Hello Everyone-
Distazo: I want to give an answer to your #5.
Younan: "...Why have you spared me?"
Lamsa: "...For this I was spared?"
This makes sense in a particular way that immediately makes "Primary", First Level sense.
I have stated that I believe that this is as perfect a fit as could be found. Why?
If Yeshu has faced a situation where he was to be killed, as in D-E-A-D, as in "No Way Out" and yet somehow survived, he would have faced the Crucifixion with the question of, "For this was I spared?.
It is not a matter of doubting God. That is why I quoted several passages in previous Posts. Yeshu taught in the Temple and at ANY time, he could have been taken. When he "...meant to pass them by" during the squall, "They shrieked" as if they had seen a ghost.
Luke 19 (Vic Alexander, with note):
39. Some of the Pharisees, from among the crowd, told him. "Rabbi, tell* your disciples to be quiet."
40. He told them. "I am telling you, if they be quiet, the stones will cry out."
"*19:39 Lit. Ar. "Yell at them." "
Pick up a rock and hold it up to someone who is yelling at you and see if there is a different feel to "...the stones will cry out". You do not have to accept this interpretation but the point should be clear. If Yeshu faced CERTAIN death and yet lived and he KNEW where he was going and what was waiting for him when he went to Jerusalem for the Passover, it would make sense to wonder, "For this was I spared?" or "Why have you spared me?" You may have to find your own peace with this idea but realize that there were many times Yeshu faced death - and survived.
The question is then:
Why this? Why now?
