The New Testament says:
Hebrews 9:22
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:21-23 (in Context) Hebrews 9 (Whole Chapter)
Jesus shed His own precious blood to pay for the sins of His people who place their trust in Him for their salvetion.
I hope this helps!

Crucifixion had nothing to do with forgiveness.
Crucifixion is a hanging and God says in Deuteronomy 21:23 that the hanged one is accursed of God.
Jesus had to die because Pontius Pilate was a just Roman Governor who set out to punish the Biblical Jews for robbing him of his Passover holiday and for insisting on taking the life of an innocent man who had the powers of a Roman God in feeding the hungry, healing the sick and raising the dead to llife.
The innocent man was set free and Jesus was taken from his cell and beaten and spat upon and made to bear his cross to Golgotha where he was crucified.
This first Jesus was followed by a second Jesus in like manner and no one even suspected there were two Jesuses, not even you..
The third cross was borne by Simon, who was also thought to be another Jesus because of the inscription on the cross that identified each crossbearer as a Jesus.
Pilate was most successful in his Crucifixion Hoax and has confused you, 2000 years later, into asking such a riduculous question in this age of computers and internet.
No real God will forgive sinners with the crucifixion of two thieves and even before they sin.

God had to come to this Planet,to buy back,what Adam
lost by Rebeling against one Law.
The Redember had to defeat Satan as a Man,although He was and is God.The sacrifice of Blood,had to be pure,He had no Earthley Father.God had given only 10 Laws,so God came as a little Baby,experianced every loss sorrow pain,no man had or can
keep God"s Law,so no one could be the Perfect Sacrifice,that
God requires.By the Law Man is aware of his Sin,But no Remedy
Jesus could not use His unlimited Power to defeat Satan,to buy
back Man,.The {Creation} of God.If He had,What would that mean?Jesus did not break any of the Law of God,Thru this He
purchased a Pardon for Every Man -Women-Child that ever lived-
ever living Person,,But to recieve this Pardon confess and ask.
I think one of the sadest things will be all those unclaimed Pardons?

No, couldn't be done. Adam was made perfect but fell because of sin. This caused a separation between God and man. It required a perfect man to stand before God and that was Jesus. God is perfect and can not allow sin in His presence. Jesus is the only one perfect enough to stand before God. I have often pondered this thought myself but just have to leave it in God's hands it is too beyond me.

Before Jesus, people sacrificed animals (normally lambs) as repentence for sins. But Judaism had gone far astray--Judah and Israel had been destroyed, and people's sins kept pilling up. Jesus came to show God's love, preach the truth, and behave as the final sacrifice--taking away all the sins of the world. Thanks to Him, all we need to do is believe in Him and our sins are washed away--no more sacrifice. Also, by coming to earth and taking on a body, God now knows exactly what we are up against on earth. He knows the pain of the flesh. Now, we are supposed to be able to suffer persecution for Him as a testimony to our faith.

Through His death God showed how much He loved the world, He gladly took up unto His shoulder our sins and opened the doors of heaven. His death defeated death because he resurrected on the third day.
It is also a calling for us to forgive others and follow Him, can you just forgive someone who persecuted you severely and unjustly? and just to forget? Its' not that easy, those are our crosses we have to carry.

Because it was a choice he made. He decided that he was going to become one of the most famous people in the entire world, and start a new religion. But he didn't know that it would get out of hand like it did!
God is judgemental! Well at least the God I worship isn't.

because it fulfills what god had already said
explanation:
God had made his covenenant with man the wage of sin was death. there were instructions on how to attone for sin but the sin could not be erased without the payment. Christ paid the wage for sin past present and future with his death, and arose to be at the right hand of the father. Through his death we too can conquer sin and death by accepting the ternal life offered through him. The only way for god to fullfill what he had told man was for christ to pay the wage of sin and conquer them. hope this helps

GOD loved us so much that HE came here was born of a virgin...They called HIS name Jesus.. Without the shedding of blood, Jesus's blood there is no remission of sins.. It was not the nails that kept HIM on the cross it was love for us..
