No. Our sin is our own. We never inherited anything from adam but our route in biology. Sin is of the mind. An error in perception that causes you to react disproportionately, sinful acts. You can' blame someone from distant history for your choices now. You are not a victim of larger forces just your own obstinent disrespect for your situation
A soon as you think you are god tell me about it. There are no dead beings, not living bodies are just inanimate material. The breath animates animal.
Death is trying to hold on to what was. It is a resistance to the transformative process of life. Change can be scary.
It is monkey business to speak for death. We don't know it never have. It has been a mysterious thing for us. On the subject of if you eat you will surly die. You have not seen the terms clearly because for so long we have been instructed as to how to interpret by people who did not understand what they were looking at. I went over it earlier in this thread and will bring it back here to review. Oh brother. If you sin you surely die. Surely, to be sure If you make a mistake an error in perception, your certainty is lost. Yoursense of rightness or sureness dies, that is why it is said blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied. To judge against your brother in any form is to judge against your inheritance from god as we are companion to each other in creation. Where they feed you guys this ignorant shit? there justlessbreath?
The error in perception is caused by believing the fruit produced by the tree of knowledge which creates a false identity of who we are. In our eyes we are no longer children of the living Father, but a collection of memories, false judgments and false images.
Yes. But most importantly an error is not a deadly fault or a punishment. An error is not for punishment but for correction, this is why it is said go and sin no more. If sin were a condition we are born into then there is no way not to sin. In this realization your sins can be forgiven. That is you can learn can learn how to improve your capacity for clear apprehension. Clear perception without distortion: The eye us the lamp of the body, if the eye be sound, clear seeing the whole body will be full of light, understanding, But if the light in you be darkness, how great the ignorance. Errors in perception come from qualifying the facts. There is no quality that prohibits love. Appreciate what you see without adding your qualifications for the right thing you will see.
King solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes that the dead are conscious of nothing at all. Jesus spoke to his apostles on his way back to raise Lazarus from the dead that he going to awaken him from sleep. Stephen was stoned asleep.
In our eyes, we are alienated from god. That is why we must cultivate a personal relationship with him
No not in our eyes, your alienation is all your own. You don't speak at what i must do or what I see, I do that.
To thedope: Error in perception is caused by seeing strictly through the intellect. When the body becomes full of light a new seeing can take place that is through the heart. Then one can becomes fully alive.
To Justbreath101: Solomon didn't believe in an afterlife. He concluded at the end of his life that everything is meaningless. It a perfect example of someone trying to find life through the intellect alone.
No. Error in perception is mistaken representation. the intellect is for learning. There is no conscious schism between intellect and emotion. It is making a determination without appreciating all the facts, judging inaccurately as you judge so you will feel judged. Don't think there is an unworthy cause for anything.
