If Jesus died for my sins, then I don't have to pay for my sins and I will not be punished as to be thrown to hell. So does it mean that I can sin and do whatever I want, because it's enough to believe in Jesus and love people to earn the paradise.

I agree.....it makes much more sense that we will all be judged according to our own actions.

you can not EARN paradise, you can not earn salvation and no you can not continue living in sin after coming to Jesus because you will not want to, you receive a new heart and a new spirit and he lives within you and he helps you to follow the commands of God and to be Holy..You are a new creation in Christ and that is a fact...I use to be the biggest sinner on the face of the earth and when I first came to Christ I was thinking " I could never have a good time again" but I was wrong...I never had so much fun being so FREE...I can honestly say that I know I was dead before I came to Christ just as the word of God says " you are dead in your transgressions (sins)" Just a little bit about me Before I was a Christian by the time I was 17 I had been with 50- 75 guys sometimes 4 in a night..I was addicted to sex, porn, drugs and alcohol ..you name it I did it, but God still loved me anyway and opened my eyes and came into my life and saved me. I love God so much and when I came to Christ ..it was quiet a battle (spiritual..in my mind) because I wanted to do my own thing but still wanted to do Gods Will too..so no it is not possible to remain in sin..as it says in the bible the flesh and the spirit are antagonistic to each other.

Many may disagree with my philosophy, but that's okay.
Many people believe in a literal Hell. You know, the place with fire and brimstone. But instead, my intrepretation of Hell is... it's a philosophical manifest, rather than a physical one. Hell is the reciprical of moral discontent, living in ways that are degrading society, to one's physcal being health as well as one's character, and of course by committing any of the cardinal sins as outlined in the Bible. The resulting torture, the guilt, the shame, the disrepect of others and oneself is truly (in my opinion) what Hell is. Living life right is all about doing the right thing. Whether Jesus died for our sins is irrelevant when it comes to deciding right from wrong. We must always do our best to do right.
Think about it.
I think I answered everything except for your question. I think you will discover the answer if you ponder the things I mention above.
Good luck!

A Christian would tell you, however, that if you were truly trying to follow Jesus that would mean making an attempt at stopping whatever sinful actions you are taking part in. At least thats what I'd believe they'd tell you.

Jesus died for everyone's sins. The past present and future sins you and I will commit. You must strive for holiness if you want to make heaven your home. The Bible states that there are no liars, adulator's, fornicators etc... in the Kingdom of God.

Every promise of God has conditions attached. You meet the conditions and you reap the reward. The Government has put aside pension funds for people when they attain a certain age. So does that mean that anyone who reaches that age can go and claim a pension? As judges like to say: ignorance is no excuse to the law.

What I've heard is that if you sin, knowingly and repent for it .. but then just keep doing it on purpose .. then you get thrown into the lake of fire. It isn't a free pass to do whatever you want. Good Luck ! :)

You can sin and not care, if you believe and recieve that jesus is your savior, you will go to paradise and congrats for not saying heaven cuz you don't go to heaven when u die. ok but...if you really love jesus, then I pray that he would touch you to not sin. You don't have to. Jesus died for your sins, so you are forgiven, but you still must pay the consequences. you may have to suffer the 1000 years of darkness. but why sin just because you can? you can do anything . however its not good and I pray he would touch you not to

You should do what you feel in your own heart is right. If you have to question it as a sin, it probably isn't good to do any way, and we all sin. No one is perfect. Just remember there are consequences to sins and you have to be prepared from them.

You are not going to "earn" paradise that way. So, do you believe you have to earn it or are automatically given it? What makes sense to you? I believe it takes some of both, yes we are saved but by golly, if he preached goodness, then shouldn't we try to live that way? It sure can't hurt!

Even the demons believe Jesus is the son of God and shudder.
Just knowing that he is the son of God is not enough. You have to repent also. You clearly have not. So if you choose hell, that's your fault.
