Given the story about Christ and that he was purposely sent to Earth to die and be crucified, would that not make Jesus an abused son and God an abuser?
Yea?
Nay?

Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than to childishly mock other people's beliefs?Given the story about Christ and that he was purposely sent to Earth to die and be crucified, would that not make Jesus an abused son and God an abuser?

Considering that in John 10:30 Jesus says "I and my Father are one." any abuse Jesus suffered would be self abuse.Given the story about Christ and that he was purposely sent to Earth to die and be crucified, would that not make Jesus an abused son and God an abuser?
Yea?
Nay?
Oh, probably - the Bible is the Big Book of Multiple Choice after all - but there are also verses where Jesus doesn't want to go through with what he knows is coming, but does it anyhow because it's God's will.Isn't there a verse that says that Jesus did subject himself to go and lay down his own life of his own will.

For instance, Luke 22:42:
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done."
Me neither.Well it certainly isn't my idea of justice that the Innocent must pay for the guilty.
And especially at the hands of the guilty.
Could he?Anyways Jesus obeyed his Father. He could have walked away.
Me neither.
Could he?
Can you name a single time in the Bible where someone disobeyed God and they made out well?

Read a book. Go for a walk. Paint a picture. Do something productive.
It's not, and the fact that you think it is just proves you don't even understand the most basic notions of the faith you're mocking.It's a legitimate enough question.
First of all in human sciences if a scientist in religious creation themes said Jesus was sent to Earth you psyche is lying to self.Given the story about Christ and that he was purposely sent to Earth to die and be crucified, would that not make Jesus an abused son and God an abuser?

What reason do you have for believing that Joseph was Jesus's father?I believe Joseph was Jesus' father and there is no signs of him ever abusing his son. Joseph is even described as a tender and loving man.
What reason do you have for believing that Joseph was Jesus's father?
If you believe that the Gospels not only contain lies, but are lying about the very core of their message (Jesus's divinity), why would you believe anything they say at all? Why would you believe that Jesus's father's name was actually Joseph? Why believe that but not most of the other information in the Gospels?
Rationally if you said a man of no name title which is how it was taught lived his life historically in the times of the Moses attack.I don't by it either. The only think I would claim about Jesus is that there was a man known by the named of Yeshua (translated to Jesus in latin) who lived in Judea, preached in the area and who was executed by Pontius Pilate. That's the only thing history can teach us about the man. The rest is myth, conjectures and supposition. The only thing we can know from the historical Jesus, is that he had a father and mother like everybody else.
If I were to accept a triumphalist views of scriptures. Joseph, educated, nurtured, protected, housed and loved Jesus he is his father. That's what fathers do.
