Topic: Who did Jesus die for? | |
---|---|
Some questions for the Christian populace of JSH.
Did Jesus die for only the humans that existed after him or did he die for all humans that ever existed? Now when we think of humans on this plantet are we talking only about those whose DNA exactly matched Jesus or would that be impossible since God was his father and had no DNA to contribute? Also, what if the modern human of Jesus time, actually had DNA from cross breeding with other human species, way back when. Then did Jesus will they also be saved and their spirit sent to heaven? And finally, what about lifeforms on other planets. If the has a finite numer of material, particles, atams, black matter and the like and if in fact all life AND all matter consists of the same basic material than would Jesus life here on earth be a saving or redeeming grace to intelligent life on other planets? Would like to know what you all think about these things. |

Jesus died for all humans before and after him.
We can only benefit from his ransom sacrifice if we believe in him and what he did for us. But believing in him requires more than just acknowledging that he existed. We must do what he asked us to do. We must do God's will. If not, then we wont be saved. |

Don't ponder too hard. It's all make-believe. hee-hee :)
Here are two oldies but goodies. Why haven't we seen God reattach a severed head or restore someone who was burned alive? Surely this would be an easy feat to accomplish. - Adam Majors [Note: The typical answer is that man doesn't dictate God's actions. The conundrum here however is that, if God wants us to "know" him, then surely feats such as those mentioned above would be happening all over the world. Until they do, I'll remain an atheist.] and... If God is all-knowing past, present and future as many Christians assert, why would God place the Trees of Life and Knowledge in the Garden? I mean.. he would have known that they would be convinced by Satan (whom he also let in the Garden) trick them into eating the fruit. Deeper than that... why create humans at all if he new that he'd need to wipe us out with a great flood eventually? Makes no sense.

That is a hard one. "Did Jesus die for people before him, or after him?"
I do not think that(or dont know if) there is a direct question like this in the Bible so we could have received a straight quick answer. But people B4 him, got their sins washed through the ritual of having the Priest kill, on U behalf, an approved animal,with U sins confessed, burning with it sprinked with salt, and eating it's lean parts. Also one day called day of atonement, another ritual 4 d whole assembly. THAT SEEMED TO BE FINAL 4 them. That was until the REAL SACRIFICE (Jesus) DIED. BUT IF YAHSHUA (JESUS) DID NOT COME? If people received food on a promissory note or cheque, and the person did not pay later, did they get the food? So the BC people got the forgivess and that seems final. But they are in their grave waiting on a resurrection, which can only happen when the first one (Jesus)for the salvation process is ressurected. So I'm afraid, it looks like if HE did not come the whole World would have perished. But I do not know. This one is too hard. When I am literally saved in the future, I will be sure to ask him this question. In the meantime, I will try to hearn how to behave myself and try 2 bhave myself. |

Infidelguy. I believe in God (Yahweh Elohim) because the book (Bible)
that speaks of Him also predicts accurately, some major World events relevant to the Israelites and their grafts (Judeo-Christianity) Not only that!! It reveals things that happened before. Not only that!! It reveals some formulae for success. I believe the rest just like U believe in vitamin D from the sun, that U cannot see, and the atom could split. It speaks of a Creator being responsible for the 'created'. |

and it tell me the Creator exists!! And that I should not pray to statue
I made or the clouds or say that the sun is my brother and my sister is the moon. It tells me a person is practising folly if that person says that there is no God. |

madline.. Jesus most certainly did die. then he arose after 3 days, just
as he foretold. Jesus died for sin. if you have ever sinned against God, then he died for you. ....what does DNA HAVE TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF RICE IN JAPAN? |

1 Peter Ch 3... towards the end:
18For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 19through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 20who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. |

I'm not going to start a great theological debate here, complete with
big words or Biblical quotes no one understands. Jesus died to save his chosen people--the Jews. Since they didn't take too well to the idea of His being the Messiah, he offered his death for the salvation of all people. First the Greek, then the Romans, head on to all of Europe, and the New World, and much of Africa. East and Mid-East weren't interested. And that's the truth. Read your history books as well as your Bible. |

Nice sushi, Thank everyone for your thoughts. Rambill asked what DNA
had to do with it. www.dnaftb.org/ there ya go Rambill, if you really want an answer from me on why DNA has anything to do with it, then read what DNA is first and how it traces us back to a single source and how other species can still have enought of the same DNA to mate and create babies and still be called two seperate species.. Then ask yourself - Did Jesus die to save only those within the species his form seems to represent and if so, how do we know we all have the CORRECT DNA? Don't get scared, you can still take biblical text out of context and depend on others to interpret it for you till you find one that you want to claim - heck a lot of poeple do that, so don't feel back if you need to find some comfort in doing the same thing. |

OOOOH I love a quiz!
Jesus didnt die for "anyone". He recognized himself as the fullfilment of the Messiah prophecy, which itself foretold his death. The Messiah was the sign that the law of Moses had run its course, and that all beleiving Jews, upon recognizing the Messiah, were free from the Law (given as a fixed-term punishment for worshipping the golden calf). The last words Jesus said were "...it is done". What did he mean by "IT" ? I say the Law. The Law was Done. Jews were free of the Law. The Gentiles always had the grace to be free of the law, but now that the law was done, the wisdom of the law (restrained from the Gentiles) was to be spread to all peoples. Since the scope of Jesus' mission was pretty focused and specific, I sidestep your question on DNA and so on. |

DNA DONT MATTER ONE BIT. Faith and love are where the action is. Your in

Ram, look who's talking about walking the walk? The way you talk you
should be totally Amish and live without electricity, wouldn't that be a more humble existance for you. Then you would never have to read another text book or science magazine or even be involved in the political system. OH MG - do you vote? |

sins. Thank you JESUS!!!!!!! |
