Jim,

He didn't exactly let His son die. He was/is His Son. If he lived and then went up in a gold helicopter saying, "So long, folks, thanks for the "hosannas," now y'all love Me!" everyone would be bitterly complaining that he snuck off into the clouds while we stay here to suffer and die. The way He chose to do it, who are we to complain. He showed us how to live and how to be brave. He didn't die bitterly, rejecting heaven and cursing earth, or being bitter or angry against his murderers. No, he died forgiving, believing, and loving. Then he lived on after death. It was an example so we could and would do the same.

Absolutely my last words in this thread.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
