Why do christians commit so may sins, that Jesus died because of their sins?

Question

Should the christians be punished?

Answer 1

jesus died for his own sins.

Answer 2

What?! Christians don't SIN. I'm SO offended that you would even think that Christians are capable of such sacrilige (sp?)

hehe. just kidding of course.

What's so sad is some Christians do place themselves in the 'perfection' category.

Christians are not sinless, they are just forgiven. Yes, because of Christ's death as a sacrifice. He took the punishment. Many wonder if He actually went to hell when he died on the cross.

We are forgiven.

But just because Jesus was sacrificed does not mean we should keep sinning, although we all do. Some more than others. That's why we've got to help and encourage each other to avoid temptations that lead ultimately to broken marriages, death, loss...etc.

Answer 3

No. I'm not a church-going type but I do believe. After the great flood of Noah, god said he would never punish man again. A lot of Christians try really hard to do what's right but temptation lies around every corner. Since god gave us free will, we have the ability to make any decision we want. Due to that, it's easier to back-slide after awhile. Some of the Ten Commandments of God are not always easy to follow. Even a little white lie like a guy would say when his wife asks him if this dress makes her look fat. Even though it's a lie and it's against the ten commandments we still don't want to hurt her feelings. So if you look at it in that light, it's difficult to always walk the straight and narrow. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and when you get saved, god expects most people to back slide a little. That's when you just try harder and repent for your sins and ask for god's help. God will not turn anyone down who asks! Wow! I kind of feel like a preacher now! Of course this is only my opinion but it's based on what I rtemember from church.

Answer 4

It's not just the Christians who commit sin.
EVERYBODY commits sin.
It's the Christians who believe Jesus forgives that sin; that's why they are called 'Christ'ian.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Answer 5

Because sins are only sins if deemed sins by certain sinners. In reality, sins that hurt people are universally sins, the other sins are not and perfectly fine to commit as anyone with half a brain could get, since no harm comes to anyone.

Answer 6

The world and all the people in it sin. Jesus died for all of us. We will all be held accountable for our individual sins. If we don't confess our sins, we will be punished. Why single out Christians? What have you got against Christians?

Answer 7

ALL sin and fall short of the glory of God. What does the word all mean- ALL MEANS ALL AND THAT IS ALL ALL MEANS. Christians admit that we are sinners, that is why we have accepted Christ as Savior. He has paid the price that we could never pay- Jesus died for your sins, too, however you have chosen, in your pride not to believe that you sin and need Him.

Answer 8

Jesus died for ALL sins, but you have to repent, and ask Him, accept Him as your personal savior. There is no purgatory, no cleansing time after death....that's heresy. That takes Jesus Christ's work at the cross and says that it wasn't good enough, and that is NOT what scripture says. If you believe that you works, sacrements, and a purgatory atone for your sins, you follow the wrong Jesus and are doomed.

As far as Christians sinning....we are still human....we are not perfect, and don't claim to be.

Answer 9

Your logic is flawed. The Christian faith did not come around until after Jesus died for ALL of man kinds sins. Even yours.

Answer 10

We "all people" are only Human, we all commit sins daily, that is why we are saved by the blood of Jesus (John 3:16), He died for us so that we may have eternal life, we are to repent of our sins and grow. We aren't perfect.... we all sin and we must learn from our sins to grow closer to Him.

God sent his only begotten Son, for a purpose, to teach us, a major major act of love for our "everyones:" Souls... not just these select few but all man kind..

We will all be punished and brought to face our sins on Judgment day, have you repented today?

Answer 11

marvelous little bit of quote mining there, Shirley. the tale of the girl caught in adultery (no longer a virgin engaged in premarital intercourse) replaced into further to the gospel years after it replaced into written. The quote of hating the mummy and dad replaced into an occasion of Jesus's customary use of hyperbole. As for the final nicely it somewhat is a theological communicate: many Christians,myself lined, have self belief that the doctrine of propitiatory atonement is blasphemous, that salvation is a contemporary of God self sustaining of the fact of the Crucifixion.
