What would have happened had Jesus not died for our sins?

Answer 1

well, since he didn't.....

Answer 2

The story would have had a better ending where they went out and had some tasty food afterwards and talked about how close it was that time. You can just imagine it "Jesus, Jesus, you almost got your *** crucified, what were you thinking?" To which Jesus replies " Yeah I went a little overboard that time, I think it was a bit too much wine at that last supper, wasn't thinking too clearly about that decision" Or something like that.

Answer 3

If Jesus had not been born:

* This would not be the year of our Lord 2006.
* We would never hear a single Christmas carol or Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus.
* No city would be named St. Paul or St. Petersburg or Corpus Christi.
* We would have never heard of William Tyndale, John Wycliffe, John Knox, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, John Hus, Billy Graham, Elizabeth Elliot, Amy Carmichael, Corrie Ten Boom, Fanny Crosby, Alexander Solzenitzen, C.S. Lewis, Chuck Swindoll, C.J. Mahaney, John Piper, or… make a list of your own.
* There would be no organizations such as Wycliffe Bible Translators, Campus Crusade for Christ, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Navigators, Bethel University, KTIS, The Red Cross, Methodist Hospital, The Salvation Army, Christian Book Sellers Association, National Association of Evangelicals, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Purdue, and countless others.
* We would have no such books as Tale of Two Cities, Dickens’s Christmas Carol, or even The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
* We have no movies such as Ben Hur, The Cross and the Switchblade, Chariots of Fire, Narnia, and scores of others.
* We would never ever had heard such songs as “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” “Fairest Lord Jesus,” “Joy to the World.”
* Idioms would never have been brought into our language such as the Good Samaritan, the prodigal son, lost sheep, or any of Jesus’ other parables.
* We would not have teachings that have entered our every day speech such as turn the other cheek, go the second mile, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and love your enemies.
* It’s unlikely that this continent would have seen the arrival of the Pilgrims, and if they had come by some other name, years later President Washington could have been King George instead.
* It could be easily argued that the United States Founding documents would not be what they are.
* There would be no Desiring God ministries and no Bethlehem bookstore.
* The Wuaorani Indians of Ecuador would still kill white men instead of baptizing their children.
* The Arawakan Indians of the Caribbean would still be cannibals.
* Descendents of the Mayans in Chiapas, Mexico, would still sacrifice their children instead of teaching them to praise the true Creator.
* Prophecies would remain unfulfilled, the serpent would not be crushed, we would not be delivered, and God would be a liar. Death would not be conquered.
* The New Testament would never have been written.
* There would be no mediator between God and man, for the man Christ Jesus would not have been born. We would remain dead in our trespasses and sins, the veil not yet rent.

Answer 4

I guess you have not been listening and watching the Discovery channel. It would be to your best interest to do so. They have been explaining a lot of Jesus questions. That puts a different look on how I think these days. I would never loose my faith or my conviction ot God. But I would like to know the truth on how it got here. I believe in evolution thru creation.

Answer 5

He did not.
Actually, he died because he repeatedly upset a local roman governor.
Since then,fortunately, the death penalty has been abolished in most modern civilized countries.

Answer 6

There would not have been silly wars fought in his name. we wouildn't have so many religious issues now aday. and people wpuldn't be confused about what the person Jesus was trying to say, he would have been around and taught people what he meant and then teh religion would have died out and we would be in a better world. Darn it!

Answer 7

Either God would have allowed us to destroy ourselves or He would have done it for us.
Looking at the way things are in the world today, with global warming being what some would call, a 'natural disaster' and wars and disease and the myriad of other ways man is killing man, I think maybe both is going on.

Answer 8

The world would be much different because Christianity wouldn't have had a martyr to base their eternal holy war on.

Answer 9

the jews would still rightfully be under the law, and the gentiles would be as romans says a law unto themselves. However, all men would only be capable of attaining Paradise

Answer 10

There would be an inordinate number of unemployed thumpers around we would have to find a way to feed.

Answer 11

Things would have been all dif. Cause the promise was make in the bging. we wouldnt have anything to live for. no promise of a better perfect life. no one to pray to or through. humanity who just be living for themselves and not to please a greater power that can change the situation your in. a whole section of the bible wouldnt exist. man following man to his own distruction. it wouldnt be cool not to have someones foot steps to follow in.
