If that's true then God killed Jesus. But maybe Jesus ran away from heaven to play with the human trash and he fell in with some bad folks. Too bad he left his godly powers in his heavenly closet. He should have packed some lightning bolts in his robe for emergencies.
Well, for one thing, Jesus and God are one and the same. But yes, God sent a part of himself (whom we refer to as the Son) to die for us. But Jesus could still have chosen to opt out of it. He still had free will. Being God, Jesus could have saved himself but chose to die voluntarily at the hands of the people.
^This seems like a far cry from "God killed Jesus and God thinks killing is ok."

Can't let that slide, CL. Sorry. God doesn't have parts. He is simple...not complex. No parts.
