[@jerryadams6609]

Amen! Amen! Amen! It amazes me how many teachers in our the church denies the penal substitutionary atonement. Old paths are not always wrong.

Please Please Please pray for us to be something for God and do His will in our lives.

[@lulujordaan1103]

Brother, I’ll pray with you. I’m writing your names on the front page of my Bible, thus I’ll DAILY adding my prayers to yours before the Throne of God. I’ll pray for restoration, and complete trust in your and the kids salvation in the Blood of our Merciful and Faithful Jesus Christ. This is my promise to you. Shalom to you and yours from South Africa.

[@humbertothebeliever2443]

The assurance of your salvation is your faith in Christ and what he did on the cross for ALL, not just the elite as Calvanism wrongly teaches.. Keep following Christ and keep praying to Jehovah for your family. Be patient and slowly you will see Jehovah intervene. LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

"Why Did Christ Die?" Great question kind Sir... If Jesus had not died, as he did, no one would ever go to Heaven. For what He did, paid the total price of EVERY sin people would EVER commit; EXCEPT for one..."The Un-forgivable Sin!" IE:... Mark 3:28 Verily I (Jesus) say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men (every person), even blasphemies howsoever they shall blaspheme: Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit; has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation (hell). "The Un-forgivable Sin!" This means that EVERY single sin; WILL be forgiven on "Judgment Day"; with only ONE "caveat". That is: if any person does not accept the FREE "gift" (of "Salvation") from the Holy Spirit (which is offered from birth to death); THAT person WILL go to hell on Judgment Day. NO exceptions. In other words, from conception; until we say yes (or we die); the Holy Spirit calls us to glory. Meaning we "believe IN Jesus". Now...IF Jesus "deems" that we are truly and sincerely believing IN HIM; immediately, the Holy Spirit "Circumcises" our Soul and "Baptizes" our Heart. The instant that happens; the Holy Spirit, gives us a "2nd Birth". AKA: "Born Again"... But NOT of "flesh and blood". Rather: a Heavenly "Spiritual Birth"; that will be forever. It can never be taken away... John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him ("Nicodemus" a Hebrew teacher), Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water OF the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish (in hell), neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her (Samaritan lady at the well), Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (Proving "OSAS!". Regardless, of what 80% of Christians believe)... John 3:15 That whosoever believes in him; should not perish (in hell), but have eternal life. John 3:16 For Jesus who IS God so loved the world, that he gave of himself AKA: "begotten Son", that whosoever believes in Him should not perish (in hell), but have everlasting life. In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

[@MrPatdeeee]

​ @Steve Bilkos. Thank you so much kind Sir. I am humbled that you did not do; as so many do such as blast me and say very bad things about me. But then Jesus said...Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Thus, we Born Again must accept; that until we are "Raptured" into Heaven; that all non Born Again's will hate us innately. And satan promulgates this ever since Creation. And he will NOT stop doing that; until Jesus casts him into a Burning Lake of Fire" AKA: "hell". In any case, May Jesus bless you and yours, brother in Jesus.

according to the bible christ die for Israel acts 5/29/30/31 then peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men the God of our fathers raised up yahawashi whom you murdered by hanging on a tree him God has exalted to his right hand to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins according to the bible it says the most high raised up yahawashi to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins never mention everyone why would he die for everyone when he is not everyone God joel 2/27 then ye shall know that i'am in the midst of Israel and I'm the lord ur God and none else according to the bible the most high is telling Israel he is their God and none else unless someone can show me different to what the bible says

He had the power to lay down his life and take it again Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it again! Obviously divine justice was satisfied!

[@joshualowe286]

Jesus died for us. All those blood sacrifices in the past, before He came, was ended by the last blood sacrifice, that will ever be needed, for everyone. Our sins were on Him, and those fleshly sins, died in His flesh, our Lord Who walked it perfectly, paid for our admission unto eternal life. Jesus died, so we do not have to die, that second death, period!

[@donaldcoleman514]

acts 5/29/30/31 then peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men the God of our fathers raised up yahawashi whom you murdered by hanging on a tree him God has exalted to his right hand to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins according to the bible the most high raised up yahawashi to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins that's what the bible says never mention no other nation according to the bible christ was raised up by the most high to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins

What'd you do with the guilty for all unrest is equally posed, if slaughter on food chain to feed kids supplied of protein supplements aside if not the rituals are once for all quashed by repentant souls add on spiritual unlike hermit or servant substitute used partner as confessing priests but died to be part in surely wrath?!

