Jesus died because he was murdered.. our "sins" had nothing to do with it, the christian faith has imposed that little sentiment.\n\nJesus was just a man with a strong conviction.

A good question! \n\nI expect you'll get a lot of the "free will" answers, but what about in Heaven, after death? Will we still have free will there, or will be be "robots"? If we have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we can sin while we're in Heaven? If we don't have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we will then be "robots" for eternity? And if we can be "robots" there, then, why not here, now?

Some will call this a contradiction.  It is not.\nJesus says that God forgives all sins, but one (though I believe it is two).  The one Jesus references is to sin against the Holy Spirit, which is God.  I also believe suicide is unforgivable, as you are murdering and cannot ask forgiveness for it.\n\nPeter says that through Christ, you can be forgiven things that Moses' law could not forgive.  Tell me where Moses' law talks about sinning against the Holy Spirit.  It does not.\n\nClear?  You have to read the words...not the footnotes or interpretations.

Why Jesus died for our sins: (With scriptural references)\n\nDo not allow yourself to be mistaught by the hypocritical church leaders of our day, God is a lover of justice (Psalm 37:28) You mentioned in your question that God would kill all human life unless his son dies for sinners. I ask, please, that you would read the scriptures in this answer, so that you can better understand my answer.\n\nAdam and Eve, the parents of all mankind were created perfect, as all of God's creations are. However, God gave Adam, as well as all mankind, free will: the ability to chose for ourselves whether we want to do good or bad. God wanted mankind to serve him not because they were programmed to do so, but because they love him. Our lives are not pre-programmed like some churches teach, but Deuteronomy 30:19 disproves. In the Bible book of Genesis, chapter 2 and verses 16, 17 God told Adam not to eat from a certain tree in the paradise garden home. That tree was to stand as a symbol of God's severignty, or right to make laws for his creation. Adam and his wife Eve rebelled against God, chosing to listen to Satan rather than God. God had previously told Adam that death would overtake them should they eat from the tree. Adam knew what he was doing when he ate from the tree. Even though he was created perfect, he used his free will to disobey God. He wanted to do things his own way. \nSo where does Jesus come into play? After Adam sinned, he was no longer a perfect person. The word 'sin' means to miss a mark, in this case Adam missed the mark of perfection. Adam was now a sinner. The bible states that sin is what causes death (Romans 6:23) That is why humankind dies today, because since Adam is the forefather of everyone alive, we've inherited the sin and death from him, just as Romans 5:12, and Psalm 49:7 show. \nLike I mentioned earlier, God is a lover of justice. He could not simply pardon the rebellion as if nothing had happened. That would undermind his sovereignty. At the same time, he would not destroy Adam and Eve. He had asked them to fill the earth with their offspring and that would defeat his purpose. Being a God of perfect justice, the price paid for Adam's sin had to equal what was lost: perfect human life. But since all mankind were all sinners how could this be accomplished?\nAdam lost perfect life by sinning. Jesus bought that back with his life by remaining obedient until death. Satan believed that he could get any perfect person to turn away from God. He was able to get Adam. Jesus never gave into the Devil, even though it meant giving up his life to remain obedient to God, something Adam didn't do. Therefore, through the sin of Adam everyone is dying, however, through the act of obedience of Jesus, those exercising faith in him can have what Adam lost: perfect human life. Romans 5:18, 19; John 3:16\nJesus loves his Father very much and was pleased to do this. By remaining faithful to death, Jesus proved that it was possible to remain faithful to God under trail (Matthew 4:1-11) After Jesus death and resurrection, his Father appointed him to an even higher position than he had held before (Matthew 28:18)\nIn order to benefit from what Jesus did, we have to remain obedient to God and do what he asks, an refrain from doing what pleases ourself like Adam did. Jesus set the model for us to walk in this regard (Romans 15:3)

God bless you

1) All of us\n\n2) We are born with the sinful nature, and we can't get rid of our sins alone. God cannot be in the presence of sins, so therefore we couldn't be with Him when we die. God's way to cleanse our sins is by blood, and Jesus who lived a perfect life, died for our sins on a cross once for all. So that if we choose Him, our sins are washed away, and when we die, we will be in Heaven with Jesus.\n\n3)Yes, but what He did, He proclaimed that He was God's Son, making Him equal with God, and they considered it blasphemy, even though He was telling the truth.\n\n4) The high priests said Jesus considered Himself equal to God, and that was blasphemy to them, and the penalty for blasphemy is death, so technically yes, but He still died for all of us.\n\n5) See Above

my interpretation of this verse has to do with sin.  If you repent this sin on earth, it will be forgiven in heaven.

You've got it mixed up. This is the actual scripture:\n\nFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\n\nNowhere does it say God killed Jesus.\n\nGod gave his Son to the people to show His eternal Love for us. \n\nThe misguided people killed Jesus.

