Why did Jesus die again?

[waitasec]

I read somewhere that our bodies are meant to live around 200 years presently, but, the air we breath is much different then the smogless and pure air in those days. The food we eat is so full of steroids and preservatives that you see deformities in children.

Even me, I am 6'9'' (6 ft 9 in) but the rest of my family is below 5'11'', I somehow got this height but nobody know how, but I am pretty sure its the junk that's in our food.

I've read stories about poverty stricken Indians (dot not feather) that drank mineral water from the literal caves they lived in and lived to be 125+

We are killing ourselves.

ok even then, our air has been polluted for the last century or so. compare that to the christian history books that this planet is only 6 thousand yrs old.
in the bronze age it was 35+
compared to today (global average) is at 67
Life expectancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I agree we are on the rise at the moment. However, if we ever did live for 100s of years then that dropped rather significantly for a long, long time until now. Either way we are doing better than we have been for a rather long time. I do agree, however, that we are killing ourselves and have been for a very long time. Chemicals in food haven't been the cause for a good long while(Even if they are a contributor) as much as famine, disease, war and religion have been.

This doesn't answer anything Java. Saved from what? It can't be sin since we know that sin has physical properties. If its an invisible sin then please explain why we needed saving from an invisible sin that never harmed us to begin with. Also could you explain what this invisible sin is.

This is my belief according to scripture. We are saved from the penalty of sin. The penalty of sin is death. Jesus died, paying the penalty. Sin is falling short of God's holiness. The law shows us we sinned. (thou shalt not lie, steal, commit murder, adultery, etc.) So if we have lied or stolen, taken God's name in vain, or not honored our parents, we would be, just from breaking those four laws a lying, thieving, disobedient blasphemer and we would go to Hell, which is called the second death. Jesus paid our debt so we do not have to, and this salvation is offered to anyone who simply trusts Jesus to have accomplished this in the shedding of his blood for the remission of sins.

if we need human sacrifice to overcome bad deeds i'd say thats ludicrous and whatever God screwed the pooch on that wouldn't be much of a God at all

My attempt at being an OT Christian seems to have failed. Christianity contains a hidden impossibility... but Jesus did not die for our sins, he died so that Christians can deal with added woe - hell. Moving punishnets and rewards to an afterlife was a marketing scheme. What is up with that religion? I'm starting to consider that it contains a self-destruct button inside...
