Ah. I see that you can't explain yourself. Okay.

That is one of the biggest question of the Christian faith. It's really hard to explain because it's hard to wrap your head around but it's like this. God knows exactly what is going to happen in our life because He knows we are humans and will make bad decisions. He gives mercy to some people and allows them to accept Jesus. However, He allows for everyone who wants to to come believe Jesus. You might say hey that's not fair, but God is the one who made this world and He made you too. He is the boss. But God loves you and He gave His Son Jesus to die in your place so you wouldn't have to go to Hell. If you repent of your sins and put your faith in Him as the only one to save you from Hell, He will give you eternal life. I'm sorry if you don't understand. Nobody really gets the complete answer to that question.

No it's not that I can't explain myself. I didn't see your post right away.

Any god worth worshipping is one that values kindness over devotion, imo. A caring, compassionate atheist is better than a cruel Christian.

Nothing I haven't heard before. But at least it's an answer.

Let me explain. God is a loving God. But anyone who is loving will hate anyone who threatens those he loves, right? God loves people. But sin is destroying people, so He hates sin and wants to get rid of it. But God can't just brush it away. Sin requires payment, and the only way to pay for sin is through death. But Jesus didn't have sin so He could pay for someone else's sin. He paid for the sins of everyone.

I'm a Satanist, soo.
I've never set foot inside a church before. -
I don't understand. If he paid for the sins of everyone, why is there still sin? If he died because of there was sin in everyone, why is it still going on?
-
Wait, who were you talking to?
I find the sacrificing of Jesus to be a bit barbaric, tbh. -
"Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification."
^~^ Since you Christians feel like quoting your Bible all the time, I'm going to start quoting the Nine Satanic Statements from The Satanic Bible. -
When Jesus died, He removed the penalty of sin. He made it so that we no longer are sinful in God's eyes. After we become a Christian, we undergo what is called sanctification. This process goes on till we die. Basically what it is is God helps us to become more like Jesus. Then when we die, we will become sinless and be able to live in Heaven forever. Hope this helps.

I think the sacrifice of Jesus is kinda... dumb. He kinda just wasted his life to stop something that's still around today.
-
Now I see what you're saying. Mmm, okay.