Not Sure\n\nFirst 12 Appointed Apostle will rule of Israel in Rev.  Jesus Christ Appointed = Judas was one of them\n\n2nd  In the bible suicide does not mean you will go to Hell, it only says you MAY  = May can mean May Not\n\n******\nJudas did repent, He did take the money back, but had guilt, how many people doyou know today that  are eat up with guilt?\n\n3rd  Someone had to betray Jesus, Do you think this was a example Jesus set on us, we are all sinner and weak, even if we do live for God and do our best ( we still sin), we are human also?

I'd like to add to your question.  The fact the Jesus (peace be upon him) was supposedly resurrected, doesn't that negate the fact that he died ??  I mean, if he's alive in Heaven, then he is not really dead for our sins.  I'm confused...

Maybe Paul was mistaken into believing this.\nJesus died too, so his death could not have been due to his sins.\nCertainly Paula nee Saul, himself died so, he must have died due to his sins according to his belief.\nIf christians believe in this Generally ( the born agains are claiming exceptions, as they now claim to be saints.)\nThis is certainly a paradox for the christians to sort out.\nThe very reason is,that every time a christian die,then he dies a sinner.\nAccording to this verse , only the  SINLESS would live forever, and none, including Jesus, the Prophet of Nazareth (AS)himself have so far escaped death.\nMuslims reject this belief.

God's grace is sufficient! He loves us so much that he gave His son to die for our sins...past, present, and future. We recognize that we have sinned, ask Him to come into our lives and that we want to follow him, and we are reborn! New creatures in Christ. Sometimes we waiver and take a few steps back, but when we reach out to Him, miraculous things happen! Thanks for posting article.

Thank you for letting me answer your question.\n\nActually your question can be actually made of (2) separate questions. I'll be brief, but percise.\n1. What does it mean that Jesus sacrificed himself?  \n   A: The bible speaks about Jesus became sin for the purpose of an exchange. He became or took our sin for the purpose of giving all humans a right to forgiveness and everlasting life with God in heaven. \nSo the sacrifice portion as the bible explains kicked in when Jesus, the Son of God lived a life on earth as a man never to have committed any sin, but accepted all sin to death for all humans. The ultimate sacrifice done completely out of love.  \n\n2. Committing sins and going to heaven?\nBelieving that Jesus is the Son of God, Died on the Cross, and Rose from the grave allows those that believe on those (3)things to have a right to ask for forgiveness. All people commit some form of sin, but the truth about sinning comes from the intension of from the heart concerning sinning. \n\nA true believer is not trying to find ways to do immoral actions. \n\nIts encouraged that any person who believes to ask for forgiveness anytime/all the time when you feel something didn't line up with what you believe to be unpleasant before God. The key that many miss is that God loves you. Please read Psalms 103. \n\nGod would not have gone through all the trouble of setting up/placing Jesus on earth then allow him to be sacrificed/killed and offer up eternal life/forgiveness only to strike/condem people to hell when they miss it.\nThe only time the bible does speak on not being forgiven is when a believer who has experienced God to fullness denies God to exist. That person had witnessed His mercy/LOVE/spirit/prosperity, yet when its all done they still say in their "HEART/Inner Thoughts" God doesn't exist(Hebrews 6 and 10). \nI hope this answers your question.

God's will and plans exceed the capacity of human understanding. It is possible that everyone lives forever, but the Bible does not say this. One thing is for sure, faith in Jesus's love and forgiveness WILL make your existence in this life easier, it WILL help with the burdens that come to us in this sinful world easier to bear. It WILL give you hope for a better life after this one.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

Sorry- you're not through the instruction booklet- If you acknowledge that Jesus indeed died for your sins, then certain requirements are made:  hear the word, believe the word, repent,(that's the loop-hole that gets you) and confess.  Some would add be baptised to this, but from my understanding- optional.  That would eliminate the death bed thing-

Christ's sacrifice covers past, present, and future sins. So, all sins are covered.(not sure about suicide since it shows a complete lack of trust in the Lord and only believers are saved)  The Blood of Christ is so powerful that He only had to shed it once in order to reconcile mankind to God.  And when He clothes you with righteousness, your sins are still covered though we should try to confess each and every sin we commit.  \n\nBut, as for myself, I can't remember them all.  So, I remember that since we don't know how to pray as we ought, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.  So, I just tell God that I have sinned pretty much all day long, either in thought or action, and that I can't remember them all, but He can, so will He forgive me.  Because I know that even though I don't pray properly as none of us can, the Holy Spirit will tell God in the proper way what needs to be said.(Romans 8:26)  \n\nAlso, if we are true followers of Christ, meaning that we are in Him and He in us, then we need not worry if we don't have time to confess some great sin right before we are killed.  Because there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. (John 5:24,  Romans 8:1)  \n\nAlso, remember all the people that went to Jesus to be healed?  Most of them confessed no sin at all, but Jesus said to them, "Your sins are forgiven you."  The adulterous woman that was about to be stoned to death never confessed her sin, even though she was caught in the act.  And Jesus told her that he would not condemn her.  Therefore, I believe the answer to your question is:  All of it.
