Jesus Died for Me? Really?

A post by DTE at WWGHA:

According to the overwhelming majority of Christians, Jesus died for all men, suffering for their sins, offering them the very gift of salvation. The debt is paid, that religion says, all that is left is to believe and receive.

Let's assume that I won't come to believe and die in this present state, refusing the gift and going to hell. Isn't that double jeopardy? Jesus already suffered. Why must those same sins, punished by God on the very Cross of Jesus Christ by the shedding of that precious blood, be punished… again?

Is that the decision of a God that is perfectly just and perfectly loving? Maybe there’s another option. Maybe it’s the specific sin of rejecting God’s precious gift alone that will be my condemnation. Fornication? Paid. Drunkenness? Paid. Gambling? Paid. Wrath? Paid. Envy? Paid. Strife? Paid. Coveting? Paid.

Maybe all sins that are violating the law of God (which is how the bible defines sin) are forgiven, but that single sin of rejecting his gift—a sin against the grace of God is not forgiven.

But, wait. Many Christians—and this poster can drag them in by the dozen—will attest to being hard-hearted to the Gospel of Grace through many hearings before “bending knee to Christ.” The Bible itself insists on persistence in witness to the hard-hearted, hoping still, to save some.

So, it can’t be that sinning against the grace of god is the single condemning sin. It’s forgiven in many Christians by their own testimony.

Could it be that those sins, those rejections, are forgiven after finally accepting Jesus, putting them on the throne of your heart and making him Lord of your Life? Did Jesus suffer for every rejection prior to finally accepting him as Lord and Savior? Well, if that’s the case, how are those sins paid in full?

If Jesus paid for every rejection of every man except the final one of people that go to hell, mustn’t it be that God knew how many rejections had to be paid with Calvary’s precious blood?

If not, a man could simply run out of chances. If Jesus paid for a finite number of rejections, it’s possible the number of rejections could exceed those for which he’s paid… isn’t it?

But, if he paid for every possible rejection, men are sent to hell for work “covered by the blood.” Not only has Jesus failed to glorify god by saving me, he suffered in vain.

Doesn’t a suffering savior require universal salvation, the divine injustice of eternally punishing many sins twice, or that God simply didn’t want to save everybody and there’s no “believe and receive promise” in effect?

Well… doesn’t it?
