About Jesus, forgiveness, atonement and justice

Who care, just love God and love your neighbour. If you wont do it then God Bless you with the kind of love that empowers you to love your neighbour the way Jesus loves you. Eternally. That the whole point. Don't be afraid to love others moreso that you love your life. you are going to die anyway. Repent of the lies and the cheating and the killing, adultery etc and pick up your cross. Don't be afraid to be an outcast for the sake of love. Jesus was an outcast - they killed him because he loved without condition. While the people were beating him to death He prayed for their salvation! Don't you get it, that's the example he set for us. To love unconditionally, even on pain of death because eternity doesn't fear death. In the grand scheme of things death doesn't matter but sin matters. Jesus would rather die than sin. That's it. You can do it too, you can. Sin no more. Love your neighbour unconditionally. Forgive without condition. There is no war or offence taken in eternity. how can you enter eternity carrying the weapons of mortals: fear, anger & hate. These are the tings that motivate sin. In heaven there is no sin.... let go of your sins, turn away from them. Release them now while you can. Be free!!!! God bless you. ;-)

Sin is a designed construct of religion, created to instill fear in the people to take away our divine powers and force our acceptance for the church to be the self appointed intermediary between us and the prime creator.   There are no sins, only lessons to be learned. Its up to us how we learn the lessons, whether we pass the lessons or fail the lesson makes no difference because either way, God does not judge us, ..we are always loved unconditionally. Everything in the universe is measured as an energetic frequency.  Love is a high frequency emotion while fear and guilt are low frequency emotions and we are our own self created victims thru the guilt we hold inside ourselves, based on our belief in the construct of Sin.

he is not talking about that dude, now i think all the people agree on love and peace and etc, you think its just like this simple personal belief but each word of the bible can shape rules judgments and life in this moment we speak on this earth and it defines your afterlife which affects the life you live here. divisions between people and different religions that have the same faith as you do but in a different messiah, the bible and Jesus must remain a story to be learned for you personal growth as you should read other religions and science and have a balanced life accepting others reality....

I'm sorry I can't think straight right now: I ate too much for lunch! Nevertheless it is simple. Simple enough for a child to understand, In fact: "So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them, 3 and said, “I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. 4 The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. Matthew 18:2-4 Good News Translation (GNT) Allan says the Pharisees sought Jesus to die for blaspheme and that WE would do the same at 4:30 to 5:00 Don't take my word for it, listen to him again. If you accept what Allan says then you have refused to love your enemy, i.e., “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" Matthew 5:43-48Good News Translation (GNT) Allan Watts may confess that he is willing to kill under the "right circumstances" but don't let him convince you to do the same. Allow God to convince you to love your enemy as Jesus did when he prayed for the salvation of the men that nailed him to the cross. That's it simple. Love your neighbour. If the Pharisees loved knew to love their enemy they wouldn't have pushed for the killing of Jesus but the bible didn't come out until after the fact. lol All i'm saying my friend is this: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.” Mark 12:30-31Good News Translation (GNT)

@Sir FarSide Excuse me while i get a little personal with you. Is sin the reason why you lie(d) to your friends and family or is it because you are afraid that if you told the truth - they might not forgive or empathise with you? I suspect that you believe that there is no such thing as unconditional love for you and that's why you tell lies - because you don't want to lose the conditional affection you are receiving now. I lived like this and I still from time to time when i lose sight of God's sacrifice for me. I don't just believe that there is a consequence lying but I want there to be because I instinctively love the truth. The thought of not knowing the truth is terribly uncomfortable. Don't you feel this great discomfort when you know that you don't know the truth? Are you not instinctively eager to know the truth? I want to know the truth. I have to begin with myself and accept that I am a liar who wants to know the truth. I am a killer who wants to live forever. I am vengeful but I want to be forgiven. I live relative to my fears but i want to live in a courageous society. I am afraid and hateful of others but i want them to love me unconditionally. I feel lost but I want to know the way. Until i was forgiven i couldn't forgive others. Until i read about the courage of Jesus, i had no courage. until i realised how much Jesus empathised with me, I was incapable of empathising with others. I had to receive this stuff before i could give it. I had to receive His love before i could have it to give to others. I need His courage to be courageous enough to love you without conditions. I no longer have to lie to my friends and family because i have already been gifted unconditional love in the form of Jesus atoning for my lies, my "bad karma," my "sin," etc. And i already told you that i am vengeful instinctively - like i want justice - i want the bad guys to pay! But i am a bad guy - therefore i instinctively want myself to pay for being everything i think is wrong with the world. It's me. I am the problem. The Bible knows it too it doesn't shy away from this. It establishes that there is a greater authority than myself and has Jesus atone for my misdeeds to God, the authority greater than me. If not for this i would still want (on my authority) the "bad guys" (unambiguous and therefore includes me!) to suffer for their misdeeds. Whereas God would rather take the fall on behalf of EVERYONE. Can you see that God is taking responsibility for everything. He only asks that we trust his sacrifice so that we can stop judging each other.... but instead love each other. Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV) 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Challa - Not just my sins buddy, but for your sins too. If i don't believe that Jesus has atoned for you then i'll be left thinking that you are getting away with your misdeeds in this life without any comeuppance. I have this instinctive desire for justice and Jesus has satisfied my desire to see you pay for your crimes against humanity. He took the fall on your behalf. He took the fall on my behalf too. I believe this - and that's why all i have for you is love because of Him you are innocent to me. That's all.

Anthony Salame - I am not a judge that i should accept your reality or the reality of others. By the grace of God I empathise with you and forgive without conditions. There is nothing you can do that i will want to punish you for or demote you for. Live your life buddy, but if you feel like someone has done something awful and you cannot empathise with them or forgive them - i'd like you to know that the bible says that Jesus has atoned for that persons "sins." Now you may not feel like that is sufficient but i'd like to remind you that jesus has atoned for your sins too. What's good for you is good for your neighbour. i.e. love your neighbour as yourself. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 New International Version (NIV) iT IS WHAT IT IS
