Mankind was created to live forever in paradise on earth. It was an act of disobedience (with Satan behind it) that caused sin & death/sickness etc to come upon mankind
ROMANS 5:12
His original purpose will be fulfilled - ISAIAH 55:11
Jesus sacrifice enables us to have what Adam & Eve lost (everlasting life). He, in fact, bought back for mankind what Adam/Eve lost. If we exercise faith in his sacrifice (as shown by our life course & works) then we can have this wonderful future prospect.
There is no such place as a fiery hell.
A loving God wouldn't invent such a place
The word is mistranslated & means the common grave of mankind
What does the Bible say the penalty for sin is?
Rom. 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death.”
After one’s death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins? - No
Rom. 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”
Is eternal torment of the wicked compatible with God’s personality?
Jer. 7:31: “They [apostate Judeans] have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)
Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!
To teach that God would torment people forever in a fiery hell is misrepresenting God. He is a God of love

God is a purely holy God. No sin can enter heaven, so he has a plan that will take sin from people that they can go to heaven. Sin deserves death. Before Jesus came 2000 years ago, they used animals as their sacrifice for sin, although the animal sacrifices did not take away sin, but covered their sin until the perfect sacrifice would come. Because only a perfect human sacrifice could actually take away sin. And only God is perfect. So God, in the form of a son came and paid the wages of sin. That's why he was beaten and nailed to a cross. That one act by that one man/God paid for all mankind's sin. But then it is applied to us individually when we accept what he did on our behalf.

Jesus took our sins (if we repent) because he loves us. In a way yes, after death for unrepented sins we will suffer, like he did. For all those who died before Jesus if they repented of their sins, The Atonement of Jesus took care of those. The Atonement has not time limit, it's effects go from Adam and Eve until the last person dies.

it was a mysterious act of God in that only God could achieve this incredible act of mercy on our behalf, somehow Jesus took the entire sin of the sin into Himself and then took the punishment due for these sins by His passion and death on the cross, and descended into Hades to preach salvation to all the dead to give them the chance to choose to accept that He was and is the promised Messiah.

there had to be a perfect sacrifice. Jesus was(is) the only one.
hell is not created yet, there is sheol, sometimes called hades; people go there and then after the battle of Armaggedon they will go to the Great White Thrine of Judgement, answer for their sins, then go to hell.

As descendants of Adam we have all inherited sin and it's consequence death. By voluntarily laying down his perfect, sinless life, Jesus provided a corresponding 'ransom' [Matthew 20:28 effectively buying back all condemned by Adam who put faith in his sacrificial death.

Sins aren't like doorknobs. You can't pick them up and take them anywhere. People don't go to hell for sinning. Sinning is called life.

In according to Christians belief he went willingly to death and sacrificied himself for their sins. I dont believe this, everyone is responsible for his/her sins.
