>Did Jesus know he is god and thus basically omnipotent and immortal?

HE IS THE SON OF GOD, NOT GOD.


>If he knew then why was the crucifixion such a big deal?

TO OVERCOME DEATH HE HAD TO DIE; TO OPEN THE GATES OF HELL HE HAD TO DIE TO BE ABLE TO DESCEND.

THE CRUCIFIXION IN PARTICULAR HAS SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE BECAUSE IT IS THE SYMBOL OF THE CROSS THAT CONCRETIZES HIS ENTIRE MESSAGE.


>It's by far not the worst way to die and its even easier if you know you're basically god?

...


>Furthermore if his plan was to sacrifice himself why is Judas the villain for "betraying" him? It's just part of the plan.

BECAUSE HE BETRAYED HIM...

RENEGADE «PROTESTANTS» TURN TO ORIENTAL SCHISMATICISM RATHER THAN TO THE TRUE CREED, BECAUSE ORIENTAL SCHISMATICISM IS AS FRAGMENTARY, AND ANARCHICAL, AS THE SECT SPAWNED BY MARTIN LUTHER.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING CLOSER TO GOD, BUT YOU ARE GETTING FARTHER FROM SATAN.

>God never says suicides go to hell

LIFE IS GOD'S UNIVERSAL GIFT TO EVERY SINGLE SOUL; TO COMMIT SUICIDE IS TANTAMOUNT TO RENEGATION OF THIS GIFT, THEREFORE, IT CONSTITUTES A MORTAL SIN; THOSE WHO DIE IN DISGRACE BECOME PROPERTY OF THE PERPETUAL ENEMY.

SUICIDE ENTAILS FAITHLESSNESS; THE FAITHFUL ONE REMAINS STEADY IN GOD'S GRACE IN SPITE OF ADVERSITY; THIS DIFFERENCE IS TYPIFIED IN THE CASE OF PETER, AND JUDAS: PETER DENIED JESUS, BUT, IN HIS REMORSE, REMAINED FAITHFUL IN HIS BELIEF OF GOD'S MERCY; JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS, AND, IN HIS REMORSE, LACKING FAITH, HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

THE LOGIC FOR THE MALIGNANCY OF SUICIDE IS THE SAME ONE FOR THE MALIGNANCY OF MURDER: IT IS A VIOLATION AGAINST LIFE.

THIS IS ESTABLISHED IN SCRIPTURE, AND IN DOCTRINE, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO BE EVIDENT VIA INFERENCE TO ANY CHRISTIAN WITH A MINIMVM OF SAPIENCE.

MERCANTILE TRANSACTIONS DO NOT ENTAIL THE GIVING UP/SURRENDERING OF ANYTHING —THEY ARE MERE EXCHANGES OF EQUIVALENCE—; A SACRIFICE ENTAILS SURRENDER OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY OF EQUAL VALUE, OR MAGNITUDE, TO THAT WHICH IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED, OR OBTAINED; SACRIFICE NECESSARILY ENTAILS DEATH —TOTAL, OR PARTIAL.

MERCANTILE EXCHANGE CONSISTS IN SYMMETRICAL, EQUIVALENT, TRANSFORMATION, AND TRANSFERENCE, OF ENERGY; SACRIFICE ENTAILS EXPENDITURE OF ENERGY IN GREATER QUANTITY, AND/OR QUALITY, THAN THE POWER THAT IS BEING RECEIVED IN TURN.