[@jessyjonas4988]

Those who resist the substitutionary atonement hopefully they will be happy to know the fires of hell cannot be questioned and those resurrected to damnation ( because they refuse the substitution) will be thrown into it. Is this the day and age for preaching forever burning in hell

[@Psalm146-2]

Never speak of someone one burning in hell with glee or derision in your voice.

[@trevorbates8972]

There are a number of reasons why Jesus died, one of which was to show us resurrection. If we up build within us a righteous spirit we too will be reborn to righteous flesh, new flesh, appropriate to our righteous state, instead of retained in the ether. Another reason is the ritual value because his death is a re-enactment of what happened to Almighty God in Heaven when He led the Angels as Jesus led the disciples. Yet another reason is it is what happens to a person who walks in the opposite direction to those who prefer lies and deceit to manipulate the people by...and there we have it...a wonderful science built from the true nature of mechanics of the electromagnetic universe, created and owned by Almighty God who created His very own Son, via his crucifixion and resurrection.

[@clarkwayne3440]

The sacrifice made by Jesus have dual meanings (duality). You have explained only one of the two reasons.

[@kcmc3615]

Wow I am really trying to understand this "died for our sins" thing. But im not grasping WHY God needed an animal or someone to DIE in order to be satisfied. And how does just believing this help me?

[@Bible33AD]

This is Western church- West of Rome... catholic... augustine... martin Luther... Protestant theology. Eastern church doesn't believe quite the same. Substitution, yes, but not a penalty demanded by the Father. Christ willingly took our place. Father did not demand it of the Son. Father and Son were united in willingly saving us. Mother running into a burning building to save baby NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. Motivated only by love. Same thing at the cross. Method was sacrifice. Motivation was love. Penalty, payment by the Son was not REQUIRED by the Father at the Cross. Holy Mystery. No human can adequately explain it.

[@RansomedSoulPsalm49-15]

Sorry nobody helped you out with this question so far. Its actually very simple. God is a perfect God of Holiness, Righteousness and Justice. As The Perfect Judge, He cannot simply let guilty criminals like you and me go. Imagine if an earthly judge let every person go that was guilty. He would not be a good judge, he would actually be an immoral judge for not punishing sin. Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh so that God could pour out His just wrath on Him. In this transaction, Jesus took our sin and gave us His righteousness. This transaction is only accessed by faith and only given to those with faith. I hope that answers your questions. You either go to the grave being judged by your own merit (guilty of sin and deserving God’s wrath) or you go to the grave being a new creation in Christ, born of Christ’s righteousness (this person still sinned and deserves hell but God accounted them as righteous because they were covered by the blood of Christ and their sins were already punished in Christ). Praying for you ❤ God is good

Jesus was killed by them unbelieving, jews not the gentiles.

[@norbertjendruschj9121]

"Why Did Christ Die?" Well, death is the intent of a capital punishment. Not so surprising that the rabbi Jesus didn´t survived his crucifiction.

[@martinbutler7835]

"Why did Christ die?" A rhetorical question and very unnecessary to ask. He died for the sins of the world.

[@Psalm146-2]

God gave us the Bible so that we could have a more in-depth understanding which is what RC was doing here. There is reasoning behind what we believe.

[@donaldcoleman514]

[@wilbertmangmang7741]

Why Did God made Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and even Elizabeth for a while before allowing them to be pregnant?

[@user-ih3st2co8d]

Generational curses of idolatory of forefathers...even Rachel stole idols of her father laban ...which was later buried under a oak when Jacob wrestled with God...for Elisabeth it's to be a sign for mary that nothing is impossible to God, concerning the message she received...also till Zechariah would believe the power of God...

[@jerryadams6609]

So, that God could demonstrate a promise fulfilled. Isaac was promised to Abraham and Sarah to fulfill promises (covenant) See, Genesis 17:19. In each instance a Patriarch was born to fulfill the promises God originally made to Abraham. Except Elizabeth, she bore John the Baptist who was the fulfillment of the promised "one crying in the wilderness" (Isaiah 40:3, Matthew 3:1-3) God caused the conception of John the Baptist in her old age so people will sit up a pay attention and take notice that God is fulfilling a prophecy (not to mention the angel who came and spoke to Zechariah). The same with Hannah who born Samuel, a judge and prophet to Israel. God was doing something significant with their children. Not a curse but promises and blessing. This does not mean that every baren Christian women is to be blessed to have a child who will do great things for the kingdom of God, in fact it is very unlikely since the Christ (the promised offspring of Abraham..Galatians 3:16) has come and fulfilled the covenants and promises.
