He didn't have to die, PERIOD!
Learn what Yeshua taught while he was ALIVE and you should be able to understand what I "believe"... You're on your own now, maybe you can ask fr0d0 if he understands...
It is said that Yeshua predicted he was going to die once or twice (can't remember how many times). Is this to be ignored as trivial?
As for him not having to die: what do we have then? A [normal] human who spoke about the change of heart of YHWH? Does Yeshua's father care at all if I ever become a "CHRISTIAN"/True Christian?
