Christians say that christ died for their sins....?

Question

What are these sins that they commit and are they so henious that they needed someone to die for 2000 years ago?

Sparki... there was no adam and eve.

I see no christians are admitting to any sins, they're putting the blame on others (adam eve, their fore fathers etc) They must all live pious and holy lives... my **** they do!

Paulo, I don't regard any of the bad things I've done as sins. They may have hurt other people and some of them I couldn't give a toss about. But as for offending god.... Nah. He's not real you see

Jeannomm, yes I heard about the ten commandmentsm they're the one that if you brak them you go to hell for all eternity... but god loves you. Laughable. Oh yeahm I broke most of them and really enjoyed myself doing so.

Answer 1

Apparently Jesus even died for little, white lies.

The funny thing is, what was so special about Jesus' sacrifice?

1) He got his life back.
2) I would do the same thing for just one person to avoid eternal torment.
3) So he was perfect...big deal. He was a god. And even if he wasn't, how hard could it be to keep from sinning when you have BEEN with your god? When there is NO doubt?
4) God could have just said, "Eh, yeah, you guys can come to Heaven. No need for any pointless suffering, right?" I guess that wouldn't quench his blood-thirst, though.

...and this is all assuming that he actually was the son of a god. (not)

Answer 2

Definition of Sin - Breaking of the Laws of God.

Majority of what we might call main-stream Christians are in sin continually according to Scripture. The one test commandment is to keep the Sabbath day holy.
Well, the Sabbath day has never been on a Sunday -according to Scripture.
Sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday is the Scriptural Sabbath day. Often called a Jewish Sabbath.
The Roman Emperor Constantine ruled that the day of rest should be on a Sunday at the Nicene Council in A.D. 325.
The reason being to distance Rome from the true church that Christ started. Today this Roman Church is called Catholic and was originally started in Samaria by a somewhat charismatic chap by the name of Simon - It borrowed the name of Christ but is based on the Babylonian mystery religion.
There are of course many other ways to break the law, and very few there appear to be that actually try their best to live by it. Just have a look at the world around you.

As the penalty for sin is death - spiritual, as well as physical - total destruction. Then the majority of mankind needs a being of greater worth than us all to pay that penalty.

Just because Jesus Christ paid the penalty does not mean that we can all carry on sinning. If we know the law and consistently continue to break it then His sacrifice will not save you or me.

Jesus Christ was and is the ''firstfruit'' or first born into the family of God. The head of that family is looking for additions to that family - again not main-stream Christian thinking.

To be considered means leaving the ways of this world behind you and charting a new way. Anyone that does can expect a fairly rough ride.
Why - Because the ways of God are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

Due to the way your question was formulated, I doubt if this answer will help you a great deal.
It may, however, plant a seed?

Answer 3

You say that there was no Adam and Eve. Well actually because of Adam and Eve's disobedience, we all inherited the sin nature. We are ALL sinners. Any of us can be homosexuals, murders, fornicators, thieves, adulterers, gossipers, addicts, gluttons or liars. Probably even more than one of those. We all posses this sin nature, which causes us all to be born separated from God and do the things that He has told us not to do for our own good.

Jesus came to the earth for the purpose of becoming the blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. Those of us who will choose Him as our Lord and Savior and repent (which means to turn away from sin), will be given the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life with God. When we choose Jesus, God declares us blameless. This is called justification (just as if I’d never sinned) .

God doesn't want anyone to be lost. He loves us so much even though we are born sinners. He has provided Jesus’ sacrifice for us while we are still sinners.

Not choosing Jesus is the only way that we remain separated from God. After choosing Jesus as our Lord and Savior, It is then, our job to stay filled with the Holy Spirit that He has given to Christians (those who have accepted Jesus) for the help we need to obey Him.

God sanctifies us which means He makes us holy. Sanctification is living every day in light of who we are in Christ. It is practiced purity which is a challenge, especially in the culture in which we live.

Prayer, submitting and obedience is what God has ask us to do for our benefit.

Turning our backs on sin and coming to Jesus for love, salvation, leadership and forgiveness is the way to have a better life here, a renewed relationship with God and the promise of Heaven. The only way.

Answer 4

If you truly want to know more about God and Jesus then try an alpha course - they are free and you can ask as many challenging questions as you want.

EDIT: and to answer your question very briefly (otherwise I will take up a whole page on YA). Start with Adam and Eve and go from there

EDIT: Dominic I am not 'blaming' Adam and Eve as such I am merely stating that is where u can start and yes I have sinned in my past and sometimes make mistakes now - I was in no way denying it

Answer 5

Dominic, hi. How are you? I will try my best to answer your question. God's Word tells us that ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. It also tells us that "none are good, no not one." If you examine people you will see that that is absolutely true. There is not one person on this earth that has not told some sort of lie, stolen something whether it be big or small, thought a mean thought about someone else, lusted after someone, well the list go on. The truth is, you will not find one person on this earth that is absolutely perfect. But, Jesus Christ was absolutely perfect. Satan tried to tempt Him, He never faltered. Jesus is the epitome of perfection, because He is God's only begotten Son. God sent perfection to us, because He knew that no one was perfect. Before Jesus, people had to sacrifice animals to make atonement for their sins. But, Jesus became the Ultimate sacrifice. He died on that cross for the people who lived before Him and every person that has been born since then. We no longer have to sacrifice animals, Jesus made atonement for our sin. When we accept Him, we are accepting what He has done for us and we are living everyday trying walk in His footsteps.
I have answered your question to the best of my ability. I hope it has given you some insight.

Answer 6

according to Christian's or at least this one

that we are born with a sin nature

example of this

take two toddler's and put them in a room then drop 10 toy's
on the floor. One will grab One the other will want the toy the other child has no matter how many of them are on the floor
a display of selfishness and covet.

and by that Sin nature we are condemned but through him we are set free from that and are through his righteousness are able to go before god and be worthy

but you have to believe in god already for any of that to mean anything to you.

you have to already except that fact your are born this way
other wise it's just noise

Answer 7

I have a ton of sins..I mess up every day. I am glad I have a Savior. No matter how hard I try I have a very human nature. You don't have to believe, it is your right not to. It's my right to believe. I don't know what you are looking for in the way of an answer..but I hope you find it.

Answer 8

I don't have the time or the space to list all my heinous sins here and now, but believe me - they are legion! I can only thank God for His mercy and free gift - salvation through my faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you are so good you never even needed a Savior, my hats off to you!

Answer 9

I looked in the mirrior and decided that I am not two thousand years old. Nor do I look it. And the fact that jesus was said to have been born long before me, what chance have I had to commit sin when he was supposed to have been born before I have ever had the chance of committing any...not thatI believe in sin to bein with.

Answer 10

Christ died for all sins. I don't know what henious is, but if your meaning is sin so awful that we needed a redeemer, then the answer is yes! In Gods eyes sin was so awful that man needed a redeemer to be forgiven for those sins. So he himself supplied that redeemer for us. He himself became man which was Jesus Christ and paid the sin debt for us so we could be forgiven for our sins and have eternal life with Him.

Answer 11

Yes He did; Man" Righteousness or Works are
like filthy Rags in the sight of God;Being "Good"
will not get You into Heaven;

These things you mentioned,Have caused a Gulf between God and Man; Jesus is the Way to meet a Holy God,He Bridged the Gulf;
