Christians why did Jesus get nailed to the cross?

Was it to save us from original sin? Like the Adam and Eve kind of sin?Christians why did Jesus get nailed to the cross?
Somewhat, it was mostly to offer mankind a means of being absolved of all sin.





God established animal sacrifice in the Mosaic Law; Jesus Christ, being God in the flesh, fulfilled the need for a blood sacrifice once and for all by paying the ultimate price.





That is why the only path to salvation is through the Christ and no other...








Most people try to define hell and sin through man-made interpretations, (i.e. I'm more good than bad).





Hell is the destination for those who reject Jesus. Once we sin we become dirty and unclean, Christ is the only means of cleansing us of our sins; therefore if we reject Christ, our contamination of sin cannot be purged from our souls; it doesn't matter if the contamination is one infintesimally small speck or unmeasureable volumes of sin.Christians why did Jesus get nailed to the cross?
There is no such thing as original sin. Babies are perfectly innocent in every way.





Jesus (I believe he was real) was probably nailed to the cross, because he was considered a heretic, which was exceedingly common in his day. He was not God; there is not a shred of evidence that any God exists.





You will not burn, because hell is not real.
First because He had to die in a sacrificial way to absolve the human race from sin as set forth in the laws of the Torah or Old Testament. Second crucifixion was a Roman standard for torture and execution at that period of time. Lastly, every one of us is doomed to damnation without the acceptance of Yeshua (Jesus) as the true and only savior and sacrifice.
Because back in the day, that's what they did to people. They nailed them to the cross. Except, Jesus was innocent, hence he didn't deserve to die up there. But, he did anyway, for our salvation.





Hopefully you get what i'm saying. I'm way to hungry to get into details.
To save us from all sin. He took on excruciating pain, including that of hell. For us. We are not responsible for Adam and Eve's sin. Yes, their sin affects us. But we did not commit their sin. However, we have enough sins already. Lust, lies, hate, envy, adultery, etc. God saved us from ourselves. From the justice we deserve (hell).





Actually, you have done something bad enough to deserve eternity in hell. So did I. Sin. A lot. A whole lot. We sin so much we couldnt keep track of them if we tried.


Although our society encourages and justifies sin, God is just. Perfect. He sees sin for what it is-disgusting, filthy, unworthy to be in Heaven. Luckily, because of Jesus, you and I have a chance.
God is Holy- He is perfect= and we are not. When we compare ourselves with someone else, we can alway find someone that is not as ';good';'; as we are. However, when we look at ourselves through the eyes of The most Holy God, then we will realize that all of us deserve hell. ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH- BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. The best person on earth is not good in the eyes of God. However, He loves us so much that He sent His son so that we could have eternal life with Him.
Here's how I see things:


Jesus had to die in a very visible, painful way because that's how humans believe. They have to SEE death and SEE resurrection before they believe.


By dying on the cross, Jesus literally took our sins and physically manifested them upon Himself. We crucified Him because we needed a sacrifice, Old Testament-style, before we truly believed we we were saved. It's sad. That's just what we humans are like, though. We need scapegoats.
You dont burn in hell because you did bad things, you go to hell because you chose not to believe in that Jesus died for you. He did it to save us from all our sins present past future. Because he did that God will forgive anything and everything we do.
Let me see if I can put it in a way that I do not confuse myself or you !! All sin boils down to disobediance, to God..... When Eve did eat of the Tree and then Adam, they opened up the door to satan and sin ...... and brought the curse upon ALL mankind, the curse boils down to sin and satan now being the god of this world !!!! Notice the small *g* ???? anyway, being that we are ALL from the line of Adam we are under that curse ... Does not seem fair, but that is the way it is..... Now, as for the *why* of the cross : Jesus was to become the King, Prince of Peace, the Savior, etc., for the Jewish People, however they did not believe He was who he said he was , so, the Gentiles were *grafted* into the mix.... So Jesus was put to death for blasphemy , from the Jewish point of veiw ! Now, from a Christians point of veiw and Gods' too I might add, Jesus bought the mortgage back from satan for us sinners..... satan owns the world, therefor owns us all, or at least thoughs who do NOT believe that Jesus, died was buried and arose from the dead..... Jesus came to fulfill the law, to be the last *lamb* of sacrifice for ALL !!!!!!!! the last blood that needed to be spilt for our sins !!! I talked of mortgage, let me explain : I am told that in Jewish tradition, if there were a mortgage on a property there were 3 requirements for some one being able to pay it off, 1. willing 2. the means 3. Kinship, not just anyone could pay it off ..... Jesus was all 3 !!! willing , able and kin !!!!! ok, I will stop here, I may have given more than you ask for...... sorry..... go in peace......... God bless
in a way


the main reason is that we wouldnt have been able to get to heaven without a huge sacrifice like he did for us . we would of have to do it ourselves. and he didnt do it just for christians but for everyone
Baron von Knifty:


