Why accept Jesus? Is God just?

Question

So why should I give Jesus credit if I wasn't born back then? He didn't die for Asians, Blacks, Native Americans, and etc. He just died for Jews and Caucasians who crucified him. The groups I named didn't even know he existed at that time. So you can't claim that he died for my ancestors so that I could be born.

Also how is God just if he vents his anger? He banished angels who pleaded for Lucifer, did he not? Also he allows bad people to go to heaven if they repent while good people who live honest lives go to hell. Thats really just. God should appreciate those who do good for others other than worshiping him. Its selfish, he should have people thank him when they meet.

So enlighten me.

Answer 1

Because...
1. Jesus loves you. He proved His love for you by dying on the cross for your sins. He died NOT ONLY for the sins of the Jewish people and the Caucasians....He died for you & for me, too.
"For God so loved the world...." (John 3:16)

2. Only Jesus is qualified to save us from our sins. He was God Who became Man, to die for us. God can not die, so He loved you & I so much that He took on human form to die for us. He was also the ONLY SINLESS Man who ever lived.

" . . . because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:21-24)

3. God is just and holy. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God's only Son, Who became the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, His laws are satisfied. Thus mankind can be saved if they put their faith in Jesus, the Saviour of the world.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ." (Romans 6:23)

Edit: responding to mammon..
That is a false teaching....only Jehovah's Witnesses believe this. It is not biblical.

Answer 2

How about that all of this is just a myth? Jesus existed as a man, that was it. He was a human being, nothing more. He died and he is dead, that is it, just like the billions of other people who have died.

As far as God, whether he exists or is also a myth, I don't know. I think you will be better off in life trying to be a good person, regardless of what happens or doesn't happen after you die. Unfortunately, no one has ever come back to tell us what it was like to be dead. I wish I knew.

Under the impossible situation that Christianity is true, it makes no sense to me that I should be punished for not accepting Jesus. In large part what people believe is based on the family they were born into, which they have no control over. I can't imagine God would have me burn in hell because I picked the wrong thing to believe or not believe.

Answer 3

First, I'm not sure why you are dragging race into the equation. Christian theology has absolutely nothing to do with race. And I'm not sure if you are serious, but Christian theology also maintains that Jesus died for everyone, not just for the descendents of those who knew about the event.

As for Lucifer, the name only appears once in Scripture, and it talking about the king of Babylon, not some mythological Archangel who was cast out of heaven. You would have a hard time demonstrating that Satan even exists in the Bible, let alone that angels pleaded for him before God. The only passage in the Bible that even remotely personifies Satan is in a book that also talks about ten-headed dragons with giant prostitutes on their backs, women clothed with the sun, and a man on a throne who looks like a bundle of shiny gem stones.

There is also no precedent for the idea that people go to hell for not worshiping God. That isn't found anywhere in Scripture. In fact, the Bible says the exact opposite. It says that Christians, Jews and Pagans will all be judged according to what they did to other people, not according to what they believed or who they worshiped. According to the Bible, even non-believers have the commandments of God written on their hearts, and are perfectly capable of doing good and entering into the kingdom of heaven. Even Jesus told the religious leaders of his day that the pagans were entering the Kingdom of heaven before them.

Answer 4

Jesus died for white, black, Mexican, Asian, native American etc... there is nowhere in the Bible or any other holy book that states that Jesus only died for only Caucasians or Jews. You don't know who is going to heaven or hell so how can you say this....
"Also he allows bad people to go to heaven if they repent while good people who live honest lives go to hell. ". They didn't plead for Lucifer, they followed him because he was a natural leader and persuaded them to turn against god. They faught in the battle against Gods angels and got banished to hell. Lucifer's followers chose with there minds. God didn't choose for him. Don't lose your faith, believe. I will pray for you. God Bless

Answer 5

Jesus did not just die for the Jews. He died for everyone, with everyone in mind. He is the Son of God and he loves you, and he would have gone through it all just for you if you were the only person on earth. * He did not die so you could be born* He did because He did not want you to spend eternity in hell. He made us to be with him, but when Adam and Eve sinned, God can't be with sin, that is why he had to put them out of the garden. *We all came from Adam and Eve did me not... Or Abraham... any that you would like to trace back to.

God doesn't vent his anger. he banished Satan because he thought he could be greater than God. He was wrong, and he kicked him out of heaven. That's not venting anger. And those who liked Satan, followed him.

