For all people have sin , and have fallen short for God and His blessing of eternal life , where God gives us Jesus Christ who was killed on the cross an innocent man because of sin , ....So if we repent and turn from sin and turn to Jesus Christ who is the living God , then our sin will be forgiven , and Jesus promise to raise us up for eternal life
As scripture say, the Lord says; "The person who sins shall die."
"The righteousness of the upright is their own and the wickedness of the wicked is their own."
Ezekiel 18:20 "The person who sins shall die. A child shall not suffer for the iniquity of a parent, nor a parent suffer for the iniquity of a child; the righteousness of the righteous shall be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be his own."
Its religion code talk, the answer usually sound like jibberish to atheists, it did when I was atheist.
ACtually it still does when it comes in the form of verbatim bible quotes.
...
It sounded like jibberish to me, too, during my decades-long bout with atheism. All I heard was, "blah blah blah Jesus." It was all Greek to me.
Then God opened my heart and now I know the Truth.
Until God opens your heart and you seek Him with an honest desire to know and understand Him, no amount of posts in a CD forum thread will answer your question to your satisfaction.

So during your decades long bout with atheism, you opened your heart to something you didn't believe in or did god open you heart first?

It is a curiosity to me that an atheist would become religious. I would have to assume the person was not once religious, considered the concept of his religious belief through critical thinking and thereby became an atheist, and then reconsidered and once again became religious. It could happen that way, but I would think it would be very rare.
It is called a ransom. Adam cost us our lives by his actions. Jesus bought back the lives of those who believe in and follow him. He paid the price to buy us back.
Jesus words:
Matthew 20:28 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Two things.
1. A ransom
2. For the many not everyone.
Where does it stare that Adam cost us our lives?...Since he was created mortal...
Blood for Blood or there is no forgiveness of sins.
Not true...
Quote:
IN the verse below, the priest referred to is Jesus Leviticus 4:35 And all its fat he shall remove cast the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on top of the Lord’s food offerings. dAnd the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven
Hebrews 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and fwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins
I have asked this question at a couple of websites and never gotten a good answer. I might as well go for it here. It isn't actually a Bible passage, per se, but I have often heard the term "Jesus died for your sins". For years this proclamation has perplexed me. How did Jesus's death have any effect on my sins? If Jesus had lived to a ripe old age and died of a heart attack, how would my sins be any different today in any real, discernable way?
First, you must understand two things:
1. Since Adam brought sin into the world, every human being is born into sin. It is impossible for us to be blameless, perfect or righteous.
2. God is perfectly just, holy and righteous. He cannot allow wrongdoing to go unpunished. If He did, He would be unjust.
So because of these two incompatible truths, God sent Jesus, His Son to be a perfect, unblemished sacrifice to die and take the penalty for our sin. It was the ultimate sacrifice of love.
So now you personally have the offering of Jesus' atonement to allow you to one day spend an eternity in the presence of God. If you love God than this is the most amazing news you've ever heard. I know it was for me.
Hope this helps.
