Answer 1

Romans viewed him as a religious problem of the jews, but executed him anyway. Interestingly, it was only a few decades later that the Romans changed their opinion and viewed Christianity as a threat to their way of life and started trying to eradicate the Christian faith.

Strangely, the Holy Roman Empire is nowhere to be seen and Christianity is booming. I wonder who's God won that little battle?

Answer 2

OK first of all it was Pilot that refused to sentence Jesus at first, not Cesar. Anyway, the Romans were a pagan people and believed in many gods. While the Jews believe in only one God. When the Romans conquered a people they let them keep their religious beliefs and traditions. The only problem that the Romans would have had with Jesus is that he would have been seen as a trouble maker, and they really wanted to keep the peace. They did not want a riot or an uprising on their hands which is why they eventually gave in to the demands of the people and put him to death. So, put yourself in this position: Your a Roman and you believe that there is a god or goddess for just about everything, a god or goddess for wine, hunting, the sun, the moon, you name it. There are these people who you have conqured and they believe in only one God. While this seams strange to you, you don't really have a problem with it. These people have been waiting for a King to come and free them from your rule. Along comes this man who says he is this savior, he even goes so far as to say he is the people's God's son. This doesn't really bother you but you might think he's a bit crazy. The local jewish government however are fearful of losing power to this guy and want the Romans to do something about it. At first Pilot tries to push the issue back onto the local authoraties, but they refuse to deal with him. Pilot then orders him scourged and tells the people thats enough but they want more. Pilot then tries to set him free using an old Jewish custom, but the people refuse asking to set another man fee instead. So, in an effort to keep the peace Pilot orders the man crucified, but only after he makes it clear that he finds no reason for such a sentence and that this mans blood is on his own people.

While these events eventually changed the world, in the scope of the roman empier it would have been a very minor blip on the radar screen. That is until much later when the Roman empier adopted this mans religion as its official religion. :) Hope that helps.

Answer 3

On another note, the Romans had no intention of killing Jesus, unlike the first two responders. Jeruselem was very unstable and if the Roman authority didn't comply with the Jewish Religious teachers, the city would be in total anarchy. In short, Pontious Pilot or Rome, killed Jesus to escape a huge flare up by the jews.

Answer 4

the Romans did not think much of Jesus or what he had to say. You have to remember that the Jews of that time were not happy with Roman rule and constantly resisted it. The Romans feared a Jewish revolt like exactly what did happen a few decades after Jesus death.

So they see a Jewish guy walking around proclaiming that he is the King. The think this man is trying to start a riot or revolt (which is what he might have been doing) they automatically decide to kill him to suppress any resistance .

Answer 5

They liked him and often took him into their homes for meals and to stay, because Jesus just saw them as people who needed his help, not a different race like the rest of the world did.

For your research go to a bible site and search for Romans and Publicans, which were a class of Roman during his time. Try reading the Book of Romans too, but that may be after Jesus left too.

Answer 6

If you are writing for a newspaper that could were released in Roman occasions -- even supposing it's only make-think -- you will have to fairly assess out your spelling and your grammar. Even in Roman occasions, the scribes have been cautious approximately that. If such a lot fabric comes up, why do not you check out studying a few of it and getting a couple of clues? I'll supply you one concept. It used to be a Roman centurion who handed Jesus a sponge, rainy with vinegar, to hose down his lips as he hung at the go. It used to be an act of kindness, as that used to be what the centurions themselves drank to quench their thirst.

Answer 7

Oh BOY! I just love doing your homework for you. Romans would not have thought much of Jesus, since they were loyal to the emperor and believed in the gods of Rome. The Romans killed him, remember? They would have thought he was blasphemous, just like the Jews did, for saying he was the son of a god. They were not all that enthralled with the Jews, either, and Jesus was just another Jew to them.

Answer 8

Seances are wrong. Some of Christ's converts were Romans--see Matt 8:13.

Answer 9

A Roman Centurion (Commander in charge of 100 men) came to Jesus and asked him to heal his servant who was paralyzed and in terrible pain. He had faith that Jesus could heal his servant from a distance. Jesus noted that the Roman Centurion had more faith in him (Jesus) than anyone in Isreal.

Pontius Pilate wrote "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" on a sign that went on the cross above Jesus' head and refused to change it even when pressured by the Pharisees who were the Jewish religious leaders.

A Roman Centurion who witnessed Christ's crucifixion, the thunder, the lightening, the earthquake and everything that Jesus said was heard to say "Surely, this man was the Son of God."

There was a Roman Centurion named Cornelius who was visited by an angel (after the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ) who told him to send his servants to get the Apostle Peter to come to his house. When the Apostle Peter came to his house (recorded in Acts 10) he told him about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that everyone who believes in him--who adheres to, trusts in and relies on him, giving himself up to him--receives forgiveness of sins through his name (Jesus Christ). Cornelius believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and his sins were forgiven, he spoke in unknown languages (through the Holy Spirit) extolling God and then Peter baptized him. His whole household believed also.

Many Roman soldiers, Roman servants, Roman officials and other Roman citizens came to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

It is very difficult to help you before you can use properly the English language. (Orthograph first).
I fear you could put a lot of mistakes copying stuff from Yahoo answers into your homework, and we would be blamed !
Still what Romans ironically said about Jesus was : "Jesus King of Jews"- INRI (in latin : Jesus Nazareani Rex Judei) "J" in latin being pronounced "I".
