Intro,\n\nJesus was unique to say the least. He was God, but He couldn’t use His power as God, or it would be absolutely impossible for God – Who is a righteous judge – to condemn any mere human for not being perfect.\n\nJesus did keep the Law of Moses. He was the only one who ever did that. If you think about the Law of Moses, it was impossible for anyone to keep it. It was given so Jesus could keep the righteous requirements of the Law, and in His righteousness, He could redeem – or buy back – the rest of humanity. God made this plan for redeeming us before He created the earth and the heavens. Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.\n\nThe parts of the law dealing with ceremony and forgiveness of sin were for people until the time of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. The Apostle Paul observed that the Law was just a schoolmaster, and also that it was impossible for us to keep.\n\nOn one hand, Jesus was pure in His thinking and in obedience to His Father. His single-minded, wholehearted obedience gave Him a leg up on us as long as He maintained it – which He did flawlessly.\n\nOn the other hand, He endured temptation and harassment from demons of a greater intensity than any other man. The devil certainly knew who Jesus was after His public baptism. If the devil could only get Jesus to blow it once, then all mankind would be lost forever, and the devil would have beaten his archenemy – God.\n\nSo on one hand Jesus had it better than us, and on the other, it was much tougher for Him.\n\nI hope this helps, but very likely it raises more questions.\n\nGod bless.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

Yes when He was Jesus in the flesh. He had bodily functions like every other person. So don't feel guilty when you have to go every now and then.

We as Christains are not bound by the old testament anymore thats why Jesus came to set us free from those laws..Jesus says to love one another as He has loved us..Very plain..To know Jesus we will want to walk more like Him everyday and not do things to cause us to be seprated..

Heaven isn't that easy to get into.\n\nAs a catholic I believe the bible when it says, "It is easier to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven".

Jesus came to earth to do many things.. he came so he could show us the way to live..to live as we live so he could know how we feel...to Identify with us... To beat satan at his on game...someone has to pay for all the wrong things we do..so GOD having mercy on us sent his son to take that punishment for us. That's why to be saved all you have to do is accept his free gift of salvation...You are right, God is greater, but we (Humans) sadly are not...to learn more you can read the bible..starting with the book of John and the book of Romans...I promise It will be an eyeopening experience you will never forget.

The Bible says that doing good isn't the criterion for getting to heaven.  anyone who desires and strives for absolute purity could make it. But the biblical criterion is recognising that, perhaps despite the fact that we may think we've lived good lives, we're still sinners in need of a saviour, and so we should accept that Jesus Christ allowed himself to be killed on a cross so he could take the punishment for our sins, and we should turn away from everything we know to be wrongdoing. I am thankful that getting to heaven doesn't depend on how good we've been. If the criterion for getting to heaven was being good, then people who made a sincere commitment to Christ not long before they died after having lived immoral lives would find themselves going to hell despite their latter commitment to follow him and turn away from their sins, because the number of years they had spent sinning would far exceed the amount of time they later spent doing good. Or if they'd done one thing that was very bad but then spent years regretting it, it might still outweigh all the good they'd done and be enough to get them sent to hell, particularly since no one can be entirely good and everyone does things that aren't good throughout their lives. But the love of Jesus extends to people who've spent years doing evil things, if they'll only sincerely accept him and turn away from them.

No He Did Not Go To Heaven, And It Wasn't Because He Killed Himself.\n\nHe Belonged To Another.

No. Because we are told in Proverbs that mans heart is decietful above all else.\nAlso if we try to get to heaven by doing something good our selves, we are wasting our time, as that is what all religions teach.  The Bible tells us that Jesus paid in full, the price on the cross.  Neither is  there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, wherby we must be saved.  Acts 4:12\nBut we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6\nSo there is NO WAY we can save ourselves, only Christ can do that, "For by grace ye are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9\nAll have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

It use to be a thought of mine but then I read in the Bible that some things we will never comprehend on earth in our sinful state, some things will seem like foolishness when it comes to God. however, he reveals himself and character through his son Jesus and through is creations. We cannot comprehend eternity with our finite minds it would drive us mad - the promise is sure though that we will not die in heaven and it will be blissful and happy. Our duty here is not to explain what we have no knowlege of but what is revealed to us through the written word the Bible. All questions will be answered in heaven, just follow the Bible.

