ArchivedIs Jesus GodI am going to lock this topic for the following reason: What does this have to do with your argument that Christ did not die for our sins? We are still going to die (unless you are alive when Christ returns) for our sins anyway, but Christ's death for our sins deals with the life to come. Because of Christ we can spend an eternity in heaven. Reject His sacrifice and you will not be in heaven. There are many Christians who have died because of their iniquity, because sin brings death (that is the reason we die). But thanks to Christ those Christians will be resurrected on the last day and will be with Him in heaven for eternity. Every human being is responsible for their own sin and dies because of their own sin. Every man reaps what they sow. But by the grace of God, He sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of those who follows Him. My earthly father did not die for my sins, and when my father sins, I ultimately will not be punished for it, and when I sin, my father will not ultimately be punished for it. We bear our own iniquities. This deals with judging a man in terms of his sins. If I got arreseted for petty theft and I see on the news that someone got arrested for robbing a bank and I say in my heart "What a fool that man(who robbed the bank) is" then I am being a hypocrite. That is the kind of judgement we should refrain from. And we should also refrain from the judgement of someone's eternal existance (heaven or hell) which only God judges.
Yes, everyone in heaven shall receive their own reward according to what they did in their life and everyone in hell will receive their punishment according to what they did in their life. But you cannot get into heaven unless you accept Christ as your Saviour. That's why 1 Corinthians 3:15 also says some will be saved as if they just escaped a fire (meaning they accepted Christ as their Saviour, but did not produce much fruit in their life). Christ did not say children are born without sin. Yes children are innocent because of their ignorance, but they have a sinful nature. When they don't get what they want they start crying. And as they grow older, sin continues until they are at an age of accountability. Like Psalm 51:5 says Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Why do you think Jesus was born of a virgin?--to not have the inheritance of a sinful nature. Also, in the book of Acts, Paul does meet the resurrected Christ. How do you think Paul was converted? So Paul does not teach his own gospel, but that of Jesus Christ. |
