If Jesus died for our sins, is it not true that He earned us the possibility of getting forgiven because?

I agree with your point of view.  The question is a legal one.  Adam lost life for us and a price had to be paid so that we could get life back.\n\nThe life of the perfect man Jesus was that price. \n\nNo God does not force us to accept the provision for life made possible by his sons death.  We have free will to accept it or reject it.\n\nNo I do not think they will be forced to have it but they will be forced to know the consequences of not having it at Armageddon.

Jesus died for our sins

Jesus saved us from our sins ONLY if we are truly sorry and ask for forgiveness.  I don't believe not believing in God is a sin, but that person is a member of the LOST and therefore not a candidate for heaven.....)(

You used the word "if" in your question and that opens up the discussion to "if" 'Isa (Jesus) actually did die on the cross. In Islam there are two views on this. First that he did not die but was close to death when removed from the cross. He subsequently recovered and migrated to what is now Eastern Afghanistan. The second view is that he was smuggled out of Jerusalem by his companions and that someone else took his place to save his life.\n\nBe that as it may, what you are asking is to reconcile an irreconcileable mystery. This mystery is at the heart of many people's distrust of religion. But mystery is not something that can be answered with the rational mind. The answer only lies in the heart, as soon as we try to answer it with our mind it becomes confused and rejects. But when we ask with our heart then the way becomes clear.\n\nDo you, in your deepest part of your heart, belive that it is ok to sin? To murder? To steal? To heart other human beings? To commit adultery or fornication? No, I believe that in your heart you know the answer. If Jesus did die for our sins then God must feel that sinning is bad enough to show us unequivocally that it is so. And that we must, as God's vice-regents (from Quran) on earth, behave in a way that is without sin as much as we can.\n\nBut we are human, and as humans we will make mistakes and fall into sinning. When that happens we must remember our God and ask for God's forgiveness and turn back to the right way. If remembering the death of Jesus on the cross helps you to do that, than the purpose of that death is served.\n\nPeace and Blessings,\n\nSalim

Good question, but everyone will not go to Heaven.\nDo you think for one minute a loving, almighty God would allow His only Son to go thru such misery if there were not a choice?\nDon't you think He would have chosen another way if there had been another way to redeem mankind?\nYahshua HAD to be the lamb that was slain.  Blood had to be shed.\nWithout the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

How in the World are you asking that question of "moral man"?  \n\nGOD has a plan, and JESUS CHRIST is part of the plan...\n\nGOD knew that we would screw up, and that HE set up HIS SON, so that we might have Salvation after all our sins were forgiven.  We are a sinful race by nature, as we were given free will, and we dont do very well, with it at the moment, do we?\n\nBelieve in HIS SON, that HE died for our Sins, and you too, can be forgiven of them...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Good works won't get you into heaven. Only having faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on the cross for you and rose again will. Jesus forgave all of our sins when He died on the cross.

HOW MISIMFORMED ARE YOU HONEY... GOD SON JESUS CAN FORGIVE HES THE ONE THAT GAVE OF HIMSELF ON THE CROSS ON CALVARY FOR YOUR SINS AND FOR MINE AND FOR EVERYONES SINS... AND THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED TO HAVE FORGIVENESS BUT YOU MUST MEAN IT AND STICK WITH IT AND NOT DO THE SAME THING AND JUST EXPECT THAT YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME MISTAKE...

hmm... Jesus did not die for a religion or belief... He was the belief, the way, the Hope. He died for us, then He arose out of the grave. Therefore He is not a martyr. But he gave us something to become martyrs for... I talk in circles i know :)

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...

It was part of God's plan for the human race for Jesus Christ to die for the sins of the human race.  He was the Last Adam (the last perfect man born as Adam was created) so He was the only One qualified to die for our sins.  Fortunately for us He didn't disobey God as Adam did and He was able to do what He did or we wouldn't have the opportunity to believe in Him that He paid the penalty for our sins.

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.

it sounds like what you are saying is if Jesus was still here on earth today, would he be treated with respect or like crap as he was in his day? and would we just repeat the past and worship him after he is physically dead, now that he is not around to hold us accountable.\n\nHe would definitely be treated like crap. \n\nIf you read the gospels it is pretty clear that Jesus was nonviolent, nonresistant, compassionate and lived simply.\n\nJust look at the people who have respect and power in this world and they are the exact opposite of having Jesus' qualities. \n\nThese people go to war....for stupid reasons..which is violence(jesus was nonviolent) and yet So called christians approve of this along with capital punishment and a variety of other violent means.\n\nThese people don't turn the other cheek. (jesus was Nonresistance). Despite the teachings of turning the other cheek, do the well-respected rulers and so-called heroes in our society really turn the cheek or geniunely forgive...of course not. people who love power usually don't.\n\nAre these well-respected people compassionate? (jesus was compassionate). If they are compassionate, then how can so many people in this world let alone the wealthiest of countries still be dominated by so much poverty and homelessness. And why are there so many bitter divorces (which is also not turning the other cheek or forgiveness) and crime and corrupt leadership and so on....? \n\nAre these Heroes of ours living simply? (Jesus and his followers lived simply, knowing that possesions corrupt and giving is love).\nThis is probably the obvious of all to answer and the one that most christians and others will not be willing to do. eventhough the gospels repeatedly warn of the worshipping of mammon and lost of heavenly rewards by having these things. This is one area that is the most emphasized in the gospels and the one area that is mostly ignored,...for obvious reasons. \n\nSo, would jesus be hated and despised and treated like crap if he were here today?. absolutely...and the evidence is that the one's who are most antichristain(christian being someone who is christlike and christlike being someone who follows a life as explained above)are treated the best in our society and the one's who are most christ-like are treated inferior.\n\nAnd because of this antichristian worshipping that world socities do....they would have to take  the real christ and turn him into an idea the same way that we turn human beings into celebrrties and worship him on our terms not his. Thus making jesus invisible even while visible.

Salvation and Redemption are two different things\nHeb. 7:27, 9:12,26;10:10; 1 Pet 3:18 - Jesus died once and redeemed us all, but we participate in the application of His redemption by the way in which we live.\n\nHeb. 9:12 - Christ's sacrifice secured our redemption, but redemption is not the same thing as salvation. We participate in and hope for salvation. Our hope in salvation is a guarantee if we are faithful to Christ to the end. But if we lose hope and fail to persevere, we can lose our salvation. Thus, by our own choosing (not by God's doing), salvation is not a certainty. While many Protestant churches believe in the theology of "once saved, always saved," such a novel theory is not found in Scripture and has never been taught by the Church. \n\nRom. 5:2 - we rejoice in the "hope" (not the presumptuous certainty) of sharing the glory of God. If salvation is absolutely assured after accepting Jesus as Savior, why would Paul hope? \n\nRom. 5:5 - this "hope" does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Our hope is assured if we persevere to the end. \n\nAs God wills that all men be saved rest asssured that Satan wills all to have moral death, spiritual death for those that follow Christ and His saving teachings.

The baptism of John was for repentance, but not for the forgiveness of sins.  That wasn't available till after Jesus rose from the dead and the Holy Spirit was sent to comfort us.\n\nThey had to receive the baptism of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

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

Our sins were what Jesus died for. Also Jesus was crucified on a cross, that was done by the Romans. The Jews way would of been stoning. Give the Jews a break - they have paid plenty for anything they did with Jesus being put to death.\n\np.s. They are still God's people.