These are really good questions.  \n\nJesus did die for our sins, for the sins of those who recieve His death as payment for their sins. (John 1:12) (If you do not believe in Him, than His death does not pay the penalty for your sins and you are responsible for paying it, thus eternity spent in hell)  We still die in our earthly bodies, because this earth is not eternal.  For those who are in Christ, earthly death is merely the end of the temporary and the beginning of eternal life in the presence of God.  1 Corinthians 15:50-57 talks about that.\n\nAdam and Eve did sin.  So has every human after them.  By their sin, Adam and Eve broke the perfect fellowship with God that He had created them to live in with Him.  Once that relationship was broken, as one of the many consequences of it, Adam and Eve's children were born into that broken relationship.  We are not responsible for Adam and Eve's sin, but we do live in the effects of it. (just like if a stranger comes into your house and kills a loved one of yours, your life will be forever changed.  You will now live with the consequences of that person's actions, though you had no personal responsibility for them.)  The sin that we are responsible for is our own.  We were born incapable of not sinning, whether it is sin we are aware of or not.  Romans 3 tells us that absolutely every human on the planet is guilty of sin.  But God, though we broke relationship with Him, sent His perfect Son, Jesus, who knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) to take on the penalty of our sin and pay it for us in His death and resurrection.  Romans 3:23-26, Ephesians 2:8-9\n\nYour last question is a very difficult one, that many people don't agree on, because the Bible is not clear, and it is most likely one of those questions that we'll never figure out and will have to ask God when we get to heaven and will see things from His perspective.  Some people believe that all humans are born in sin and are responsible from birth.  Other people believe in an "age of accountability", basically that there is a certain age, around 2 or 3, when children begin understanding right and wrong, and that's when they are responsible for their sin.  If they die before that age, such as at birth or a miscarriage, God will not condemn them because they were unaware of their sin.  \n\nHope that helps some.  I encourage you to read the book of Romans in the Bible, it gives a whole lot more than I just did, and it shows the amazing gift that God has made possible by sending Jesus.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be opened so that you will know what is the hope of His calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance and the greatness of His power toward us who believe.  (Ephesians 1:17-23)

The Bible theachs there is no one good...all have sinned and falen short of the glory of God that is why Jesus died for us. If we could be good enough then Jesus would not have had to die. so your answer is that if you die without Jesus you die in youe sin.

The answer is more simple than it seems - there is sin in the world.  If sin had never been brought into the world there would be no death and no pain.  The other problem with the whole "God mapped out our lives" scenario is that He gave us free will.  Even if He knows what's going to happen to us (which He does), even He can't control how we're going to react to what happens to us because He gave us the ability to make our own choices.  So, combine free will with sin being in the world and now you know why such terrible things happen to such good people.

Jesus did\n\nBut he didn't so much as break the law as change it from the law of sin and death to the law of love and life\n\nLife is greater than the law

Of course. Just confess your sins to God, remember that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. He then arose and that act made him defeat death. So all we have to do now is confess our sins and accept that sacrifice He made for us, and ask Him to come live in us. That way he forgives us and we become a new person!

We needed to see His suffering to understand the depth of His love.  Because unfortunately, we tend to be hard-headed.  We needed to see how deep our sin really was/is.  I can see why you'd wonder why he didn't just click His heels three times like Dorothy, but it wouldn't have quite the same effect.  ^__^  I mean, can you imagine if the Wizard of Oz was our salvation story?  =P  heh.

Exactly.  Why did Jesus HAVE to die?  Why was it necessary?  Why did God set that rule?  God could've just as easily said "Jesus, if you pick that daisy over there, you will become the redeemer of mankind".  It could've been that easy.  But no.  God had to REQUIRE that his only son let himself be killed in a brutal, excruciating way.
