i.e.  Whoever the Son sets free is free indeed...and so you know the Son has the authority to forgive sins....

Only a guess, but perhaps he is saying this for those who do not believe he is the Son. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. Well and good, but if you do not believe that he is not the son of God, then he is saying the real son is out there somewhere. HE can set you free. It is a matter of faith.

Assuming for the sake of argument that the Christian mythology is true, of course it's not a fair judging. Just because God is more powerful than we are and made us doesn't automatically give him the right to tell me what to do. Granting us free will is philosophically identical to granting us control over our own being. It's irrelevant that he made us. It's just like the government, just because it's big and has all the guns doesn't give it any actual authority over us other than what it takes by force (in God's case, threats of hell).

There is One God, and Jesus is His Son, and Jesus is God.  Jesus proved that He was who He claimed He was when He raised from the dead.  Christ is alive, and Mohammed is dead.  The choice is an easy one, and you are the one who has been deceived.

Sorry, I'm gonna pull a Mainworry but this answers your question better than I could have hoped for\n\nParable of the Two Sons:\n\nJesus told a story of two sons.  A father asked his first son to work in the fields, and he replied, "of course I will!"  He then went outside and changed his mind and did not work\n\nThe father asked his second son to help with the fields, and his son relied, "No!"  but later felt guilty and worked in the fields.\n\nJesus asked, "Now, which son did what was right?" and the crowd replied, "The second one!"  Jesus said, "Ah, surely prostitutes and tax collecters will enter heaven before you do".\n\nAthiests are the ones who say "No" to God, but often do what is right of their own choice.  Christians are the ones who say "Yes" to God, but then act in the opposite manner as they should.

when Jesus Christ said to the Father "forgive them,for they don't know what they are doing"\nthis only shows that Christ loves the Father so much that He obeyed until death,to save sinners like me.and His resurrection has opened Heaven for us.isn't it wonderful.\nHappy Easter! Christ is risen!

To the best of my understanding, Christians (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant) teach that Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience, making him unique in this respect. So it is only natural to conclude that he loved his mother more perfectly than any son ever loved their mother.

Jesus took her sin upon Himself and he was already slapped. No sin or crime is judged twice. If you want to be free of sin believe in Jesus Christ and you shall be set free.

I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO SEPARATE YOUR SON AND THE  ONLY MAN HE THOUGHT OF AS DAD, IT'S UP TO YOU AND HIM TO RESOLVE YOUR DIFFERENCES BUT DO NOT CAUSE THE SON PAIN BEACAUSE OF YOUR SEPARATION, IF HE DOES GET SOMEONE ELSE AND I AM SURE HE WILL, JUST BELIEVE IN ROMANS 8;28 AND MARK 11;23-26, FORGIVE AND GO ON.

In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Isa is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother.\n\nAllah the Almighty said: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.\n\nRemember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing."\n\nThen when she delivered her (child Maryam), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."\n\nSo her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.\n\nHe said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?"\n\nShe said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." ( 3:33-37 Quran)\n\nAllah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah. Then He specified the family of Ibrahaim (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ismail (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Maryam.\n\nMuhammad Ibn Is'haaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).\n\nProphet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.\n\nShe turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.\n\nHowever, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer: "O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (3:36 Quran)\n\nHannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the ques

Yes, I do and I am very thankful that He died, to free me from sin, even through he gives me free will to choose.  I am grateful for his grace and mercy, and do not listen to people that do not know God.  The Devil is a LIE and the Truth is not in him.  Eternal life is what I am looking for and I know that this world is not the one that I want to stay in, but to live eternal with God is the way to peace and freedom.  Thank you Jesus for your love and I pray for others, that do not know you and and hope that they find their way to you.  And God Bless this child that made this statement and keep them on the path.  This is not because I am holy and without sin either, it is because I believe and I know where Jesus has brought me from.

Yes god is sinless.  He did not get revenge, he punished them!  Like all parents punish their kids we are gods children and when we sin we are punished unless we ask for forgivenes.

He is free as a result of his fortune.   I would be bold enough to insert a "good" in there, as that is the sense. \nHe is free as a result of his good fortune.
