Newborn,
Doctorbill has some good points that I think should be addressed here. So, please explain why you think Jesus was a deity and not a human like you or I? Because this whole 'human being the incarnate of the God' or 'Son of God' was not isolated to the Israelites. It might seem off topic, but I think the clarification is necessary before all the symbolic explanations commence. This question goes out to Apostolos and Stephen ben Yeshua (since you want to be supportive) as well.

Re: Child Sacrifice?
Hmmm, I'm not sure which part of your post was a reply to me, but here is some food for thought:
He CHOSE his Father's will because he recognized it as the better way. Although he did not want to die, he saw the neccessity of it and chose to go through with it. He had a will, he was not led there without his consent. It was his decision.
Aside from the fact that this particular incident was not actually witnessed (right?)and does not answer my question I would argue that any recipient of death for their belief has made this choice for similar reasons.
So, please explain why you think Jesus was a deity and not a human like you or I?
