JESUS DIDN'T DIE FOR THEM!
2007-01-11 12:43:44 · 14 answers · asked by James 2 in Society & Culture ➔ Religion & Spirituality
IF JESUS ALREADY REDEEMED US THROUGH HIS DEATH, WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING MORAL? EVANGELICALS THINK THAT SIMPLY FAITH SAVES A PERSON; CAN'T I THEN BE EVIL AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN? THIS IS MORONIC!

They ARE confused because they insist on following their own interpretation of Scripture -- why on earth do you think there are so many of them? If they were all about Truth, then the Holy Spirit would, of course, lead them to one and the same conclusion.
Some believe that the Rapture (which is really Darbyism -- invented in the 1800's) will happen before the Tribulation; others believe that it will happen after; some do not believe in it at all and are called amillennialsts.
There are sooooooooooo many different communities out there (they don't even qualify as churches) but they obviously don't all believe the same things in the same manner -- otherwise they would all be of "one heart and one mind" and all belong to the one True Church of Jesus Christ -- the Catholic Church. Its the only one that goes back to the Apostles. All else was invented in 1500 and later.
The Church of God of Prophecy, the Church of God and the Assembly of God all came out of the same foundation -- Asuza Street in downtown L.A. in the very early 1900's -- but now they are 3 separate groups. A friend of mine -- a Protestant pastor --told me that in Cleveland, TN there are at least 10 different denominations all located there. How do they witness to any kind of unity if they all have to be separate? What heresy!!!!! Was Jesus' prayer in vain -- that they "all be one"?

A product of a person's faith is good works. If someone has no good works and claims to have faith then perhaps in reality they've never really had faith in Jesus.

You're either a hypocrite or a horrible pretender of a follower of Jesus. Go read the word and learn something new.

HITAN ( Democracy in Heaven ), do you worship Jesus or GOD ?
Why can not everyone pick a faith/ religion/ idea to follow without being discriminate

Then who did He die for? Aren't evangelicals included in humanity?
Evangelicals do not believe that you have free license to sin. Read the 6th chapter of Romans.
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

I feel sorry for you.
Do you actually believe what you are saying?
What is your hope in life?
Mine is my FAITH in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and it feels GOOD!

Jesus died for sinners. if you believe that evangelicals are sinners, it doesn't matter. anything bad they might have done is forgiven by christ.

You asked the wrong question. The question should have been,
" Why I am so confused "?
