The point is, WE sin because WE choose to. We can’t blame 'Fate' or 'GOD' for not resisting temptations.
Jesus chose to surrender his will to that of gods. He knew he would be accountable for his choices, not just at the last moment but from the very beginning- he said thy will, will be done.That is what is aptly termed as Destiny.A product of free will and fate.There were no more forks in his path to be able to make a moral choice in the very end.

The Bible teaches that Man was created with the ability to make moral choices and that he is responsible for those choices. The Fall of Man was not a predetermined event in which Adam and Eve were hapless victims of a Puppet-Master God. On the contrary, Adam and his wife had the ability to choose obedience (with its attendant blessing) or disobedience (with its consequent curse). They knew what the result of their decision would be, and they were held accountable.

"Fighting against the plan of God is pointless. “There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan /that can succeed against the LORD” (Proverbs 21:30). This is why the Tower of Babel was never completed (Genesis 11:1-9), why Daniel’s detractors were thrown to the lions (Daniel 6:24), why Jonah spent time inside a fish (Jonah 1:17), and why I get in trouble when I sin."
"Everything that happens in the world is made to work out according to God’s purpose. Evil exists, but it is not allowed to thwart God’s providence. God uses even sinful men for His purposes. “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; / he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases” (Proverbs 21:1). God worked in the hearts of the Egyptians (Exodus 12:36) and King Artaxerxes (Ezra 7:27) to bring about His purpose. Even when Man’s intent is purely evil, God can still bring about His will, as in the case of those who crucified Jesus (Acts 2:23; 4:27-28)."

I dont think Jesus had a replacement nor will he ever have one.As per the word of GOD, he fulfilled the prophecy.

o-da memories... my old mutual sparkly mischief-making buddy Saggy "Jovian"...!
*Hey, U B Fred?-or-Ginger?* (I still laugh thinking how naughty and raucous we could get! There was just something about our combo....almost got in trouble together here for it... wow!

*clears throat*....

... rajji? I knew you were "religious" but I wasn't clear on the degree and extent of your passionate dedication to this sect of people. I'm gently and kindly sorry if I misunderstood before. My wide apologies to you...

Read through that URL you provided ... didn't realize "I" had so much in common with Lucifer! okay, and the other esoteric leaders too. But with your mom??... awww? not fair! I'm old, but NOT that older! My spirit of Gemini keeps me bouncy... Hardly act my age. People see me and automatically guess me to be 10 years or more younger.... I've got that baby-face ingénue-look like Shirley Temple, and Sally Field (I could have been her double years ago... and hey, kinda now too!)

Rajji {{hug?}}

I pray and hope that you're doing okay...?

In the Bible, "Lucifer" was the most beautiful and privileged being in Heaven, set with the responsibility of leading worship. His name got changed to "Satan" after the fall from Heaven...

The further we climb or spread-out in the sphere of influence then the more dangerous our "fall" can be-- seen or unseen, inner or outer. Desperately it is important to have True friends nearby-- to be there for us, balance, ground, and lift us back up when we've been all torn apart and afflicted.

Jesus, is a Friend of The Wounded Heart...
