Christ Jesus was hung on a cross and paid for your ONE SIN of disobedience, not sins. Do you BELIVE THIS?

Answer 1

In theory this does make sense. Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience. The Bible commands you not to commit adultery. So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

Answer 2

Technically you are correct, because the definition of sin is disobedience to God. However, Jesus also died for our sicknesses, our emotional and mental problems, and for basically the curse of the human condition as a whole. It's a good question, though, and I bet a lot of people won't get it, if that makes you happy.

Answer 3

I believe He died for our sins. Of course all sin is disobedience. If we were perfect and didn't sin from the beginning then we wouldn't be having this discussion. All sin is diobeying God and I think we're both right. Like splitting a hair.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe this is true. The specific disobedience he died for was our desire for the knowledge of good and evil (the forbidden fruit). That is the only sin we are freed from in his sacrifice. Many people believe we are forgiven for all our sins, but in truth we all pay for our sins of nature by suffering in this life. If not than in hell.

Answer 5

Not at all.
The concept of anyone, including a God, having to die to save people from their sins is utterly ridiculous and designed to make people feel somehow indentured to repay the act by obedience.

All a person need do is ask a simple question: What father in their right mind would devise a plan in which their son has to be brutally murdered to save imperfect beings that he created in the first place? Further, if God is all powerful, couldn't he come up with a better plan? Of course he could. The entire story makes no sense whatsoever.

It's like God creating imperfect people and then killing them with a flood, children and unborn babies included, for being imperfect. It makes no rational sense. But then that's the beauty of religion - no logic or commonsense required

Answer 6

Im afraid I've managed to stuff up more than once in my lifetime. Jesus paid the price for my many sins.

Answer 7

No.

The people who actually knew Jesus (the Apostles) were not interested in his death & placed no emphasis on it. The people who learned from them were called Ebionites, & they followed Jesus within the context of the Jewish Law.

Paul (who never met Jesus) placed a big emphasis on the death of Jesus & assigned great meaning to it.

For the first 3 centuries of christianity, many christians were either not interested in Jesus' death, or they interpreted it in ways not currently found in christianity.

Paul's ideas developed over time, particularly with misquotations of human scribes who were the copy-machines of the first 1400 years of christianity. Among the people who actually heard what Jesus said, none of them had any notion of a "blood sacrifice", the "trinity", the "soul" , " sin" in the later sense of the word, or a number of other notions which are routinely taken for granted in the surviving forms of christianity.

Studying the scriptures with a mind open to historical & cultural accuracy rather than affirmation of pre-existing opinions leads one to vastly different conclusions.

Peace to all,

Answer 8

All sins boil down to one thing,and that is disobedience. So in that sense you are correct.

Answer 9

No, He died for ALL sinS, so that we may be forgiven. It wasn't just because Eve and Adam ate the fruit, it was because of man was sinful, had lots of SINS. The payment for the fruit thing was already in place, had already been taken care of. JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL SINS, not just one.

Answer 10

Jesus explained very clearly just which sin the Holy Sprit would convict us of. It is the singular sin of not believing on Jesus.

John 16:9 says,

“Of sin, because they believe not on me.”

The Holy Spirit doesn’t convict us of lying, stealing, adultery, murder, etc; He convicts us that we aren’t trusting in Jesus. That’s the root of every sin.

Technically, people don’t go to hell for their individual sins; Jesus has already forgiven all of them (1 John 2:2). People go the hell for the single sin of not making Jesus their personal Savior, the complete and only payment for their sin.

Even after receiving salvation, it’s not our actions (sins) that are the problem but the heart attitude of not trusting Jesus. That is the root of all sin. The reason people do dope and alcohol is because they are turning to something other than Jesus to dull the hurt inside.

When we lie, it’s because we don’t trust Jesus and feel we have to manipulate others. That’s what all sin comes down to: not trusting Jesus. That’s what the Holy Spirit convicts us about.

Most Christians have not truly understood this positive ministry of the Holy Spirit. We have made Him the source of our feelings of guilt, condemnation, and unworthiness. Because of that, we haven’t really let Him do His job, and we are missing the benefits and power of a relationship with Him.

The Holy Spirit should be your best friend. He was sent here to encourage you and constantly assure you of God’s love. He is the most important and most powerful person in your life. If you haven’t been thinking correctly about the Holy Spirit, it’s time to change your thinking.

You will never be able to relate to God correctly until you understand this positive ministry of the Holy Spirit
