The angels symbolize Jesus as the only way to Heaven. As the blood ran from His face, the thunder roared the sky grew dark, and the earth trembled before Jesus died. Why would the earth react and tremble and the atmosphere be moved so violently right before Jesus died? A lot was happening in the spiritual realm while Jesus hang on the cross I believe the demons and devil pondered and murmured while they waited for Jesus spirit to release from his body then took Him to hell in our stead.…

According to 1 Corinthians, sin is causing another believer to sin.

I think Senkbeil makes a good point in saying that; although, baptism may cleanse of our sins it doesn’t give us a free pass to do whatever we want and sin. I feel like today many Christians may do things that they know are wrong or sinful but feel that if they just pray that they will be forgiven everything will be forgotten, but that isn’t how it works.

The sin and concept of doing what has been right never allowed humanity to be perfect. This is different from other religions, because it starts from the beginning of time. Christians go back to “original sin” which was conceived from Adam and Eve.…
