>>748685Ok you might believe in the sense you think Christ was a real person. That's just factual history.
It's ok man, I'm here to spread the good news of the gospel and how the whole thing saved your immortal soul. You might wanna sit down for this as it's nothing like reddit has you believing.
1: Christ did in fact die for YOUR sins and everyone's sins but what does sin mean? Do you think sin is just doing le'bad? To what end or on what basis would God measure mortal debauchery to His own will? Makes no sense.
Sin means failure. Failure to carry out our divine will on Earth. Christ came along, God existing as man to feel for us, to experience as we do, and had a solution: He would purposely die on the cross, and all your failures past and present die on that cross with him.
Thats it. That's the joke.
>but…but bad things still happen waaaahhhhh starving uyghur kids and like…cancer and stuffIt does. Because people still fail time and time again. The crucifixion did not eradicate sin as a possibility, it eradicated liability of that sin and you can give it to Christ. Think of it kinda like blood libel plus its not really a social credit score thing. Me giving my sins unto Christ does not mean I'm somehow worthy now to go to cosmic Costco and get a membership card…
It means through the sacrifice Christ created a conduit, a filter by which my foils can be cooked without me facing karmic debt. I am free to just reap the benefits of salvation aka things i want and need, without having to toil for it, without having to be worthy of it whether morally or "spiritually ready".
