I am sooooo confused...?

Question

Jesus died so that EVERYBODY was saved and all that. So why are christians still worried about themselves and others going to hell? Don't we all have a free pass now?
Now, I don't know much about much, but this doesn't make sense to me. Could someone please explain.

Answer 1

we christian are not worried about ourselves, we love unbeliever, that's why we want to share Jesus with them, telling that only in Jesus there is salvation.

Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

i pray for you that the Lord Jesus shall open your eyes to see the truth...

Answer 2

No you don't have a free pass, it is true that Jesus die for everybody, but not everybody believe this, it is only those that accept him as the Lord and saviour that will be saved.

Answer 3

Jesus supposedly died so that you can be forgiven of your sins, not to forgive your sins. Regardless, all-knowing god foreknew that billions and billions of good people would be eternally tortured and ran his sadistic plan that included having his own son (himself?) killed, so that a "fortunate" few might sit on his knee, while most of the people who have ever lived are eternally tortured.

The good news is that there is not a shred of contemporaneous (at the time he supposedly lived) evidence that Jesus even existed. Any person who did 1/10th as much as Jesus was said to have done would have had every scribe around following his every move, yet we don't have so much as a pen stroke until decades after he supposedly died.

Keep studying and keep asking questions. Read the Bible and when you discover the filth and immorality it contains, don't whitewash it. Don't let fear cloud your mind. Be honest with yourself if you disagree with something. You'll be surprised that anyone could possibly believe the Bible to be inspired by an all-loving god.

Here is a site to cross reference to your Bible that'll help you see it without Jesus goggles on:

Answer 4

Christians believe that you have to become possessed by the holy spirit in order to be 'saved' that the death of this Jesus character is not enough unless you are willing to accept a spirit inside of you.

Answer 5

The 'fundamentalist' Christians believe you have to personally accept Jesus by faith as the one who will save you. But 'universalist' believers say basically what you wrote; we're all saved but need to realise it.

Answer 6

Read John 3:16-17 Salvation is a free gift that must be received to be in effect.

Much like medicine for illnesses, it doesn't do any good unless you consume it.

Blessings.

Answer 7

You still have to go to Him (Jesus) to get the pass.
If you don't believe that He exists - then the pass goes with it.

Answer 8

Christian Universalism does not teach the existence of an eternal hell. Jesus' sacrifice is meant to save us from death and is for all. Here are some resources for anyone interested in Christian Universalism:

Answer 9

Jesus did die for the salvation of the world, but you must believe in him to be saved. Sinners, adulators, murderers, etc do not have a "free pass"
Only those who have been baptised of spirit and water can enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Answer 10

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and BELIEVETH on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Acts 16:30 Then he took Paul and Silas outside and asked, Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him take the water of life freely.


Jesus paid the price for all of mankind's sin... but not all men turn from their sin and put their trust in Christ alone. this world is no friend to the Lord Jesus Christ. salvation is only salvation if the victim is willing to out-stretch their hand and put all trust in the hand that will recieve them. if you don't, then you take up salvation in yourself, and if you're walking blindly into the judgement of sin, how will you save yourself? you can't.
