u know how jesus died for our sins? well if u think about it, he was already in heaven, then he came down here and died like we all have to just he died a little more harshly, but then he just went back to heaven. and he supposedely died for our sins then y do people still go to hell for their sins. if u want true sacrifice he should've went to hell, not for good but for at least a hundred years or so. i would go to hell just so my wife and kid could go to heaven so y couldnt jesus go for us if he cared all he did was just go back to heaven. please dont give me rude answers.

he seems selfish to make people worship him. it reminds me of cartman off southpark when he created the sea-people.

Exactly... welcome to the real world... a world where everything ends when you die!
Let's enjoy life while we can, there's nothing after!
Do as much good as you can to other people but not to gain "heaven", just because we have to be good even when there is no after-life.

Good question.
You are right. He was already in heaven (Just try to imagine what a great place heaven is). Then, he came down here to earth. He sacrificially gave up literally, THE top of the universe, to come here to earth, the bottom. See, he was God's son, and not human. He was royalty, and we are the lowest of low. He came to us, knowing perfectly well that he would die.
He knew everything that would happen to him, and what would happen because of him. He died a hard death, and he was dead for three days. Then, he rose from the dead. That proves his divinity.
The reason people go to hell, is because they don't like free stuff. See, God gave us the gift of eternal life, and we don't have to do anything to get it but believe in him. Hell is bacilli default. But if you accept the gift of Jesus, than you go to heaven.
See, God cares for us more than you can ever imagine!
God is God, and there isn't a thing you can do about not going to hell, except through Jesus.
This is just a brief summary of the simplest description of Jesus there is.

Your information is not quite correct but you seem sincere in wanting to know. First of all, hell is the common grave and Jesus did go there for parts of 3 days. Hell is not a place of torment where Satan and the demons live. The book of Revelation explains clearly that Satan and the demons were thrown out of heaven and they are stuck right now in the vacinity of the earth where they are causing great woe for all the inhabitants of the earth and sea. Jesus has gone back to heaven (after he was brought back to life by God) in order to clean up the heavens and rule as king in God's Kingdom government. This kingdom government will soon destroy all earthly governments and it will bring true peace and happiness to the earth. People die for their sins (The wages of sin is death) but because of Jesus' sacrifice of his perfect human life, that cycle can be broken if a person chooses to follow Jesus' example (as a father figure) rather than Adam's example (which was to choose to sin against God rather than lose Eve). You seem to be a very kind and loving person. Keep asking questions and know that the Bible is God's letter to you and I and if we ask for holy spirit to help us understand it, God will provide the understanding we need.

Jesus did as God told Him to. He lived a sinless life so that He could be the ultimate sacrifice for our sin. "a lamb without spot". That's why we don't have to sacrifice animals on altars anymore. Jesus gave the full sacrifice. By accepting the free gift of His blood our sins are washed away. His death was agony not only physically but He was also burdened down with all of our sins upon Him.
People still go to hell because they reject His free gift. It's like handing us a birthday present and we throw it in the trash without even opening it. It's free-just say " I want the free gift of Salvation made possible by Jesus' blood"

Jesus was a good man. The Son of God comes to earth to help people who are in need. He preformed miracles and had amazing strength and power. The kings in power feared Him and had him killed. He could have been saved, but He was betrayed. Not just by anyone but by those closest to Him. He died as a result of 'our' sins. If you would betray what you believe in, then you have sinned. To convince yourself you are doing good when you are not, or living an unfulfilled life are true sins. If you are living your life in denyal, ignoring your wrongs, then you have sinned. Only you can sin and only you can attone for your sins. There is no other way. That is Jesus' lesson to us.

You see the thing is Jesus and the Devil is completely different. They cannot mix. Jesus is Love and Satan is Hate, They can never mix you see.The same reason why Satan cannot go to Heaven and Jesus cannot go to Hell. Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Himself are all one. They cannot be seperated. God dispises the Devil and they both oppose each other. It was God's plan for Jesus to come back and in the same way it is God's plan for His Son to come down again and fight the end battle.

in fact, Jesus DID go to hell. The scriptures say :
In Acts 2, Peter is speaking, verse 31, " . . . seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in HELL"
Matthew 12:40, Jesus Christ says:
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH. "
Ephesians 4:9, says of Jesus: "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH."
so you see, He did go to hell for us, so that we can have salvation. But problem is, man turn to darkness and reject His light of salvation, thus allowing themselves to fall into the fires of hell.
Don't blame Jesus. He did everything for us. Problem is, people dont realise His love for us and take it for granted.
He died so that all who accepts Him will be saved from the lake of fire. Those who reject Him..... well.. you know where they end up.
If you think "all he did was go back to heaven", think again what he has done for you and me. Read His Word, for then you wil know the truth and the truth will set you free.

The punishment we deserve isn't about a fiery pit, it is about being rejected by God. Jesus came to earth to demonstrate a holy life and then suffered this rejection for several reasons. 1. To demonstrate holiness is possible 2. To pay for our sins by suffering everything we deserve 3. By raising from the dead, He demonstrated His nature (death couldn't hold Him) and therefore, what He said is true and we can believe we too, will live forever if we accept His sacrifice. Time suffered is not going to make a difference because again, Christ experienced the rejection of God. It was because our sin was laid upon Him that God rejected Him, not because God didn't or doesn't love Him.

The sacrifice was for all. We all have a choice to make on whom we will follow.
Why would He have stayed in hell. He did everything that He needed to do for your sins and mine. As nice as your sacrifice sounds, would you go to hell for people you did not know? People who hated you?
As far as the statement He demands we worship Him. I think you are off base on that one. He is worthy of all our worship and praise. It is again- a choice.

Hell is a man made concept. Man invented hell 2 scare people. I believe there is an afterlife, but not a hell. If someone does something bad,god WILL make them pay, but i don't think they go to hell-it does not exist.
