Answer 1

An excellent question You are absolutely right in that you are responsible for your own actions or Karma. Jesus cannot wash away our Sins. If he could I would be the best Christian today. This story was made up in the medieval times when the Church wanted to dominate the masses. You are correct we shall pay for what we sow

Answer 2

I respect your question.

Christians continue to sin after they are saved – we will not be free from sin until we die or Jesus comes back. However, becoming a Christian results in a changed life (2 Corinthians 5:17). A person will go from producing the acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) to producing the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). This change does not happen instantly, but it does happen over time. If a person does not demonstrate a changed life, they are likely not a genuine believer. Christians can commit grievous sins. History is filled with Christians (or those who claim to be Christians) committing terrible crimes. Jesus died for these sins as well. All the more reason not to commit them!

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, the Apostle Paul describes the kind of sinful lifestyles believers are saved from. Verse 11 says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” Notice the word “were”. Believers used to be like the things listed in verses 9-10, but they are not like that any longer. Can a person who is an adulterer, drunkard, or homosexual, child abuser, etc. be saved? Yes. Is a person who lives a life of continual sin a believer? No. When a person becomes a Christian, their life will change. Any person who is living a sinful lifestyle and claims to be a Christian – that person is either lying, is self-deceived, or really is a believer who is going to experience God’s judgment and discipline (Hebrews 12:5-11).

Answer 3

God bless you. We can't be good enough to enter God's perfect heaven. We must have a Savior or we'd all be runnin around heaven with different levels of sin causing us to contaminate our new "Garden of Eden" also. (or hell). When one becomes a new creature in Christ we don't want to sin so it doesn't matter (in that respect) that we CAN. However, we still sometimes DO. And our salvation is a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus in the sense of, did we mess up and do a sin? Do people judge? Yes but it doesn't matter if we are truly sorry. Abby's answer is probably best, but I did want you to study the book of Romans in the Bible where Paul says, "may we continue in sin? God forbid." Jesus yoke is easy, His burden is light but Romans is kinda difficult even according to Peter and I'm still studying it. Salvation is easy, but hard to fight our human nature (even qualities considered good, like I MUST earn what I get, in some cases) to understand the details brought up when we doubt or are first learning.

Answer 4

Jesus can and does wash
Revelation 1:5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And as for continue doing sin read this whole chapter!
Romans 6:1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Answer 5

This washing away of the accumulated filth of our sins is symbolized by baptism. Before Paul was baptized, Ananias said, "Why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16). By plunging our entire body under water, we are symbolically cleansed throughout. The water is only a symbol. In reality, the cleansing and reconciliation to God are by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Savior (Romans 5:8-10; Acts 20:28). Without His sacrifice, our sins cannot be washed away.

Answer 6

Baptism is symbolic of Christ being dead, buried and rising again.
When we are baptized we are buried and we rise a new creature.
The washing away of sin is in the obeying of the gospel. It puts us in Christ.

Romans 6: 1-6
What shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND?
God FORBID. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his Resurrection:
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not SERVE sin.

Answer 7

Hijab, thank you for your honesty and sincerity in understanding this issue. I'm sure that if you are are not from a Christian background, this concept may seem very strange for you.

In the Old Testament, God required various sacrifices as payment for our sins. Which is devout Jews would provide a sheep, goat, lamb, or beef to be given as the payment or atonement for their sins.

Then, Jesus was born and because he was without sin, he could be our substitute for the animal sacrifices. Jesus became the payment for all sins including yours and mine.

As far as what we are answerable to God for in the day of judgment. I believe that we will be called to give an accounting for what we have done good and bad. If we have given our lives to Jesus, we can plead the Blood of Christ as our payment for those sins. In fact, the Bible says that God will remember our sins no more for those that confess their sins and ask for forgiveness for the sins. So I believe that this means that God will not remember the sins of those who have already repented for those sins.

That's why as Christians, it's so important to daily repent of our sins, and ask forgiveness. Because when we do, God can wash away those sins through the blood of Christ.

God expects a holy generation, not a self-righteous generation, or a "praise the Lord, I am better than you" generation. But a generation who put Jesus as Lord of their life and who believed in his sacrifice.

Answer 8

OK....Jesus died as the last sacrifice for all mankind,where before he came ,animals were sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus died took the responsibility for all sins that were committed or ever would be committed,he is the stand in so that you if you except that he did this for you ,want have to go to hell as your punishment for your sin,he is your way out of hell,its already a done deal,all you have to do is claim it,except him,and what he did.and will be with you to guide and help you if you will let him,a lot of people want listen to that wee small voice telling you not to do this ,or do that,if you are really saved you will change and people will see the change, you or not the same person you were before because you are a child of God.

Answer 9

Dude if you don't believe in hell then it doesn't exist. There may be a God But do you really think that you go to heaven and sit up in clouds for the rest of eternity. And do you think people sit forever in a place that is made of brimstone and fire. Let me enlighten you. All this stuff was invented a really long time ago to scare people into going to church so you can put money into a collection plate so we can put the hierarchy of religion in nice mansions and give them nice cars are valuables. Original sin is bullshit, to error is human. Enjoy your life.

Answer 10

Please read this and you will understand the perfect sacrifice was made by the Lamb of God Jesus Christ.

Hbr 9:1 ¶ Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.


Hbr 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.


Hbr 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;


Hbr 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;


Hbr 9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.


Hbr 9:6 ¶ Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God].


Hbr 9:7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people:


Hbr 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:


Hbr 9:9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;


Hbr 9:10 [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.


Hbr 9:11 ¶ But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;


Hbr 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].


Hbr 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:


Hbr 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?


Hbr 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.


Hbr 9:16 ¶ For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.


Hbr 9:17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.


Hbr 9:18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood.


Hbr 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,


Hbr 9:20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.


Hbr 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.


Hbr 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.


Hbr 9:23 ¶ [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.


Hbr 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:


Hbr 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;


Hbr 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.


Hbr 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:


Hbr 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
