Died on the cross ...

[locust]

not to mention they had ropes across the beams by which men would help pull it up as it slid into the hole .
You ever seen them metal loops that looked circluar . while it was down on the ground
they slid rope through it and as men lifted others helped pull it by them ropes .
Which once they let go of both the ends in their hands they could just pull it on right through .
OH they sure had means to get the job done . Some people think people in those days
had no wisdom . THEY Did . many would marvel at how they could build such things
and even such structures for waste and etc . SO good
that men today marvel at how men could do this andwithout modern technology .

i dont know about rope and metal loops ,ok maybe in the movies all because it makes good press. we always just muscled them up.

yes , from the research i have done the romans could get creative on how they attach someone . it was all about torture. discovered the crossbar up near the top was done to prolong the suffering ,even to make it last for days . not the case for Jesus and the other two that men .they had to be dead and buried before sun down

apparently crucifixion was one of the worst kind of punishment, most painful and could last days like you mentioned, it was truly evil what they did.

it sure was my friend . it sure was .
And i can assure us all JESUS didnt have his back ripped wide open , so bad in fact he could have died
from the wounds alone . And then go to the cross and suffer
so that men could invent another rainbow and kiss korans and do great evil , IN HIS NAME EVEN .
He came to set us free FROM sin
NOT TO DENY the need to BELIEVE ON HIM by producing a sin embracing unbelief interfaith lie
People are using the NAME of CHRIST , but not to preach the dire need to BELIEVE ON HIM
but rather to glorify sin and unbelief . And beleive you me , Unto all who did that
A harsher damnation awaits them all .
May i suggest we have NOTHING TO DO with the false inclusive love of interfaith and its strange diverse SIN accepting
and UNBELIEF accepting LIE .

So you don't have to do anything, like repent (even though he commanded us to repent)?

Where have I even implied that?
I've been replying to questions about how God deals with Christians.

 

[locust]

i have come to understand that jesus did not die on a cross . it was nothing more than a pole .
which makes sense when ya realize how quickly the three men died. when hung on a cross it can take days to die .but mere hours when on a pole. even less when the legs are broken .
thing is the story about the cross being used was supported by the 3ed century church as fact

You said every Christian would reach heaven. It sounded like if someone says, "I am a Christian," then they reach heaven. I believe they have to repent first (Matthew 4:17).

 

[locust]

i do have a problem with the thought that every christion go's off to heaven at death . because of matthew 5:5 and Isaiah 11
someone is going to be here on this earth for a very long time

Being a Christian is not stating that one is a Christian, but as you rightly say means repenting of si s and accepting Jesus as ones Saviour.

Mere church attendance, moral behaviour or an announcements makes one a Christian.

We've all been told that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. Why did dying on the cross save us from our sins?

We are saved from our sins if Jesus forgives us. We know that Jesus has the right to forgive our sins because God raised him from the dead.

How does God prevent Satan from forever tormenting us for the sins we've committed?

What did the jews have to do concerning remission . IF the blood of bulls and of goats ,
offered of course from a repentant heart , could purify the flesh
and keep them safe
HOW MUCH MORE the BLOOD of CHRIST can purge the concscious .
We gots far too many rainbow holders and keyran and budda statue kissers
Money lovers and justifiers of their sin , unrepentant
PROVING its LIP ONLY at most and that rather they use HIS NAME
as a means to CONTINUE IN SIN . EVEN WORSE now many within christiandom
now rush as troops to the lie of satan himself , the house of WHORE
and her interfaith and now even accepts UNBELIEF as well as sins . PROVING YET AGAIN
we got a VERY serious problem in the HOUSE friend .
Allow me to remind us about the one JESUS said went to HIS house justifed rather than the other .
Notice that man was weeping , notice his contrite and sorrowful heart
as he beat upon his chest and said LORD have mercy on me a sinner .
NOW lets notice what HE was NOT DOING
HE was not standing and JUSTIFYING HIS SIN . NOW was HE . Too many have fallen in love
with another image of what they all think is of GOD and is love . ONLY its the devil USING such names
to feed them their own wicked hearts desire with a promise of salvation too . PS , HE CANT SAVE anyone .

I would say that when God allowed Satan to have Jesus, who was without sin, killed, Satan lost his credibility to torment us for our sins. In this way, Jesus died for our sins.

Does the Lord wave a magic wand to prevent Satan from tormenting us for our sins, or does he have a strategy?

I'm not sure I understand the question behind your question. But as we learn from the book of Revelation, God destroys Satan and having done so, he will no longer be able to torment us.

Where is it written anywhere that satan torments us FOR OUR SIN .
Me thinks folks forget , Satan will not be tormenting the unbelievers in the lake of fire
HE WILL BE TORMENTED along with them . Just saying .

What do we do while we wait?

Right now I am anticipating cake for my 70th birthday. Other than that, I don't know where this is leading. :)

I'm trying to point out that things aren't always as simple as we make them out to be. Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. Wonderful. But how did dying on the cross save us from our sins?

Someone might answer, "Because God demanded a sacrifice." Okay, then why did a sacrifice satisfy God?

My birthday is Monday. I'd be more likely to have a burger and fries, except I'm struggling to keep my weight down.

Happy birthday to @CadyandZoe and @Bob Etsy (I have a 5 minute birthday cake that you can make in the microwave that is out of this world) feel free to PM for the recipe if you would like.

There are only two people in scripture celebrated their birthdays ironically

Pharaoh
Gen 40:20 wherein the chief baker got hung
And Herod
Mark 6:21 wherenin John the baptist lost his head

Those are the only places birthday parties are mentioned
