text: why are christians mad about the crucifiction? isn't his sacrifice the whole point of being forgiven?.?   it was the way they went about it and the reasons they use to obtain christ crucifixions that causes the uproar.  there was never a doubt that christ was born to die. nor was there any doubt that christ death would bring about the means for humanity to no longer have to sacrifices animals etc. to gain forgiveness. now they have a more direct way to ask god to for that. also remember that  christ did not seek power thru his teaching. but those that were in position of power, saw christ as a direct threat to their well being and use every trick in their book to have christ put to death by the romans. and even today they will never admit their part in christ death.
