If you are happy that Jesus was crucified to forgive your sins (or for any other reason), you have not given the matter serious thought. Had you been there when Jesus was crucified, would you have done everything you could to prevent it, or would you have gone along with it to be forgiven for your sins so you could go to heaven?

Being happy or not would be irrelevant.

And 'if' God deemed it necessary for Jesus to be crucified, then yes, it could not be stopped.
Period.

Sober evening, thank you.
Back to the topic, if you believed in God, do you think it's possible to prevent something He has decided needed to happen?
But please, that beer? Your are subservient after all are you not?
