There are a few problems I have with that story.
1) Why would God feel the need to kill his only begotten son to redeem us to himself?
2) Why did JC have to tell God "Forgive them for they know not what they do." if he planned it that way?
3) Why in the heck is God a he anyway?
Erm sorry. Please don't take my questions as an attack on your faith but they are questions I have had and no one has been able to sufficiently answer them for me.
But I do have a tongue in cheek comment on the God being he or she.
You haven't met many strong women have you?
And I don't mean the brune hilda muscle women either. But a strong willed woman.
Death is as traumatic for the soul as it is for the newborn baby animal, a drastic change of conditions, so I think the body has ways it will in a way ease the transition, in otherwords the various activities science sees a brain going through (as well as trying to stay alive) prior to death.
