What did Jesus die for?

1. The death and resurrection of Jesus was parts of G0d's Plan of Salvation. The Jewish leadership and Romans were only accessories.

2. Old Testament Plan of Salvation was through *attempting to be sinless, *by works righteousness and *through blood sacrifice.

3. Jesus, as G0d incarnate, granted a New Dispensation and fulfilled the Old Testament Plan of Salvation with the *The Accept Jesus/Confess/Repent/Seek forgiveness process.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. That is G0d's grace. 4. Jesus downplayed Works Righteousness.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

5. Jesus fulfilled the blood sacrifice process of the Old Testament by being the final blood sacrifice, through crucifixion, as the final expression of G0d's Plan. Mark 8: 31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

Thank you for asking and giving me the opportunity to witness.

Bro, quit stealing my questions (I was going to ask a similar question down the line)!

At any rate, he died to satisfy divine justice, to redeem man from sin, and to restore harmony between man and God.

How does someone's death do that?

[BCRanger10]

It's not just "someone's" death. It's God the Son (Jesus Christ) who became man. Human efforts, sacrifices, and initiatives couldn't bridge that gap. God had to become man to effect that.

[BigBang1001]

So this means God is unjust, firstly He's killing an innocent prophet for someone else's sins and secondly He's wasting the effort of people of other religions who don't believe in this "sacrifice" but has worked hard, prayed day and night, meditated in wilderness and mountains and deserts in order to reach Enlightenment (God), by putting them in hell, just because they don't believe in this sacrifice

[BCRanger10]

He has done nothing of the sort. Jesus himself said at least three times what would happen to him. It was specifically what he came to do, so yeah, he was innocent, but I'd think that him paying such a price for our sins would move the heart, mind, and soul of the believer to be converted and to have a true love and devotion.

Likewise, you'd also have to ask the question of what the end (philosophically speaking) of true religion is. I'm open to hearing other arguments, but it's going to be a hard sell to convince me that after enduring what he did via his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, he'd still be okay with us "reaching enlightenment" or simply having a good heart whilst not acting any further on what he had done.

[BigBang1001]

Where has he said that he shall die for the sins of others?

[purplepoppy]

Holding himself higher than the emperor.

The simple truth is preachers were ten a penny back then. People pushed all sorts of religions and the Romans largely tolerated them just as long as the power of Rome came first. Jesus crossed that line by claiming to be divine.

Did he? Was he real? The Christian story makes no sense at all to the unindoctrinated.

For our salvation, he paid the price for our sins so we can excape death and be forgiven from our destructive ways

Absolutely nothing.

[Dargil]

Sorry to hear that.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dargil It's just a fairy story. Nothing I can do about it.

[exitseven]

He died for our sins.

[BigBang1001]

He died so we could sin all day long? That doesn't sound right!

In place of sinner death like chico here.
