what did Christ die for ?
darren:
Paul"s letter to the Romans. Paul states it very clearly. Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences (sins) and was raised again for our (humans) justification. Absolving us from ALL guilt before God. Jesus died for our sins. Now if people want to say He died so God can show us how much He loves us, or this reason and that reason, believe what u will. Everything Jesus taught us and showed us was with love. God is love I and My Father are One. I dont believe Jesuse came here on this earth and go through the Roman;s brutal beatens, torture, humiliation,spat upon ridiculed,striped necked and pain that we have no concept of then nailed to a tree and hung there until death to show us how much He loves us. Jesus shows us through His teachings His miracle healings, the way He lived everyday of His life. His day to day life is an example of just how much He loves us. He did not have to die to show me how much He loves me. He did have to be the perfect pure lame to die in order to pay the price of my sins so i can have a personal relationship with Him and His Father. That i my be saved in the end.

I don't understand your above statement. Can you give your scriptural evidence of it using the following guideline from Ray in His paper "TWELVE GOD-GIVEN TRUTHS TO UNDERSTAND HIS WORDS?"
Thanks.
"…that in the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES every word may be established" (Matt. 18:16).
"…In the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES shall every word be established" (II Cor. 13:1).
[C] "And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES…" (Rev. 11:3).
This particular law of Scripture is constantly violated. We are to have at least a second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.]TRUTH NUMBER 6

What say the Scriptures?
Jesus said,
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13 J.F.K. how does this scripture say this is why Jesus died for mankind? We do however have Paul's letter to the Romans, Romans 4:25 tells us exactly why Jesus died for mankind.

Why are we looking at fingers and calling them hands?

I think mankind knows evil pretty good, and what were ro learn more so is goodness, but why call me good, for there is only one that is good and that is God.
