@Jaysyn- Sure he didn't need to give us free will, he could have just made mortal angels, more angels or some robots.

@Caecilian-That's why his coming is a sacrifice. I think robin williams said it best.. phenominal cosmic power, itty bitty living space. An infinite being could necessarily suffer I guess, but I'm talking about Jesus sufering.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
