If you have sinned ...why should God forgive you...?

Question

...since He said, "The soul that sins ..it shall die". ??

So if He forgives you without anyone dying for your sins He would be a liar.

Do you see now why He had to provide Someone to die on your behalf".?

Answer 1

I believe it means that you must ask Christ to forgive you for your sins, and then your sin will be washed away by the blood of Christ. I believe the bible says "the only way to the father is through Christ" I don't think those are the exact words, but something to that affect.

Answer 2

God forgives us because it is his nature. We have to suffer bad karma as a result of past wrong doings but when we have resolved our bad karma and when we are ready we become one with God. God does not hate us, he gave us free will to choose right from wrong. The soul is part of God who was never born and will never die because God is not limited by time. Similarly the soul is not born and does not die. No one died for my sins because I alone have to pay for what I did wrong.

Answer 3

God is still a liar, someone who sins but believes in Jesus goes to heaven, so someone who sins goes to heaven, your quote said "it" shall die, meaning the soul that sinned, not just any soul.
God punshing an innocent soul and letting a guilty one go is both unjust and unloving.

Answer 4

in another thread you wrote:

" Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, NOR HOMOSEXUALS.....shall inherit the kingdom of God"

Perhaps, you should go back to the greek buddy, because it doesn't say "homosexuals" except in newer translated verses in the Bible ^_~

"I Corinthians 6:9
Any consideration of New Testament statements on same-sex acts must carefully view the social context of the Greco-Roman culture in which Paul ministered. Prostitution and pederasty (sexual relationships of adult men with boys) were the most commonly known male same-sex acts.

In I Corinthians 6:9, Paul condemns those who are "effeminate" and "abusers of themselves with mankind," as translated in the King James version. Unfortunately, some new translations are worse, rendering these words "homosexuals." Recent scholarship unmasks the homophobia behind such mistranslations.

The first word - malakos, in the Greek text-which has been translated "effeminate" or "soft," most likely refers to someone who lacks discipline or moral control. The word is used elsewhere in the New Testament but never with reference to sexuality.

The second word, Arsenokoitai, occurs once each in I Corinthians and I Timothy (1:10), but nowhere else in other literature of the period. It is derived from two Greek words, one meaning, "males" and the other "beds", a euphemism for sexual intercourse. Other Greek words were commonly used to describe homosexual behavior but do not appear here. The larger context of I Corinthians 6 shows Paul extremely concerned with prostitution, so it is very possible he was referring to male prostitutes. But many experts now attempting to translate these words have reached a simple conclusion: their precise meaning is uncertain."

Answer 5

God would only forgive the ones that are truly in search of His forgiveness. Not the ones thats say oh i want to be forgiven for what i ahev done and then go and do the same thing the next day.

Answer 6

I have sinned, am sinning, and will continue to sin. However, from my point of view, I am not sinning and therefore do not need God or anyonesle's forgiveness.

Answer 7

First of all Gary, shut up and allow your question to be asked instead of using the word of God to guilt someone into believing God. That's how wars start, because you have to guilt or tell someone that your version of believing in God is better than anyone else (i.e. David Koresh).

Let me tell you something before I answer you...YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME OR ANYONE ELSE. You sound like a person who has a lot of guilt to do with and you don't want to feel alone doing it. How dare you.

Now, to get back into asking your question.

YES. GOD LOVES TO FORGIVE. But God tells us constantly, if you can't take the first step foward in accepting the responsibility for your mistake, he cannot help you. It's doesn't mean he won't. it means he can,t, unless you believe you can be forgiven.

So forgive yourself for your lack of manhood Gary, and God will show you how to be one.

Answer 8

"The wages of sin is death". ... and we all will die for thise sins.
BUT GOD... (don't you just love those two words) so loved the world that he gave his only begotton son that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish ( loose his soul after death) but have everlasting life.

Answer 9

wait... what...?
Didn't Jesus already die for "my" sins? Isn't that pre-emptive forgiveness? How do souls die?

Answer 10

Maybe he shouldn't have given me a "sin nature" if he didn't want me to sin. That seems pretty asinine.
