    Jesus came to die for the sins of Man, not the sins of all men. The famous John 3:16 is “God so loved the world who sent His only Son, so that whomever may believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

    The idea is that murders, rapists, and general good people can go to heaven so long as they believe that Jesus died for them.

    Then again, here we are, debating semantics of a book that has been the cause of wars and famine.
