Something that should be evident when gods own son wasn’t spared death by the romans.
That’s a fair point, but then why do Christians pray to god for things like sick babies, missing children, and deployed soldiers?
Jesus gave a model of what prayer out to look like, in the Lord’s Prayer. You know what’s absent in that prayer? Praying to avoid death, suffering, sick babies, missing children, etc....
Praying is not about changing Gods mind, but about the changing of ours, as evident in the Lord’s Prayer.
