Answer

It's slightly more complicated than the answer given above.

First, you must understand that you are here in the flesh, on probation. There was an earth eon (age) prior to this one (2nd Peter chapter 3), this one is reserved unto judgement as it is stated in 2nd Peter chapter 3 and Revelation chapter 20

Second you must understand the law according to our Father (Leviticus), there you will find that all sin is transgression against the law and that sin must be paid for. The payment is defined in the book of Leviticus. Initially animals were given as sacrifice. Animals were among a mans most prized possessions. In some cases a life had to be given to absolve the individual of specific sins. Our Father gave his only begotten son to be the sacrifice for on and all time for the sins of men. You will find a very deep and intensive study of this subject in the book of Hebrews.

Christ gave up his life so that you and I could be forgiven and start anew. Is there any man or woman among us who would do the same? With this sacrifice, Christ became earned the right of High Priest and King.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a very abbreviated summary, one would need to read some specific texts in order to get the complete picture, however this should get you started on the right foot. And remember, dont simply take my word for this, go study and verify what I have written is correct.

Answer 2

"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON FOR WHOEVER BELIVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIVE."

JOHN 3:16

Christ died for our sins. He died that we might once again return to our Father in heaven by paying with His life the sins of all mankind. It is like when you get yourself into debt and you cannot repay that debt. The penalty will be prison. But if someone comes along and pays that debt for you, you escape going to prison but owe he who has payed your debt. Though you will still have to pay off that debt, the penalty for not being able to do so will not be as dreadful as going to prison.

Answer 3

Crucifixion causes death by asphyxiation. As the condemned man tires, he is unable to raise himself on his legs and simply hangs from his arms, in a position that prevents him from breathing properly. If the Romans wanted to speed up death, they would break the condemned man's legs (as in John), so that he could no longer raise himself up to breathe.
