How many people know, that through Jesus, and only Jesus, that all sins forgiven when we ask him ?

Question

Cliff notes questions to stir your spirit: If we choose to avoid sin, but still have times that we are not in compliance with the commandments, can we be forgiven immediately? Is this Jesus a God of punishment or undying love? After Jesus' being tortured, His dying and rising from the dead; is all sin now and forever forgiven or does Jesus have to do it again? Did Jesus' dying actually redeem all of mankind for all our future sins?

Answer 1

First, the more you learn about the Catholic faith, the more you will learn that Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence.

Confession is very clearly set forth in Scripture. See Matt. 9:8 where the authority to forgive sins "was given to men." See also John 20:21-23 where the Lord, after the Resurrection, breathes on the apostles and says "whose sins you forgive are forgiven; whose sins you retain are retained." Jesus gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins.

See also James 5:14-16. This is a verse Protestants also ignore because it doesn't fit anywhere in their theology. First, in the first two verses (14-15), James is talking about the sacrament of the sick. The priests are called and they anoint the sick person with oil and pray over him and forgive his sin (another example of man having the gift of forgiving sins). Then, in verse 16, James says "Therefore, confess your sins to one another..." By using "therefore," James is connecting verses 14-15 to 16. This means that, just as the priests are called upon to forgive sins in the sacrament of the sick, the priests are also called to forgive sins in the sacrament of confession. No Scriptural support? It is amazing how so many Protestants ignore these passages. That is because they all support the 2,000 year-old Catholic teaching.

Yes, by virtue of our baptism in Christ, we are all children of God. However, Jesus Christ established one Church which He built upon Peter (Matt. 16:18), to whom He gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven (Matt.16:18-19). Whatever the Church binds or looses on earth is bound or loosed in heaven. When you seriously study history, and the teachings of the early Church Fathers, I believe that you will see the truth of the Catholic Church as the true Church founded by Christ. You will also see where the Baptist faith came about (1,600 years after the Ascension). We don't say you are all wrong. What we believe is that the Catholic Church gives us the FULLNESS of the truth. Because of this, we have the fullness of the means of salvation (i.e., we have the seven sacraments Jesus gave us, not just one or two).

Answer 2

GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION

Hear the Gospel ~ Romans 10:17
Believe the Gospel ~ Hebrews 11:6
Repent of past sins ~ Acts 2:38
Confess Christ as the Son of God.
~ Romans 10:10
Be baptized for the remission of sins ~ Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16
Remain faithful unto death
~ Rev. 2:10

-We cannot be forgiven until we obey the Gospel of Christ as outlined above.
-Jesus loves us and is the only mediator between man and God.
-Jesus is the only sacrifice for sin, and there is no more sacrifice for sin. He will not do it again.
-Yes, through Christ all who obey the Gospel will be redeemed of sin as long as they remain faithful.

To the one who said we cannot know because we have not seen, Christian's walk by faith not by sight.

A question, how can you believe something does not exist just because you have not seen it? It takes much faith to believe NOT in something.

Answer 3

Oh, so much wrong here...

Nobody "knows" it. Nobody alive today ever saw any of those events take place, and there is no evidence of any kind that shows anybody has ever risen from the dead, is any kind of god or other supernatural being, and can forgive anybody's "sins." You might believe it very strongly -- but you don't know it.

Isn't it amazing how believers of particular myths ignore all rational evidence, and make outrageous claims of "knowledge" for things they cannot possibly know, to support their delusions? Don't you find that phenomena fascinating (and a little scary)? I do...

Peace.

Answer 4

We can be forgiven immediately. Pray this way:

Lord Jesus, reveal to me, any unconfessed sin..then as they come to your memory..ask for forgiveness of them.

Jesus and his death and resurrection settled the problem of sin once and for all..everywhere..and for all mankind until the end of the world. Past, Present and Future.

We need only to confess our sin and repent our sin.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Answer 5

Grace is not just a "Get out of Hell free card" that some think they can just go sin and keep on sinning. Jesus said go and sin no more!! We trample on God's grace by habitual sin.

Answer 6

in fact that childbirth is many times painful. consequently, interior the mythological bills written to describe the human condition, and recorded interior the Bible, an evidence is provided. i'm effective another Christians take it actually, yet i do no longer. it fairly is, whether, evidence that the originators of those commencing place-memories have been huge unsleeping that ladies have, for basically organic and organic reasons, a extra durable time than adult males, and felt the would desire to return up with an evidence.

Answer 7

Yes all of mankind who believes in him for all past, present and future sins.

Answer 8

If we are redeemed from all future sins, why does he require us to ask him for forgiveness. Wouldn't a God of Love forgive without having to be asked?

Answer 9

I know for sure that there is no such thing as sin. Jesus was a great man but he has nothing to do with our afterlife.

Answer 10

I have no sin. My gods give me no guidelines I fail to uphold.

Just because you don't understand your holy book does not change the content of my character.
