Jesus Died for Our Sins
Here are some questions we should ask ourselves to help us reach
the true story about the true God. What type(s) of mistakes had
Jesus committed in order for him to be punished like that? What
type(s) of sins did he die for? What had Jesus done in order to die
for someone else’s sins?
With regard to the first question, we know Jesus was created
by a special way (miraculous conception) by God, totally different
from any other person. That means he is more special than any
other human. God gave him the wisdom and ability to preach to
the people when he was 11 years old. He prayed to God all the
time and asked God to heal many ill people. God listened to him
and gave him the power and ability to heal people. Jesus said in
the New Testament: “Without God, I do nothing.” God protected
him from his enemies many times. God chose him to be a
messenger, and Jesus said by himself, “I am sent by God,” about
64 different times. God will always choose the most qualified
person to represent Him. The same thing happened when God
chose Abraham, Moses, and Jacob. Therefore, the chance that God
will choose a sinful messenger to come to Earth is impossible.
When the president of any country decides to send an
ambassador to another country, the ambassador is carefully
chosen and cleared prior to selection in order to make sure the
person will be the right representative for his or her country. This
was clear when God selected Moses to go to the pharaoh of Egypt,
asking him to release the Jewish people and let them go to the
Holy Land in Palestine. God did not forget the special people close
to Him — the people of Israel — whom He selected from the
entire population of the world. He called them His “son” in the
Bible, and He gave them victory over the Egyptian pharaoh. For
sure, God would give the victory to His selected person — Jesus
— over the Jewish people so as not to be tortured and killed, if
Jesus was in fact His son.
To say Jesus died for our sins in order for them to be forgiven
doesn’t have any merit or basis at all. With the theory of Jesus
dying for the sins we’re born with, when a child is just born, what
type(s) of sins did the child make in order to be held responsible
for them? In most laws, a child is not held accountable for
mistakes he or she makes until reaching the age of 18. Before that,
authorities discipline the child for the first or second mistake by
placing him or her into juvenile hall, not prison, and they provide
psychological help in order to help the child to heal and to correct
his or her misbehavior. This is about fairness in the justice system
in modern countries, but God is the One who created this child. If
the child has a birth defect in his or her mental system, why does
God have to punish the child for something that is not in the
child’s hands? If a child dies before reaching maturity, God
forgives the child for everything did wrong. At maturity, a young
adult then becomes responsible for all of his or her acts. This is a
known fact in all religions.
Another fact to disprove is the theory of Jesus dying for our
sins that we inherited from an earlier time. When people refused
to listen to the prophet Noah, God told Noah to take the righteous
people onto the ark, and then God flooded the Earth to wipe away
the sinful population. Therefore, there were no sinful people left
on the face of the Earth after the flood. Sin is not hereditary,
running through DNA from one generation to the next. We know
Abraham’s father was an atheist and did not believe in God.
Abraham was a God-believer, as well as the father of all the
prophets. We don’t see God pushing him away because of his
father’s disbelieving. God did not punish Isaac or Jacob for their
grandfather’s nonbelieving. Sin is a misbehavior and not part of
one’s genes to be punished for over and over from one generation
to another.
Some scholars may say these sins were inherited from Adam
and Eve, who disobeyed God in heaven. If this is true, Adam and
Eve were punished for their sins by being expelled from heaven.
Later on, God forgave Adam and Eve and granted them eternity
in heaven. If Adam made a mistake, why do his children and
grandchildren have to be punished for their father’s or
grandfather’s sins? These sins are something the offspring has
nothing to do with; in fact, the grandchildren did not even exist
then. We all know God knows everything about everyone. We
know that God is merciful, forgiving, fair, and just. This is true
about God. These sins that babies supposedly inherit from Adam
and Eve contradict the great characteristics of God Almighty, and
this is an impossibility for any law of the lands as well as the law
of God in the Bible, by God saying: “No son bears the father’s
sins, nor [does] the father bear the son’s sins.” We do not have to
go to this area by describing God as unjust or unfair. It does not
even sound right, and I am not comfortable writing this analogy
because this is blasphemous to God’s being.
One clergy “scholar” says that Jesus died to wipe off the sins
of all the people. He was the Lamb of God. God doesn’t need to
kill someone or let someone suffer for His enjoyment just to fulfill
His ordinance that everyone will be held responsible for their own
sins. At the same time, God said we all will be held responsible
for all of our acts. Jesus said in the New Testament that we will be
rewarded by God for a great deed and punished in hell for all bad
deeds. There is accountability on the Day of Judgment, and that is
why the Day of Judgment comes after the last day on Earth. If
Jesus already died for our sins, why did God not declare in the
Bible that the Day of Judgment had been cancelled because of the
crucifixion of Jesus? All the sins had been forgiven, and there
would be no need for hell fire. If this is the case, which it is not, it
would never happen. Let everyone do whatever they want. Rob
and rape and sin as much as you can, because Jesus died for our
sins, and there is no more accountability, nor any prayers needed
anymore. Obviously, this does not make any sense. If God forgave
the sins of the people who lived at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion,
what would happen to the people created after Jesus’ crucifixion?
What would happen to sinful people before Jesus’ birth? Would
they be punished? Why would Jesus and God warn us to be good
in order to go to heaven? For example, should a sinful Christian
man who committed many crimes such as murder, adultery,
burglary, etc., be equivalent to a non-sinful Christian? Both would
be equal and go to heaven because of Jesus’ crucifixion? No one
can justify this injustice, and God is the One to deal with all
equally. Jesus said that everyone will be held accountable for his
or her own deeds.
Ezekiel 18:20 states: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The
son shall not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father
bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous
shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him.” This is regarding the fall of man. I take comfort in God’s
declaration in Ezekiel 18:20 that everyone will be held
accountable for his or her sins only. No one will be called to
answer for his or her father’s sins. That sounds quite reasonable
and fair to me. It claims to come from God, so no one has the
authority to override it and say that I carry the sin of Adam, for
instance. Ezekiel 21 states: “But if the wicked will turn from all
his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do
that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not
die.” In this verse, God is giving us the acceptance of repentance,
and this is confirmed by Jesus in his parable of the prodigal son.
No matter how deeply steeped a person is in sin, if he or she turns
to God in sincere repentance, God is very pleased to welcome him
or her back and forgive all past sins.
