Why do Christians says that Jesus died for their sins?

Question

How could you say that Jesus died for your sins? did Jesus said that?
Did you know that Jesus never wanted to die on the cross and he is not even willing to die for you. Haven't you read in the Bible that he was praying not to die on the cross, Read Luke 22:42 & Jesus even cried just to save him from the death in the cross. So if Jesus is willing to die for you he could never have done this things, begging for help from his father no to die and he even blame God Read it in Mark 15:34 "My God, My God" why hast thou forsaken me.

So this is really the opposite of your beliefs and the preachers are saying that he died for your sins.

A piece of advice my friend don't just depend on what the preachers or ministers are teaching you but kindly do research for yourselves and you shall find the truth, and don't be blinded by the truth.

Answer 1

Yes he did,, really why don't you try be hung to a cross and having the weight of all the sins poured on you and see how you feel.
A piece of advise for you stop with your foolish talking you don't have a clue as to what your saying ..I could care less what you think or your opinion.. I HAVE MY OWN MIND<<<
I don't need the mind of a fool

Answer 2

You are right he did cry out and ask God that if this mission could be removed from him then he would like it to be so but he followed with never the less not my will (Jesus) but yours(God) be done. Jesus did die on the cross to save us from our sins. He was the once and final sacrifice for the sins of the world. When he cried out on the cross "My God , My God why hast thou forsaken me" it was because that was the first time God had ever turned his face from Jesus. A perfect God cannot look on sin and at the moment of his death Christ became sin for us so that we could be saved. Don't take small sections of the scripture that you don't understand and then try to use them as an argument against Christianity. A piece of advice my friend don't speak about or instruct a group on subject matter that you do not know about and expect them to take you at your word as some sort of authority on the subject. Good day and God Bless.

Answer 3

Firstly, Jesus did want to die so he could enter into his glory in heaven, but it had to be done the way it happened (Luke 24:44). We know this because he says so in Luke 24:26, "Was it not necessary that the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?"
In regards to his prayer in Luke 22:42, is it not possible that the cup of suffering is the pain he feels because he has to leave the disciples and the poor and lost of this world?
In regards to him blaming God for his death, that is quite wrong. One of the little tricks Jesus seemed to use was to quote from the Old Testament. In this particular case the quote is from Psalm 22. This isn't just a party trick, it was to show that he was the Messiah / Christ. It was to prove that he was fulfilling a prophecy.
As you can see, I have done my own research. I didn't get this from any website or out of any book (expect the Bible).

Answer 4

It should be remembered that Jesus did not need to pray, but did so for those around Him. Read John 11:42

"And I knew that thou hearest me always: BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHICH STAND BY I SAID IT, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Jesus on the night that He was betrayed, took upon Himself the punishment of hell, for all His people. It was not merely a symbolic death - what was happening in the Garden of Gethsemane was the beginning of this tremendous punishment which would astonish the soul. Our small minds have no way to comprehend this event.

Jesus made the statement, if there be any way TO SHOW US that God in His infinite knowledge knew there was no other way. A blood sacrifice was needful, the punishment equal to all His people spending an eternity in hell would be required! That only Jesus (the third person of the Trinity) would be able to take such a punishment and come out on the other side.

Answer 5

The Old Testament tells us that God appeared as a human being on several occasions. If Jesus wanted only to heal and teach, he could have simply appeared. But he did more: he became a human. Why? So he could die. To understand Jesus, we need to understand his death. His death is a crucial part of the gospel and something all Christians should know.

Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). He came to give his life, to die, and his death would purchase salvation for others. This was the primary reason he came to earth. His blood was poured out for others (Matthew 26:28).

Jesus warned his disciples that he would suffer and die, but they didn’t seem to believe it. “Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ‘Never, Lord!’ he said. ‘This shall never happen to you!’” (Matthew 16:21-22).


Jesus knew that he must die, because the Scriptures said so. “Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?” (Mark 9:12; 9:31; 10:33-34). “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself…. ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day’” (Luke 24:26-27, 46).

It had all been according to God’s plan: Herod and Pilate did only what God “had decided beforehand should happen” (Acts 4:28). In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked if there might be some other way, but there was none (Luke 22:42). His death was necessary for our salvation.

Answer 6

No you are obviously not Christian and are trying to make people question their beliefs, but you did not mention that Jesus cried out to His Father (God) only to ask if their be another way to save the sinners of the world from going to hell, like everyone would if Jesus did not die on the cross. Once Jesus knew their was no other way, he accepted that He would die in order to save us, any one who as been born again. Jesus could have easily sent "A legion of angels" to take him off of that cross, but he knew He had to die for us, and its all because he loved us. Your story doesn't match up. Nice try but your not getting any converts.

How are you all so blind, do you want to get to hell? I suggest you get saved or you will be very sorry come Judgement Day.

Answer 7

Boy, you really got that twisted up! Jesus did take the sins of the world onto Himself at the cross. However, he was born as a man, and as such, felt fear of enduring the coming ordeal. Having seen others crucified and knowing what a horribly painful and violent death awaited, would have scared me and you too. When Jesus entreated God not to forsake Him it was because at that point that He felt alone. God had to turn away from Him because God cannot look upon sin. Even though Jesus was scared, He knew what had to be done and endured it fully because He understood the importance of His sacrifice.

Answer 8

If you would go on to read the entire passage, you will see that even though in his humanity that Jesus did not want to die, he went on to say, Not my will, but yours be done. He knew why he was sent to earth. It was to die for our sins. Being human, he did not want to face death, but being the Son of God, he knew he had to so he did. Jesus did in fact die for my sins and for yours. All you have to do is accept him.

A piece of advice for you. Read the entire passage before you start mis-quoting the bible and taking things out of context. The truth doesn't blind. The truth sets free.

Answer 9

Relax dear, it's just a nice fairy tale....

"Christianity was the ultimate product of religious syncretism in the ancient world. Its emergence owed nothing to a holy carpenter. There were many Jesuses but the fable was a cultural construct. Nazareth did not exist in the 1st century AD – the area was a burial ground of rock-cut tombs. Following a star would lead you in circles. The 12 disciples are as fictitious as their master, invented to legitimise the claims of the early churches. The original Mary was not a virgin. That idea was borrowed from pagan goddesses.

Scholars have known all this for more than 200 years but priestcraft is a highly profitable business and finances an industry of deceit to keep the show on the road. "Jesus better documented than any other ancient figure" ? Don't believe a word of it. Unlike the mythical Jesus, a real historical figure like Julius Caesar has a mass of mutually supporting evidence."

Answer 10

Jesus did die for our sins, all of our sins, mine and yours. It did not matter whether you believe or not, he still died for all of us. Of course, he did not want to, who wants to die. But he was willing to make that sacrafice for us. If you saw your child drowning and you knew you were not a good swimmer, you would still jump in to try and save your child. Even if if meant you would die, because you love your child so much you would be willing to give up your life for them. Same thing, Jesus loves us so much he was willing to do something that he did not really want to do. Not hard to understand when someone becomes a christian and sees the light.
