There would still be Christianity even if Jesus had not died on the cross. There was still Christianity BEFORE Jesus was crucified. Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

What did Jesus say to the roman soldier who pierced him?

Nothing, Jesus was dead. That is why he was pierced. If he had been alive they would have broken his legs and thus scripture that stated not a bone would be broken would not have been fulfilled.

Which apostle was crucified upside down?

A:Christian tradition holds that the apostle Peter was crucified in Rome upside down, although there is no firm evidence of this event. Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware that he had even visited Rome and was certainly unaware that he had been executed. Although by omission, Clement provides the most reliable and timely information on the fate of Peter, which suggests he was not crucified, either upside down or in the normal way. The first known mention of the execution of St. Peter was made by the second-century Pope Anicetus who, wishing to demonstrate that he spoke with the authority of Peter, reported that Peter had been beheaded in Rome. A century later, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down.From a Roman point of view, it would have been unthinkable that they would grant a condemned criminal's wish to die in one way rather than another. If he had been sentenced to die by crucifixion, Peter could not have been permitted to negotiate any change to that sentence. Also, if the Romans decided to crucify someone, they would want him to die in the most agonising way possible, which would be by hanging downwards from his arms until he gradually and agonisingly suffocated.

Extremely different. It is one of the big differences between the two religions. In Christianity, Jesus is the Messiah, the savior. From the Jewish perspective, Jesus may or may not have lived but at most, he would have been a false prophet. Jesus plays absolutely no role in Judaism.

How old was Mary when Jesus was Crucified?

You can estimate her age from Scripture. She was a virgin when Jesus was conceived in her - probably a girl well under 20 years old. And Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his ministry which he continued for about 3 years until he was crucified. So Mary would have been about 50 years old then. There is no definite age for her in Scripture.


What does the phrase You are crucified with Christ nevertheless you live yet not you but Christ liveth in you means?

In the book of Galatians, chapter 2 verse 20, Paul writes; "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives within me." Paul is telling the people in the Church in Galatia that since he has accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, Christs being crucified was for Paul's sins. (Ours too) Those of us that believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died to cleanse us of our sins, well our sins have been crucified with Jesus on the cross. So in a sense, we have been crucified with Christ. Our sins were taken upon Jesus. In regards to the "I no longer live, but Christ lives within me." Paul is saying that his old life or old ways are dead to him. He now has Jesus in his heart and that his life is lived according to Jesus. Jesus is in charge of his life. Jesus is in my life too. This doesn't mean that I or Paul are perfect. By no means. But since we have Christ in our lives, we strive to live out our lives as Jesus would have us.
