I thought yahoo answers were for minor questions, not to figure out the problems of the world. Or the boring problems.

In cases where somebody in the church is involved through the church in crimes like this and the church does anything to cover it up like moving the person to a different place or ignores reports or not letting the police know of the reports and stuff like that then they are in part responsible for anything that happens after they could of done something to stop it. And i think Jesus just paid for sins already committed according to the bible and, don't take things to literally.

P.s. Please correct me if i'm wrong on the last part.

Also about the part of jesus paying for our sins i don't really think one persons death, even that of the son of god, can truly atone for others sins.

God has displayed his love by providing his Son, Jesus Christ, who gave up his human life as a ransom sacrifice. This enables obedient humans to be freed from the condemnation of sin and death that resulted from Adam’s disobedience. The ransom has opened the way to everlasting life for all who exercise faith in Jesus.—John 3:16.
This does not mean that Mankind is Sinless from the Day Jesus gave up his life.

I say. You just do not understand what it means in paying for our sins. Are you still trying to learn things around you?

It means the death of Jesus Christ when he was crucified by the Jews. His life was made as sacrifice in saving the sins of mankind inorder to know that mankind have committed sin against God. The payment there is the sacrifice of his life to us b ut not the things which you have mentioned in your question. and comments. it is not on monetary condition . Understand Now? OK? Do you feel matured now to understand? Or still young that you could not understand simple english.

Good question.
A follow up might be: Do you really want to go to a heaven populated by pedophiles and the likes of Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell?

Just because you go to church doesn't mean you're following Christ. But then you knew that, and really, you're not asking a question more than just complaining about an organization, right?

What does a cash payment from a church have to do with the payment Jesus Christ paid on the cross? All sin has been paid for though Christ's death on the cross.

And there are eternal outcomes for our misdeeds no remember in case you renowned that reality or not. you may choose for to take finished accountability to your individual eternal destiny. you have loose will. i might fairly not spend all eternity identifying to purchase something i'm unable to in any respect pay in finished.
