Very loved and in awe. Really, something that impresses me is the individuality of it all. I believe that Christ would have gone through it all, even if you were the only person on earth...and that's pretty amazing to consider.

I don't think the interpretation that Jesus died for our sins is correct. It was only one of many different interpretations and this one won out. Instead, I think Jesus on the cross represents Jesus' complete non-identification with the body -- that he was so aware of our non-body, spirit nature that even the horrors of crucifixion were nothing to him. This is an incredible example to the rest of us -- that we can get that same realization.

Jesus' sacrifice doesn't magically erase our sins, but this amazing, loving gesture on our behalf paved the way for us to gain knowledge about him and his Father.

I think it is a story made up by people such as Paul, because they saw how much attention and notoriety they can get as they go about using their preaching and acting skills.

i feel that the story, while historically truthful, isa load of bull. simple as that.
YES romans were crucifying people back in those days, as it was a prefered way of torture and punishment, but the idea of a magical being sacrificing himself to himself to fix his mistakes (of which he cannot make any(god is perfect)) is absolutely absurd.
the old "religion is for the weak willed, uneducated and poor" seems to be true. at least from my perspective.

Anyway .. Christ never sinned, meaning he never judged. Wouldn't saying, "I'm not dieing for them, they don't love me!" be selfish and unloving? Two things he wasn't.

No. I believe in personal responsibility. The old testament teaches in no uncertain terms that there is no substitutional sacrifice, and that any sacrifice outside the Temple is worthless. So I would know that my sacrifice, like Yshua ben Ysef's, would be in vain.

Disgusted for my own sins, saddened by the necessity, grateful for the gift.
