Doesn't the bible teach us that we die because of original sin?

Question

Then how is it that Christ could die if he didnt have original sin?

Answer 1

Lol

Answer 2

I like your question and would find it interesting reading the different replies.
Jesus Christ was the sinless Lamb of God that came and took away all our sins (past, present and future) through His water baptism and blood on the Cross (1 John 5: 6-13). The reason why the Church has become just a normal worldly gathering without any power is because they have left out the baptism of Jesus and only believe in the Cross. They by doing this have made God a liar and mock Him every time they gather together. In John 1:29, John the Baptist when seeing Jesus who he baptized the day before cried out,
'Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world'. We must understand what the sins of the world means.
I therefore invite you to read the first book in the series about being born again by the water and the Spirit.

        No, the Bible teaches us that we die (the first death) because death was brought into the world by one man -- Adam. That is not the same thing as the concept of "original sin" (which, Biblically, there is really no such thing). (The concept of "original sin" was created by the papal system and is not actually found in the Bible.) We are born with a sinful nature but we do not die because of that sinful nature. The first death is not in payment for sin -- but a sleep awaiting the Judgment (Psalm 13:3; John 11:13; Hab 1:12; Heb. 9:27).

        The Bible teaches that we die the second death (Rev. 2:11; 20:6; 20:14; 21:8) because of our impenitent sins. Christ died the second death, for us, by bearing the penalty of all sin. But that payment, though offered to all, can only be claimed by those whom actually accept the death of Jesus as their own. Through the Sacrificial System (before the Cross), Christ's Death was accepted by proxy. Christ's Death was promised as "the Lamb which was slain from the foundation of the world." (Rev. 13:8)

God bless.

Answer 4

Believers claimed Jesus or even God is perfect and cannot sin. Sin as one now know are opinions of an action.

God killing babies during the flood is not a sin?

Or telling a man to kill his son not a sin?

Creates a Satan and then cast him on earth is not a sin as God could have cast him on the moon instead as if Satan cannot travel in space?

You see, Jesus and God which is the same God would be very sinful to most people who do not believe in Christianity religion.

Just like Hitler is not an evil man to many Germans. Same thing for any God to their believers. That is what evil or sin is all about. It is about a view they have on any person or thing or spirit or God or even Gods.

I just wish humans were a little bit more intelligent on this earth to build a better world instead of worshipping these supertitous men made up entities.

Answer 5

If you are an atheist like you say how can you allow yourself to be so confused over something written by other humans in a book referring to activities that can only be repeated on an individual level and learned through experience? And in any of these do you feel you have died due to some supposedly committed long ago during our developmental stage? Do you feel that will be the cause of your death or perhaps is the cause of our deaths now in modern times? That we all die now due to something done long ago that got generated into our genetic structure and is causing our early demise? And is not the story of Christ exactly that? A story about how humans are not able to overcome this setback and do the right thing? It is OK to be atheist but come-on, it is even more important to keep things into perspective and not fall into the same illness the believers do, some sort of ridiculous and cyclical criticism that shows not intelligence but more the need to get stoked over nothing just so long as we are able to avoid really coming to conclusions that move us along.

Answer 6

Because of sin, death has come into the world. We were not created as a race for death, suffering and sin. Our original nature was altered. The fact that Christ was spotless as far as sin goes does not change the situation of the world at large. He was unique in nature, God and man. He could experience everything at a higher level than any person. Even pain. What He had though was the perfect union of body and soul, a harmony of being that allowed Him to reason and endure and act as no other. Mary was also born without this sin but she was human in nature and did not possess the divine attribute that Christ had. That is how He performed miracles and had knowledge beyond that of men and of things unknowable by us.

Answer 7

What do you care what the bible says?

Edit:
The bible teaches theists that Jesus died for theists sins. There is no "us", as an atheist the bible is just a item with pages, a few fairytale stories, and a lot of fluff. If you have a report on the bible, read an analytical analysis of it from someone who has done a thorough study of the bible objectively. Dawkins and Hawkins are not in that category. If you want a critical opinionated subjective analysis ask an atheists here or even a theists if you want both opinions.

Answer 8

You're a little confused on these concepts, but don't worry about it. On the whole, none of what the Bible teaches is worthy of a second read.

The current position of the church on understanding religion isn't very strict on details. The only important requirement for being a Christian today is that you "feel" that Jesus is. If you can believe that, the rest can be set aside entirely even if you have no clear idea for the difference between up and down.

Religious literacy has taken a backseat to religious belief; nonetheless; it's past dogma was and is nothing more than dogma. Morality is not taught only by religion as the church would have you believe. Being a Christian is no guarantee that one will be a better human being. Their basic concept is highly flawed.

Answer 9

Don't think of death in terms of the physical death of the body. The death sins brings about is the "death" of the soul. The souls of those who live lives of unrepented sin go to hell.

This death in the spirit, that unrepented sin can cause, is the death that Original Sin has created, and that which we must avoid by repenting the sins we commit.

Answer 10

There is no such thing as origianl sin. Sin is sin no matter the degree of sin one commits. Christ commited no sin, He was sinless. But God's Word needed to be fulfilled by the death of Christ. It was man that killed Christ not sin. Because of Christ death on the cross, we now have God's free gift of Salvation because we Accepted, Believe and Confessed Christ as our Lord and Savior. My friend, have you?

Answer 11

What is death?

If you're thinking in terms of physical death, then Jesus' sinlessness has nothing to do with it. As both fully human and fully God, his human side was an heir (as we all are) of a frail, temporal human body subject to physical death. Sinlessness doesn't reverse the aging cycle -- which you already know. A person's sinfulness doesn't correlate with their age at death, does it?

But if you're talking about spiritual death, or separation from God, then Jesus' sinlessness has everything to do with it. Being sinless, he was an adequate sacrifice for sinfulness. While he physically died -- see above -- he didn't didn't deserve damnation and separation from God.
