After King Acrisius sent Danae and Perseus away from Argos, they came to a land where the king collected wives and he wanted Danae as a wife, but she refused, so he sent soilders out after her(After what must seem like the millionth time of asking her to Danae) And Perseus beat them up and sent them back and told them to tell the King she would marry who she wanted, so the King, (Obviously being really mad At Perseus) Wanted Perseus killed so he told him to go and kill Medusa thinking he would be killed, But he got the head as asked and brought it to Athena (And Yes King Acrisius was killed by Perseus like in the prophecy) That is why he cut Medusa's head off.

Thanks for clearing that up, Joey. It's been bugging me for a while.

Jesus' suffering showed us that his love for (and obedience to) his Father, and for his brothers, was greater than his love for himself. He also showed this to Satan - which was why, I believe, that Satan's challenge was both answered and destroyed - because of the loyalty and of the faith of the one man, Christ Jesus.
He also asked his Father to forgive those sinning against him, giving us yet another example of forgiveness to follow.
Of course, Jesus also suffered because of the fear and anger and hard-heartedness of the people in power around him - who refused to listen to Him, perhaps because they would have had to confront the hypocrisy within themselves.

If I want to forgive someone, it's not necessary for me to punish anyone. It makes absolutely no sense to me, why an Almighty, loving God would punish his Son, for an offense that someone else committed
I couldn't agree more, leavingwt. Believers can quote scriptures and provide explanations till the cows come home but I will never be able to accept why all that unimaginable suffering and eventual death of an innocent man needed to take place. Sorry, but that's how I feel.
