Where in the bible?, and why are you still a sinner today if Jesus died for your sins?

If You have read the bible from Old to New Testament. You would understand why Jesus has to die for our sins. And what His death mean to those who believe in Him. First, you have to know what His death means. Before hammering on why do i still sin Today even if you have no proof that i still sin.

Jesus' death means that we have access to God.
In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

According to the bible, sin had separated us from God, but, at the moment of Christ's death, the veil in the temple, separating the priests from the presence of God, was ripped in two (Mark 15:38).

Jesus' death means that the sacrifices of the Old Testament Law are no longer needed. In previous times, various offerings were required by the Law as atonements for sin. Yet these sacrifices were only temporary. With the sacrifice of Jesus, we were provided a perfect, one-time atonement from sin (Hebrews 10:10).

Christ's dying for my sin means that i am guaranteed forgiveness of sin when i accept Jesus as Lord.

Galatians 3:22 says, "the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." Jesus purchased our salvation on the cross by becoming sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). That is, He became the guilty one on our behalf.

Salvation is by God's grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is made possible through the cross of Christ.
"Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18.
With His death, we now have direct link to God the father. No more sacrificing of animels as the Jews used to do.

Back to your question, by the grace of God. And by the blood of his son shared on the cross for my sins, i am not a sinner today as you say. I am saved by His blood.

You are comparing what ur almighty creator did to washing dirt of clothes. A whole Ur God came down from heaven to die only to achieve washing and setting. U make nonsense of the whole sacrifice when u look at it this way.

A whole​ creator decides to sacrifice himself for the sins of mankind yet the world is filled with sin like nothing of such happened. Even new born babies are born right into sin despite this important sacrifice.

What kind of belief is this?

Going by your logic we might as well conclude that all the effort of scientists in creating or inventing detergents and soap has been rendered useless since we still have dirty clothes and dirty people today. undecided

If your jesus died on the cross for the world to be saved, why is there still sin today? Was not the personified Son of God enough to cleanse the whole world of sin?. Why did he have to send his beloved son to die for the sins of the world?. Couldn't he just come himself, or wave his hand and make it all well. He said his spirit was willing but his flesh was weak, and what did God do? His only begotten son, according to your belief, he let him die by Cruci-Fction. So that's how God showed his love?. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. And we are supposed to teach our children this and perpetuate the greatest "story" (lie) ever told? NOT!
Humanity was given the free will right from creation, that's why Adam and Eve had a choice on whether to obey Yahweh or not. But since they fell, the free will hasn't changed till date that's why the book of the law was provided as a guide to humanity. If humanity goes against it, there's a wage or consequence for such an action. Some may ask why the law? The law started from creation but became full flesh when it was passed to Moses. Once Yahweh says a thing, it's difficult for him to change especially when it becomes a law. That's why Lucifer was able to deceive Adam and wait for Yahweh's judgement

Are you sure humans have free will? You Christians talk a lot about certain prophesies that are destined to be fulfilled no matter what -- so that doesn't leave a heck of a lot of room for free will. Neither does all this talk I hear about God, or some angel or saint, lending a hand to save someone's home from fire and/or flood or guide someone's decisions, or help a local team win a big game.

Yes human being has a freewill that's why they choose to do what they like without interference but there are consequences for every action taken by man. Yahweh had to give man instructions because of the following
1.Checkmate man's activity
2.To draw man closer to him
But man still has a choice to either obey o
and live a good life or disobey and bear the consequences. Yes there are prophecies that are bound to happen but every prophecy without a condition is an entertainment. Prophecies can be changed anytime anyday even if they're bound to happen. It left for man t
Or Yahweh to so
The only prophecy that wouldn't change is rapture. Why because Yahweh has already said it and would bring to pass as he pleases.

It's hardly a joke. If something as sophisticated as a car cannot make itself or come by chance, then the sophisticated universe and planets couldn't have been by chance. That is the simple point Olaa made that you all are pissing about.

Anyone who has to know the owner of a car factory and visit one before he can process that cars are made is likely slow.

Tell me how well you understand this scripture
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. If you can crack it and raise meaningful questions as it links Jesus christ. May be you will get an headway for your question. One author once said ''the worst editors who ever lived were the bible writers''. You might want to agree with this comment. But that is where the greatness of the author of the Bible comes in. To understand the bible, the right heart motivation must be there, or else, you will never under the deep things of God kept in sacred secrets.

To whom would that ransom be paid? Psalm 49:7 specifically says that the ransom is paid “to God.” But is not Jehovah the one who arranges for the ransom in the first place? Yes, but this does not reduce the ransom to a pointless, mechanical exchange—like taking money out of one pocket and putting it into another. It must be appreciated that the ransom is, not a physical exchange, but a legal transaction. By providing for the payment of the ransom, even at enormous cost to himself, Jehovah affirmed his unwavering adherence to his own perfect justice.—Genesis 22:7, 8, 11-13; Hebrews 11:17; James 1:17.15

His terms, His rules
If you want to talk about religion, you cant remove faith or belief.
Talking about God and removing supremacy makes it look like you are talking about a steward who must give account of his stewardship to a boss.

God has not at any time withdrew freewill from man, what he allow, He allowed.

Pharaoh, Judas, plus any other you wanted to use as example, have their freewill and consciousness to take good decision form destruction.

Romans 1vs21-24 Is the answer to what happen to them. Pharaoh is a racist, wicked and arrogant king, who subject Israelites to hard labour, Judas was a thief and a fraud, who think he can scam the Jewish leader.

The similarities between the two is their intention, and God have them up.

If you believed on karma, do these guy deserved their treatment?
