Question

Are you a Christian?
Is Jesus Christ your Savior?
Did Jesus Christ die for YOUR Sins?

Answer 1

That's right, my sins put Him on the cross.
If I had been the only sinner on this earth He still would have gone to the cross.
Thats how much He loves me.

And you, too

Answer 2

That's a good ??? you have, because the King James Bible says Jesus was put to death on a tree.

Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Michelangelo and the Cross

Italian government art experts are said to be “90 percent sure” that a sculpture recently found in a monastery in Lebanon is the work of the famous Italian artist Michelangelo. The small wooden carving is said to be worth $2.5 million (U.S.) if it actually is Michelangelo’s work. According to an Associated Press report, “the figure is unusual because it represents Christ with his hands stretched out above his head instead of to the side, as he usually is depicted on the cross.”

Whether the wooden sculpture is the work of the 16th-century artist Michelangelo or not, it illustrates that the impalement of Christ on a cross frame has not always been so certain as Christendom’s leaders today would have people believe. For example, the 16th-century Roman Catholic scholar Justus Lipsius illustrated impalement on an upright stake in his book “De Cruce Liber Primus.” This fits the meaning of the Greek word used in the Bible to describe the impalement of Christ, “stauros”, which “denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake.”, “An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.

Jesus Christ did not die on a cross. The Greek word generally translated “cross” is stau·ros'. It basically means “an upright pale or stake.” The Companion Bible points out: “[Stau·ros'] never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, There is nothing in the Greek of the [New Testament] even to imply two pieces of timber.”

In several texts, Bible writers use another word for the instrument of Jesus’ death. It is the Greek word xy'lon. This word simply means “timber” or “a stick, club, or tree.”

Explaining why a simple stake was often used for executions, the book Das Kreuz und die Kreuzigung (The Cross and the Crucifixion), by Hermann Fulda, states: “Trees were not everywhere available at the places chosen for public execution. So a simple beam was sunk into the ground. On this the outlaws, with hands raised upward and often also with their feet, were bound or nailed.”

The most convincing proof of all, however, comes from God’s Word. The apostle Paul says: “Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: ‘Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake [“a tree,” King James Version].’” (Galatians 3:13) Here Paul quotes Deuteronomy 21:22, 23, which clearly refers to a stake, not a cross. Since such a means of execution made the person “a curse,” it would not be proper for Christians to decorate their homes with images of Christ impaled.

There is no evidence that for the first 300 years after Christ’s death, those claiming to be Christians used the cross in worship. In the fourth century, however, pagan Emperor Constantine became a convert to apostate Christianity and promoted the cross as its symbol. Whatever Constantine’s motives, the cross had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. The cross is, in fact, pagan in origin. The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures.” Various other authorities have linked the cross with nature worship and pagan sex rites.

Answer 3

"Who put Jesus Christ on the Cross? "
He gave himself. He said so multiple times and when he did, almost everyone didn't understand him. And it's that way today. It's as if people don't see it when they read it.

"Are you a Christian?"
Yes.

"Is Jesus Christ your Savior?"
Yes.

"Did Jesus Christ die for YOUR Sins?"
Yes.

"Did not every Christian that excepts Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior, put Jesus on the Cross?"
Well, I suppose that you can say that figuratively. But I couldn't do anything unless God gave it to me. But I will lean upon the first answer I gave you, he gave himself. He called it, and I wasn't even born back then. Do with that what you want.

Answer 4

Jesus died for each and every one of our sins whether we believe in Him or not. But, not every person that He died for will receive the inheritance. When we accept Jesus as our Savior(accept being the key word) we become adopted into God's family and that means that we will receive our inheritance. Eternal life. The bible says, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Do you see what that says? God loves us so much, so much more than we can comprehend, that He sent His one and only Son to DIE for us on a cross, because He knew that we would never be able to make it unless He sent an intercessor for us. Did my sins personally put Jesus on that cross? Yes. Because the bible says that He died for MY sins. Jesus is my Savior and I praise Him!

Answer 5

Jesus went WILLINGLY to His death on the cross. His express purpose in coming to the Earth was to offer His sinless life as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. That is why His death took place during Passover: the Passover ritual was the "foreshadowing" of the actual sacrifice the Christ would make.

If you are looking for someone to blame for the necessity of the sacrifice, then all humans ever born are to blame, past, present, and future. Jesus died for the sins of all humanity. The first sinners, if you need their names, are "Adam" and "Eve", since we all count our lineage from them.

If you want the justice system that sent Jesus to Death Row, then you need the Judaistic Sanhedrin of 30-ish AD, governed by Annas and Caiphas, the High Priests of that time, and the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. It was Roman soldiers that did the actual torturing and crucifixion.

Those who accept the atoning sacrifice of Christ, are equivalent to the Jews in the world who practice Passover by putting the "sacrificial blood" on the doorposts and frames of their houses. They accept the benefit of the sacrifice made for them. Those who make the sacrifice necessary, but reject it's affects, are still responsible, but do not benefit from the mercy offered by the sacrifice.

Answer 6

It was the Christian God so he could make a point and in turn he created a bone of contention. If God set in motion the crucifiction of his only son and then his son rose up and ascended to heaven to be at his father's side, then what did God sacrafice? You can't say you sacrafice anything only to get it back in the end! Which would make God out to be a liar. Christians are born into original sin and through God's sacrafice of his only son they are saved from that sin which makes the Christian religious history flawed and therefor not perfect. What this boils down to is revial religions fighting each others beliefs just like rival sports teams. Biy that is just too petty, so I will retain my Goddess and God and tell you to go get game!

Answer 7

Christians and sinners alike put Jesus on the cross, in a manner of speaking!

Answer 8

Mmm. Someone used to sing a song about that at my church. Something about "do you still feel the nails again each time that I sin and you forgive again". It was very pretty.

As a kid, it freaked me out though. I already felt guilty for sneaking a cookie from the jar, now I had to feel guilty about Jesus dying all over again for that one sin. Oy.

Answer 9

Not just every Christian. YOU put Him on that cross, I put Him on that cross, the WHOLE WORLD put Him on that cross. Jesus died for everyone's sins, so that means that we all killed Him.

Answer 10

Rome was representative of the entire world! Everybody that does not repent is still putting Him there.
