does the interpretation of the story of Jesus change the spiritual significance of his actions?

Question

I believe that Jesus did not die for my sins but rather that he was murdered for being the heir to the throne of Israel and at that time the Romans ruled over the Hebrews, therefore the significance of his story is that evil can not ultimately conquer the righteous and furthermore that salvation comes to those who worship God with all their hearts, minds and souls. He tried to teach the Hebrew people that the kingdom they desired will not be created because they do not love God as they should.

I believe if I do not work righteous deeds I will go to hell. My positive deeds must out way my negative deeds for salvation and my faith in Jesus is why I believe as I do.

Answer 1

he never wrote anything down so you would have to go back there and ask him

Answer 2

The way in which you have interpreted it is good, but it doesn't change the spiritual significance of His actions.
A person can see His life from whatever point of view they want to, but the spiritual significance will remain the same.
That significance being that His birth was foretold, and in spite of Herod ordering the wise men to tell them where the baby was so that he could worship Him also, the wise men knew it was a trick, and didn't tell him. Jesus lived in spite of the odds. He was not formed in the way that humans are formed, no sperm was needed in His conception, and His mother was still a virgin. No sexual intercourse took place between Mary and the holy spirit. And finally, He died for our sins, so that the world, through Him, might be saved, and nothing that any one thinks, could change that.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe so. How you interpret the message of salvation changes everything.
You either believe what is written or you do not. Are you right? I am sure that you have reached your conclusion through your own studies. Your interpretation does not fit with me.
I am unable to ascertain how you reached you conclusion but at the end of the day you are solely responsible for your own beliefs.
Believe what you want...maybe in time you will reach a more rational conclusion.
Don't interpret my answer as an attack, it is not. I truly believe it is an irrational conclusion. You ask, I answer. Take care!

Answer 4

One must approach the gospels as historic accounts and read as such, not interpreted. The Jewish leaders sought to have Him put to death for blasphemy, because He called Himself God. The Romans reluctantly went along because the Jewish leaders also claimed that He sought to overthrow the Roman government, which He had no interest in doing. He did die for your sins, according to the Scriptures, and rose from the dead.

Answer 5

Please continue to read and re read the story of the crucifixion.

The Romans had no interest in murdering Jesus Christ. They offered to release him , as they found no wrong with him.

The israelites demanded he be put to death. The Romans offered to release Jesus as was custom at the time of passover to release one prisoner back to them. The Israelites demanded the release of Barabas (a known murderer) and again demanded that Jesus Christ be crucified.

So, no while the Romans committed the actual act of the crucifixion, the Israelites demanded their (king) Messiah be put to death.

Answer 6

You are way off....Read the Gospel of John, it tells you that Jesus and God are one and it is Gods desire that you comprehend that. And if you do not believe Jesus died for you, then you cannot possibly know the Father.

Answer 7

If you do not believe Jesus died for your sins than it changes the spiritual significance of where you will spend your eternity.

Answer 8

Eh. Intriguing but I don't buy it. Not to say you're wrong, just that there's more to it.
Pick up this book "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart D. Ehrman, 2005.

Answer 9

You're not allowed to believe Jesus was murdered. You're a Muslims. Mohammad said that Jesus wasnt killed, and someone was killed in his place.

Koran Sura (Chapter) 4 verse 157 "But they killed him [Christ] not nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them. They killed him not...."

Stop following that false prophet. Leave Islam before it is too late!

Answer 10

Just think, there are 5 billion people on Earth who don't care about Jesus at all. You seem obsessed.

Answer 11

Does your question/answer above imply that you think that you don't have any sin, or else that you do not need forgiveness? I think that your belief does change your attitude toward God.

1 John 1: 8-10 (NIV)
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

Romans 5:1-19 (NIV)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned — for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
