TweetI saw that movie a while ago, but I do think it was pretty accurateaccording to the Bible. Your first question is really open to interpretation. Not all the Jews believed in Jesus - and the Pharisees ( the religious leaders) saw him as a threat to their authority. They spoke out against him and labelled him a false prophet, a blasphemer and a trouble maker.

Those Jews outside that group may have wanted to see evidence of his Deity, and so encouraged the torture and cricifiction. They wanted to see him save himself. Christ could not give in to this temptation because it was his mission to endure suffering and take on the sins of the world through his innocent death. By taking on the sins of the world (or repentant believers), this allowed them to be worthy of eternity in Heaven after death.

You second question is easy - there was not Roman Catholic church at that time. There was only Rome, and they worshipped many gods (you've probably heard of Mars, Janus, Bacchus, Apollo, etc.) It was not until the Emporer Constantine saw a vision of a cross in the clouds during battle that he converted to Christianity, and made it the official religion of the "Holy Roman Empire."

TweetThe Jews saw Jesus as a blasphemous heretic that was going to end up causing them grief from the Romans. He claimed an intimate relationship with the Father, and rejected the Roman ideology.
Testify nailed it on the Catholic Church, it wasn't formed til some time after Christ's death.

TweetAs i understand it, Jesus had the opportunity to change his fate. Either denounce he is "King of the Jews" the great Messiah or say he isn't. He chose not to. So by the name of Cesar to Pontius Pilot he was condemed to crusifixion. Actually Roman Catholicism didnt start untill later. The Jews were merely pegans that stood behind him, and really didn't have any say in the matter. Even if they did and vocalized it, they prob would have been hanged or something.

TweetJesus was God's son. Jesus was God in flesh. Other than His birth, Easter is the bedrock of Christianity. By His death and resurrection (Easter), we move out from under the Law (Old Testament), to the Grace of God being what saves us from death--His grace being the fact that He sent His only Son to die for us and our sins. Jesus died (figuratively, as He rose from the dead, leaving the tomb) to bear the sins of all mankind, and "die" our deaths for us. In the apostle's creed, there is a controversial line that is often removed:

The Apostle's Creed:

I believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker of Heaven and Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontious Pilot,
Was crucified, dead, and buried (==frequently left out is "and descended into hell).
The third day He arose from the grave,
He ascended into Heaven,
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgivenss of sins, the resurrection of the Body, and the life everlasting, Amen.

this section that is often omitted is how Jesus paid the price for all of us. How have you thanked Him lately?

FUZO, Jesus was tortured by the Jews though he was Jewish since the Jews thought that his teaching was a blasphemy to God. Jesus was saying that He was the Son of God and He was forgiving the sins of the people, healing them on Sabbaths and doing other things which the Jews couldn;t accept. They had their image of a Messaih which was wrong and not what God was.

There were NO Roman Catholics at that time. The Catholics appeared several centuries after Jesus died. They were a stream of christianity.
