If it is true that Jesus died for our sins, then we are no longer responsible our wrong actions.  Right?

You are wrong, I'm sorry.  We ARE to judge actions according to the faith, and chastise our brethren when they sin.  We are never EVER to judge their heart however.  That's God's job.

Wow who came up with this, does it matter, all we need to know is that Jesus Christ came in the form of man as a sacrifice for our sins so that we can be forgiven our sins, so that we can be close to God and be saved in eternal life, we need to have a personal relationship with God, and with the way death comes knocking on peoples door at any given instantaneously moment, its best not to wait.

If we have committed our lives to God based on what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross -- then when we die, we go to be with God, to live in his presence for eternity.\n\nIf we reject the gospel of Jesus Christ (i.e., we do not commit our lives to God based on what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross) -- then we will ultimately go to the negative afterlife (where we will experience negative consequences that match the extent to which we sinned and rebelled against God and that match the extent to which we hurt others by our actions or inaction.)\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

if Jesus had not given up his life there would be no everlasting life. we would have been destroyed a long time ago. with no resurrection and no chance to to live in Gods kingdom.

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)

I think you may be looking for a specific answer here, and I'm sure I'm not going to be the one to give it. \n\nYes, God can NOT punish us for being wrong, but he also CAN punish us.  He would rather not.  [If you were a Christian believer, this is where I would tell you that Jesus died for your sins and took that punishment upon himself, but you aren't looking for a religious lecture, are you.]\n\nSo, my answer is, "Yes, God can forgive us for being wrong."  and "Yes, God can NOT punish us for being wrong."\n\n****But he also CAN punish us.****

Jesus is the one and only person who did and will ever die for our sins.  If a Christian chooses to live in sin after becoming born again (a true Christian), then they are not living the way they should.  Just because you become a Christian does not mean you will never sin again.  It means you are to turn your back on sin, do your best not to sin, and live a life that is acceptable to God.  When you do that, you will still have shortcomings...but you know that you don't have to worry about it.  You just ask for forgiveness, turn your back on that sin, and thank God for His grace.

Yes! And I thank our Lord, Jesus Christ, for dieing for my sins! Isn't it amazing that He loves us so much that He died for our sins?!\n\nI did a search on BibleGateway.com about Jesus' blood and found the links to the scripture passages below.\n\nMay you be blessed by the blood of the Lord.

Hi Rodney. Good evening/day.Very good subject! First of all, in case anyone does not know what sin is, let's define it.  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. or MKJV- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness-1John 3:4. Myself included, we need to ensure that we know what sin is so that we can be sincerely repentant and strive to not commit sins. You are correct everyone sins, that is why Jesus - the perfect Son of God who was sinless died for our sins and rose from the dead. Second, the word rapture is not in the Bible. Jesus will return to raise the dead and claim those of us who are saved. John 3:13 says  -And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. May God Bless  you.

Yes we are to blame, whether you believe in God or not, we still have the capacity to make decisions, and depending on the answers we give, the solutions we use, or the actions we take. Our contributions either have a positive effect or negative effect on others. The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) gives us guidlines that show us how to help and care for one another. Again whether one believes in God or not, we know that murder is wrong, we know that stealing is wrong, we know that doing these things will cause someone to suffer. So if we know these things will cause someone else to suffer and we still do them how can we blame God? Especially if you don't believe in him?

True, but we are not, we are still on earth and have lost a loved one, it is normal to grieve. Jesus did not chastise Mary and Martha when Lazarus died.

Of course. Just confess your sins to God, remember that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. He then arose and that act made him defeat death. So all we have to do now is confess our sins and accept that sacrifice He made for us, and ask Him to come live in us. That way he forgives us and we become a new person!

No. Not because of the act itself. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, except the rejection of Christ as your Savior. While suicide is a terrible/tragic thing, it is not unforgivable.\n\nNote: I see that there are many responses that indicate a person would "automatically" go to hell for this sin. I disagree with that. We are not saved by our actions. We are saved by grace through faith. Is God's grace nullified when we sin? No. While repentance is very important, it is NOT a means of grace. We do not "earn" forgiveness via our repentance. I'm sure that many, many Christian will die with some sin they never had a chance to repent of...that does not nullify the grace of God. \n\nAll that being said, life is a gift from God! We should use the days that He has given us wisely.

I would give up anything for Jesus. He gave everything up for us didn't he, just to save us from our sins?

Yes exactly...isn't it wonderful? He died for our sins ..which we hadn't committed because we weren't even born yet....what love...

First, no one murdered Jesus, he gave himself freely to make possible our salvation and return to our Father in Heaven. Secondly, all sins can be forgiven by a loving and forgiving God. While I do not believe as noted about that either the Jews or Romans murdered Christ. Jesus knew what was necessary and again gave himself freely in harmony with the Fathers will.\n\nI do not understand why anyone would want to blame others for the gift of salvation made possible by the life, death and resurrection of Christ. While many may say Jesus was treated poorly at the hands of his oppressors, this does not take away from His willing sacrifice for our future salvation. I do not place blame for the death of Jesus, I give thanks for his willing to die for yours and my sins.\n\nPeace be with you all,\n\n+Michael
