why was Jesus crcified by the government and religious leaders?

Question

its a social studies plz dont start ranting about religion,im just trying to finish some homework

Answer 1

Because he stirred up civil unrest with his off the wall (as far as the authorities at the time were concerned) ideas.

Answer 2

For school homework. Well, I guess I don't know the true answer then. I mean a lot of these things are open to interpretation. It depends if its viewed from a religious point of view or political point of view. Before I say anything let me give you my disclaimer. I'm not expert at this but maybe what I say here may lead others to contribute or at least give you a starting point.

#1 From the religious point of view then he was simply meant to. It was part of the greater plan. I supposed that our religious friends can give more details on this aspect with actual passages and what not.

#2 From a political view but from the jewish priesthood at the time then it is believe that Jesus teachings was treatening the established churched. If someone says they are the savior and they are gathering a big following then they are a treat to your bussinness. So, it was to the convinience of the priest (rabis or whatever their proper title is at the time) to get rid of the person that would eventually or posibly kick him out of a job. By the same token difference in belief system or disagreement in what exactly defines a faith can also get you kill. I wouldn't be surprice if they turn him in because they disagree in doctrine and practice with him. I mean it is still happening in this day an age.

#3 Another possible explanation is that people where waiting for a mesiah. What the Jews of that time where waiting for was a special someone that would free them from the romans. Then this guy comes along and claim to be the messiah. You can then see that various preocupations can arise. #1 is that people may had feared an uprising that would eventually lead to a war that may be very bloody. There is also the thing about people dealing directly with the romans. So, if there was a war or a separation then these people would loose their status at the time. Meaning they would end up poor and powerless.

#4 A lot of people where dissapointed with Jesus because people where expecting a liberator not a philosopher. People where expecting a warrior, a leader that would get rid of the romans by force. Jesus was all about love. Not a very popular view. Even now a days a lot of people prefer to drop bomb at the drop of a hat than diplomacy and patients.

#5 From the roman side, I think rome was having a bit of a problem in that region. They figure that they better apieced them somehow. So, they did the judging. I guess the idea was to set someone free to show the kindness of the empire. Well, not really kindness. The romans where bastards with their conquered people. It was more like diplomacy. Remember that JEsus was supposed to be the messia but such a person is supposed to free the Jews from the Romans. The logical reasoning is that if you are a messiah then you must be against the empire. So, they killed him.

All that I just said is pretty much speculative. I'm pretty sure the main ideas are there but all the details are not all right. To summarized the main ideas are that #1 he was not the type of messiah they expected because he was not a man of war. #2 claiming to be the messiah went against the establish religion (jewish version of that time) and the established power which where the romans.

Answer 3

Because just as today, when One speaks the Truths about Love and Freedom, it causes a following of people who FINALLY realize just How independant they can be without the government or religions.

So a person like Jesus, threatens the leaders controll over the crowd who slave.

A person like Jesus was killed many times over, and still would be killed , so that the Greed of controll upon the people can still be maintained.

Unfortunate and very primitive culture.

Answer 4

been one of those mysteries to me for years, the laws of Rome would have had Jesus killed in the Arena for blasphemy of the gods, for insulting the rule of the emperor. Crucifixion was for crimes that were seen as civil disturbance and for attacking Roman troops in any way. incidentally how was a robber put on the cross as well. the punishment for such crimes as theft was to be tied in a sack and thrown in a river. Jewish laws had stoning as punishment for blasphemy. so either the bible has not told us what really happened did Jesus when he was questioned by the Romans say something that they saw as a threat to the emperors army. My question is what the robber really was found guilty of. its been worrying me for years really, since i have read the punishments of Rome anyway.

Answer 5

He claimed that he was the son of God, so they called that fraud or perhaps blasfimy, and the punishment for such is a beating of 40 lashes, but they usually give 39 just to be safe. Then they pushed the government to crusify him.

Answer 6

Jesus publicly advocated for change. He believed change started in the heart and worked its way out into the larger society. He wasn't interested in creating a political revolution, but He was very interested in creating renewal and revival. He harshly confronted the religious leaders who were, in union terms, in bed with the management. The status quo was very frightened of Him. People went out to hear Him speak by the thousands. People were tired to death of Roman oppression and were actively looking for a kingly Messiah to break the yoke of Rome from over them. He could easily have started an uprising (but He didn't). I have read, and I can't verify since I only know a little Greek, that the terms "risen Messiah" and "Messianic uprising" were so closely similar in Greek that one could almost be used for the other. He frightened the people in power. They killed Him to "keep peace" in Judea, an unstable little conquered satellite of the Roman Empire.

Answer 7

Heresy
