Well, we already know he loses to Roman soldiers and wooden crosses, so you may want to save those for round 2.
Under re-examination you will find that Christ (most emphatically) did not lose to Roman soldiers, nor did He succumb to the torture of the Roman cross. In possession of unrivaled human strength the Lord Jesus Christ withstood every form of beating thrown at Him throughout the numerous trials--- without uttering a word, let alone crying out in pain.
Moreover, during His time on the cross, He executed peerless breath control and focus to shoulder that pain and injustice, again, without a word of protest or so much as a whimper of pain. It was not until the sins of the world (mine, yours, Benny Hinn's, Joseph Stalin's and everyone else) were laid upon His body that a sound of pain left His lips.
Even one step further, despite the ravages of the beatings, the torture of the cross and the psychological shock of His first contact with sin, the Lord Jesus Christ gave up His spirit. His life was not taken, He did exactly what He said beforehand that He would do: He gave up His life... no Roman soldier took it from Him.
Physically, the Lord Jesus Christ is the last person on earth with whom I would ever want to get into a cage match. Whoever would be foolish enough to think they could match the physical control He attained through a life of discipline is an idiot worthy of the beating.

I'd put my cliff-note academic discipline in a ring with your fanaticism any day of the week.
Anyway, the thread is a joke, I didn't realize the sophists would be combing it for historical data. Lighten up. You clearly aren't taking on a very Christ like model and turning the other cheek.
BTW-No one paid for anyone else's sins.
Sin is a total misconception used to keep followers under the control of guilt and self doubt.
Take some responsibility for your life. You are who you have to answer to when you do something you feel is wrong and unjust.

That is, if He even existed, of course.

Last time I checked, "sin" was the word used to describe any overt disobedience to the will of God, and/or thought/action which fell short of God's perfect standard. I fail to see where guilt or self-doubt enters into the definition. Please advise.
Take some responsibility for your life.
Daily.
You are who you have to answer to when you do something you feel is wrong and unjust.
And you have this on whose authority?
