I am not saying we should try to imitate Jesus Christ.
We can't go through the magnitude of his experience.
However since we are made in the image of God, we do have some of his abilities but they are in minute quantities.
Those who think that Jesus Christ has done away with all our sins forever should know that there are those whose name is not in the lamb's book of life!(More in Revelation)

we can't take on the sins of other people...Jesus is the only one who can do that and He has already done it
closest you can come is to practice that same sin....and that is not a good thing
be cool...

We cannot take on other peoples sins as Christ did, we can however be implicated in the sins of others by our actions, by assisting someone to sin, and indeed failing to point out to our Brothers and Sisters that they are commiting a sin.
Jesus did not free us from wanting to commit sin and if we do this by our own will then we are offending Him much more than the unbeliever does.
We are weak and need to repent whenever we do wrong and must not take for granted the sacrifice of Jesus.

you can not take on the sins of other people. this is the sole responsibility of the individual. the sins of the father will not be passed on to the children, nor will the sins of the children be passed on to the father.
each individual will have to answer to the heavenly father for their own sins, except for those who have chosen christ jesus as their personal lord and savior.
the sins of the world have been forgiven except for one sin, and that sin is the rejection of christ jesus. yes, we all live in sin because of the flesh of mankind. the flesh was born out of flesh, the spirit out of spirit and it is our spirit man that is within us that will either see heaven or hell, but you must seek and receive the eternal gift of life that is found through jesus now in this lifetime because once death touches us all, there is no more redemption.
but you say, if GOD is love, then how can he send anyone to hell?
he does'nt judge because each of us while in these earthly bodies have judged ourselves while we are alive, and that judgement is the acceptenance or rejection of christ jesus.

Noone can take noone's sin., A living being's body is decided by its good or bad karma, This is a cycle, Which can be put to an end using human form as an equipment to do good deeds, follow the path of dharma and attaining eternity.,
There is no shortcuts for this,

There is no way that we could ever take on the sins of anyone or anything. We are full of our own sins......this is why Christ came in the first place as the perfect sacrifice for us. When He said it is finished......it was finished.
As far as the book of life.......God knows who will be saved and who wont be.....that's up to Him to decide...

You can't take on the sin of others. Only Jesus could do that. He had to die a terrible death and go to hell and praise God from hell to be risen on the third day by God according to the scripture. I don't see any other name in scripture that will do that. Also, he sprinkled his blood on the alter of heaven so we don't have to make sacrifice any more. No other name, but the name of JESUS.

The only way you can "take away" another persons sin is to convert them to true Christianity - where the persons sins will be automatically forgiven by God....even then, you shouldn't be the one to get credit for it.

firstly no one can take on anyones sins , every person is responsible for his/her own actions.
secondly - Let me ask you this:
if you commit murder , can your mom go to the judge & say: Please put me in jail instead of my child. What would the judge say: He would say No without even thinking about it - so how can Jesus die for other peoples sins.
What the bible is implying is that you can commit sins & you can still go to heaven because Jesus died so that you can comit sins but still be sin free. (Come on does that make sence at all)
Do some serious research on the cruxifiction of Jesus - you will find out that its not true that he died for your sins.

Light up urself. Blind cannot do much for another blind. Removing Darkness doesnot help. In Light darkness vanishes by itself. Only a lighted lamp can lighten another lamp. Sin is only a darkness.

Actually Matthew 5's sermon on the mount will give you the best indicator. Fogive debt before it owed. Forgive him that strikes you before he even does it. etc...
read the whole chapter, it is the best way to live your life.
christian or not
