Past tense? Also because the theory is that he died so that you get a second chance not a free pass. The way it was in the old testament you sinned you were damned no matter what next. The Jesus way being that you get to do a big overhaul repent and not go to hell. People think it's a cop out that you could just go " sorry jesus" on your deathbed and loophole it , but it doesn't work like that you're suposed to take J to your heart (church slang for accepting his moral code and applying it to yourself) ehich you can't really do at will on a dime you can fake it but faking it doesn't cut it dealing with omniscient entities.

Yep. That's the point he does he doesnt send you to hell you're choosing it. You really have your whole life to make a change but a true change. Think of it in energy terms you're charging yourself with the positive energy or negative energy of how you percieve your actions. You might do positive actions amd still be sins because you do them with a selfish intent they mjght look good to others but you know, you know why and what you've done and that's what counts. You could do things that other consider sins but if in your heart they are not then they most likely won't damn you. The loophole would be crazy people who actually believe stabbing you in the face is a gpod thing cause you are an alien lord from planet x... Well crazy people are loopholed in most religions since their perception is not clean you can't accuse them of using free will wrongly amd the whole basis of heaven vs hell is free will and consequences to exercising your free will.
