Do you believe that JESUS CHRIST died on the cross to pay our sin debt to GOD?

Yes. \nAnd those of you that don't should too - If I'm wrong, and you're right, no harm no foul, we all found our way home - BUT, if I'm right and you're wrong, then you've got all of eternity to regret your decision.

when Christ died he took on the sins of every person, even those who were not born yet. He could do this bcos He was God and knew every person before they were born.\nIt's kinda like when Abraham offered a sacrifice for himself and all his descendants. He could offer a sacrifice for his descendants bcos they were in him. (his son was in him, and his sons were in him, etc.) So, when Christ died for those living at that time, we were included bcos we are their descendants and "inside" them.\nI hope this helps.

I believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He came from heaven to earth to show me the way, from the earth to the cross my debt repaid, from the cross to the grave, and the grave to the sky!\nForever He lives on High!

No where in the Bible does it mention Christ being hung on a cross.  The scriptures refer to it as a stake.  As well, in the Ten Commandments as well as numerous other scriptures, we are directed not to use items of veneration or idols in our worship of God.  Therefore, the cross, being an idol, would not be used in worship.  As well, if Christ was hung on a cross, would it be right to worship the item used to put him to death?

YES! He saved us from our sins by dying on the cross for us. His sacrifice allows us to be forgiven.

because we all sin we all deserve hell but god sent his son to die for us and take the pain of our sin so all we have to do is ask for fogiveness and to believe in him and to know that it is our fault he had to die on the cross (he did all this because he loves us)

If someone pays my fine, even if I do not like that person, then the government can no longer demand payment from me.  If Jesus paid my debt, then God can no longer demand it from me.  How could God still punish sinners after Jesus died for us all\n\nThe Bible says that Jesus was a ransom sacrifice who died to set us free (Mark 10:45).  Is this ransom paid to God or to the Devil?  If to God, then why did God kill his own son to set us free when he could have just set us free and keep his son?  If the ransom was paid to the devil, then how could the devil be on such great bargaining terms with God to demand his very son?\n\n\nThe question arises that Can't God just forgive Christians and not have to kill Jesus? \n\n\nthe expected answers will be here i.e. "love , love, because of love".... \n\nhow about this love of God ...\n"O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?- Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together." (QURAN 82:6-8)\n["Say: "O my Servants who have excessively wronged their own souls, despair not of God's Mercy: for God forgives all sins for He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.\nTurn to your Lord (for forgiveness) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that you shall not be helped." (Quran 39:53-54.)]\n\n(QURAN 85.14) "He ( Allah ) is the Forgiving, the Loving, And He is the Oft-Forgiving Full of loving-kindness"\n\nonly Islam has solutions for the problems raised above.\n\nAllah knows best

It is hard to overcome old habits, but you must 1st realize Jesus paid the whole sin debt for all mankind over 2,000 yrs ago. That was long before any of us were born. So did He only pay for your sins up to the time you got saved, and now it is up to you to keep track of your sins & be sure you don't leave any out when you pray, or you'll go to Hell? Jesus paid it all, Brother, and God is smart enough to not leave any part of our salvation in our hands, or we'd sure lose it. Paul wrote, "I know in Whom I have believed, and am pursuaded that He(Not me or you)He is able to keep that which I have comitted unto Him against that day." He took it out of our control, because Jesus did it all for us. He was sinless & died in our place, so He could Impute His Righteousness unto us(we have none, ours is as filthy rags)That when God sees us, He sees the Righteousness\nof Jesus in us. We are Made Acceptable in The Beloved Son, and He is our Only Hope of Salvation. Not by works, but by His Grace, so we have nothing to brag about, but what Jesus did for us as our Substitute.  God Bless, Pastor B.

The Old Testament sacrifices were a 'type' of Christ. Think of them as a credit card for sin. Jesus was the actual payment. And that payment is good for all people throughout time.

33. mary is just his mother, so no. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...

You are a victim of injustice. But, you are in good company. Christ was killed on false charges of sedition.

He died so we wouldn't face eternal damnation for our sins. He was a sinless being who accpted his fate so that the rest of man could have everlasting life. What a sacrifice, I appreciate it every day.

God is Just and cannot change. The wages of sin is death and Jesus has died for his people (shed His blood). That sacrifice is acceptable to God as payment for all our sin (even sin we will still commit) Because God is just He can no longer hold our sin against us if Christ has paid for them. Be careful you don't view this as an excuse to sin. Romans teaches us those who think this way are not saved or forgiven. Those n Christ will try to please Him.

Yes, you're right. Jesus death is the most important thing. And he did it - free of charge.  Which begs the question - why do people pay for it? Acts 15:11 "But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."  Just believe that he died to save you from your sins, and you will be saved - purgatory/masses etc are creations of man. They are nowhere found to be in the Bible - "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.... The reason why he died on the cross was for our sins so that we could go to heaven with him cause he love's us very much and now we can have everlasting life with him in heaven...

Yes indeed.I was studying these issues myself.Here's my conviction.Justification is only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and it is once and for all.Let God be true and man a liar.The transaction is done once and for all.The seal is done and no one can steal it from Christ.However,if you read the book of Revelation along with Daniel you will see that in the white throne judgement the believers in Christ and those who have rejected Christ will be separated by Christ himself like sheep is separated from goats.Which is a very sad thing and that is the reason why we Christians are supposed to be the salt of  the earth and light.So we (The believers in Christ )escape the final judgement.But all is not over.Now starts the judgement of the believers---do we enter heaven with honour or in dishonour?That is question we all need to ask now.Imagine living the rest of our lives in dishonour.Do we have any crowns to lay at His feet as our worship in eternity or not ,or shall we go empty handed standing before the Lord,with our heads hanging in shame???That is why Paul refers our life on earth like that of an athelete---breasting the tape alone will not determine our award but whether we are following the rules applicable;if an athelete does not follow rules of the race then imagine after running the race and comming 1st only to be told publicly he is disqualified for the award.That is very sad indeed!!!There are many more illustrations from every day life given in the Bible from which we all can understand simply.I believe God did not give His Word to us to keep it as a secret,his love for mankind was made a public spectacle when Christ gave his life on the cross willingly (and yet the world rejects it so much tragecally!!)so that you and I and all those who believe may not perish but have everlasting life.We are now co-heirs with Christ, therefore we inherit the Kingdom of heaven, not because of our deeds but by the act of Christ on the Cross.He gave us the authority to His children therefore we will live with him in heaven after our life on earth is over.Capture the image of the scene of the rupture!!!Oh! Death where is your sting!!!It is so powerful.He loves people His creation that he does not want even one to perish but it is we who reject His salvation for mankind.Jesus is a thorough gentleman, he never forces His way into anyone's life.His love is for the asking only.His heart is to preserve. I love The Word of God because it is so alive and speaking to me even in this decade.I also trust that  even as you seek the many question if you seek with all your heart He shall reveal it and The Truth shall set you free indeed.So the bottom line is whether we will enter heaven in honour or in shame?Amen.
