Paul said it. Peter said it. But, when and where in the Bible did Jesus say that he was going to die for your sins, and that you would not be judged by your conduct, and that you would win a lottery ticket to Heaven?

Jesus said no matter what you scream about him being Lord, you are not going to heaven, unless you forgive others. And, unless you are reborn into a harmony-loving person. If you hold a grudge, you are not a harmony-loving person, no matter how loud you scream. Jesus' words --not mine.

Do you worship Paul, or do you follow the teachings of Jesus?

To believe in someone is to believe what he tells you. Not, to believe what other people say about him.

I have heard all of Paul's rhetoric. So don't quote Paul's opinion of Jesus' purpose. What did Jesus himself say?

Matthew 19:25-26
“Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.
Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mark 14:24
And he said to them, “This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many."

John 3:14-15
Jesus replied ... "And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

John 6:63
"The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."

John 10:11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep."

John 10:15
"just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep."

John 15:13
"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

If his death (and resurrection) were not for an atonement (an at-one-ment with God) then what was its purpose ... if salvation is still only through the law?

All the Bible was inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul received his revelation from a risen Lord. Galatians 1: 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Galatians 1: 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 14: 37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. The Lord Jesu Christ told Hia 12 apostles that He was going to be killed and rise again but they understood nothing He said. Luke 18: 31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. Luke 18: 32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: Luke 18: 33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. Luke 18: 34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. This mystery was revealed to the apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Who do you follow. You need to read the scriptures.

Jesus tells us he will die for the sins of man in the Bible. The Bible even tells of the death of Jesus and how He rose again. Amen and I praise God that Jesus is God. Because he is God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He died for our sins so we can go to heaven with him for all eternity. But God let us choose to believe on him and call upon him to save us or not. it is your choice whether you want to go to heaven or Hell.

John the Baptist referred to Jesus (in his prescence) as the lamb of God. Lambs were sacrificed in those days to sanctify people from sin. The old testament prophesy refers to Jesus as the "Lamb of God" several times, passages Jesus knew well. You actually need to study the Bible instead of trying to make a point when you have no facts. Paul simply wrote to churches so they were clear.

Jesus is the only begotten son of God who was born of the seed of God in the womb of Mary, died in the flesh, shed his blood for one purpose, to allow forgiveness of an inherited sin we are born with due to the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, In the beginning was the word and the word was made flesh. He told you. you didn't have ears to listen.

The prolific fiction writers of the church. in my opinion i do not remember on that - rather the church hijacking him and making him the merely thanks to salvation. that ought to now go away 5 + Billion out contained in the chilly.... condemned to eternal hell. it truly is it appears that evidently BS. Jesus change into not in any respect crucified and died on the go. look to info it truly is opposite to what the church needs you to have self belief. I quote Pope Leo X (1513-1521) back: it truly is from the pony's mouth! "How nicely all of us understand what a rewarding superstition this delusion of Christ has been for us".

Why don't you leave people alone with your Bible thumping values. I am tied of it. We are not going to die for our sins, and we do not sin. If anything Christianity is the last religion that holds any truth. Suck it and your Jesus. Thank goodness he died a horrible death. If I was alive then I would have laughed.

Jesus never died on the cross. It was another man. Jesus was raised to heaven, and will come back to kill the anti christ. He will appear in Damascus Syria.
