Question about "Got made it all, Jesus died for our sins." |
Just a note of trivia:
Boaty still has the same signature he has had since the twentieth
century. After all these years, it occuredn't to him to insert a
semicolon where there is a comma.
It's a shame he rarely posts here anymore because he was like a sort
of novelty item, like those glasses one can scrunch yet they shall
return to their original shape.
I have a question regarding the signature. Means "died for our sins"
that Yeeha died because of our sins, or that he died in order to
affect future sins in some way?

If what the christers say is true, the Jesus character didn't die for our
sins, he died to get something he wanted from us.

And you don't find that the slightest bit sick and twisted? I sure as hell

At least you are admitting that the Jesus character didn't die for US.

Nope, sorry, you already admitted that the god character did it to get us to
love it. If it broke the bonds of sin and evil, it was only to facilitate
that goal.
It supposedly got what it wanted, yet you call it a sacrifice. That doesn't
make any sense.

He could have thought of a better way of getting
loved than getting nailed to a damned cross !!
Or was there a flourishing S&M scene going on there ?
(Apart from the massive Roman one of course !)

I know it seems like a strange way to try to love and to be loved.
But when you look closely at the whole concept of sin, evil, and victimhood
in relation to the law of life and love, Civility, it is possible and
conceivable, to begin to "grok" its meaning and its truth in relation to the
individual historical participant (you and I) as a victim of circumstance
and of the "sins of the father", and as a causal free will agent of progress
change, and of social justice, with almost unimaginable potential, just
waiting to be unleashed.
When we escape the web of evil, and begin to consciously tread it under
foot, and instead grab up the lines (of historical causation) harnessing for
God, the energies of love, then we are really onto something, in terms of
making this world a better place.
As a point of radical and trasformative forgiveness, the cross then becomes
a great springboard of historical progress in the face of evil. Since all
evil is relative to the victim and since Christ being all good, became the
embodiment of all evil on the cross, then evil or the relativity of evil
terminates at the cross, according to Jesus' own interpretation of the
highest possible expression of the law being mercy, and not sacrifice. So he
made the final sacrifice, and turned and said to us then "*I* ask for mercy,
and NOT sacrifice". He is the high priest sacrificing himself in the fire of
the divided middle, who threaded the paradox of the historical contradiction
of the duality of good and evil. Jesus set a new standard of mercy and
forgiveness then with the cross, in relation to all sin. Thus he died for
the sins of the many. He frees us from the bondage to sin, and from the web
of lies which are a degenerative disorder which is distributed
generationally.
Jesus' sacrifice, given who he was, and given the overall largest possible
and imaginable historical framework to which He himself stood in relation
TO, was the most astounding act of Grace, ever conceived.
He is the good doctor of sin and evil.
On his salvation turns the whole universe, really, at the end of judgement,
where all that is left is Truth, Mercy, Goodness and Light, Life and Love.
To understand or to fully "grok" the cross of Christ is to have Christ
himself place the crown on your own head, no matter how undeserving you are
of it.
You then, are compelled to "go and do likewise".
There really is a great principal of truth and justice illuminated in the
image/framework of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It really IS an image of love.
Unfathonable, merciful and graceful, and wonderful, love.
Who would want to throw THAT away?

Unfathonable, merciful and graceful, and wonderful, love.
Who would want to throw THAT away?
In Jesus's worldview, all evil is relative, both generationally and to the
victim, and Goodness, Mercy and Righteousness, and Forgiveness, are the only
absolute, or final standard of justice, through his sacrificial vicarious
atonement offering.
He followed his calling, and that is were it led, and it is in this way,
according to the "will of God" that Christ was or became God.
Through Christ, the love of God is made transparent to us.
His body, on that cross, was an implicately rendered image of the entire
universal mind/body spectrum, of God, on all points, and from all angles,
within and without, pouring himself out once again, on the divided middle
cross of universal creation, and destruction.
He threaded the needle and the great paradox, and no one but God could have
done it, since he alone was the sinless victim, willing to take
responsibility for the suffering of sin and evil, yet being all good.
Let's set the record straight.
This is no fairy tale. This is about a principal of justice which by far
transcends anything we humans could have come up with on our own.
What I am saying here is either true, or it is a lie.
After all, what is power if not the power to choose.

