To all Christians. You believe that Jesus was Crucified and also that he is the savior?

If Jesus was unable to save himself from the Cross then how he can be a savior for others?

    Huh? Why would Jesus "save" Himself from the cross? He went to the cross to pay OUR debts because He loves us. He knew it was the only way we would have eternal life.

    John 15:13

    Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

    Bulls had to be sacrificed again and again lower back with the aid of fact they weren't organic. Jesus volunteered to go away heaven and are available to earth understanding that He might go through a great deal as a guy to be the main suitable sacrifice for sin. The bull had no selection interior the undertaking and replaced into no longer organic Jesus had a decision and replaced into organic so as that no blood might ever lower back must be shed for the remission of sins Why ought to we no longer worship a God that should try this for us?

    He could have done anything. The fact is He CHOSE to be our sacrifice. Before Him people had to constantly bring animal sacrifices to God for a sin covering, but it was not enough! The Son of God had to come to atone for our sin debt. He has to do this so that He could descend to into the pit of hell and take back what the devil stole. He was able to ascend three days later because He had been sinless and defeated sin, the devil, and hell! Because He did this we can have the opportunity to also go to heaven because He made a way for us. That is if we confess our sins and believe in His finished work on the cross!

    This crucifixion you refer to was a part of God's plan from long before Jesus walked the Earth as the Christ. It wasn't a mistake that he was crucified, and it was no mistake that he was resurrected.

    My version: He demonstrated his faith and was setting an example for all of mankind in an attempt to save their souls. He didn't feel the need to save himself because he was attempting to save all others. That is how much he loved us. More than life itself.

    Have you ever read Jesus' words at John 10:15?

    "I surrender my soul in behalf of the sheep."

    Surrender.

    That means he could have saved himself, but purposefully chose not to.

    Why?

    To provide a basis upon which mankind could be saved from sin & death.

    He was able to save Himself from being crucified. He chose to allow Himself to be murdered.

    Jesus could have left the cross or not come at all. He suffered to save us, because it was the only Way we could be made righteous and saved. I praise Him for his mercy and love for us!

    just as jonah was three day in the belly of a fish so shall the son of God be in the grave three days and be risen, the tomb is empty he has risen,he is our preist forever, receiving the offer pof life 1 john 5:11,13 he had do die to take away the sins of the whole world and be barried to prove death and then be rise to life so we could be raised to life, because we are all born into this world dead spiritualy thanks to adam romans 5:12 if we remain dead spiritualy we will be cast into outer darkness forever.

    There never was a cross. Remember you are dealing with unicorns. The cross was not accepted into the Christian Faith until the second council of Niceae and that was 700 years after Jesus was placed on a "torture stake." Whether or not he actually died there is up for grabs. There is in fact documented evidence that the Catholic church is aware of, that indicates he was pulled down from the Cross and escaped back into Egypt. (Read 'The Jesus Papers.")

    So the simple fact of the matter is that Jesus may have very well saved himself.
