There are many aspects of the benefit of Christ's death. One is the shedding of His redeeming blood to cleanse us from every sin.
But another is that when we are united with Him the old is crucified with Him. And a totally new beginning is obtained.
What we have become as fallen sinners ...[text shortened]... ment. It is termination and starting all over again with God.
must go again for a moment.

Lol .. interesting. That what most people dont like about me.
Anyway if you really interested in chatting about God, I would prefer if you start another thread and ask your questions in the opening post MINUS the derogatory remarks like 'God is pointless' etc. This one really does not sound like a post those interested in God will read. If you do it tha ...[text shortened]... all your questions .. Im not saying you will like all the answers ... 😀

it still seems like god choose a purely arbitrary method for sins to be absolved. why crucifixion? when he created man he may have given us free will but within certain guidelines, there is a limit to what we can and cannot do. so why not limit our capacity to do for them to do is die? is that because they have sinned? im very confused on this one.

when he created man he may have given us free will but within certain guidelines, there is a limit to what we can and cannot do. so why not limit our capacity to do evil. for us to know evil means it must have been in gods mind too. otherwise we become the creator. if god forgives and sinners go to heaven does that mean there is sin in heaven? if there is no sin in heaven it means we have had our capacity to do sin removed, so why didnt he just do that in the first place.
"fallen sinners cannot be healed" what is a fallen sinner? is a "new life" the after life?

I would like to recommend further reading which is more effective then a discussion exchange with these limitations.

rajk999 could you help me with another question. god doesnt like people who dont belive in him, right? how does he feel about the people who lived before christ or around the same time that had no chance to read the bible or hear his word. lets say north and south america. millions of people lived and died without the word of christ. will god make and e ...[text shortened]... he question i asked about living a good, giving, loving life would i still be fool in gods eyes.
Originally posted by jaywillSo what do you do when you meet a Muslim who tells you the same thing about his faith? Do you assume he is the delude one?
Because I feel that I have met Christ and He has wrought changes in my life I know I am not the source of, I trust that He is accurate in His own promises that He is and there no other God besides Him.
