(N). Matthew 8:2,3 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

satan had no right to kill God (or one member of the Godhead). God had to allow it. The deal about angels being "on the fence is just a personal opinion based on my belief that it is not only humanity on trial during the judgement; it is God as well. For sin to be totally eradicated among all free-will beings in the universe, they all must be totally and eternally convinced that God's way is the only way; and that they freely choose to (as opposed to being intimidated into) living in accordance with Kingdom principles forever. God knew that Christ would fulfill the requirements for salvation; but foreknowledge is different than predestination. Christ still had a free will, He could have aborted His mission any time He wanted to. But He CHOSE the way of sinlessness and the cross out of love for His creation - you and me. As an aside, I also believe that God is transcendent of time. Whereas we created beings are only aware of the past and present, God - since He is God - can see the future. So the Father already "knew" that Jesus would accomplish His mission. But again, foreknowledge is not the same as predestination.
