Christ Committed Suicide

I thank CON for a well-constructed case.RebuttalR1) On Omniscience and Omnipotencea) While CON has brought out her own case about Christ's abilities, she does not contest my own claims or sources. This makes sense, as we are both sourcing from the Bible (emphasis mine):"‘Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.’ ‘You believe at last!’ Jesus answered." John 16:30-31"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge… For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form," Colossians 2:2-3, 9I have fulfilled burden in proving from the Bible that Jesus was omniscient. That "in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form" also fulfills burden on omnipotence as well.b) On CON's case:- The fig tree is a parable. Christ was demonstrating what a motivated man filled with the Holy Spirit could do. The parable later concludes in Mark 11:14-23 that "he said to the tree, 'May no one ever eat fruit from you again'...the fig tree withered from the roots... 'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.'"It's easily conceivable that Christ knew the fig tree had no fruit in advance in order to demonstrate this parable in terms his disciples would understand.- In regards to CON citing Matthew 23:9 and John 14:10, John 1 is clear that Christ is God: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made...The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."Thus, there is no distinction between Christ and God...they are one and the same.- About Matthew 27:46, there is evident confusion as to exactly what that verse means. In the very next verse: "When some of those standing there heard this, they said, 'He’s calling Elijah.'" Mark 15 has this exact same account as well.It is possible that Christ was not calling to God, but to people He knew had forsaken him.R2) CON presents a case where "Suppose you were in a prison cell with your daughter, and there was not enough food for you both to survive. You could ensure your own survival by keeping all the food for yourself or by killing and eating your own child. You refuse to do this..." The implication is that by refusing to do this, the parent dies and the daughter lives.CON is describing how this person justified his/her suicide. Similarly, Bobby Sands would have preferred that his terms regarding prisoner rights were met instead of actually starving himself to death, but when such an option proved impossible, Bobby Sands chose death. The parent in CON's dilemma makes a similar choice, a suicidal choice.CON then cites Matthew 16:21 and Luke 24:46, both of which cite Christ's reasons for choosing to commit suicide. Christ chose his fate, and he chose death on the cross, something he knew would happen to him well in advance and could have easily chosen to avoid or prevent. Recall that Christ was tempted several times by Satan to do just that. Matthew 4:6 "'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" Satan knew full well that Christ could have avoided His fate. Christ chose to meet it head on.R3) CON makes a rather curious assertion, that "When your Father is an omnipotent God it is impossible to disobey him."This runs afoul of basic tenets of Christianity. It's easily possible to disobey God...that is what is called "sin". 1 John 3-4:"Everyone who keeps living in sin also practices disobedience. In fact, sin is disobedience."ConclusionIn the end, there are clear assertions that Christ was omnipotent and omniscient in the Bible. CON's attempts to argue to the contrary are nebulous at best and involve a spurious assertion, that for CON, "The relationship between Jesus and God the Father is obscure and probably impossible for us to comprehend". The Bible verses I have cited are quite clear...PRO's case does not involve CON's meandering equivocation.Furthermore, CON attempts to argue that suicide is something that requires the intent to die, and then brings forth a case that demonstrates this intent. Her parent/child dilemma especially demonstrated that the parent chose to die rather than to force the daughter to die. I don't know why CON is arguing PRO's case.Bottom line, Christ committed suicide. He knew about it, he could have avoided it, and in the end chose to die.
