10.According to Luke, when the Jews tried Jesus they
asked him Are you the son of God? Jesus replied you
say that I am (Luke 22:70) which could mean: you say
that I am but I do not. ...why did he not
plainly say yes instead of couching his answer in
ambiguous terms?
It probably varies with translation.

13.If Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him,
why did he not tell the other disciples so that Judas
could be excluded from his closest circle of
followers?
Cos he was nice! :) (And had no free will :p)

20.Why did Pontius Pilate just simply ignore his wife's
plea to have nothing to do with Jesus on account of
her bad dream? (Matthew 27:19)
Because it was a dream, and she was a woman. Caesar did it too.

33.Why was it that a Roman soldier was so readily
prepared to allow Joseph (a subjected citizen) to
take down Jesus's body from the cross without
checking and without Joseph having any apparent
lawful authority?
Because he was human? :rolleyes:

37.Crucifixion was a slow death. It usually lasted
several days. ...

38.If Jesus really was expected to die in such a short
time, why did Pilate express surprise at Jesus's
death? (Mark 15:42-44)
Relate to the above Q.

45.When Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of Jesus saw
him, he was wearing gardener's clothing (John
20:15). Where did Jesus get these clothes from?
He's just risen from the dead, and you're wondering where he got his clothes from? lol

Some good ones, but most seem to be clutching at straws.

Jesus never did say he was the son of god? hehe I knew it!

My belief of Jesus can be summed up like this:
“Once upon a time ~2000 years ago: there was a man who said maybe it would be nice if everyone could just love each other and get along… so the people back then nailed him to some kind of wooden post and left him to die in the hot sun, the end.

He DID say he was the son of god, just not in that verse

Ok please give us those verse?

Not that I like agreeing with Green_World but some times even people you think are total psychopaths can say something reasonable that you agree with (if only some what)... At those times it is honorable to tell them you agree with them on this subject (only in context).

Hmmm...it has just occured to me that if Jesus is the answer, then Jesus must be 42!
