Default father forgive them

Quote:
father forgive them they do not know what they are doing
if the son and the father have the same will and both are co equal in trinity, why did the son ask his father to forgive them? was the sons forgiveness unmatched with the fathers?

what is the point of asking forgiveness for a people who were going to be doomed very soon?

is it not a fact that all early christian writing say that the reason why jerusalem was destroyed because jerusalem hung yhwh on a cross?


maybe luke put forgiveness statement in jesus' mouth because he wanted to tell gentiles how much jesus loves gentiles and hates jews?
how does "father forgive them..." mean that the father forgave them?

"i am innocent of this mans blood! you see to it!"

"his blood be upon us and our children"

according to matthew , the jews do know what they were doing.
so how can there be forgiveness for them?

Certainly one reason would be Luke’s penchant to paint Romans more positive toward Christianity than Jews. I recommend anyone actually READ Acts and see how many times the author blames “the Jews, the Jews, the Jews” whereas the Roman-established authorities are demonstrated as receptive to what the Christians were saying.
so if this is the case then lukes portrayed jesus as pro roman?

They knew they were getting Jesus killed, but they knew not that he was reallio trullio the avatar of the god they already worshiped.

They were trying to preserve their religion, not realizing it was already past it's 'Best By' date.

You're trying to make sense of the Trinity. It can't be done except by those who actually believe in it.

Check Jesus's words in Mk 14:36,
He said, "Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want."
Obviously not the same will.

The trinity was grafted on to christianity over a few centuries arriving at the dispute between the Arians and the trinitarians that put the albatross around the neck.

The Christian Trinity probably developed from neo-Platonism and even shows up in early Sabbatian thought. Indeed all the Christian appeal to numerology (i.e. four gospels, the number eight, and thirty) is all rooted in the same sources probably by way of Philo directly or indirectly
