Jesus and his sacrifice is Satan’s test of man’s morality.

It matters insofar if the Scriptures are cogent, coherent, and free from internal inconsistencies. If you set out to show that we have freewill, then how do you reconcile instances where there is clearly no freewill offered to some people?Did the Pharaoh have freewill? If god hardened his heart, then God is directly responsible for Pharaoh's condition. If God controlled him like a puppet, then he did not have freewill.And then of course there is the illusion of freewill when there is none to speak of, for God's own omniscience makes it an impossibility.Let's use a card game as an analogy. If you know the outcome of a "choice" (choice used very loosely here) then there really is no choice at all, only the illusion of it to those not in on the scam. The other players think they have a choice, but the deck is loaded by the dealer in a predetermined way. So it is with god in the scriptures.If Lucifer only exists to be the bad guy, then did he have a choice or is he simply playing the role he was assigned? Obviously the latter.Therefore there cannot be freewill where there is an omniscient God.

Then your "belief" is at odds with your own religion. Either God knows all things or he doesn't. And if he doesn't know all things, as you are suggesting here, then the Scriptures must necessarily be in error, in which case you would have to reasonably call in to question its entirety.God's omniscience:"For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything." -- John 3:20"Do you know how God lays his command upon them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge" -- Job 37:15-16So which is it; because you can't have it both ways?

If that's the case then how do you reconcile prophecies? If God doesn't know the future because it's open, then how is it that there are also prophecies all throughout the bible that would have to mean that the future is known to God?

How does that vague mysticism answer my question?

So, to be clear, you think that Jesus was guesstimating that destruction of the Temple would occur given the Roman occupation? So then conceivably this leaves the door open to the possibility that God gets some things wrong?

Christianity has gone through a lot of ups and downs. It's incontestable that it's beginnings were very meek, however, once Constantine came to power was the beginning of Christianity turning rather ugly (Dark Ages, Inquisition, The Crusades, etc). One those days came to a close, there have been many sects within Christianity that have tried to embody the original spirit of Jesus' overall ethos.In today's time, at least in America, there has been a coalescing of Americana militarism and Christianity that is blurring the lines. This brand of Christianity is a lot like the Hasmoneans which found that warring patriotism was God's highest calling. This
flies in the face of Jesus' teachings.