In Jesus's worldview,
No, in 'what you imagine Jesus's worldview to be...'
Because we know nothing of what Jesus actually said,
only 2nd hand reports written around 30-90 years after
the so-called 'Jesus' had died.

You sell us short. Humans are very creative.

Yep.
After all, what is power if not the power to choose.
And I choose the truth, even if it is at times unpleasant. Like the
unpleasant fact that I will die, as will my children. Life is here and
now. Grab it and live it. Don't wait for a reward you only wish
existed.

Just a note of trivia:

image/framework of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It really IS an image of love.
Unfathonable, merciful and graceful, and wonderful, love.
Who would want to throw THAT away?
In Jesus's worldview, all evil is relative, both generationally and to the
victim, and Goodness, Mercy and Righteousness, and Forgiveness, are the only
absolute, or final standard of justice, through his sacrificial vicarious
atonement offering.
He followed his calling, and that is were it led, and it is in this way,
according to the "will of God" that Christ was or became God.
Through Christ, the love of God is made transparent to us.
His body, on that cross, was an implicately rendered image of the entire
universal mind/body spectrum, of God, on all points, and from all angles,
within and without, pouring himself out once again, on the divided middle
cross of universal creation, and destruction.
He threaded the needle and the great paradox, and no one but God could have
done it, since he alone was the sinless victim, willing to take
responsibility for the suffering of sin and evil, yet being all good.
Let's set the record straight.
This is no fairy tale. This is about a principal of justice which by far
transcends anything we humans could have come up with on our own.
These principles were very popular with all of he multitudes of
Messiah's in Jesus's time. Religion was a big business and the people
who wrote about a Messiah called Jesus of Nazareth had the best
product of that time.
This product was so good, that Emperor Constantine saw value in it for
manipulating large populations of people. He took the most
manipulative books from the writings of the Christ people, compiled it
into what is now called the bible, and forced his subjects to worship
the Christ, using that religion and that book to control them.
We have seen throughout the ages how well this religion and book work
in controlling populations. You are of course a prime example of this.
Thanks for sharing emperor Constantine views.
Constantine never converted to Christianity. The best Christians are
those who do not believe. Probably Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat
Robertson, George W. Bush
What I am saying here is either true, or it is a lie.
After all, what is power if not the power to choose.

Just a note of trivia:
Boaty still has the same signature he has had since the

a
semicolon where there is a comma.
It's a shame he rarely posts here anymore because he was like a

I have a question regarding the signature. Means "died for our
sins"
that Yeeha died because of our sins, or that he died in order
to
affect future sins in some way?
If what the christers say is true, the Jesus character didn't die
for
our
sins, he died to get something he wanted from us.
To be loved.
Dinner, a movie, and flowers always gets me "loved".
I know it seems like a strange way to try to love and to be loved.
But when you look closely at the whole concept of sin, evil, and
victimhood
in relation to the law of life and love, Civility, it is possible and
conceivable, to begin to "grok" its meaning and its truth in relation
to
the
individual historical participant (you and I) as a victim of
circumstance
and of the "sins of the father", and as a causal free will agent of
progress
change, and of social justice, with almost unimaginable potential, just
waiting to be unleashed.
When we escape the web of evil, and begin to consciously tread it under
foot, and instead grab up the lines (of historical causation)
harnessing
for
God, the energies of love, then we are really onto something, in terms
of
making this world a better place.
As a point of radical and trasformative forgiveness, the cross then
becomes
a great springboard of historical progress in the face of evil. Since
all
evil is relative to the victim and since Christ being all good, became
the
embodiment of all evil on the cross, then evil or the relativity of
evil
terminates at the cross, according to Jesus' own interpretation of the
highest possible expression of the law being mercy, and not sacrifice.
So
he
made the final sacrifice, and turned and said to us then "*I* ask for
mercy,
and NOT sacrifice". He is the high priest sacrificing himself in the
fire
of
the divided middle, who threaded the paradox of the historical
contradiction
of the duality of good and evil. Jesus set a new standard of mercy and
forgiveness then with the cross, in relation to all sin. Thus he died
for
the sins of the many. He frees us from the bondage to sin, and from the
web
of lies which are a degenerative disorder which is distributed
generationally.
Jesus' sacrifice, given who he was, and given the overall largest
possible
and imaginable historical framework to which He himself stood in
relation
TO, was the most astounding act of Grace, ever conceived.
He is the good doctor of sin and evil.
On his salvation turns the whole universe, really, at the end of
judgement,
where all that is left is Truth, Mercy, Goodness and Light, Life and

