Even if it did, why not something less painful?

How does Jesus getting nailed save me, and from what?

Spartacus too was crucified, but he is never known for saving mankind!

Humanity was sold into sin by one perfect man. Adam. Because we sin, we die. That's the price, no clearance sale or anything. Humanity was saved from sin and ultimately death, by another perfect man, Jesus. (needed to be perfect blood that was spilt here to match the value of Adams). Also it showed God that humans can do his will to the end. So, now, if you sin, do something terrible and you feel bad about it, or later on in life you decide there is a God, and you want to be forgiven, this can be easily done with a prayer through Jesus's name. Therefore our sin will be forgiven in the eyes of God and we will have hope for everlasting life. (Not in heaven though, on earth. I didn't read about Jesus ever ressurecting someone in heaven. All the ressurecting he did was back on earth. It makes more sense.)

Jesus Christ was and is the only perfect being to walk the face of the earth. He took the sins of the world upon His shoulders to provide a way of escape so that we would not have to suffer eternal death and separation from God. Why the cross? Because that was the most despicable way anyone could go even tho he was not guilty. He is our only way to heaven.

Ok...Jesus is the Messiah and He was making the ultimate sacrifice; His life for ours. Because of the original sin, we should've been on that cross ourselves to atone for our sins but Christ paid the ultimate price (He is without sin) so we wouldn't have to do that (and hopefully, spend Eternity with Him).
It wasn't so much the nails and the whipping and I can imagine that can be very painful; it was the act of bearing the world's sins. That was the most painful part of being crucified. So technically, we put Christ on that cross.
Does this answer your question?

Even better, how does a person get nailed to a cross by Romans, and blame the Jews, when the Romans never actually nailed people to crosses (the Jews did not either)?

My son stupidly left some of my dad's tools outside and they rusted
, he also broke dad's favorite fish pole. Well, I paid the price of the
items and dad let him off the hook.
Now, does that have anything to do with Jesus Christ dying on
the cross for my redemption with The Father ????????

Jesus dying on the cross, believing it,saves you from thinking for yourself.

It didn't - but his death allows you to seek and receive eternal life if you want to.
or not!
Good Luck!
