    Why did God create a bespoke Y chromosome just for Jesus? Why couldn’t Jesus have been born female? What would that change?

        Yes, there is evidence that women were crucified.

        One Roman punishment if a slave killed their master was often that all slaves in the household were crucified. I imagine there were less women crucified overall and that it was less common, but I don’t think there’s evidence that women were exempted.

          This happened to the slaves of Lucius Pedanius Secundus when he was murdered by one of his slaves. All 400 of his slaves including whomen and children were crucified.

      Because God is male. Man was created in God’s image, Jesus refers to God in heaven as Father, Jesus is a male (He was circumcised) and the Holy Spirit is also Male (as the Holy Spirit impregnated the Virgin Mary)

        Why is God male? Does God have a Y chromosome? Does God produce sperm? Does God have testes?

        Where is your textual support for the trinity?

          Matthew 28:19

          Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

          Name is singular, and He is equating the Son and the Holy Spirit to the Father who is clearly God. Jesus also claims to be God numerous times.

            Matthew does have a “higher” Christology, but how does that mesh with Luke, Mark and John? Can we perhaps notice some patterns in when different gospels were likely written, and how there’s clear evidence of escalation in the claims about what Jesus was, as the texts get further and further away from his actual life?

            If the Trinity and Jesus’s divinity are so clearly established in the text, why did it take centuries to come to an agreement on what Christ’s divine nature was? The gospels contradict each other.

              The divinity of Jesus was affirmed at the first Council of Nicea in 325ad. 3 people out of the 318 attendants denied Jesus’ divinity. It was already a consensus, the council was just to solidify it. It was hardly considered debatable. That’s like claiming that “If the bald eagle was America’s national bird since 1776, then why did it only get solidified in law in 2024”. The bald eagle wasn’t invented as the national bird in 2024, it was simply made official.
