We can't speak for Jesus but here, we can't rule out the possibility of a miracle."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

You and 15 others are in a lifeboat which is now overloaded by the weight of one person. The water around you is surrounded by sharks. There is a island in the distance. You can't sacrifice yourself. What do you do? And for some reason, you are the only one who can make the choice and no one volunteers to die.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Well if I have nothing to go on I will throw anyone who is not a young adult female off and head for the island with the rest hoping it's abandoned."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

I know! It's fun to make fun of the really crazy ethical dilemmas that are so contrived that I wouldn't be suprised if Aquaman showed up to save them. That's the thing, ethical dilemmas manufactured for a philosophical discussion seem to have to cut off any possibility of picking a different option. We're not pretending to put Jesus in it. That would make it even more pointless than if you inserted the Justice League and the Avengers and the Enterprise crew and every other fictional hero. Because Jesus is real and infinity more aewsome and powerful than any character we can make up.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
