I'll admit I'm not a Bible scholar and I'm sure there's a lot of people who know the Bible better than me but I will tell you my understanding. I believe Jesus was sent here to die on the cross to atone for our sins. God knew when He sent him that this would happen. I believe that it was even meant for Judas to betray Him. Jesus even said that Peter would deny Him 3 times. I am sure it must have been terrible to be the ones that betrayed Jesus but it seems that it was all destined to happen that way.

Do you believe in the fact the we have to take responsibility about our actions and that we are free to choose?

Good question erba! I think that generally we are free to choose but I do think there are alot of things that influence our choices,(the way we're brought up, brain chemistry,etc). I believe when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, he helps fight our battle with sin. As I said, there is so much I don't know and I guess not meant to know right now.

I would like to let you know that the reason why Jesus said that he will come again is that something is unfullfilled...and is true that Jesus helps us fight our battle but whether " To eat the fruit or not" is your choice. And please, before you believe in something study well and check carefully because your future and you descendants lives depend in your choices...

Well, no. He had to be King, because of who He is/was. But a 'Prince of Peace' could not overtake the world's warrior-system without becoming a Warrior Himself, thus negating the Peace of the Kingdom. So He reached great heights as the 'Dove' does (the bird that symbolizes peace, the meaning of the root of "Jonah"), by diving---by moving unstoppably to the seat of power and 'turning the other cheek' when slapped against the immovable object of the Roman Empire. I wonder if He could've worked His way up into royalty by starting as a furniture-builder to the kings.
