Why did Jesus die, William?

I had a hard time with Trad for a long time. We still go 'round and 'round on issues, but I've come to appreciate the way his mind works, even if I disagree with him on fundamentals. As Jane would have it...It isn't so much that he has improved in essentials (indeed, I believe he is the same as ever he was in that regard), it is just that he improves upon acquaintance.
I cannot abide The Horn. His musings are pure folly.

I don't like the Horn either, but I guess that belongs in the "posters you didn't like and still don't like" thread.
To save smucks like you and me from sin (Jn. 1:29) and to give us His life, eternal life (Jn. 3:16; I Jn. 5:11-13). The benefits of salvation are too numerous to list (Rom. 1:16).

Is it your belief (today) that His death took away the sins of the world? When Paul said that Jesus died for our sins, how long after His death did Paul say this, and what sins was he speaking of?
Nick, he, did speak a great deal about love.

I, for one, will not be holding my breath in anticipation of either of those events.
In a really weird way I experience some comfort in your consistency ... sort of like seeing the sun come up ... only not nearly as attractive or illuminating.
His death is a substitute for the penalty of sin. It is a perfect provision for all men and all sins. However, universalism is not true, so there is a condition for subjectively appropriating His objective provision.
I deny that future sins exist, but I do not deny that there is provision for them if they are actualized.
"It is finished". We can add nothing to His finished work, but we must receive His free gift vs reject it (I Jn. 5:11-13).
A child can trust Christ and His death/resurrection without spouting various atonement theories held by equally saved believers.
Since you don't know why He died, this will help:

Thank you for admitting that you reject the Gospel outright.
How many sins were in the future from Jesus death when Paul said that "Jesus died for our sins"
Yes, we know you worship and serve a goat god.
