Didn't CHRIST die for our sins?


Doesn't GOD require all men everywhere to come to repentence and the knowledge of HIS SON?

Didn't CHRIST say if you do not believe I am HE Ye shall die in your sins?
No, God requires nothing from us, Jesus did it all. It is "salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus", 2 Timothy 3:15. It has nothing to do with our personal beliefs.

I know that I am without sin, Science has proven it for me; but evil, its still here; look at the holocaust.
Without sin? Why would you need Jesus then? From what I read He was the only perfect and unblemished lamb of GOD. Thoughts like that is why Satan fell.

Why would I need Jesus then? Christ Jesus is the reason why I am without sin.

Pardon me, but it doesn't say I have to accept anything. The "faith" referenced in Ephesians 2:8, is "salvation through the faith which is in Christ Jesus," 2 Timothy 3:15. It's got nothing whatsoever to do with my faith!

That would be your faith, sir.
Not anyone else's.
Some translations use the word "receive."



Matthew 19:11 Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word but only those to whom it has been given

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if someone comes to you and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.

1 Timothy 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that and everyone should accept it: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners"--and I am the worst of them all. ...

Acts 22:18 and saw the Lord speaking to me. 'Quick!' he said. ''Make haste and leave Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.'

John 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "What he says
is hard to accept. Who wants to listen to him anymore ...

Is it a sin to distort the Word of GOD

Where is JESUS now?
And it has everything to do with belief in HIM

can you explain why CHRIST did not pray for the world but only for those whom the father gave him out of the world?

You are preaching that there is no sin in the world

Yet, the HOLY
SPIRIT convicts he eodvof sin for the very purpose that those in the world will come to reoentence and be saved

Yet you are preaching to them that CHRIST died for sins and now there is no sin in the world

And that is NOT what the word says

In fact on John 17 there is conflict and those who believe in The Son are told that they will have trouble because they do not believe

So yes the requirement is belief

And no not all believe therefore not all are saved

"If you do not believe I am He, Ye shall die in your sins"

CHRIST clearly says to those who believe HE will send another advocate. The spirit of TRUTH whom the world can not receive because the world does not know HIM
