How true is it that Jesus died for my sins?

I'm a new convert, but right now I'm finding it difficult that somebody could die for my sins...hard to believe.

You can be of help if you know of any convincing answers.

You call yourself a sinner not him, once you accept his work on the cross, he sees you as holy and unblamable irrespective of what you do .

if I accept him, even when I fvck a lady, I haven't 'sinned' abi? The question is, why do we still have sinners when somebody already died for our sins?

Convert from which religion? If Islam, NO BLAME.

All you need to do is believe in God and philosophically understand Bible then with faith and supernatural thinking you'll catch up and your belief will be strong.

He is not human like us so he can die for our sins.

OF COURSE HE DID.

Op see it like this:
Yahweh condemn you even though u were not born yet because some mythical adam and his rib turned wif eve ate an apple because a talking snake told them to.

Then instead of just forgive them he didn't, he sent his son to be murdered and tortured sacrificed to him so he can forgive you a sin that you have not committed yet knowing that you were not born yet but will still throw you in hell if you do..

Take a rest, your struggles and worries has been seen by us in Mars, so I was sent to advice you to take a rest. That apart, I've read a lot on Christianity, yet haven't lost my faith. Wonder how you lost yours? Just continue being an atheist, because instead of remaining an atheist after losing your Faith, you instead chose the ignoble route of blasphemy, even the name of the LORD, knowing full well there is no forgiveness. All I have for you is pity. You've turned your brain to the surest way of knowledge, thinking yourself to be very wise, reading articles without reading the counter because it has all YOU wish to know.

Waoh! Why don't u be an atheist and stop attacking the Christians?
Stop attacking what u don't believe in, unless u are FAKE.....
I don't believe in the Yoruba gods(e.g Sango, Ogun) does not mean they never existed...
That's their belief...
Stop hating.... Stop attacking Christ.

We are here to discuss what we used to believe.. If any worshipper of yoruba gods comes up we will discuss it smiley

Is your religion afraid of intellectual scrutinization and truth? wink
So calling a spade a spade is an attack? ...(lolzz...I don't attack you, i only discuss the christian, islam and any other absurd belief i want to discuss. That you are emotionally sentimental towards it is your own cup of tea.)
If you really want me to stop, why dont you pray for me to stop smiley

actually we enjoy it when folks get frustrated over the absurdities they believe in just like you are getting now.

Why don't you muster up a very good defence for you belief and stop attacking the person. If you can bring up a good defence then we will have a very nice educating discussion, lets see how plausible, legitimate and the constructive fundamentals of your beliefs...smiley

After reading the free encyclopedia on YHWH, which I consider the greatest assault on Christianity, I did not lose my faith because I being sure there must be God, yet cannot be any of the other religion, I went on a search to know if it true, instead of it being a reason to turn away from Him, it rather became a proof of Him. Just study the tone the wikipedia use as regard YHWH and that which it used in that of Allah. You will notice that of Allah is the normal way Wikipedia discusses, taking from those for and against, but a shift to YHWH and the tone changes, no single opposition was granted and all was against God. Hope you'll read both because I know it is pivotal to your Faith. One then begs to think if it is the same God whose NAME is too holy to be written. I know its off point but will make a good discussion, willing to help you back to Christianity. As for op, I'll copy someone's post and reply as soon as I find it.

@op, provided your question is of good motive cos I don't think your post adds up. It is like unto a Man man that boards a car, and offers to pay the fare of everyone in the car. It is to you to accept His offer and your debt paid by Him or reject and pay for it yourself. Hope you understand?

This ^^^ was a simple round up of Christianity and rather than addressing the OP's question, you guys started accussing poor old Johny for "attacking" your faith.

Sounds like you're embarrassed of what you believe in :/

The mistake in your post is that hell is not eternal!
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Christ's atonement on the cross was a limited one. If Christ died for all everybody will be saved for his shed blood through death is the propitiation for our sins.

Am afraid op you only had a false conversion.

You cannot get saved without the knowledge of His death,burial and resurrection. The power that lies in knowing this is what will change your mind for ever.

The bible does not teach salvation for every man that ever lived or will ever live. It talks about a saviour who came to this world to redeem those he had chosen as His from the beginning in Him not on the grounds of anything that they have done or their merits but based on his sovereign election. That's why you see analogies like the shepherd only dying for his sheep.

OP... continue to read the word of God, the Bible... and believe its entire content, because its entire content is true.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
