. 2)The Temple guards arrested Jesus in the garden and the priest took Jesus to Pilate to be tried and found guilty, yet Pilate found no wrong in Him. Jesus actually allowed himself to be arrested and the guards knew this because the first time He told them He was Jesus they fell to the ground because of the power of His word. They also witnessed Jesus heal the ear of the servant of the priest, this servant had his ear sliced off by Peter, this puts to rest that God never cured an amputee.
Get things straight before you try to argue a point.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
