>Jesus died for your sins
christians always parrot this sentence. wtf does it even mean? do they even know themselves? Is that even a coherent fucking sentence?
Jesus died for your sins
When you read the New Testament, you will understand everything.
Inb4 could have snapped fingers instead.
Basically this. By sinning (going against divine will, separation from God, whatever) we create a debt, a fine, a punishment proportional to the wrong doing. By betraying god and seeking Satan, we committed the ultimate wrong against the ultimate good. Hence each sinner now has earned a debt he can never pay back, the punishment being death and eternal torment/oblivion to bring back balance. By becoming human (Jesus incarnate) and living a sinless life and incurring no debt to himself (yes), then dying and traveling to hell, God has payed all debts in full. Since his life is infinite, dying where we should have be executed covered every death each should have received. Every debt before his death, every debt yet to come. All sin is now paid forever. By returning himself to life (this I actually buy because it was recorded by the Romans and Jews, same fuckers who killed him) he set the precedent for death not being permanent.
Now we have a new command to follow, trust in the fact that said sacrifice paid your debt, and boom your death won’t be permanent.
>but muh still damned to hell
He allows you to return to whichever god you follow after death, if you worship Satan then guess what, you get Satan. Worship Christ and you’ll return like he did.
Inb4 fedorafags cry christcuck. I don’t give a shit.
no, I've read parts of it
Humans have INHERITED sin from Adam. Since we all have Adam's sin we TOO must die. However, that isn't fair because that's not our fault. So God sent his son to die on our behalf so we can be freed of sin. Jesus had to be resurrected because he earned the right to live again. The reason why us humans cannot have such a privilege is because we are both inheritors of Adam's sin and because we sin ourselves. Since Jesus didn't come from Adam he inherited no sin. While alive Jesus committed no sin at all. The payment for sin is death. Since Jesus neither inherited it nor performed it he was worthy of a resurrection. His resurrection allowed him to pay for both Adam's sin and the sins of our own. Thus, now WE are eligible for the same resurrection as Jesus. The difference is that our sin and Adam's sin is covered by him.
Okay, let me type out an explanation. You won't really understand just reading fragments.
Read the NT, don't read bits and pieces. Read the entire thing.
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
>When you read the New Testament, you will understand everything.
Bull, not as easy as they make it out to be. To be fair though He did said that only those with eyes to see and ears to hear could pretty much decipher the parables.
Like that makes any more fucking sense. *facepalm*
Dude we still don’t understand the book. Not having God talk directly to us fucks things up. Don’t blame him, infested with Jews like we are.
Here
Well what doesn’t make sense. I’ll flesh it out. I’ve got time and I’ve spent most of my life figuring this bullshit out.
Jews have made retards out of Christians.
youll never know what Jesus came to save you from unless you thoroughly understand how much of a dick God is in the old testament
God gave is freedom of choice. If you love someone, you let them make their own choices. He did not want to make us like robots that were programmed (forced) to love him, as that would not be real love. We humans have an inclination to do evil. Mankind chose to be and do evil instead of love God. God is a god of laws. His creation has laws, such as the laws of physics, and he is happy to have these laws in place. According to his laws, the penaty for sin is death. Within this framework, God allowed us to sacrifice (put to death) an animal in place of our own death for our own sins (instead of us paying the price, which is death, we would cast it onto the animal). However, this was a thing that had to be repeated, because we repeatedly sinned, and mankind was getting to obsessed with laws and legalism instead of the point which was to love God. So God came as a man, Jesus. He taught us a lot and rebuked the legalism of the Pharisees. Finally, as God had spoken to the prophets throughout the Old Testament (prophesies), Jesus was sacrificed for a permanent forgiveness of the sins of all men. God offered this sacrifice for us, according to his laws, and what we need to do to be forgiven of our sins is to accept the sacrifice that he did for us. Also, if we really love God, we must try our best to be good people. If we say we believe but we don't try to turn away from evil, then we do not actually believe, and so we are not actually forgiven, which means we will suffer from the "second death" and not have eternal life. Those who accept the sacrifice are forgiven and will not die the "second death" in the afterlife, but will have eternal life in heaven in the presence of God.
Ah, sorry, I messed up the first sentence already... I meant to say God gave us*. It's hard to type accurately on my phone.
He retired in France. None of the nailing to a cross occurred.
