The Bible says Christ is the lamb of God, and that He takes away the sins of the world. So?

Question

Who will go to Hell for sin? He died not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world. So this leaves only the sin of rejecting Christ? So what is the point in judging others, or cramming beliefs down their throats, when we can spend our time living our faith and helping others instead of condemning them?

Answer 1

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
means that He is the Savior who has reconciled us to God the Father . I think you have to be careful though in assumming that there is no sin to confront. We are human after all and each day we are engaged in a choice between God's way or Satan's way.
In other words there is always a potential to sin. Some of the deadly sins are: lust, gluttony, sloth, anger, etc. This is why one should always stay connected through prayer to God's grace and mercy 24-7. Judging others and condemning them in itself is sin.
I agree we should spend our time living out our Faith and loving others and let God be God. Only He who is omnipotent and all loving can judge.

Answer 2

If you see a drowning man and you jump in and save him, does it matter what religion he is, or an atheist? Christ was the "sacrificial lamb", the prophesies were written of centuries before His coming as you know. Since He paid the price for mankind and given reign over it by the Father, this is why He takes away the sins of the world and all must receive Him to get to the Father. There is a book of judgment and the "lamb" reads the names, this is the final condemnation of Hell. If you are not a Christian, then that is His decision alone your destiny. Let God judge, it's not our responsibility, but we must survive as well in society. If you "cram" too much food in a child's stomach, he will vomit it back up, so is cramming beliefs as you call it. We are given free choice in most things we do.

Answer 3

Jesus did die for all, but the unforgiven sin is te one that is not stopped and confessed to God and repented of. We can't be the judge of others, but we are to teach others the truth. We aren't to "cram" anything down anyones throat. Satan will blind the eyes of those who wish to be blind (2 Tim 4:3,4). A part of the faith is to lead others in the Bible truth. Eph 2:10, 2 Tim 3:16. We are not to condem people, but the sin. Love the sinner hate the sin.

Answer 4

All religions blame others for not being true to religion, so as to convert people to their way of thinking, as we see by the Muslims condemning Christians, and Christians condemning others. If a person really has a deep-seated belief in their God, they need do nothing except to accept his teachings, not criticize others.But it seems that everyone needs to show that their God is better than his God. If indeed churches, temples and synagogues were abandoned and religion kept as a personal issue, the world would gain more harmony. We need not glorify God by edifices and with evangelists praying in tents to convert the masses and heal. The money that is wasted in supporting religion and the beauty of the churches would make a serious dent in making the world a better place and that would be more glorification to god than a custodian mowing the church lawn, or a contractor repairing a church roof.

Answer 5

If you are a Christian, someone somewhere had to have talked to you about salvation. Jesus did die for the sins of the world, But remember that have not taken away sin, That will only be done after the Millennium, when everything is redeemed back to God, even this earth has to be redeemed, Yes there is many verses I can use. Jesus made the way for us to escape sin, But it is up to us to ask him into our lifes. So you think that it will be better for us to hush up & just live our lives ourself, Then Why did Jesus tell his Apostles to preach the word, Why didn't Jesus say, Apostles, you are now saved, & hush up & just live your own salvation out & not bother others, Stop & think about it, Now Friend, I do believe many young Christians is over zealous, They get save today & tomorrow they are ready to tell the world how to live, & they don't even know what is in the bible, Friend I am a Mature Christian, Yes I am still learning also, But in over 36 yrs. of serving God, I think I know enough of how to conduct myself & also what the bible is speaking about. I don't know how long you have been a Christian.

Answer 6

When we receive Christ in our hearts as our Lord and Saviour, we repent of the sins of our past like (ie: prior to asking Him into our hearts). Those sins are forgiven and forgotten by God.

The sins we will be held accountable for are those we commit after becoming Christians. In the Catholic Church, we go to Confession and the priest acting as God's representative, gives us Absolution. I expect it will be like that in Heaven too. Sins confessed will be forgiven. Those not confessed will be held accountable.

Also, any country who turns away from God's chosen people (Israel), will suffer God's wrath.

So you see, it isn't just each person's individual sins that will be judged but also those we commit as a nation.

Answer 7

For all you people answering putting forward that Christ is God.... move to church extra!!! there is rather no verse contained in the bible exhibiting Christ as God because they are separate. the absolutely way they are extraordinarily a lot a similar is with the help of.... Christ being God's son duh so yeah, under no circumstances, structure, or kind are they a similar. So yeah i'm with juchari acháti keriti, "Bible guy, do not you examine it?"

Answer 8

When we first repent, He will forgive our past sins, but we still need to repent of all new sins daily.

Once we are saved we can still lose our salvation.

Christians need to tell all none believers of their need for a Savior.
Christians need to tell all Christians what different sins are so they can avoid them also.

What we do have to be careful of is telling people our own personal convictions (God may want you not to do some thing because of a weakness you have) and put these on others and they become a burden to them.

We all need to get closer to Jesus and let His Spirit lead us into all personal convictions.

Answer 9

Hell is not eternal. Christ sacrifice is important because if we come to think of it at the end of our karmic cycle we are spared from the same death sentence which Christ went through. That's how important His death is. At the end of our karmic cycle our individual WILL will be aligned to that of Christ. Our thoughts and Will become His and vice versa. It is His death that we are saved from undergoing the same suffering. Because what he had been through we have been through. At the end of the karmic cycle there is no you or me but just Christ. So you are right it is our sin(delusion from the truth) the only one that rejects Christ. Buddhist believes Hell is earth so its not eternal. we are here to perfect our lives in order that our thought will be pure. Once it's pure, we are ego-less. Once ego-less, there's no you and me. There's only ONE living spirit.

Should we judge? NO.
Should we condemn? NO.

Then why we are doing it? Because we are yet to be perfect. There's so much to learn. So much to undo. There's just too much ego around. Processing is far from over.

Answer 10

Before Jesus died, they used to offer animals sacrifices to wash their sins but after he died no need to continue the tradition as he was sacrificed for the human sins.It is good thing if Muslims accepted this point and stop sacrificing millions of animals for sins each year since already they believe Jesus is prophet and they have high regards for him.
