why christ should die for our sins?
149103
The concept of someone dying for our sins goes against all the principles that God has laid on earth for us.  It throws the idea of accountability out the window.  If he truly died for our sins, then there shouldn't be anymore sin.  But the fact is, the world is more corrupt now than ever before.\n\nAlso, after he supposedly died on the cross, he allegedly rose from the dead.  Doesn't that nullify his death and thus nullify the sacrifice??  He's no longer dead, so my sins are no longer washed (that's assuming the concept hold to begin with).\n\nIt doesn't add up.  One day we will all face God and we will be held accountable for every little deed, good or bad.  God will ask Jesus whether he instructed people to worship him, and Jesus will say 'no'.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

It is God's character to be sinless.  He cannot sin or else He would not be God.  The reason that Christ died on the cross was for our sins.  He was the perfect sacrifice.  No one else was, or could ever be, a sacrifice for our sins because everyone one else has a sinful nature.  God is quick to forgive us because He keeps all His promises.  He tells us, for example, in John 1:9 that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.  The Bible also tells us that He is not willing that any of us should perish.  We can truly be eternally thankful that He does just what He says He will do--He keeps all His promises to us.

My answer: Jesus died for my sins and gave me his free gift of salvation and eternal life. I accept that gift and choose to live my life for him. Even though my life isn't worth much it's all he asks of me. What an amazing God!!!\nP.s i'm sorry you seem to be such an angry person, gino ggg.\n    couple 2430 - you can't EARN your way into heaven' it's a free gift\n     donkey - being a nice person won't get you there!

Jesus Christ's death on the cross for our sins. He paid the price for my sins and yours. He defeated death and opened the gates of heaven for all of us. That's how much He loves us!

i'm thinking no. christianity is founded on the belief that jesus died for our sins, and he was god's one and only son.

Please look at   \nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org \nfor a better understanding of why we dont believe in Jesus at all!\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The Christian idea of the messiah is that he is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and cry mightily unto Gd; yea, let \nthem turn every one from his evil way, and \nfrom the violence that is in their hands. Who \ncan

we have all sinned, and therefore all deserve to go to hell.  but that is the beauty of christianity, that it is no doing of your own to go to heven accept for accepting Christ as your lord and saviour.  it is that simple...so whether it is sexual sin, or stealing, or lieing, we have all sinned, and are there for in the same till we ask Christ into our lives...it is that simple.

Establish The Need!\n"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 "The wages of sin is death" Rom 6:23 a. \nMan was created for fellowship with God and sin blocked that fellowship. Death resulted.\n\nHowever, God planned for this, even before creation and provided a way to reestablish the fellowship and give us life. To continue Rom 6:23 "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the LORD."\n\nThis salvation is for everyone. John 3:16 says "For God so the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes on His should not perish (die) but have eternal life (be saved).\n\nThe need of salvation must be seen as repentance is necessary.\n\nOK, so what do myou do?\n1) See you are a sinner need and to repent,\n2) Realise that there is only one way to be saved,\n3) Repent, ask God for forgiveness, acknowledge Jesus as your saviour and Lord.\n\nYou'r saved!

I like you to. and God does too. He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we may live with Him in His Kingdom.

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)

That is a foundational belief of Christianity.  So Jesus wouldn't have died on the cross for our sins.  Then there would have been no resurrection from the dead.\n\nSo, the whole thing would have been vanity.\n\nThe old testament law applied to the covenant between God and Israel.  The new testament Grace & Truth opened up salvation to all nations & peoples who call on His name.\n\nSo we would be in the nations not restored unto God, like before Christ.

No. You destroy yourself....as we all do or have done at some point or another in our lives. We consciously sin or chose not to sin.If you don't like the word sin...you make either good or bad choices in life....cause and effect/for every action there is a reaction.... In the Christian faith, when we sin, we alienate(separate) ourselves from God...a spiritual death of sorts...total separation from God; which is Hell in every sense of the word. It is only through Christ's innoccent blood shed on the cross for all of mankind, through His DEATH, that we have LIFE.  Why would a loving God want to destroy any of His creation?...We destroy ourselves through our rejection of God and our acceptance of sin.

As long as we sincerely repent to HIM for our sins, and never do them again, we will be forgiven. We must also correct, if possible, what was done wrong, "pay a debt, return an item, tell the truth, etc." Jesus died on the cross for us. He took every sin we could do, upon his shoulders and paid the price. The least we could do is acknowledge our wrong doing and never repeat it.

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."

Because it's in our nature to commit sins.

Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die.

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.