It's not about deciphering. It's about understanding that you/we truly have sin in our life and Chirst was the atonement. Christ was in this world, not just to save sinners, but so that we may know God and accept him!
God's justice is perfect, so no sin can go unpunished. God's mercy and love is also perfect, so He took the punishment upon Himself. You just need to accept it.
>the penaty for sin is death
penalty* (price)
Except the crucifixion is one of the most well corroborated events of the era.
Cope
Hey, thanks user! I actually get it. Hmm, why couldn't they just say what you wrote as simple as that?!
So gods like a Jewish central banker? He created a scenario based on debt and everyone innocently born in to it and suffering from it has to pay back that debt he created by worshipping...his son he sent to be murdered? And now I have to eat his body and drink his blood in a ritualistic cannibal rite and excuse all my failings with a free pass to heaven card I can wave around even if I do evil over and over? And if I question this odd scenario and refuse it based on a logical hes going to burn me to death?
NIGGER YOU WORSHIP SATAN.
The wage of sin is death.
it makes perfect sense if you believe in eternal life and resurrection. if you don't then you're going to live a life of sin and burn in hell. I have no other way to help you understand.
A blameless sinless man has defeated death and used his position with his Father to forgive all of us on the condition that we believe in him.
It's an elegant solution because believing Jesus died and rose from the grave is the same as believing in eternal life and resurrection and living with repentance of sin. People like you do not repent because you're wicked, evil, and would rather pleasure seek until your destruction. To you, there might as well be no heaven, because when you die, that's it. You're gone.
“Just need to” is a poor way to phrase it for people who don’t understand it. Christcucks blindly accept it. Actual God followers study it until the understand it.
You know what I think we need to bring back? Christian killing, Viking style. Just kicking in doors of cathedrals and axeing everyone present because
ITS A WASTE OF TIME ARGUING WITH YOU FUCKING RETARDS.
I have to tell you christcucks, that the rituals are the main course for the sheep, even though the substance and mercy is missing from the ritual the sheep love the busybody work as much as the Pharisees did.
My question is, if you forgot to go through the ritual, out of negligence of course, could you just picked it up and add the ritual to the substance and then all things would line up?
Not debt as in jew debt. Think entropy. The natural state is goodness and balance. Nature following divine mandate. By using your free will to oppose the divine will, imbalance is created and must be fixed. Seething kikes need to stop getting btfo’d every time they try and pull the “muh god is joo”
>God
You are misappropriating the name of God and giving it to the Jew-god Yahweh. Godan ( God ) is the chief god among many others in the polytheistic Germanic pantheon. God is not a title, it is the Lombardic ( shortend ) name of Godan, or more commonly, Wodan.
There's a lot more to the New Testament, but this is the core message.
Yes, thank you, but you understand what I'm saying.
Why were people able to sacrifice an animal to absolve ourselves of karmic debt? That sounds evil honestly although everything else does make sense and more or less in line from my own research
Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.
Remission aphesis in Greek: dismissal, release, fig. pardon
Original Word: ἄφεσις, εως, ἡ
Hebrews Chapter 9: 20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Why blood?
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
The debt of sin had to be paid. Jesus' blood, the blood of a sinless man paid the price for all of us.
Every ancient culture understood this. They sacrificed to their gods, some even made human sacrifices.
>People like you do not repent because you're wicked, evil
yeah but you're not, got it
the jews already had the narrative scripted from the start. literally like being born into a transgender forcing parent. Did JEsus even have a choose? everyone crying, shit life all around, be told ur the chosen one. he was groomed from the start to drive into the unknown. but hey he did successfully drive into the unknown and deliver some truths and answers. its both fucked up and beautiful.
I didn't mean accept the facts or intellectual aspects, I meant accept the gift of His sacrifice so it actually applies to you.
>god gave us sin so that god in the shape of his son could remove said sin
christcucks are fucking retarded
Mutt poster is a christcuck not a Christian. Disregard his ignorance.
You just made zero sense you fucking faggot.
>god made sinful entropy world where his creatures will fail because they’re ignorant but I’ll send my baby down to die and if they get confused about the logic of worshipping him and eating his body I’ll kill them because it’s so obvious.
CHOKE ON THE EUCHARIST FAGGOT.
So why couldn’t he have chopped off a finger?
God doesn't charge interest.
Jews got the Romans the kill some jew, so now you can go to heaven.
