It's pretty simple
We are all sinners destined for hell. Jesus offered up His life as payment for all our sins so that we can have the opportunity at life after death.
Then He gives us the freedom to choose if we want to accept that sacrifice or reject it

Jesus was mercilessly crucified and tortured by those who were 'ignorant' and his greatness is in the fact that he forgave his tormentors by pleading GOD to forgive them since they do not know what they were doing. Jesus shed his blood to save humanity from the depths of sinful ignorance to which men had fallen. And as for Christ, he came back from the dead and proved that God, almighty had accepted his sacrifice. Today billions of people around the world who believe in Jesus feel redeemed by the fact that Jesus shall atone for their sins till eternity by shedding his blood, but they also would make sure that they should not create such circumstances by taking refuge in Jesus's teachings in the BIble.

in the olden days you will see that animals were sacrificed for our sins . Those animals that we grow and sacrifice cannot wash away all our sins . And God also realised that man was suffering under the weight of sin so he sent Jesus to die for us and shed his blood even though he was without sin and he rose from the dead and is continually cleansing us sinners when we ask for forgiveness in repentance. If you pray to Jesus he will give you the understanding dear and if you want to know more and have more questions you can email me .

For the wages of sin is death, but the give of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
These two verses give you a little information as to why Jesus Christ would die on a cross. By the way, death by crucifixion was one of the most horrible ways to die. He does not want to see us die in sin, so he became the sacrifice in our stead so that we might have life.

No, you ought to settle for Him because of the fact the Son of God, meaning that he's God in flesh. seem at this passage: Luke 23:40-40 3 however the different, answering, rebuked him, asserting, "Do you no longer even concern God, seeing you're under a similar condemnation? John 5:18 states: 18For this reason the Jews tried all the extra durable to kill him; no longer in user-friendly terms grow to be he breaking the Sabbath, yet he grow to be even calling God his very own Father, making himself equivalent with God. that is sparkling that the early followers of Christ believed that Christ grow to be God in flesh or no longer less than in some why shape or type a hundred% equivalent with God. whether you seem at Christ being nailed on a bypass. This grow to be a curse to Jewish human beings and that they have got been to offer their existence for yet another Jew - yet yet they needless to say gave Him over - Why? because of the fact it grow to be lawful to convict to dying on the bypass one that claimed to be God. that is why that they had no concern with it. Even Peter's Church , which we nonetheless know the area has imprinted on the partitions the worshipof Christ as God or Diety. So no, you won't be able to settle for Christ with out fairly accepting who he's, and that's God in flesh. we live in an age the place we've not got any concern re-defining christianity and what it means to be christian, yet neither the way nor the Diety of Christ has replaced. and that's regardless of denomination nor age.

It is all insanity. That idea of human sacrifice,blood to forgive comes from ancient, primitive people.
Blood sacrifices , the ritual killing of an animal was practiced by many religions as a means of appeasing a god or gods or changing the course of nature. Animal sacrifice has turned up in almost all cultures, from the Hebrews to the Greeks and Romans and from the Aztecs to the Yoruba.
The Christian want to stay ignorant and do not research the origins of their religion, but blindly believe what they have been told.
Let me give you some links ,it is plenty of information for you to understand where they got that myth from.

Jesus gave blood to save world from sin----has mystical significance. Sri Rama & Sri Krishna too had tragic ends as Jesus. But we did not build our religion on them. Here Jesus shows that" I am the way, the truth& life. Jesus's life & teachings gave faith to form a religion.This dogma is spiritual & not physical.It was a SOCIO-POLITICAL movement, hated by JEWS& the result is CRUCIFICATION. MathewXI 28-30; Come unto me , all ye that labour & are heavily laden, & I will give you rest.(2)Bagavad-Gita XVIII-66;-Renounce all your duties & take refuge in me. I shall redeem yu from all sins.

Forgive them. They know not what they said. No one achieves anything by dieing or shedding blood for his people. It matters what he left for his people. It is a wrong interpretation that has a negative effect to all what Jesus did for the mankind.
If others are to follow this example and to shed their blood for saving others, they will become suicide bombers.

All scriptures incl BIBLE are outdated and antique. content if interpreted in positive way , has some utility or else they are simply to ignored. it's time for globalisation, mega mergers and management. the scriptures are like computer languages, to be discarded as later version is found better in all respect. if any religion does not update from the Internet , it is as bad being dead and nobody likes to deal with a obsolete language. let's talk possible mega merger of all major religions of the world. there are good as well as bad elements in all the major and minor religions . we must admire the best and discard the rest.

the blood that the people talked about was the red wine that he used to drink with his friends,and how happy they felt after they were tipsy from the wine.that was his way to describe how it would be to follow him,always a little intoxicated by the holy spirit and happy
do not let the christians confuse you by telling you it is only through faith Jesus talked in parrabelles,to make it better to understand. modern christians talk in confusion and call it faith

The shedding of blood is another name for death. By subjecting a man to death, one who should not have been worthy of death, God showed that it was death and sin and its father, evil, that created an injustice. Now God, being the principle and reality of justice, had to raise Christ from death, and so too, all those that live and die in him. A perfect plan of salvation.
