Why did Jesus have to die for our sins?
His death , if you accept him as your savior, erases the original sin which was punishable by your mortality - thus allowing you to have everlasting life in heaven.
Couldn't you simply have forgiven the original sin and given us everlasting life without Jesus needing to die on the cross?
???
Yeah Dad!!! Why is that?