Even way back then those Ancient Romans understood irony. Jesus was a carpenter, so they nailed him to wood.
To save YOU from the fires of Hell.


Each one of us is in need of a saviour because we are all born sinners. We sin because we are sinners.
He got nailed for breaking the law, and the word ';cross'; does not exist in the bible.
He didn't the nail hadn't been invented. He was spiked to the cross.
We all deserve hell. Thus the need for Jesus to go to the cross for you..

To pay for the sin of all mankind- past presnt and future, that we can go free.





';He paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt we could not pay.';
He died so you could be forgiven.
Duh....
Because duct tape had yet to be invented.

of course.
The Bible’s Viewpoint





Did Jesus Really Die on a Cross?





THE cross is one of the most recognizable religious symbols known to man. Millions revere it, considering it to be the sacred instrument on which Jesus was put to death. Roman Catholic writer and archaeologist Adolphe-Napoleon Didron stated: “The cross has received a worship similar, if not equal, to that of Christ; this sacred wood is adored almost equally with God Himself.”





Some say that the cross makes them feel closer to God when they pray. Others use it as an amulet, thinking that it protects them from evil. But should Christians use the cross as an object of veneration? Did Jesus really die on a cross? What does the Bible teach on this subject?





What Does the Cross Symbolize?





Long before the Christian era, crosses were used by the ancient Babylonians as symbols in their worship of the fertility god Tammuz. The use of the cross spread into Egypt, India, Syria, and China. Then, centuries later, the Israelites adulterated their worship of Jehovah with acts of veneration to the false god Tammuz. The Bible refers to this form of worship as a ‘detestable thing.’—Ezekiel 8:13, 14.





The Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John use the Greek word stau·ros′ when referring to the instrument of execution on which Jesus died. (Matthew 27:40; Mark 15:30; Luke 23:26) The word stau·ros′ refers to an upright pole, stake, or post. The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons, explains: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross.”





As recorded at Acts 5:30, the apostle Peter used the word xy′lon, meaning “tree,” as a synonym for stau·ros′, denoting, not a two-beamed cross, but an ordinary piece of upright timber or tree. It was not until about 300 years after Jesus’ death that some professed Christians promoted the idea that Jesus was put to death on a two-beamed cross. However, this view was based on tradition and a misuse of the Greek word stau·ros′. It is noteworthy that some ancient drawings depicting Roman executions feature a single wooden pole or tree.





“Guard Yourselves From Idols”





A more important issue for true Christians should be the propriety of venerating the instrument used to kill Jesus. Whether it was an upright single torture stake, a cross, an arrow, a lance, or a knife, should such an instrument be used in worship?





Suppose a loved one of yours was brutally murdered and the weapon was submitted to the court as evidence. Would you try to gain possession of the murder weapon, take photographs of it, and print many copies for distribution? Would you produce replicas of the weapon in various sizes? Would you then fashion some of them into jewelry? Or would you have these reproductions commercially manufactured and sold to friends and relatives to be venerated? Likely you would be repulsed at the idea! Yet, these very things have been done with the cross!





Besides, the use of the cross in worship is no different from the use of images in worship, a practice condemned in the Bible. (Exodus 20:2-5; Deuteronomy 4:25, 26) The apostle John accurately reflected the teachings of true Christianity when he admonished his fellow Christians with the words: “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) This they did even when it meant facing death in the Roman arena.





First-century Christians, however, held the sacrificial death of Christ in high esteem. Likewise today, although the instrument used to torture and kill Jesus is not to be worshipped, true Christians commemorate Jesus’ death as the means by which God provides salvation to imperfect humans. (Matthew 20:28) This superlative expression of God’s love will bring untold blessings to lovers of truth, including the prospect of everlasting life.—John 17:3; Revelation 21:3, 4.
