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. Yahweh sent the existence of himself into human form. His Spirit, his power, etc. He was the Yahweh in a man the same way Yahweh has come in the form of a burning bush or a pillar of smoke. Someone who created existence can assume the form of his choosing. The role of Satan is as the accuser and the destroyer. You can look all over the ancient scriptures for evidence of this. So the idea is that yes, it is Yahweh who condemns and it is Satan who goes around bringing accusations against mankind. So, yes it is Yahweh who was doing the condemning. It is Yahweh who set up the SYSTEM for how man ought to act and what kind of punishment they must receive for how they act. And so, yes...out of Yahweh's love for mankind he did "wash away our sins" so that we may be seen perfect in his sight. And yes it is possible for Yahweh to do something just so he can be seen doing it and make us feel uber2x grateful for it. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I just honestly see a few of us making this very clear and every time it's explained you want to go rant about how it doesn't make sense and it's all a bunch of filler to make ends meet. When, in reality you're the one trying to invent new jargon and new theories to make a confusing issue out of something really plain and simple. You do realize that you, along with a handful of other people, have answered my question about a story by simply re-writing the story? That is equal to a physics professor answering a question about an equation, by continually writing the equation on the chalkboard. Repetition is not truth. It is just confusion repeated.
