To christians who believe that Jesus was crucified..?

Question

Christians beleive in story about bad people had crucified Jesus "Son of God". Thats sounds very puzzling:
as if Jesus is God ( part of Trinity), means God let people crucified HIMSELF???
I do not know know who is more insane - me, asking this or others who believe in this??

Answer 1

I am the one who's going insane here! I am confused too, probably because of people who have been trying to justify the belief in the Trinity. To believe in the Trinity goes against all of the teachings of Jesus, as well as the Bible. This is because the Trinity is a man-made doctrine that was drawn up several hundred years after Jesus. In this time period different interpretations of the Bible were causing serious debates among Christians. The various interpretations were, undoubtedly, due to human perversion of the original scriptures, poor preservation, and/or shoddy translations. One of the main things being questioned was the nature of God and Jesus. Was Jesus actually God, the son of God, or just a messenger? The Council of Nicea was formed in an attempt to settle this dispute, and the Nicea Creed (the Trinitarian doctrine) was subsequently hammered out.

Answer 2

They crucified a lamb not a man, for the first 800yrs of Christianity their symbol was of a lamb and a cross or a lamb on a cross...this later turned into a lamb with a mans head on a cross and later still it became a man on a cross ..a crucifix if you will.

It seems more likely that the Chistians actually would have sacrificed a lamb to God to atone for sins rather than an innocent and popular man who most people supposedly loved. It makes no sense that the people would have called out for an innocent man accused of nothing to be executed and that Pontius Pilate would have obliged, these people observed very strict legal procedures, they invented civic law and would have observed it scrupulously, the crucifixion didn't happen, it was a cruci-fiction.

Answer 3

Jesus was crucified. Crucifixion was a common punishment in those days where a lot of so called crimes were punishable with death. It normally takes a person up to 48 hours to die from crucifixion and the person usually die from asphyxiation. It is a very cruel and painful punishment. Jesus died in a matter of hours, probably because of his weakened state having undergone torture before 2 separate authorities and tribunals for which he had caused great distress. We do not really know what crime Jesus was really tried for but it would seem to be related to crimes against the State; possibly for sedition, or blasphemy or maybe somrthing as simple as inciting disorderly conduct. There are no clear historical evidence on this but there were clear historical evidence that a Nazarene named Iesus was crucified. The physical act of the crucifixion itself has nothing much to do with His divinity. It was the Resurrection on which the faith of Christianity was profoundly founded. We should not view Christianity or Christ in simple historical or physical explanation. By its very nature, faith and religion is not dependent on physical logic and should not be so. What is needed is for us to deal with the question of faith and the message of love and salvation that is so needed by everyone.

Answer 4

Read the Bible, he was incarnate into a man. They knew he was the son of God, he wrought so many miracles, even rose the dead. But the elders of Israel were so stubborn, they grew up greedy and did anything to make money. They claimed to be Godly but God in the flesh told them that they were hypocrits. They denied him being the Messiah because from their interpretations of the scriptures, the Messiah was supposed to come gloriously and be crowned king and give them a kingdom and save them from the romans. But he came in a humble lowly, poor situation in flesh, living a life of self-denial for others and never for himself. Most of the selfish and greedy elders of Israel allowed the enemy to control them, they shut out the light given them by Jesus, rejected him, and wanted him killed.

Answer 5

What better way to help those you love than to pay their debts yourself. Sounds like a loving God to me. That way, we still have free will to not choose the right path. Over and over again God tries to help us, but He never makes the choice to believe so easy that it takes the meaning out of it.

What's better a spouse that loves you because they fell in love with you, or a spouse that was forced into marriage with you? What's better, kind loving parents that chose to have kids or those that had children forced on them? God is looking to love us and to recieve love back. Forced love is rarely love at all.

Answer 6

Murdering innocent people is wrong. So why God lets it happen? Because he has is reasons to let it happen, though it doesn't make it right to do. The same thing applies with the crucificatian of Jesus, according to those who believe he was "kind of god" or something of that kind.

Answer 7

Yes it sounds insane and so beautiful when you realize what that sacrifice means to us and to billions all over the world, past, present and future.
But, it is the truth. To build a bridge to cross man to God, Jesus allowed Himself to be the ultimate sacrifice. A sinless man, made to be sin for our sakes.

Answer 8

I don't know what you're getting at? I"m an athiest, but i'm pretty sure that christians believe that jesus knew he was going to be crucified, and still did it to free all humanity from sin. and that's why they love jesus.

Answer 9

JESUS CAME DOWN TO EARTH THE SON OF GOD LIVED AMONG US LIKE US- WITHOUT SIN- BLEED AND DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE COULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND SEE HIM IN HEAVEN I FOR ONE AM EXTREMELY HAPPY . GOD LET HIS ONLY SON DIE ON THE CROSS SO WE WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE SO THAT WE CAN GO SEE HIM SOMEDAY GOD BLESS AND I HOPE U FIND THE ANSWERS YOUR LOOKING FOR

Answer 10

It's not insanity, it's true. Besides demonstrating his love for us, allowing people to do that also shows how serious he is about allowing people to have freedom to choose - even if it means they would use that freedom to kill the one who was trying to save them.
