2000 years ago Jesus died for the sins of all mankind. He paid the price to god for all of us so we don’t have to. So the question is why then do
those who don’t believe still have a debt to pay? You see if Jesus paid for the crims and then we have to the pennants or pay the time after would,
then god is punishing two people for the same sin. He’s punishing me for my sins and he’s already punished Jesus. Now I know Christians are going
to come at me and say “but you didn’t accept Jesus’ offer therefore you have to pay the price.”
Well it’s not really up to me to accept his offer, you see if I was in court and I was sentenced and I had a fine I needed to pay, if you came up
and you told the judge you would like to pay the judge for me it doesn’t matter what I say, it matters what the judge says.
You could actually pay the judge without me even knowing about it and then when I showed up the judge could say no thankyou your fines have been payed
you’re free to go. But it’s the judge that decides whether or not to accept the alternative sentence from the innocent party – it’s not me.
When Jesus supposedly died for our sins, it was a plea to god to allow god to forgive us. Now it’s up to god to decide whether or not he is going to
accept Jesus’ offer.
Now I know god and Jesus same person and all that BS but it’s still the same idea, he has to convince himself in this case to accept the offer. It
has nothing to do with me accepting Jesus or you accepting Jesus, it has to do with god accepting Jesus.
If god doesn’t accept him you’re going to hell, if god does accept him then he’ll send Jesus to hell – which supposedly he’s already done
and Jesus has finished and come back again.
If Jesus has died for our sins and Jesus paid the price already then why is it that 99% of the people on earth are going to have to pay the same price
again?
God’s already been paid, god took the punishment from Jesus and he accepted it. He let Jesus die on the cross, sent Jesus to hell and did everything
that Jesus need to do supposedly for everyone who has ever existed. But then he’s going to extract that exact same payment the same sentence the
same fines if you will, for everyone else who lives.
So why is god being payed twice for the same sins? If god has already been paid off, if Jesus had already paid for my sins and Jesus has already paid
the fines, why is there anything left for me or for any unbelievers to be punished for?
To summarise - If god accepted Jesus’ sacrifice as payment for the sins of mankind, then why will mankind still be punished for the crimes Jesus’
sacrifice paid for?
