Some good points you had there, but Yeshua himself had opportunities to escape. He just didn't want to. He didn't need anyone to save Him. For example, recall the time in the forest (Gethsemane) when Shimon (called Peter by the westerners) pulls out his sword and cuts off the ear of Malku (Matt. 26:51; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:51). Right before that, Yeshua had said that he should put away his sword and not kill, for he would be killed.

I'm not trying to get into your other points...I agree with some of your statements. However, I do want to say "Christianity" today is not what it used to be...and in regards to western Christianity, it hasn't been for most of its existence. I also want to point out that there is a distinction between western and Eastern Christianity. I don't know if you already know or particularly care...but there is a difference. It never involved giving up reason, it allowed us to defend ourselves when necessary, and maybe to your surprise, it also never denied "Ashur."

Regards.
