Ok, please explain this to me. If I commit the ultimate sin of not believing in jesus, I will be cast into hell and tortured for eternity.
However, jesus, who took on the sins of all mankind, was crucified, dead for three days, then rose and now sits at the right hand of god.
So how does this work? I go to hell forever for my sins but my sins were forgiven by a guy who had a really bad hangover for a couple of days?
No you will not be tortured in hell, so you're wrong on that point, but yes hell will be your chosen eternal destination.
You are correct to say, Jesus took on your sins, yet they are not forgiven until you accept Christ as your Savior and Lord, no one's sin is forgiven until they accept Christ for who He is and what He did for them. There's nothing hard here to understand, it was made simple to understand.
Think it was just a bad hangover and I assume you know what a hangover is, try being crucified and let me know about half way through, oh you need to be beaten within a literal inch of your life before hand.
Well done. You completely avoided the question.
Want to try again and maybe actually answer the question this time?
