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.(emphasis is mine)
^This seems like a far cry from "God killed Jesus and God thinks killing is ok."
So, jeebus committed suicide for our sins. But isn't suicide a sin?!? How can a sin resolve other sins? You kathy-licks are a silly bunch.
Jesus had two wills. One human and one divine.
His divine will was united with the will of the Father in the plan for the redemption of mankind. His human will recoiled at the horror of what He was going to suffer.
