In the Old Testament, God required animal sacrifices to show obedience and ask forgiveness for one's sins. The New Testament changes that by asserting that Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice, so that nobody need do any of the things from the OT that were required of believers. Since Jesus was sacrificed, one must accept that sacrifice (ie: know Jesus) in order to show devotion to God. The origin of 'finding Jesus' is one thing I can quote:
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6. By doing this one also acknowledges one's innate sin -- after which you receive forgiveness for said sins. So in that respect, yes, God did absolve all people of sin.

I'm sorry, but I kind of giggled at this.
"I am God, infallable and awesome with power! Just, uh. Wait a second, here. Forget about that
sacrifice business. I am going to send some guy down there, and he's gonna die so you don't have to get blood all over Earth anymore, k? Awesome. Glad we're clear on that."
I mean, am I alone in seeing the lol in that? I don't mean to offend. I'm just sayin'. ;_;
Also, I would probably never follow a guy who said "you can't talk to my dad without talking to me
first, buddy."
