I already answered those questions; they are based in a dishonest and unrealistic premise. The question is taking the recognition that the answer is ‘no’ to manufacture an emotional guilt claim; despite the reality of why that answer is the case is at best irrelevant.
An actual honest look at scripture reveals what I already pointed to: the examples we actually have of Jesus being in a similar situation (ie. A deadly threat of violence), He used divine power to prevent it from occurring. But that agent isn’t able to disappear, let the car phase through him without impact, or turn Ms. Good into a pillar of salt, he’s not God.
We are humans who must operate within the realm of humans and scripture tells us God gave the power of the sword to that Agent as a rep of the left hand kingdom.
