    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    Heaven can only be achieved through Jesus!!! Here are some verses that say that: Acts 4:12: “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved,” John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father...

    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    To be totally honest, I'm not sure despite the amount of research I've done on the topic. However, there are some ideas. Of course there is the Catholic Theory that Jesus went down to hell and brought the peoples of the old testament up, however I've found no proof of that in the Bible, and...

    Oftentimes, no matter how much we prepare, death comes as a shock. your daughters may just not have fully accepted it yet, and aren't ready to mourn. I'd suggest sitting down and talking to them. Try to turn mourning into a celebration of everything he accomplished! sit down, and talk about the...

    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    We are not perfect, which is obvious. That is why we need the salvation of God, but we have to let him into our hearts first. Because there is no way to earn it. But if one does not love and accept God into their hearts, he or she cannot recieve the blessing that is salvation.

    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    Allow me to further explain my view! In order to receive salvation, one has to love and accept God into their hearts. The verse I chose says "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was...

    yes! however, I do not see how this changes what I wrote. If it does, please explain how so, so that I can correct either my view or the way I wrote it out.

    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    I understand where you are coming from, however, this is a complicated topic that ties into the idea of free will and predestination. I will try to explain the concept I believe as best I can. To begin this explanation, I must set the stage. To do so one will ahve to accept the following...

    It's okay to be sad, and it's okay to mourn! In Matthew 5, it specifically states "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.". Everybody is thrown into turmoil, and when something as especially hard as this comes along absolutely NO ONE in their right mind can expect you to just...

    Horrible intrusive thoughts

    I have this quite often too, many of these are vile and just straight up gross to be honest. I pray you'll be able to recover and learn to deal with these. One thing I often do, is remind myself of what God would want me to do, and pray to Him. This usually tends to help it all go away. I...

    The lockdowns accomplished absolutely nothing!

    The lockdown was an immediate response from the government in an effort not to overwhelm hospitals, and at the time seemed like the right thing to do. As can be seen in the image below, in an article from hopkin's medicine written by Lisa Maragakis, M.D., the protections were out in place so...

    Fear over predestination

    I agree with @bojack ! You have the free will to choose how you live your life. That's why it is a struggle. God gave us free will so we can seek and praise Him. I believe God would not choose someone to be predestined to go to hell. He is omnipotent and omnipresent, satan could not and will...

    "Jesus died for everybody's sins"

    He died for everyone, and everyone has the cabability to recieve His grace, but it is up to them to pursue God and to accept and receive that forgiveness. The verse I think best correlates to this is 2 Corinthians 5:15, "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer...

    Out of curiosity... from Australia :)

    He's obviously not an amazing Christian example, but I'd like to argue that he is not nearly as horrible as he is painted out to be. A lot of the things he has done have actually helped the country. I think many people took his win in the 2016 election too personally, so his every move is...
