What Fair God would let someone suffer for someone else's sins?

[jpepling]

That is the way life works. if your parents are alcoholics then the kids suffer for it. If your parents are theives and end up in jail then the kids are put into foster care and they loose out. God does not want others to suffer is is just how things work.

How fair is it that you do not have to go to hell for eternity since Jesus died for your sins if you repent and put your trust in him?

[sara6398]

How fair is it to erase someone's sins with a sin? Does that make any sense to you?

[jpepling]

The penalty for sin is death. In the old testiment people had to kill an animal so that the animal's blood would pay for their sins. God came down became Man and paid for our sins by dieing on the cross. That is why we call him the perfect lamb. Sounds merciful to me that he died for you.

With all due respect, Islam makes way more sense to me...no one dying for anyone's sins in that religion. You sin, you pay. Simple.

Yes and in the Koran it tells you that everyone will go to hell and only a few will get to try to go accross the thread bridge to heaven. And The Bible tells us that no one can make it from Hell to Heaven. The Koran tells you exactly where their followers will go. Islam is trying to bribe a perfect judge to go to heaven. It does not work on earth and it will not work with God

[jpepling]

"In chapter 19 it says that Allah sends both the righteous and the unrighteous first to Hell. From there, if their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, and if they are able to cross a tiny bridge to Heaven—a bridge that is as thin as your hair—then they go to paradise. If not, they fall into the fire."

Islam is trying to bride a perfect and Just God with the 5 pillars. If a judge can be bribed then he is not a good judge. Are you saying that God is not good? Allah calls all of his followers to lie, steal and kill and do what ever to prosper Islam. Does that sound like a judge that you would want? Jesus tells us never to lie, never to steal never cheat. Jesus can only do that which is good. Jesus' promises mean something. Allahs does not. Allah is a father of liers.

That's the difference between your opinion and mine; mine is based on the Bible, and yours on ignorance. Shame. I refuse to waste my time (more than I already have) on people who attack other religions to validate their own. Go open a book.

[jpepling]

if your opinion is based on the Bible then you know that the only people who are going to heaven are those who trust in the Death of Jesus on the Cross. I try to open the Bible as often as possible.

[jpepling]

have you ever lied? Have you ever lusted that is adultery.If you hate that is murder. stop hurting others by not sinning. God tells us not to sin so we do not hurt others.

Biblical scholars estimate roughly 12 percent of the words attributed to jesus were actually spoken by a historical jesus-the rest are things writers wish he had said.
