Did Jesus die for the sins of the world? ( Shabir's Opening Statement - 1 of 2 )
  • 12 years ago
Did Jesus die for the sins of the world? Was He Crucified as a Willing Sacrifice for the Sins of God's People? Did Jesus die to appease an angry God? According to the Bible, Jesus called upon God to save him. Let this cup pass from me, he pleaded, but no help came.Neither from God or his followers. His last words were, "My God, my God, why hath thou forsaken me". Those were not the words of a man willing to die. Those were the words of a man wanting to live!!