Yes, God allows people to go to heaven even though they've sinned. We've all sinned, we've all done bad things, we need to come to the point of confessing, where we admit that we are wrong, and that we need help. And God does not send those who believe in Him, and have accepted Him in there heart, and have a relationship with him to go to hell. He would never do that. * Good deeds are not enough to get you into heaven. Like I said before, we need to repent, and come to the point where we can admit that we were wrong. and that we sinned. If we didn't do anything wrong... why would he die on the cross? ***** God doesn't MAKE anyone do anything. If you want to go to heaven, you have to love Him and have your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life. He's never going to force you to do anything. You can choose to worship him or not, but it's all your choice. IT all is left up to you.

Just have to put this out there: What do us Christians have to lose if we're wrong? *Well, we get a little persecution on earth, but nothing too hard to handle. and we die and nothing happens... that would be if we were wrong. But what if you're wrong? What if there's more? what if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for? If you're wrong, then it'll cost you your eternity... and you will live the rest of your life in suffering.

God Bless you friend. Have a good night

Answer 6

you should convert to Catholicism. That way every year you can contribute ten percent of your yearly income to the holy cause of the great corporation/cult of Catholicism, led by Pope Benedict the Nazi....

but really:
Science is a free religion, and the only constraint on it is the amount of logic you have and the limitations of the technology of the day.

Religion was thought up to replace the gaps in explanation of life that science could not fill. Hence, Greek and Roman mythology, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Taoism, Hinduism, and many others. All of these religions seek to answer the fundamental question of creationism. Unfortunately, there is very little logic that relates to 21st century life in any of these religions, and if not indoctrinated at a young age, one might find it difficult to believe in these feats. Yes, I acknowledge the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, but I have no evidence of any more power from God within him than within myself.

Stick with science. It is changing to adapt to modern ideas (something religion has trouble with), and it is logical. It is also constantly progressing. In conclusion, Jesus Christ is no more your savior than Vishnu, or Mohammad, or Moses, or my neighbor's pet Chihuahua.

P.S.
GO AHEAD... FLAME ME CHRISTIANS

Answer 7

You should give somebody credit for the stars, earth, the universe and things of that nature. He died for anyone who believes in a Higher something than themselves. That encompasses a multitude of people. He did not die for the Jews, although they were the ones who crucified Him. It was Jews who screamed for Pilate, a Roman officer, to kill Jesus instead of a thief or whatever the guy was. The groups that were named "did" know who He was, but just as people are today, we will crucify someone who dares to make us look at the man in the mirror, which by the way He did. The Hebrews aka the Jews ( which by the way was just one tribe of Jacob/Israel's clan) had the edict from God to follow His commands and then teach them to all of the other sons of Adam on the earth. So Jesus did indeed die for all of those sons of Adam and sons of Israel, and those who were called Gentiles, who sinned by transgressing the law. For to sin is to transgress Gods law.

If you really look at God he only gets pissed when you do the obvious stupid stuff without thinking who it will hurt. Like the angels who followed Satan, they listened to the talk at him with his big dreams saying that he would ascend higher than God, and they believed him, just like Eve did by the way. God was their previous employer, and they knew how He worked, and they still believed the hype, just as people do today. I cant see how you think God is unjust when He only gave Adam and Eve on thou shall not, and that was to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Other than that, they had free reign of the entire hemisphere where they lived, no less. It is called dominion. They were going to be like God after He had schooled them in case you missed that, because when He banished them He blocked the way for them to get back to Him, and the serpent told Eve that the tree would be pleasant to the eye, good for food, and to make one wise. He even told her that God didn't want her to be as smart as He was.

If you can show me one time in the book where any dead person ever went to heaven, that would be one of the greatest feats on the planet. Only One went to heaven, the same one who came down from there. When you die, you are dead, if not, how come you can exume a body, and it still be there and you can take DNA off of it?

There is only fire and brimstone for those who dont follow the laws, statues, and commandments. It is a mandate that you do good in life, not a choice, whim or emotion. All things are provided for you in this life before you get here. To do good for others is easy, or at least it should be. Sounds as if you are the one who may have a little vanity going here, not God... you thank God when you follow His laws and do good to His people.

Now, you have been enlightened.

Answer 10

is the following a leap or is this easy (for me it used to be a leap but now its quite easy)........conceeding that it is so complex that a human mind cannot see enough of it to grasp it. God makes the best decisions possible and he can see the big picture. can you see the big picture? how would you like to try to explain a cell phone to a person from the 1600's.
exactly how much do you think you know? trust god. he will handle it.
