Christianity basics

[Hotandbothereds]

I’m not a practicing Christian but I went to C of E primary school, regularly attended Sunday school with my grandparents as a child, so I feel like I know a lot of the Bible and always thought I had a good grasp of the religion.

But I feel like I’ve missed a huge piece of learning somewhere, can anyone explain?

I understand that in the Christian faith Jesus died to save our sins, but how? How is that connection made? How did his death make that happen?

And if he saved our sins then, do people who believe that consider themselves to be without sin?

I’m sorry if this sounds ridiculous, I genuinely feel like I somehow missed a huge important piece of learning here.

In my humble opinion you had a pretty good crack 😁Fully admit I'm prone to veering off topic and maybe going into a bit too much detail, but these things are important to me. For the most part I try to follow the general line of discussion and address any questions that crop up. The hows and whys OP asked about are related to the things I've mentioned in previous posts, which to me make up the basics of Christianity.

@Georkkardnoir Thanks for your thoughts, I know just what you mean.
