Everyone's, but you're put more than your share on him, already.

I can, as long as they pull-out and spooge their beliefs all over my face... oh... um.. huh... what... what were we talkin' bout'? Oh... yeah...:thepain:

If Jesus died for all of mans sins, did He not die for the sins of Judas Iscariot also?

If not, why?

Are not the sins of Pontius Pilate also forgiven?

What of Cain, recognized as the first murderer? Are his sins forgiven?

What is the limit of forgiving?

Are Hitlers sins forgiven?

Pol Pot? Stalin? Jeffery Dahmer?

Just wondering...

To quote Jeff Foxworthy - "You might be Catholic if..."

So THAT'S who that was... :)

Well, yeah. The way I tend to view un-Murdochian (read: actual) Christian forgiveness is like this. Picture a guy on the sidewalk behind a Psychiatrist Lucy from Peanuts-esque desk. He's handing out free money. Trick is, you gotta ask for it. If you do, cool: here's some money. If you don't, the guy behind the desk will be bummed because hey - why turn down free money and be miserable? But hey, your call.

Root theory of the Crucifixion in its basic sense (which is all I got from sporadic CCD classes as a kid plus amateur theology research of my own) works as follows: "All the bullshit you'd have to go through post-death to get into Heaven? I (Jesus) cut through all that. You don't owe Me anything - it's like that person that walks around and puts a quarter in your parking meter just before it expires. Just ask to be let through the door, and you got it. All I ask is that you not be a schmuck. If you happen to engage in schmuck-like behavior, it's cool, just own up to it and we're golden. Should you choose not to ask to get in, well, it's a bummer but it's your life."

AFAIK, "You might be a Catholic if..." was never part of his act.

Yup, you're right.

I meant to say "paraphrase", not "quote".

He died for every sin. Sin entered the world through Adam, and the justification of sins by Jesus blood covered all sins.

People benefit from said forgiveness of sins by believing in the Savior that saved them. Jesus clarified what HE considered sin in the book of John:

Joh 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Joh 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Joh 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

v9: sin = unbelief in Jesus.

So he has cancelled the debt of all individual sin, and it has become that unbelief in Jesus is the only sin remaining.

But, we will all give an account for our works, and for every idle word we speak.

Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Sin entered the world through Adam?

Does not the Bible say that Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree Of Knowledge, and because of her, man was cursed with "Original Sin"?

What of murder? A murderer can believe in Jesus. Using your statement, murder is not a sin, if you believe in Jesus.
===
But, we will all give an account for our works,

Fine. I have no problem with that.
===
and for every idle word we speak.

Define "idle word".
What, EXACTLY, is meant by that phrase?
===
And what of those who lived before Jesus?
Those who couldn't follow and worship him?
Are their souls cast into the torment of Hell?
Or did they get a free pass to Heaven?
What of those who do not believe in Jesus or your version of Heaven?
What of the babies murdered on orders of Herod?

What, also, of Longinus? He who pierced the side of the Christ?
What of Barrabbas?
What of Cain?

OH and answer those questions in your own words
Try it - no cheating either

"And what of those who lived before Jesus?"

they had priests & prophets. once a year each family would bring a sacrafice and the priest would take it into the temple and make a "burnt sacrafice" for the whole family, to atone for the sins over the past year.

The priests ate well.

I'm curious, if homosexuality (that one version of sodomy, no one seems to care about anal or oral sex between married couples, also biblical sodomy and the same abomination) is a sin (the bible does not call it that, but we'll let that go), what are the other 613 abominations?
If they are also sins, why are people not picketing Red Lobster (eating sea bed animals) or tailors (mixed thread garments)? :headshake
They are the same.
Perverts are obsessed with sex.

This was divinely inspired… LOL!!!
