How can you believe He died for our sins if we didn't even exist. He died for the sins of those, so that likfe could continue and so that you could exist.
The sins you have commited, you have created. They did not exist IN YOU; and you will die for them, unless you find your way to righteousness and Truth.

Jesus did exist and that is why we believe that He died for the sins of mankind.All mankind was born in a state of sin. So a baby who is only one day old is a sinner. Sounds harsh, but it is because the whole of mankind fell from God's grace when Adam and Eve first disobeyed God. Jesus came to place us back in right standing with God. So even if you lived a perfect life, which you can't, you were born into sin just by the fact of coming into a fallen world. When you commit sins throughout your life you are just adding more fuel to the fire.

we die because of our sin not for it, because Christ died for it. Christ died for everyone! Not just the people that were alive then. When you invite Christ to live in your heart...he basically takes over responsibility and forgives our sin. I'm not exactly sure what you are saying in your question, maybe add some details and clear some stuff up.

God died for the sins of the world, even though
we might not have been born when he was here
the world still exists. We are born in sin as this
world is imperfect and we will die not because
of our sins but because of the process that
takes place in this world. It will be left up to us
as to where we will go in the hearafter because
we are given a choice while in this world.

He took on the punishment for sin as a whole. Think of it like this... A rich man gives the IRS $50trillion so that no one ever has to pay taxes again. The taxes are paid in a lump sum even though many would be tax payers dont even exist yet.

Jesus has already died for our sins. He's God, so He already knew us before we were even around. We haven't created the sins we've commited, we were born like that. We were concevied like that. Jesus has already taken care of all that. Now all we have to do is believe it and accept it.

He died for all our sins- the sins of those past, present and with Hm, and those like us who are in the future. He is the Truth.

Because of the first sin in the garden of eden my adam and eve we are all born with the ORIGINAL sin and lost our right to eternal life... We were going to have eternal life just like god as we were made in his image but we lost that when adam and eve sinned against god.....Yes and now we have to die to pay for that sin...

Christ died for all sin, past, present and future. He died once for all. All we need to do is put our trust in Him.

Are you crazy?
No one can attone for what you do but you!
It's called personal responcibility for ones actions!
If you harm someone else it does that person no good for you to beg a sky fairy to forgive you. Your begging a sky fairy for so called forgiveness doesn't change the pain you caused!
Perhaps if Christians weren't so interested in sidestepping their own guilt we would see less violence and death in the world! After all it is all of you that believe in so called forgiveness that are starting the wars!
WERE IS THE LOVE OF YOUR GOD! Hard to see it when you are being dragged into one stupid war after another!
