[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not a Biblical scholar, but I am an evangelical Christian and am happy to take a stab at this for you, especially since no one else here will! To say that Jesus "Redeemed" humanity is to say that He saved us from ourselves - our sin, which is what separates us from God. We are all sinners - everyone of us - me, you, every DCUM reader, everyone. Sin and God cannot co-exist. So because we have it in our lives, we cannot be reunited with God, either here on earth or in the afterlife in Heaven. [b]Jesus took that sin, died on the cross, went to hell and rose again from the dead. He conquered sin[/b], and death and through Him, we can have the same victory. It is the ultimate redemption because we could never be good enough or in any other way save ourselves. He is our only hope. Why did He do it? Because God so loved us. He literally sent His Son to die for us in an attempt to get us back. [/quote] HOW? [b][quote]Jesus took that sin, died on the cross, went to hell and rose again from the dead. He conquered sin[/quote][/b] So it is not about ORIGINAL sin? The Adam and Eve one? Which sin exactly was this? Also doesn't church distinguish between mortal sins and ordinary sins? Saying.. if it is mortal sin you are pretty much as good as baked, but for the other you can be redeemed and if Jesus redeemed you then why do you need to repent and all that? If Jesus redeemed you ahead of time it should be already taken care of right? And as to the original sin and those sins that supposed to anger God to bring upon the Flood, weren't those forgiven upon entering into the covenant and that rainbow promise? I am quite lost on the concept of the very sin that needed to be forgiven. And also why would God need a sacrifice of his son? Not to mention he had only one... in order to forgive the entire humanity? Is it like Jesus came here to prove that a human can live a life without a sin so that was the thing that did the whole forgiveness? But Jesus got mad in the temple flipped those tables, even if the intention is good but the sheer.. anger.. anger is sin so in theory he also sinned.. Jesus send the demons into the innocent pigs (of course it is curious why there were pig in the population that followed Jewish laws that prohibited eating unclean animals but that is another question for another day) but non the less that was pretty bad thing to do to send innocent animals into the oblivion. Sounds like animal cruelty if you ask me. Of course it is all faith based but the lack of logic in this is kind of .. bugling because God is a loving father, so here he has one son and he need this son to die to prove something to make a way for humans? How dying and coming from the dead also has anything to do with anything? Redemption wise. Yes, it is certainly good slelling point as far as the faith base but then again. HOW? is this part of the redemption? [/quote]
