[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not a Biblical scholar, but I am an evangelical Christian and am happy to take a stab at this for you, especially since no one else here will! To say that Jesus "Redeemed" humanity is to say that He saved us from ourselves - our sin, which is what separates us from God. We are all sinners - everyone of us - me, you, every DCUM reader, everyone. Sin and God cannot co-exist. So because we have it in our lives, we cannot be reunited with God, either here on earth or in the afterlife in Heaven. Jesus took that sin, died on the cross, went to hell and rose again from the dead. He conquered sin, and death and through Him, we can have the same victory. It is the ultimate redemption because we could never be good enough or in any other way save ourselves. He is our only hope. Why did He do it? Because God so loved us. He literally sent His Son to die for us in an attempt to get us back. [/quote] This makes zero sense. How did he 'take the sin'? What does dying on a cross have to do with it, lots of people died on crosses back then? Rising from the dead means conquering sin? Please elaborate on this thing you call sin. It's something that can be taken, something that can be conquered, something that everyone is, something that everyone does, and it's something that is something but cannot co-exist with God who is supposed to be a creator? [/quote] Imagine a cross is symbolic of intersecting light and dark. If people make mistakes by a mesure not in text but universal (say survival of the fittest) they die away. So, people live they’re great they’re horrible they die. But the soul still exists. The soul has a karmic debt. Until you choose to refine your soul you inherit the sins of génèrerions before. Jesus intercedes as half man half spirit with the authority to enter all realms, and willingly assert his free will. The deal is, people can have it if they believe. Rhis is only the opportunity to connect. It doesn’t guarantee thriving in holiness. It means you have a path and a ticket on the bus. It doesn’t mean you won’t be divorryrd etc etc But it means you aren’t cast down for all of eternity because of the sins of forefathers Christ See Human Resources is that intersected cross Christ in us One path: light The sun No one comes except through light It’s literally demonstrated in images we constructed and grows all things Being fruitful Meanwhike water in our spirit, gravity it There is an unexplored metaphysical realm that connects and intersects faith and fact; that is why belief becomes the evidence of things hoped for [/quote]
