Why can't God just forgive our sins?


Dear SS( Sincere Seeker):

You said in #2 below, Some sins are so severe that even God should not forgive. The sinner has to pay the price. Think about this, if Hitler repented, should he be cleansed for his sins?

Basically, I think most people would agree with your above statement too.( me too, deep down inside me I like to echo with you the same disgust if someone like Hitler repent and get forgiven because we all have a built in sense of justice and fairness, right? After all, we are all made in the image of God. And our Creator God Himself is Righteousness and Justice) 

However, after we justify this kind of thinking and agreement, then come back to your favorite Q" Why can't God just drink a cup of coffee and forgive our sins? ( Why Jesus has to die for us?) Isn't that clear now why God can't "just " forgive sins?Can the Justice Himself judge unjustly? God being totally righteous and just, has to condemn the sinners to death penalty.(  that is the fact of life, we are all facing it as we age.) Yet, God Himself is Love, He loves us sinners, He doesn't want us to perish forever so He Himself( Jesus, God the Son) shouldered and bore all our sins on the Cross, so whosoever accepts His offer of salvation will be saved to have eternal life living in front of this eternal God. (You see that no one “just” forgives, if the evil is serious. Forgiveness means bearing the cost instead of making the wrongdoers pay the sin debts or penalties.)

Now imagine you would just drink a cup of coffee and forgive Hitler even if he doesn't repent or not really repent at all. You think that is fair? Are you contradictory to yourself? You ask God to "just " drink a cup of coffee and forgive all the sins, Can the Cosmic "Just" Being just do that to become the most corrupted Judge?( since He has the ultimate right to write and set up the laws, the rules.) You want God to be the worst judge and worst cosmic dictator?( worse than Hitler?)

In a word, you want  the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'

I hope this shed new light on you. Now read your #1 sharing  of your thoughts again.
1. You said "Jesus died for you" was really a silly idea fabricated by his followers.(It is absolutely not a silly idea, it is not fabricated by His followers.You are surely being misled and have deep bias about truthfulness of this statement.)  You said "God created you. God defined the sins. God can forgive you if you repent honestly and sincerely, and do not repeat. He doesn't have to hurt himself a hair at all to forgive you." (Please rethink! Although God is almighty, God is not able to do things against Himself, against His very Being and attributes.)  

 2. You said "Some sins are so severe that even God should not forgive. The sinner has to pay the price. Think about this, if Hitler repented, should he be cleansed for his sins? There is no such a nice thing that you sin and someone will bear that for you."( It is a sure thing that Jesus has died for us and borne all our sins.That is why it is called good news. This is a costly Grace in Christ because it costs God's own life.( Jesus is God/man) So Christians or others shouldn't abuse this costly Grace. Can Christians stay sinning all the times and treating this costly Grace as cheap grace? Not at all! I would tremble greatly before God if I purposely keep sinning; God will deal severely with those who abuse this costly Grace and God certainly knows who is abusing it. So we don't need to worry that the Judge can't judge justly and fairly.)

Jesus is still knocking at your door, open the door of your heart and let Him in!

May God's truth shine like the Sun!
