If Jesus was to save the world what went wrong? And what was he saving the world from? And what was that sin you bring up? Forgive me for what sin? I like apples.

Come on now, if you're gonna end a stupid question with "I like apples" at LEAST make it an entertaining one. ;-)

About the apple? Original sin was a sin of pride. Eve wanted to be like God.
About the Crucifixion? The Romans carried out the execution. The Jews falsely accused Him. But He forgave them for that.
Jesus did come to save the world, but nothing went wrong. It was all prophesied in the Old Testament.

First of all, the Jews had no seperate judicial power under the Romans. They were a despised minority. If they tried to influence the outcome of a trial, the Romans probably wouldn't listen to them.
Being so opressed, the Jews kept trying to rebel against the Romans. The rebels leaders would often claim to be the messiah or be bringing the messiah. So the Romans tended to be paranoid about wannabe-messiahs. Jesus said he was the messiah. The Romans assumed he was a rebel and crucified him. No need to involve the Jews at all.

Excellent question. It may surprise you to know that if we look at strictly the historical facts of this event, BOTH the Jews & Romans were responsible for the crucifixion. Remember, Judas betrayed Jesus. There are many scholarly theories to this event in history. But the common thread among them is the initial betrayal of Jesus. Many feel that due to simply being outnumbered, the Jews aligned themselves with the Romans. Yet when Jesus was already crucified, the Jews scrambled to the cross to beg for forgiveness from their messiah.

The Romans executed Jesus at the Jewish community's request. He was not sent to save the world, but mankind from it's lost ways. Sin entered into the world through free will, and to claim you have no sin is to tacitly admit you live an unexamined life. I also enjoy apples.

The Jews being under roman authority were not able to execute anyone. The Jews brought charges against Jesus to the Romans and they carried out the sentence. Nothing went "wrong" as you put it because Jesus came to earth to be the sacrificial lamb for all of our sins once and for all. I like apples too, they have no sin attached to them. The sin came in the disobedience from eating of The tree of knowledge. In one man ( Adam ) sin came to all. Through one man (Jesus) came forgiveness of sin for all men

The Romans executed Jesus along with thousands of other Jews left rotting on crosses lining the streets of Jerusalem.

It was obviously George W. the Republicans send him back in a time-machine and financed with the American taxpayers money, mind you....... the liberation front of Palestine, they in turn under Roman ignorance smuggled weapons through Sauli Rarabio
and had even a Zion lawyer who got Jessuss the electric-chair.
They nailed him to the cross after the execution, because of media pressure.
So there.

The Romans crucified Jesus.
The Jews didn't have the power to do such a thing, and in any event crucifixion was never a Jewish death penalty.

Romans executed Jesus.
Nothing went wrong, the world is fine.
He was saving the world from the illusion of sin.
I like apples too.

The Romans..... per the story that Mary and Joseph
went to be taxed. etc. power was not in the hands of the Jews - the power to tax is the power to govern
