Jesus has already died for the sins of mankind?

Question

does this mean the 10 commandments are no longer & haven't been in effect since he died?? Is there such a thing as sin anymore or has the word 'sin' been replaced with the word 'crime'
And when the supposed 2nd coming of Christ happens---do you think he is going to die too---and just what would he die for

Answer 1

Jesus died to pay for the sins of HIS people:

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.' - Matthew 1:21.

As far as the 10 commandments, they were part of the moral laws of the Old Testament:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." - 2 Timothy 3:16,17.

The moral laws were given to us for our instruction and should still be followed; the moral laws were different than the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament, the ceremonial laws pertained to things such as new moons, feast days, blood sacrifices, new moons, animal sacrifices and so forth, these things were a "shadow" of things to come, fullfilled and nailed to the cross by the LORD Jesus Christ:

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." - Colossians 2:16,17.

Answer 2

the commandments are still legitimate today - to point us to the fact that we sin. You are right, that Jesus already died for the sins of mankind- but that does not mean everyone will experience forgiveness. WHY? Not because God does not want the whole world to come to the knowledge of the truth, but because some chose not to believe that Jesus is the payment for their sin. Some do not believe in sin- so therefore they have condemned themselves already to hell- Salvation is through the blood of Christ alone- however as it is a free gift- a gift has to be taken to be redeemed. Jesus rose from the dead, to give us victory over sin, and to NEVER die again- so Jesus' 2nd coming will be when He takes those who belong to Him, to be with Him forever. Sin is forgiven when we accept His payment for sin, after we die or Jesus comes whichever first, there is no more chances. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!

Answer 3

The Ten Commandments are the core of the Law. Even atheists agree that it makes sense logically except for the God part. Jesus said That He is the FULFILLMENT of the law meaning, anyone who agrees with Christ UNDERSTANDS that these commandments or moral codes are essential to not only Christian lives but the lives of all humanity. Just imagine the improved quality of life the world would enjoy if everyone would voluntarily followed these commandments.
Hmm, you are getting some really good answers! I think Jonathan really sums it up nicely.

Answer 4

We are taught that Jesus died for our sins.

It's a means to justify the church doings for crucifying him. Otherwise if the church was in the wrong, why would anyone follow them? To say God needed his son to die for our sins is a pagan belief that was continued from old into the papers of new.

Righteousness implies that God is the source of the moral law of the universe. Truth exhibits God as a revealer, as a teacher. But love gives and craves affection, seeks understanding fellowship such as exists between parent and child. Righteousness may be the divine thought, but love is a father's attitude. The erroneous supposition that the righteousness of God was irreconcilable with the selfless love of the heavenly Father, presupposed absence of unity in the nature of Deity and led directly to the elaboration of the atonement doctrine, which is a philosophic assault upon both the unity and the free-willness of God.

Answer 5

as we proved through the time of Christ (and since) we can not keep the 10 commandments... so His death covered than inability and now, as we love and live for Christ, the 10 commandments are a fruit of that relationship and our desire to live lives pleasing to Him... "faith without works is dead" = if your faith is real, the fruit of that faith will be evident in your works.

sin is missing the mark, and still occurs, but when we accept the sacrifice made in Jesus' death, our sins are not held against us.

when He comes the 2nd time, He will not come the same way... as as He proclaimed on the cross the first time, "it is finished", there is no reason for Him to die again... (and i don't think that He can die now being in His glorified form)

Answer 6

The ten commandments still are in force as a means of disclosing righteous and unrighteous conduct. What is removed in Christ is the whole system of Law as a basis of coming into right standing with God. The Law has proven all men transgressors of law, and concluded all to be guilty. A person is put into right relationship with God by faith in the atoning death of Christ, through Whom God has reconciled the world to Himself.
Those who believe this from the heart undergo that transformation of nature referred to in Scripture as being "born again", or "born of the Spirit". These now begin to serve God from the heart, out of gratitude, no longer trying to save themselves, but accepting the gift of salvation that is in Christ.
The Law, as embodied briefly in the ten commandments, is made for lawbreakers; not for the righteous.

With respect to your second question, He says this:
"I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." Revelation 1:18

Answer 7

Think of sins as a crime...the crime of disobeying the legitimate authority of God. People who break the law are "antisocial" meaning that they don't have what it takes to interact socially with people in a positive way. That's why we separate them from society when they break the law.

People who break God's laws don't have the ability to interact with him..."sin" separates them from God and this separation begins on earth and continues to eternity.

Jesus offered to pay for the eternal consequences of sin...that if we would accept his sacrifice, he would "pay our fine" so we could have a relationship with God again. Sort of like a police office (or Dog the Bounty Hunter) who arrests someone for breaking the law but then offers to "go to bat for them" with the judge later after the person expresses sincere remorse for their mistake.

No, the 10 commandments aren't invalid...they were and still are a great way of practicing God's basic commandment through Jesus...Love god and love each other as I have loved you. Commandments 1 through 4 explain how to love God and commandments 5 through 10 explain how to love each other!

Sin still exists as do the heavenly AND earthly consequences of sin. Those that accept the sacrifice of Jesus can live knowing that ultimate consequence (eternal separation from God) has been paid, but they still need to follow God's instructions in the 10 commandments (and elsewhere) to avoid the earthly consequences of those sins AND to store up "treasures" that they CAN take with them when they go!

Answer 8

Big Q is a idiot, he knows nothing ! The ten commandments are basic rules and apply to every day life. they will never go outta date. Well when Jesus comes i hope he doesn't have to die again, he would obviously die for our sins ! Or the atheists and people wouldn't believe him again and they would probably try to kill him, because society is corrupted !!

Answer 9

There is still sin. Jesus even said to His own disciples, "“If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” And after he encouraged those to not stone the adulterer but show mercy upon her, he told her to leave her life of sin.

As far as the work that still needs to be done, Paul wrote, “Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.”

Answer 10

jesus came to die for the sins of the world, the ones that had been and the ones you are about to make in your life, he came to show us how to give it all for the rest, for your brothers, he showed us how to live and how to die. he came down as the son of God and showed his people the way.

By the way I am not a fanatic of Christ, I am just answering the question.
I believe in God and I believe in living your life the best way you can trying to get by helping others and trying not to hurt people.
