Jesus: is crucified

Catholics: “Look at how good this Friday is”

Getting brutally tortured and crucified sounds like a pretty terrible Friday to me. An actual Good Friday would be like, Jesus getting high with his buddies and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on the PS1 while eating pizza.

Can someone please explain this.

EDIT: How about “Good Friday” but it’s Jesus getting high with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.

    Angels don’t have free will! Only humans have that, that’s canonically what makes us so special.

    That angel was created to fall from grace from the very start. Just God play-acting with His dolls.

      Ok, now you’re bringing mudpies into the argument…

      The consensus of scholars who focus on the study of free will in the ancient world is that the Bible does not explicitly address free will.[11][12][13]

      The leading scholar on the subject of free will in antiquity, Michael Frede, observed that “freedom and free will cannot be found in either the Septuagint or the New Testament and must have come to the Christians mainly from Stoicism.”[14]

      State me ** a bible verse where God mentions “free will” being only inherent within humanity** or I will think of it as pagan revisionism, like that people did with Christmas and Easter…

      Let alone the prove that Free will is canon within the bible…

        Huh. Totally thought it was canonical. My bad!

        Though, uh, “free will is apocryphal” doesn’t really contradict my point? If there isn’t free will in angels or humanity then it’s all just God playing with his dolls.

            It still leaves the problem of God being all-knowing and perfect.

            He created the Serpent fully knowing that the Serpent would go on to tempt humanity and cause the Fall.

            Why not just not create the Serpent? Seems pretty intentional to me, even if the Serpent had free will.
