"He gave" He let his son die for us on the cross and took our sin, so that if we only believe in Jesus, then our soul will be saved. Even that our physical body are sinners.

OK. So you say that "he gave" actually means "he let die", so why not just say that? But he did not stay dead, right? So I guess "gave" really means "died for just for a while". Whatever... but the next question is how the hell does that imply that it "took our sin"? How would that work?  And how would any of that imply that some random belief results in our sole getting saved? Makes no sense. What is a sole anyhow?

"Gave" Whats written in the bible. I just explained as die for us. 

After Jesus' death, his disciples were hiding for fear of suffering the same fate as their master. They were convinced that Jesus' life had failed and everything was lost. Nevertheless, we see them coming a few weeks later, publicly proclaiming that Jesus has risen and lives.

As long as we live on this world will we be sinners because the devil is here. The only person who have lived in world and has never sinned is Jesus christ. Therefor we are all sinners and no one can be 100% sin fri, but god love us so much so he want to give us the eternal life as a gift even that we don't deserve it, so that we only have to believe in him/jesus and we are saved.

Because of Jesus' death, we have again become "the children of light". "Children of Light" is actually an expression New Testament uses those who believe in Jesus (eg Ephesians 5,8). Many mistakenly believe that Jesus in the day of judgment should stand like a whimsical judge and say "pigeons, do not you". 

As if Jesus wanted to judge someone. But Jesus does not want to judge anyone. On the contrary, he wants everyone to be saved. It is as Jesus says in the Gospel of John in the known place: "For thus God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 

For God did not send his Son of the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved by him. He who believes in him is not judged: he who does not believe is already convicted because he has not believed in the only-begotten Son's name. the judgment that the light has come to the world and the people loved the darkness rather than the light 

Ephesians 2:8: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from work, it is the gift of God.

OK. You seem to be very sincere about this, so I will not debate it with you any further. Makes no sense to me, but that is just how it is. Anyhow... best wishes to you. Take care...