To understand or to fully "grok" the cross of Christ is to have Christ

That paragraph was completely without content. "Sin" is not a concept
atheists adhere to. What concept of "victimhood" are you referring to?
What's the "law of life and love, Civility"? "Grok" is from a work of
science fiction, and not clearly defined even in that concept. "Sins
of the father" is another concept atheists find repulsive. "Free will"
is contradicted by the Christian God.
You are stringing together undefined terms, or terms used in a context
so odd as to strip them of meaning. A lot like the "Mission Statement"
generator on the Dilbert home page.
When we escape the web of evil, and begin to consciously tread it under
foot, and instead grab up the lines (of historical causation) harnessing for
God, the energies of love, then we are really onto something, in terms of
making this world a better place.
What "web of evil"? How can one "grab up the lines of historical
causation"? What are the "energies of love"?
As a point of radical and trasformative forgiveness, the cross then becomes
a great springboard of historical progress in the face of evil. Since all
evil is relative to the victim and since Christ being all good, became the

What a load of meaningless verbiage. It comes down to this:
1) Christ lived or he did not.
2) If Christ lived, part or all of the testaments of his life are true
or they are not.
3) Christ died and was resurrected, or he was not.
1A) The evidence that Christ lived is inconclusive at best. If he did
not, Christianity is false.
2A) The New Testament is internally inconsistent. At least some of it
is false, and we cannot know which parts, and we cannot know he was
divine.
3A) There is no evidence that Christ was resurrected. None outside the
Bible, and we already know that the Bible is not a reliable source.
Before you build some grand cosmology, you might want to tie it to a
fact or two.
Jesus' sacrifice, given who he was, and given the overall largest possible
and imaginable historical framework to which He himself stood in relation
TO, was the most astounding act of Grace, ever conceived.
If Jesus was at all, and if he was a god, and if he was resurrected,
then he made no sacrifice at all. He took a three day nap at best.
He is the good doctor of sin and evil.
I'm with you there. The Bible is the source of all sin, as it defines
acts a wrong, not because of their results, nor because of the actor's
intentions, but because they violate the arbitrary word of God.
On his salvation turns the whole universe, really, at the end of judgement,
where all that is left is Truth, Mercy, Goodness and Light, Life and Love.
Well, I'd prefer he'd get on the job. Billions of years of suffering by
all form of animal could have been avoided if he's made better choices
of acted with alacrity.
To understand or to fully "grok" the cross of Christ is to have Christ
himself place the crown on your own head, no matter how undeserving you are
of it.
Never seen that happen.
You then, are compelled to "go and do likewise".
And when I meet Napolean in the mental ward, I'll attack the Russians
just like he say.
There really is a great principal of truth and justice illuminated in the
image/framework of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
There is terror, cruelty, chaos, in that book of mythology.
It really IS an image of love.
Tell me of God's love. If hee could have prevented this, but did not,
he is no friend of mine!
http://crime.about.com/library/blfiles/bldaniellevandam.htm
Unfathonable, merciful and graceful, and wonderful, love.
Again, http://crime.about.com/library/blfiles/bldaniellevandam.htm
Who would want to throw THAT away?
In a heartbeat, I would. If your God is, he is the auther of all that
is cruel, evil, painful, and unjust.
