Yes, but, as I have said, I am well aware of everything you just said. I have read the same book many times. It is spelled out very clearly in that book but, when it comes to actually explaining what changed, there is no answer. There are just metaphors of his blood and how clean we are now. But in terms of actually saying "Jesus died and his soul left his body with such force that it created a void so intense that all of the energy vibrating at the same frequency was sucked in, inescapably. The only energy that matches the void's vibration is Sin. Hence we are all washed of our sins.
I understand that explanation is lofty and laughable, but to be honest, it is a better attempt than the Bible ever made.
Washing away sins is a metaphor.
But Jesus' blood sacrifice? How can you think that was anything other than literal?
Just because it doesn't fit the 20k meta physical jargon doesn't make it a bad attempt. Maybe you just make a bad attempt at being willing to accept it?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1475638I would hope you can see that I managed to upload a picture and pay for an account on GLP so I am clearly not mentally handicapped. I know better than to take anything in religion as something other than a metaphor. But even the metaphor lacks an explanation. There is no sequence of logic that spells out what exactly changed in both the physical and spiritual world when Jesus was killed. It just says "He died for you. And now your sins are forgiven". That is quite a syntax gap if you asked me. The question is "HOW?!". How in the world did his death actually help me be forgiven. Who was condemning me in the first place? God? So why send another of your creations to be killed and then use that as a catalyst to change your mind? There is a lot of reasoning missing here and metaphor, or not, it just isn't enough to really base something of off. Washing away sins is not just a metaphor. It is a requirement! This was shown when John baptized the Son of God. Even in His perfection, it was and is one of the requirements to enter the kingdom of God. Fairflight, I don't mean this as an insult, but you are really not doing a great job of answering my question. I have had countless years of Babtist bible study and nothing you are saying is new. Nor is it really what I would consider an attempt to answer the original question.
