How do we know if he's saved us from it?

Jesus saved us from our sins, of course! Or, perhaps more accurately, didn't.
What changed according to the Bible is the need for all of those sheep and goat sacrifices vanished as Jesus was meant to count as the ultimate sacrifice. What a pity then that God didn't have that idea a couple of thousand years earlier and saved all those animals from their unpleasant role in a never-ending cycle of humans pretending to feel sorry for what they had doe, and then doing the same next week. At least now when it happens it can just be prayer.
But it does seem just a bit of an odd question to be asking. You don't believe in the initial premise in the first place, surely? -- and therefore all of the details that follow it you don't take seriously either. Maybe I think differently... it just seems weird to be concerned about the smaller elements of a big picture that you don't agree with or like or believe in or however it is you would put it. Similar "small-print" questions in a different context would be just as odd, I think.

Cannedgranny, if jesus absolved everyone (no religious affiliation specified)of their sins then presumably no-one has to worry about the sins of the fathers 'cos they've all been taken away. It is interesting that jesus was inclusive but the subsequently invented churches are not. Would jesus have approved?... I doubt it.
No, Cannedgranny, the reason that religionists so often drop out is that they suddenly come across a language which they are not trained in, its components being evidence, logic, argument, reason and commonsense. It puts them off because they're used to a world of comforting mantras, traditions and dogmas among those of a similar ilk. The challenge is too much for them.
Many times on this site I have asked what it is that believers will be saved from where I most certainly won't. What is to be my fate? Some are too embarrassed to talk of everlasting fires in this day and age (or realise just how cruel that would make their God). Whatever the reason, I have never had an answer.

Chakka25. You are right. The challenge is too much. To post on here if you actually believe in God is putting yourself open to ridicule and feels like being the coconut on the coconut shy as I have said before. Therefore I tend to be among those who stay away. The atheists seem to be always here to mock and attack anyone who is a Christian. I think if I were an atheist I would keep out of an area called Religion & Spirituality and concentrate on other things that I did believe in, but that's just me.
