I do know the story, Mac. What I'm telling you is that the story is utter bullshit.
Crucifixion was the penalty reserved for rebels and/or slaves. When the Romans crucified someone it was to send a message. That message was "DON'T FUCK WITH US." Common criminals were dispatched in the arena for the amusement of the crowd. It was far more cost-effective.
Min please do a cost-effective analysis for us to see so we know you are not making up ideas. It seems to me that it would cost the Romans more to ship someone back to anywhere, feed and shelter them than to put someone on a cross and use three nails or even cheaper bind them with hempen rope and leave them to hang until dead. By the way the Roman soldiers broke the leggs of those who were crucified so they would not last long, so that the Roman goverment would not have to pay the soldiers overtime.

You are correct He is with YHWH because He is YHWH. You think you have trouble understanding how Christ can be fully man and fully God try to get your head around this Christ is setting beside Himself. Now on to what the scriptures say about Christ after his ressurection, He entered rooms with no window and locked doors and was not heard when He entered even though the room was full of people. Seems to me He can go anywhere He likes.
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.
