Was Jesus sacrificed to Odhinn?

Question

Consider what is known:
1. In the outer reaches of the Roman Empire, it was common for soldiers to be mercenaries hired from among the Germanic tribes.
2. These tribesmen worshipped Odhinn/Woden, the only Norse/Teutonic deity known to have received human sacrifices.
3. Human sacrifice to Odhinn was ordinarily done by first hanging someone, and then spearing them.
4. The Roman centurion at the crucifixion speared Jesus.
5. Tradition has it that his name was Longinius. There is reportedly a tomb of Longinius in Germany that claims its occupant crucified Jesus.

So . . . was he putting him out of his misery, or sacrificing him to Odhinn?

Answer 1

Woah...this is a great question...

Especially if you consider that Titus Panthera (the roman centurion that is belived to be Jesus's real father)... is also believed to be from Germanic Descent...

Cool, thought...
But I've never read anything on it....

Answer 2

Well, what I am about to say is base on my knowledge. Crucifixion is a form of torture. The bible says Jesus was sacrifice/died for our sins. I say sacrifice because He stood by his conviction that He is the son of GOD. Being hung on the cross without water, HE died a horrible death. Then comes the roman centurion with the sword to make sure he was dead by plunging the sword by his side. It's is said blood and water came out and then it was done. Instead of sacrifice I am convince that Jesus was murder because the people(Hebrews) of the time accused him of blasphemy. In reality JESUS was who he said he was-GOD in the flesh.

Answer 3

Add to that the fact that the oarsman that rowed the boat across the river Styx was named HEL. Also, Odin was the first to admit some of his knowledge came from others.

Answer 4

No he was really killed by his fellow Jews who were jealous of how other Jews that was attracted to what he was teaching. Who also used the Romans Laws and the Romans to kill him..........................................
