Nope I do not, you have to be a Christian to believe that.
They love for you to believe that and then threaten you with eternal damnation and hell if you disagree and do not repent. some loving forgiving faith. None of them are really the main faiths.
Sin does not exist, good and bad does, morals do. so live a morally good life and you will do just fine in my opinion.

Only works if you actively repent of those sins which means acknowledging what you did wrong, making restitution as best as possible, and the most important part, not doing it again! You also need to be living a christlike life, which mostly means charity!!!
Just paying lipservice and claiming you believe in Christ and the atonement doesnt do you any good. If you believed it then you would be living it, which means doing the actions.
Faith without the works is MEANINGLESS!!!!

Q: "Do you believe that Christ died for "your" sins...?"
===
No, I do not believe that Christ died for my sins. I believe he SUFFERED for my sins in the Garden of Gethsemane. I believe he DIED because the Jews killed him! I believe it was necessary that he died, but he could have died another way. Since he was a mortal man, he had power to lay his life down. And since he was God, he had power to raise it up again, and thus break the bands of physical death in an "eternal" sense (being God).
No, Jesus didn't die for my sins. He suffered in the Garden over them, and over everybody's sins. But he didn't die for anyone's sins. I know it's not the intention of people to wrongly associate his death, to their redemption, but I believe that his death had little to do with redemption, which redemption was "worked out" by him in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he bled from every pore with great drops of blood.
I believe he suffered more in the Garden than he did on the cross. For it was there that he said "Father, it if be thy will, won't you let this cup pass from me?" He was really in pain, but he knew he had to do it for us. This was where he suffered for the sins of those who will repent.
But did he say anything like this when he was on the cross??? No.
Just keeping it real.

I thought I was a troll. Isn't that some one that trolls through here looking for a soul to save?
If so I am.
I believe that Jesus had me in mind while He hung on that tree. With all my heart and mind.

I not only believe this, but I wholeheartedly accept His free gift of salvation. If it were not for Jesus dying and taking my debt for the penalty of sin, I would never see the Kingdom of Heaven and would die in my sins. To refuse Jesus and His salvation, is to refuse forgiveness and eternal life with Him in Heaven. I thank God for His provision thru His Son, Jesus Christ!!

No, Jesus actually died for Adam's sin, the sinful nature we all inherited from him. Jesus earned the right to judge our efforts to overcome the power of our sinful nature.

Christ died because he was murdered by the Jews that didnt like his teachings,and to try to stop him making the people free from religion/slavery

Well that basically summarizes it, yes.
Why are you so worried about being a troll?
