I've always heard Christians say that Jesus died on the cross for theirs sins. I ask if he has died for your sins then why do you have to do good deeds. Afterall(according to you) Jesus was punished in place of you. So don't you think it's so silly?Son of God dying for no fault of his'?By the way can a son of god(=god) die?

Some days ago a Christian on Q/A explained to me that it is like you are condemmned by the court any some rich guy comes and pay the fine so that I have not to go to jail.
I am still wondering why should i still have to go to jail after the rich guy paid my fine?

Jesus dying on the cross for our sins is not a pass to sin and sin and sin. If you accepted Christ as your savior and become born again. the old you dies and the new you in Christ is born. Your old ways should die aswell. if you continued to live that same sinful way of life after you "claimed " to accept Chirst as your savior, Lying and playing around with your salvation is a dangerous thing to do, and besides Jesus knows if you are sincere or not, You cannot hid anything from Him. Do your self a favor and go and do your utmost best to sin no more. We are all sinners, and we commit sins every day, but it is up to us to ask for the Lord to forgive us and to make an honest effort to correct those sinful traits that are a part of our daily routine. Try to remember what would Jesus do, and be serious about it, and if it isn't something that Jesus would be accepting of, then DON'T DO IT. Pray continuously for strength to correct any non christian habbits you might have and work on changeing them. There is nothing you can conquor as long as you are born again and living for the Lord.
Hebrews 10:16-17 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Once you ask for forgivness and Jesus forgives you of that sin, he will not remember it. But if you continually repeat your sins this is what God says....
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Believe me when I tell you that when God does this, it is not good.
Before we leave this earth, even though are sins are forgiven and not remembered, that is that they will not be judged upon in heaven, we still have to pay in life for those sins before we leave this world.

Jesus died to end all sin, and everyone was born with sin, except for Jesus and Mary. He also died on the cross for the people who died before he did, so they can enter the Kingdom of God. See all of us have original sin, because of what Adam and Eve did. We must find faith within ourselves and realise the sacrifice Jesus made because of the love he had for us. It reminds us that Jesus died on the cross so we may not be punished by are past sins, but the sins we create on our own are horrible, and we must ask God for forgiveness and do penance.

No you are not free to sin. The Ten Commandments are still in effect. In fact Jesus came to complete the Law not to end it. The Laws came from God. But the Spirit of the Law and grace came through Jesus Christ. The Ten Commandments are the only foundation for peace on earth. It is important to practice them. And I did say practice. We all fall short. Because of Jesus we can get up in the morning and start over.

There are at least 45,000 Protestant churches in the U.S.
What caused all these different beliefd if the MESSAGE is so clear?
Virgin Birth - A preconceived notion?
What is the Imacculate Conception?
Betcha don't know.
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
If Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!

Your sins are forgiven you if you repent. Repent means not to do it anymore; turn away from it. The sins you do not repent from are not forgiven. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. If the person is openly sinning, one would have to question not only their devotion, but their conversion. There is to be a change in the person. They are no longer a slave to sin. They have the power to turn from sin. If a Christian is stealing, would he be a Christian? The word Christian means Christ like and since Christ never stole, how are they Christian? As long as we are in the flesh, we will be tempted and on occassion and sin. But it will not be a willful sinning. See Hebrews 10:26-27 "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."

Have you heard of hell? Have you heard of Purgatory. Christians are not free to sin. If we do, we will be punished. If Christians sin, and if they repent, they can ask for forgiveness, do penance and be absolved of those sins.
Jesus died for all mankind. Prior to the coming of Jesus, there were no Christians. He suffered and died for those people, as well, who did not have an opportunity to learn better.
The Son of God did die, but was resurrected. You know: Easter.

If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved from eternal death. Jesus has died to take away the sins of the world (available to those who accepts him).
Son of God died and has risen again after 3 days just as it was prophecied.
May God open your spiritual mind so that you will understand better.

The son of God died, but was ressurected. Something any meer mortal could not do. Also, he was punished for the sins of man at the time of his death, not for sins incured after his death. So, to keep from a similar fate, it is widely understood that we should not sin or we shall face God's wrath as before, but this time Jesus isn't going to save us.

Christians are not free to sin and we will definitely be judged according to what we have done here on Earth. Christians know that good deeds is required but must be done by faith thru God. Without faith it is impossible to please God. No, it is not silly. Jesus loves you and the world. Humans die. Jesus was human. Why couldn't he die?

People are free to sin. All people of any faith are free to sin. there is punishment for sins in all societies. Some it is the civil laws and others it is the church. Also it can be by the family or general public. Don't read the bible and try to take one part of it and define it. As you say it in your question is not what the bible says.
