I don't know why people like quoting bible instead of answering simple logical question

"Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

A lot of Jesus' theological teachings get pretty heady, so let's keep it super simple with illustrations...

Let's say Heaven is a room. Jesus would be the door to that room i.e the only access to the room.
The process of believing and accepting and confessing and all that, that's how you access that room, through Jesus.

Now what if you refuse to believe Him? That would be like me telling you plainly that this door will take you to heaven, and you say "No! I don't believe that door leads anywhere, I will not go through it."

What then? You are on the outside of the door, you will not come in. I don't believe God will leave you like this, but that's a different discussion. This would be a situation you have entirely put yourself into, for if Jesus offers us a gift[Salvation] and we throw it in His face, I certainly can't find any fault of Jesus' in that situation.

The answers you seek is clearly written in John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:17-18 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is just the simple truth. so don't ask why again. do you believe in His sacrifice? Remember, His Name is Jesus/Yeshua.

MrDavidson:
Jesus Christ NEVER went to Hell as punishment for the sins of the world. He went there as a victory over the power of death.

And people don't go to Hell because they've to pay or atone for their sins - people go to Hell for blatantly refusing to turn from their sins. You only become a beneficiary of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ after you accept it and turn from your sins. Unfortunately some people think that Christ having died for our sins gives them the go-ahead to continue sinning. Very wrong. Rather, it's what even empowers you to live above sins.

Stay there and keep asking questions with obvious answers.

I don't know how a jewish man supposedly dying, pays for the sins I (a black man) could not have committed at the time.

Makes no sense whatsoever.

vargasvictory:
If Jesus died on the cross and spent three days in hell to pay for the sins of the world, then why would we have to go to hell ourselves and pay for them again?


God is then, in essence, being paid for our sins twice. With that said, was Jesus' sacrifice not worthy enough? If that is the case, why should we care that he died for our sins if his sacrifice means nothing at all?

Everyone would carry his or her own cross.

pass111:
Jesus died and paid the price for every sin even the ones yet to be committed.
As I understand it, Jesus died for our sins didn't imply he died to keep us from sinning. He died for the forgiveness of our sins past, present, and future. As John said, if we claim we have no sin we lie and deceive ourselves (see 1 John 1:. In other words, we still sin but are forgiven. Although we must strive by way of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us not to sin.

So even after receiving him and you go on sinning and unfortunately you die without asking for forgiveness, I guess we all know the aftermath.

The purpose of repentance is to turn a new leaf and take a new path towards righteousness. A robber is considered to have repented when he desists from robbing and turns his actions into good.

For me, repentance is an action directed towards righteousness and by taking up steps to righteousness, you distance yourself from your prior misdeeds and wickedness.

The role of Jesus' death is absurd because in no way is it beneficial aside from conjuring up a commercial tale on how blood equates to money and used to pay for metaphysical goods. Which means a Being other than God himself is being appeased.

The only manner Jesus's death would make sense is a martyrdom for the sake of righteousness. That he gave his life for goodness despite the temptation to enjoy the kingdom of man.

The death of Christ is of spiritual significance . No matter how you have shown penitence for one's wrong actions , it won't matter as far as Christ is not involved . That's why you ask for Jesus' blood to wash away your sins .

Christ brought salvation through his death on the cross . Only the saved will make it into God's kingdom

Kay17:
See the absurdity in your statement.

You are one of those who believe strongly in free will and readily condemn man for his freely willed sins yet you accept the impotence of man's free will in the face of salvation! How come!?

And how does blood change a prostitute or a robber or a slave trader?!

omonnakoda:
Dying only for 3 days for ALL SINS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. Safe in the knowledge that he would rise. Sounds like a scam to me.
Even Isaac the son of Abraham did not have that knowledge that his proposed death would be brief or aborted.

Anyway Christianity cane to us about 200 years ago from Europe .Does that mean God forgot about black people for the million years we have been here>Not even one prophet? He sent all his prophets to the Middle East?

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

21 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”

KingEbukasBlog:
1. You do realise that you failed woefully in understanding the meaning of 'spiritual significance '

2. I can't believe kay17 does not understand the concept of freewill . Freewill is not concerned with the consequences of your actions but your ability to exercise the will or make use of the power of choice . Man have been given the carte blanche - the freedom do what he likes , that's the freewill .

Kay17:
Now if man likes righteousness then he can be righteous isn't it

KingEbukasBlog:
True righteousness can be only through Christ . You can't desire righteousness without Christ , its like desiring to live without breathing
