But if that's the case, what's the whole point in Jesus' sacrifice? If Jesus' death on the cross doesn't absolve us of our sins, why is "Jesus died for your sins" perpetuated?

It would seem that if you removed Jesus' death entirely, the end result would still be the same - having to answer for your sins on judgement day.
I'm guessing Jesus was the physical embodiment of God's love--his dying on the cross an expression of the lengths of said love.  All God wants in the end is for us to acknowledge this and accept it.

Assuming God is real.

Nailed it.

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

The fact that Rocket doesn't get bothered by the troll attempts irks me for some reason.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails.
it's shit like this that makes me think you're just suppressing your inner gay with a shell of homophobia

Accepting Christ as Savior is all you need. That's it.
But then God's love isn't unconditional. If you need to accept Jesus as your lord and savior, that's a condition to not get banished to the depths of hell for eternity.

God's unconditional love is demonstrated in the fact He gave you the opportunity for redemption, and also allows you to choose freely to accept or reject it. Sin isn't just sweeped under the rug, but He's given you all you need to free yourself from it.

It's all up to you.

Got a little question for the theologians here <.<

Why does the old testament god demand blood sacrifices and why does the new testament god not? Or am I missing something here?

Before Christ, you gave a "sin offering" of a lamb.

Jesus is the ultimate "sin offering", hence being called the "Lamb of God".

Old Testament was before Christ, New Testament was before during and after His time.
Well what if I value the life of an innocent creature above saving my own hide to get into the afterlife?
Does that count for something or does it not satiate khorne enough?

Because regardless of the bible's teachings, I wouldn't kill an animal to get into any afterlife. Meatbags, maybe. But not animals.

Good works won't save you, so doing good things won't get you to Heaven. That's where many feel cheated.

Because it goes 2 ways:

>Those who have done terrible things aren't beyond redemption. They can make it to Heaven as well.
>Those who have lived kind giving lives will have missed it all. Many people who go to Church their whole lives, will wake up in Hell one day and be completely shocked. Because they missed the entire point.

And the entire point of Jesus being a Savior, is because we need saving from something we can't save ourselves from.




Luckily however, thanks to Jesus you don't have to sacrifice any animals Psy. Accepting Christ as Savior is all you need. That's it.

This fedora tipper can answer that.

Jesus was apparently supposed to be the sacrifice to end sacrifices.

Not sure why god had to have us kill him so we could stop slaughtering our farm animals tho.

Fedora tipper?

God, for whatever reason, decided to create things that were sinful.

At the time of Creation, humans were not sinful. They were perfect, undefiled. And God didn't create sin itself. Sin's creation came when Lucifer rebelled against God out of jealousy. That desire to be above God, was where sin came into the picture. That desire.

Humanity was perfect, sinless, then they chose to sin. That's why humanity is now sinful by nature: because the very first 2 people sinned, and sin stains deep.


However, we must still seek forgiveness for ours sins.

...why? If Jesus' death was to absolve us of our sins, why must we still seek forgiveness?

Jesus didn't take humanities' sins and erase them. What He actually did, was make a way, open a door.
Salvation is a gift yes, but it's also a choice on your part. You are not forced to make Christ your savior, you are not forced to live in Fellowship with Him.

Jesus gave us the choice of eternal life. And even afterward, we must seek forgiveness daily. Seek renewing. Because we sin daily, we mess up our clean slate over and over, but over and over Christ offers that endless forgiveness.
How do you believe in this bullshit dude? I mean damn, say it out loud and listen to what you're saying, then read some factual stuff about our origins and realize were just advanced animals.

Let me just summarize very easily:


sin = separation from God

If humanity is sinful, it is separated

Christ = redemption from sin

Through Christ, there is no more separation from God. He opens that pathway up for any who choose it.


If you weren't raised in the Church and never really were around it, I could see why it sounds odd to some degree.
But it makes sense if you explain it in a simplistic fashion.
I was raised in the church.

This is my original point

>god wants to do something("bridge the gap")
>why does god need a blood sacrifice to do it?

He's literally the wellspring. Why does it seem like he has to meet a requirement in a reality that he is the originator of?

I'm gonna leave you alone after this, seems like there are enough people bothering you.

Why exactly? I can't really say.
Perhaps because that's what people had to offer back then, so it would show devotion?
And Christ wasn't there yet, but He is prophecied about in the Old Testament over and over.

I guess you could say before Christ, salvation was very limited. But because of Christ it was available to all very easily: through acceptance that He was Savior and Lord.

That doesn't excuse God from making sin, though.

There's no such thing as a state of inaction, not even for us, let alone an omniscient and omnipotent deity. There's no such thing as not acting.

God didn't make sin. It was born out of Lucifer's jealousy towards God. That's where it came from.

God didn't form this little black ball called "sin" and say "ok, let's keep this away form everyone. Because its bad".
Why did he allow sin to be created?

As God allowed humanity to have choice, He did the same with the Angels. Lucifer had the freedom of choice, to be content or be jealous. They weren't slaves, they weren't robots.

God doesn't force you to obey Him nor love Him.

Now why does that sound like animal sacrifice?

Because it was.
Now what the hell does Yahweh want with dead animals?

It was a way to atone for sins. And shepherds would sacrifice the single best lamb of their livestock. Not the worst, the sick. That was out of gratitude for God giving them livestock at all.
