If he died for our sins, past, present and future...for all humans, well sins cannot be that bad. With all the sins that have been commited, each one must count for very little otherwise Jesus should have been tortured, for decades to clean the slate?

Jesus didn't die according to the bible. He was crucified yes,but he came back in the flesh and exists today. Jesus was/is god. How does a god die?So what did he really sacrifice?Yet another paradox

As you probably know, at the end of the world, Jesus will come down to earth in order to judge all humans - dead of alive. According to this, I presume that sins will not continue to happed for an unknown time. Sins will end when the world as we know it will end. God and Jesus know this date. Therefore the sins Jesus died for (even the ones to come) have been taken in account.

That's the Good News my friend! Jesus was tortured beyond what anything we can imagine and it is worse because he did no wrong. But He had to take our sins because judgement will come and everyone will have to face judgement with God for their own sins. But those that believe and accept Jesus Christ as Lord are forgiven. But the grace from Jesus is still standing, but time is running out. You have to accept it or deny it the choice is yours. Jesus came into this world not to condemn but to save. The truth is that God SO loved the world he gave up his own son Jesus Christ that whosoever believeth in Him will have eternal life and not perish. THE CHOICE IS YOURS MY FRIEND.

Jesus paid a price that was greater then torture. He died. Generally speaking, that can only be done once, and that it is over. Just like a person does not have to spend months in the electric chair or the gas chamber to be executed.

Jesus died to destroy the power of evil, so that our sins could be forgiven.
His atoning sacrifice accomplished all that was necessary to reconcile man with God, but it explicitly did not pay the full price for the collective sins of all mankind.
St. Paul explains that Jesus' sacrifice covered all PAST sins:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned and do need the glory of God.
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins ...
Contrition, coupled with authentic repentance, has always typically been required to receive forgiveness of sins from God.
Before our redemption in Christ, mankind was enslaved to Satan, and so could not repent, even if he chose to do so.
Today, in these new covenant times of super adundant grace and mercy, forgiveness is available to all, subject to the usual conditions.
There is no free pass ... there is no license to sin ... and there is no automatic forgiveness for sin.
If this were not the case, then Jesus would be in hell right now, serving all of our sentences, and no man could ever be sent there, as our debt would have already been paid.
There would also be little need for the church, or for faith, baptism, grace, the bible, or most anything else.
The final proof that Jesus did not intend to do it all is that death still exists in the world.
If Jesus had paid the full price for the sins of mankind, then death would be no longer, as death is the primary penalty for sin.
There is still plenty of work to be done, and that work remains as the primary purpose of every Christian's existence, until Jesus comes again.

I like the way you think. You can twist the myth of Jesus dying for all our sins into so many different things. This really bothers devote Catholics because to them you are not interpreting it in the right way.

As Jesus removed ALL Sin from the World, we are all free of SIN - therefore, we can never commit a SIN...

1st Jesus only died for the sins of His people.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
compare with...
John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
2nd there was more going on at the cross then what was being down physically - Jesus was spiritually undergoing the punishment of God.
Isaiah 55
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Y ou need to understand the whole concept of atonement.
Your thinking is in human terms and doesn't compute when thinking spiritually.
It was not just for sin that he died. It was to be resurrected that we might share in his glory and experience a rebirth.
