Question

If God accepted Jesus' sacrifice as payment for the sins of mankind; Then why will mankind still be punished for the crimes Jesus' sacrifice paid for?

Answer 1

ok, you lost me on that one

Jesus' sacrifice was payment for the sins of all those who come to him. Rule number one, accept Jesus as your Savior.

Answer 2

You have taken the idea of Jesus’ sacrifice too far. It’s not once for all regardless. Hitler would love for that to be true. In ancient Israel, a man could sell himself into slavery for the price of his debts. He would become an indentured servant to the one who paid the fine. His fine would be paid by another in return for years of work, but that couldn’t happen without the indebted man’s agreement. The only other option would be debtor’s prison. You have a surprising understanding for an unbeliever but you have missed one very important point. The judge, God, is in charge of this courtroom and He has a stipulation on your debt being paid. You say it doesn’t matter what you say, but it does to God. You must willingly become servant of the one who paid your fine. I can hear you now, “I have to become someone’s SLAVE? That’s not good news.” (Remember what Dylan said, ”You gonna havta serve somebody”) While slavery isn’t good news, it’s better that prison, especially if you have a good master. But the good news of Jesus isn’t slavery, its adoption. While a person facing prison would gladly take slavery, Jesus doesn’t want to be your master; he wants to adopt you into his family. He wants to become your older brother and share with you all the privileges that go with being a member of his family. Jesus’ sacrifice was once for everyone who will accept it as a free gift. Jesus hasn’t paid the price for YOUR sins until you say OK. You have to agree. That’s not a work, it’s an attitude. I hope you keep searching, because eventually you will find Him.

Answer 3

The sacrifice was payment for Adams sin. Adam refused to follow God's instruction, and he paid the price.So on our behalf we have the right to accept the offer, but that means we have to follows God's instructions, you cannot expect to receive everlasting life if you too refuse as Adam did to follow God's instructions? To know what his instruction are you have to do one thing. Read John 17:3 This is where you start. When you reach the point that you know what God's plans are for the earth and mankind, then you might have a chance for life. See Zeph 2:2,3

Answer 4

Jesus being crucified was payment for our sins was part of the deal, the other part of the deal is in order for us to grab hold of that payment we must accept Jesus as our personal savior and Honestly repent and keep from doing those things that would other wise keep us from eternal life in Heaven.

why mankind is going to pay for their crimes is because they havent accepted Jesus and repented, and are still doing things that are unjust to God.

Answer 5

Good question. Jesus' sacrifice, in effect, unlocked all the prison doors. You are now free. However, it is YOU who must open the door and walk into the light. As long as you prefer the darkness of the cell vs. the freedom in the light, who is responsible for being in bondage?

This was clearly illustrated in the Torah. In the book of Numbers the people were being bitten by vipers. Everyone was bitten and had the venom in their veins, it was just a matter of time until they died. They repented and asked God to take away the serpents. God did not do that because it would not keep them from dying. Instead, He commanded a brass serpent be mounted on a standard. Anyone who looks upon this object would not die from the venom.
Jesus said that "You must be born again" and then added, "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up."

Salvation is indeed offered to the entire world as a free gift of eternal life. You do not need to earn it, or do works to gain favor. You only need to use your free will and accept it. Otherwise, you will just abide in your prison cell by your own choice.

Answer 6

That is the error of universal atonement. If you follow that line of logic, you have people who have been completely forgiven, suffering in Hell. The Bible teaches limited atonement, that Christ's atoning work on the cross was for a particular people, the Church, whom God has called out.

"And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." (Matt.1:21)

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." (John 10:11)

"As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep." (John 10:15)

"But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you." (John 10:26)

"just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (not all or everyone) (Matt.20:28)

"For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (Matt.26:28)

Answer 7

"SINCE" God accepted.., not "IF".., it's a fact. Jesus BECAME Lord of heaven and earth when He lived the sinless life so death couldn't hold him, he died for the sins of the world WILLINGLY (He wasn't murdered), He took the keys of death and the grave away from satan, and arose from the grave ALIVE and ascended into heaven where He is now Savior and LORD of ALL.
BUT did YOU accept it by allowing Jesus to BE your payment. It YOU don't choose Him and allow it to work for you, your sin price has not been appropriated and your debt is still "on the books" so to speak, and satan still has a right to lord over you and your fate is his fate. See?
The password into the gates of heaven is: Jesus Christ is MY Lord.

Answer 8

O Bible Believers, why not you reveal your god that Jesus has paid the price of your crimes and sins?
Most of culprits, sinners, alcoholic, adulterous and transgressor Christians are being afflicted with painful torments like STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS, Hepatitis. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins, crimes and transgressions??? Or your sins, crimes and transgressions exceeded than price paid by Jesus?????

Savior
I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior…a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me” (43:11; 45:21).

Does Bible refuse to accept the Jesus as ‘Savior’ and rejects the concept of ransom of Christians’ sins and crimes?
Ezekiel 18:20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

James2:24. Ye see then how that by works a man is just

Matthew 19:16-17. "And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" "And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."

Jas 2:26. "Faith without works is Dead"

Proverbs 21:18. “The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright”

According to Bile, God and Jehovah is Savior
Isaiah 43:11. I, even I, am Jehovah; and beside me there is no savior.
1 Timothy 2:3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Isaiah 43:3. For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Isaiah 45:15. Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
1 Timothy 4:10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.
Titus 1:3. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

Answer 9

Jesus offers this gift to everyone. You need to let Him know if you accept it. He will not save anyone against their will. The payment for your sins have been paid already, no matter what is your decision.

Answer 10

Which of these statements is true?

1. Christ died for some of the sins of all men.

2. Christ died for all the sins of some men.

3. Christ died for all the sins of all men.

No one says that the first is true, for then all would be lost because of the sins that Christ did not die for. The only way to be saved from sin is for Christ to cover it with his blood.

The third statement is what the Arminians would say. Christ died for all the sins of all men. But then why are not all saved? They answer, Because some do not believe. But is this unbelief not one of the sins for which Christ died? If they say yes, then why is it not covered by the blood of Jesus and all unbelievers saved? If they say no (unbelief is not a sin that Christ has died for) then they must say that men can be saved without having all their sins atoned for by Jesus, or they must join us in affirming statement number two: Christ died for all the sins of some men.

That is, he died for the unbelief of the elect so that God's punitive wrath is appeased toward them and his grace is free to draw them irresistibly out of darkness into his marvelous light.
