If Jesus Died For Our Sins, Why Are We Still Going To Hell? by Lh19(m): 12:12pm On Dec 08, 2016
Good day my fellow Nairalanders, ever since I was a child I've always had a question which has been on my mind for Christians.

It is well known according to the Bible that Jesus died for the sins of mankind, so I'm going to ask you guys why are we still going to hell for the sins we've committed since Jesus has already died for it?

It so because we humans think grace is cheap and that you can just go on psinning since Christ died for it. Its not so. God turn His back on Christ on the cross not because He wants to but just because he couldn't behold sin. To make His work not to be in Vain just stop sin

because our"lord and saviour" wants us to continuously kiss his ass
He likes ass kissing so much he's willing to damn you to an eternity of torment because you don't like ass kissing or for something as trivial as "lack a belief"
He is also willing to turn to living suya people that have served him thier whole life and slipped up once before they died and make a world renowned asshole in every sense of the word inherit his kingdom without any form of retribution whatsoever
Christianity:
Would make any bullshit detector explode in a nanosecond

Guy, he died for the sins that were committed from the time of Adam till now, and so that we will have victory over sin by his blood and his grace. so that when you become born again his blood cleanses you from your past unrighteousness, and you become totally forgiven, then if you go back and continue sinning you have polluted yourself naw,so you can't enter heaven, but then the important is to always ask for forgiveness. Thank God that God is loving father who gives many chances , hence we are not consumed like in the days of old.

Ha! how can the holy spirit "bleep" someone?? The bible said the "power of the holy spirit will overshadow you", didn't even say you will feel the presence of the holy spirit. It was a spiritual thing ,I'm sure Mary didn't even know the exact moment she conceived.

Yes Jesus died for our sins, but People still go to hell because they consciously chose to reject his finished work on the cross.

Its like when a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment, is granted amnesty by the president. but deliberately refuses it, even after he/she has been informed.

But it's been known since from the days before he came to earth that people who repent before their death are forgiven of their sins, so Jesus had no reasons to die for our sins since it won't make any difference

okay ,if you say so. All I wanted was to answer your question as I thought u just wanted to understand more. But if I continue like this it will become all those religious arguments I see here, and there's no need for all that as God will open the eyes of people that truly seek him.

when a prisoner granted amnesty consciously and publicly rejects his freedom, does the granted amnesty still
count?

I will answer your question by saying, that it still counts as far as you accept it, not just by saying it but by your actions.

Let's get on point, what's the entire use of dying when at the end of it all we would still go to hell?? ?

My thoughts are that he should have lived on since whether he dies or not, the ones among us destinied for hell would still go to hell irrelevant of him dying for our sins.

Jesus death is like creating a route to eternal life and all you need is to accept to be on this route

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 3:16-17
16 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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour , you have chosen to take the route to eternal life because your sins are now forgiven since He died for you .

Hebrews 9:22
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Your sins preclude you from having eternal life but when the sins are now forgiven through Jesus' death then you are now on the route to eternal life .

Take a look at this

Matthew 7:13-14
13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Rejecting Jesus means you chosen to take the route that leads to destruction , to Hell .

how can people "chose" hell
You guys made your concept of God impossible
A diestic God is highly probable
You made your god omnipotent, omimiscient. ominobenevolentblah blah blah
If Yahweh is real wasn't fits his description is ominiretarded
You made your god omimiscient that's cool
Then you now made him give free will
Am omniscient being( giving free will)
And you say you choose to go to hell
There is no way you can twist this
An all knowing being is all knowing
That's the point of his name
How can an omniscient being not know what how going to do before you do it

Re: If Jesus Died For Our Sins, Why Are We Still Going To Hell? by jonbellion(m): 1:35pm On Dec 08, 2016
I just dint understand how people cope with this religion
"I love you so so so so so much
There is no greater love than mine"
"I love you so much that I will totally burn you in an eternal fire forever if you don't love me back
that's what a stalker/serial killer falling in love for the first time would say
But when it's from jesus it's okay
Christian salvation is the worst double standard ever to exist on the face of the earth
