The torture was evil, done by evil men; but God turned the torture into something good.
“You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.” Genesis 50:20
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
Acts 2:22-24
See God’s sovereignty controlling and using the wicked motives and actions of sinful men for His own ultimate purpose.
27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.
“The torture was evil, done by evil men; but God turned the torture into something good.”
it is a bit of a catch-22 with your religion . romans received no revelation.
“please crucify me, you will have all your sins atoned”
romans delivered god to his divinely prescribed execution
romans were carrying out divine mandate
every deed was getting purified by your god because it was appeasing god. so romans were doing divine acts purified.
stopping the crucifixion would be sin against the divine plan
surely it cannot be a sin to stop a sin. roman acts were vital ingredient.
without roman deeds , jesus would have been saved and condemned by the father which would cause division within the trinity.
Would Jesus or any Jew anticipate a crucified atonement messiah from OT as taught by orthodox Christianity today?
