Imagine you are a creator and you die for all your creations. How is that going to be equal?
Considering, too, that He still continues to offer Himself in the Holy sacrfice of the Mass. He dies everyday in all tabernacles to show us that He is willing to die again and again for all of us, unworthy, selfish and doubtful sinners.
No... nothing can equal what Jesus' has and is giving...Like (3)

Dear Kind, Tenderhearted, Child of Light, Love & Life ~
One day, my old boss, surprised me when he mentioned Jesus, dying for our sins, "Humm, I said in my head", he's waiting for my reply.
I looked up to my Irish Catholic employer, and I had to be honest.
Just as I am now to you, Lady P.
"I'm sorry Dave,
I don't seem to really believe that Christ Jesus 'died',
For
our sins, so much as
Because, of them"!
His response, was.. "Man, you're really 'hard core'"
In my Prayers of Perfect Healing we are both looking better, feeling the merciful strength that is Pure Love from Pure Love. Our Hope becomes a stronger kind of confidence ~~ We Can We Do We Will, LoveHealsLike (2)

I only can say what happened was HE was betrayed. Payed for all our sins, with the ULTIMATE price. . .

Sin is a christian word without any meaning to the enlightened!
It's a term coined by the religious zealots in attempting to charge an emotional guilt fee
for humanity's display of bad conduct... Shame be upon you myth mongers!Like (1)

Agreed! Do unto others as... " the golden rule " stipulates are fine guidelines...when used as an ethical compass to reasonable conduct.Sadly,it's often employed along with bogus "sin" references in order to generate guilt and extort financial gains and obedience from flocks "Sheepish" followers :)

If you believe in that monotheistic religion, then i guess so because supposedly all were forgiven for the sacrifice of one (incredibly important) person.
if you believe in a polytheistic religion, then only one god was appeased, and while the appeasement of that god may be for a great many people for all eternity, there's many other gods who have not been appeased and may bring misfortune and damnation upon the population.
if you don't believe in higher powers, then no, because a single man became a martyr and a scapegoat for a great many people.Like (1)

Yes!
He didn't have to do it. It wasn't His debt to pay. He didn't have to get involved.He shed His bood on that Cross, for undeserving sinners such as I!
One friend betrayed Him. Another denied Him. He suffered a cruel, slow, and agonizing death. His own Father turned His back on Him in His hour of greatest need. He had taken on the sins of the whole world, and at moment, His own Father turned His back on His only Son!
On the Third day He rose from the dead. I had seen Him die. I didn't understand why He went through all of this. Why was it necessary?
He lookd at me with great intensity and compassion.
"Don't you understand?' He asked me earnestly." I went through it all. Do you know why I let my Father turn His back on me?"
"Why?" I asked.
"So He wouldn't turn His back on YOU!"
Amazing Grace!
