Just wondering, if god knows everything and took human form intending to be crucified, is not that tantamount to suicide?
Is a mother rushing out into traffic to save a child considered suicide?
What about a soldier jumping on a grenade to save his squad?
What about a firefighter running into the second tower on 9/11 after the first one collapsed?
Like wise Christ died to save us from death/eternal.
The difference is those people doing those actions are mortals.
The deity, who is supposedly all knowing and all powerful, who could create the universe had to sacrifice itself to itself to change its own rules.
If the deity is, indeed, all powerful, it wouldn't need a blood sacrifice.
