Quote:Also, the point was raised that Jesus was suffering and asking why. The conclusion reached is that because Jesus had to ask why, He did not share in the decision of his crucifixion nor in the divine nature of his Father.
But if God chose Jesus, and told us to worship him, that who are we to question his divine nature?
A King expects his prince to be treated the same as himself, and for everyone to carry out his wishes/commands.
You also seem to miss the point that we all share in this inheritance. In denying Jesus his inheritance, we also deny our own.
There are many ways to deny Jesus, just as there are many ways to distort his (God's) teachings. Is there a difference between accepting Jesus and distorting the message, or in accepting the message and distorting Jesus? In all things, we want to do the right things with the right reasoning.
The quote from 2 Corinthians 11:4 basically says the same thing. The truth is the narrow path, surrounded on both sides by an expanse of error. Like math, there are an infinite number of wrong answers, but only one correct one. 1+1=2.
