Many human beings, out of ignorance of the will of God, do not understand His Love and Justice. They believe that God can permit a person to suffer for another’s sins in order to save him. If so, can we still talk about justice and love? The love that should lie in learning and maturing from experiencing the consequences of what you did and the justice that lies in experiencing the suffering and disharmony they bring and in reaping what you have sown?
Justice demands that one tastes the fruit of their volition, thoughts, words, and action, for these are indeed seeds sown into Creation, which must return to their originator. Love demands that we learn by experiencing the consequences of these and how they impact Creation and other beings. It is Justice that we get exactly what we have toiled for. Whatever one sows and nourishes, he or she is not denied, nor may he or she enjoy what is neglected. God, in His perfection, gives everyone exactly what one deserves through His laws.
The Will of God is anchored for us in fundamental laws that ensure balance and harmony, including the law of reciprocity, which determines that whatever one sows, he must reap. His grace and mercy lie in these laws that vibrate in love and justice. So, being a perfect God, will it be right in his laws for one person to suffer for what another did in order to save the person? It is just as unjust for a person to be given what is due to another, what he or she does not merit.
Do even our mundane earthly laws allow such obvious injustice? In justice, do we award a grade to someone who merits nothing or write an exam for one who is ignorant of a subject? They happen, of course, but they burn in our sense of justice if we are still human. We easily recognize these as laxities that encourage indolence and evil, which must bring collapse to society. Why, then, must we impute something we sense as unjust, something we cannot even do ourselves, to our perfect God? If we believe in an Omniscient Creator, we must give our God the honor of perfection!
The totality of our experience of Christ from His incarnation to His exit from the World of Matter, which occurred about 40 days after His physical death, is essential for our salvation. However, what is central to the salvation He brought, which He himself repeatedly insisted upon, is to re-establish the Will of the Creator as the goal of all human development. In many detailed teaching sessions, Christ emphasized that His word, which is indistinguishable from His essence, is what saves us and not His physical person or His death.
The only path to salvation lies in voluntarily adjusting ourselves to the Will of the Father, for as the Lord said – “Unless you do the Will of my Father, you cannot see the Kingdom of heaven.” This statement of Truth is repeated in so many other themes and parables and is so clear in its meaning and severe in its demands that it is difficult to see how it could have been ignored or distorted to imply that salvation revolves around the blood of the Son of God shed on the cross.
Yet many Christians understand Jesus’ death as a vicarious sacrifice or as a ransom for humanity’s sins. They have also described it as vicarious atonement or substitutionary atonement, in that Jesus thereby paid for humanity’s sins. These descriptions cannot be right in God’s will. The people concerned will not learn from this type of atonement or change. They will always hope and pray that their wrongs will be taken away and all their acts remain without personal responsibility. Without any impetus for personal improvement, they continue committing the same and even worse wrongs.
It is only through experiencing the consequences of our actions that one learns, improves, and develops. Only when a person experiences the wrong he did can he learn from it, make amends, and resolve not to do it again. Removing or shielding them from experiencing or suffering the consequences of their action cannot help their development and progress.
This is based on a failure to understand Love and Justice and is why those who believe that the main essence of Christ’s mission is to vicariously die on the cross find it challenging to understand the Will of God and make progress. This is the reason behind the failures of the Christian religions, from the inquisitions to the collapse and continuing fragmentation of modern Christianity.
In His Love and Justice, the Almighty Father cannot permit a person to suffer for another person’s sins for that other person to be forgiven. Everyone must reap in full what he had sown and nourished. We sow seeds with our thoughts, words, and deeds. These are spiritual-ethereal seeds that are nourished by further such thoughts, words, or deeds from us or from other similarly minded individuals.
Once sown, spiritual seeds cannot be uprooted or unsown. Once they leave the originator, they increase by attracting what is homogenous and mature to return to its origin as a multiple of what was sown. Like material seeds, however, sown spiritual seeds can be denied nourishment by the individual abandoning that path, i.e., turning away from the given volition, thought, or activity.
According to the Laws of Creation, these seeds must return at maturity to their originator. He or she finds forgiveness only from experiencing the returning effects. If he or she thereby learns the right or wrong in the Will of God, he or she repents and learns to adjust to the Will of God. He has thereby achieved forgiveness.
The individual may also find repentance through shared experiences with others or through adjusting and living the Word of God, before the consequences of his or her actions return. He or she is then protected from the full weight of the returning fruit, which so to say bounces off his or her purer personality. The person experiences the evil sown in a mitigated fashion or not at all, shielded from the full weight of it by the good volition now surrounding him or her.
The individual may thus symbolically redeem the offense by a mitigated form. In this lies the perfect balance of Love and Justice of God in Creation. Redemption, salvation, comes through reaping what you sowed or changing to ward it off when it comes back. But the fruit must return to its originator. Your deeds must find you.
Recognizing that an act is wrong comes only through experiencing the returning effects of our action, through sharing the experiences of others, or in consciously living the Word of guidance from God. This prompts remorse and a resolution to change, which may prevent the full weight of the suffering in a symbolic manner or ward it off completely when it eventually comes. We should bear this in mind as we enter the Easter period to prepare in the correct manner to experience our own resurrection from Matter and the resurrection of nature.
If we persist in claiming that the innocent blood of Jesus shed on the cross washed away the sin of humanity, we must also ask ourselves whose sins are washed away – those of His contemporaries, sins being committed today, or those to be committed in the future. Sins committed even by those who either do not recognize Him as the Son of God or who claim to do so but only so as to exploit the name for their own purposes?
If Christians insist that Jesus’ blood washed away only their sins, i.e., that of those who really recognize Him, why is there so much sin still amongst the so-called followers? Has claiming the blood really cleansed the individuals? As far as I can see, only those amongst Christians, as amongst all humanity, who accepted His teachings and live accordingly, i.e., those who do the Will of His Father, are cleansed of their sins.
The essence of Christ’s mission was not to die on the cross in order to buy us remission for our sins with His blood. His death became necessary because of humanity’s response to His mission and the increased activity of Lucifer forced it. We must look for the essence of His mission in His personality and in His words.
It is in His work that we are meant to recognize His volition. And His words and actions, as documented in the Bible but above all as anchored in Creation, are eloquent of who He is and what He expects of us if we are to benefit from the sacrifice of his mission.
The knowledge of the Laws of Creation, which He taught with characteristic simplicity, the covenant of Love, which He established with all who genuinely seek God, the enabling power to overcome, and the hope for the future which He gave have inspired, fashioned, and sustained our world to this day. It is only a sign of the time that in spite of increased awareness of His mission, the recognition of the essence of His personality is fading, and the majority are drifting into godlessness. This increased opposition to Christ, a sign of the Anti-Christ rearing its head, is a sign of the end time.
The doctrine of vicarious sacrifice, which teaches that Christ incarnated on earth to take upon himself our sins, which were then nailed on the cross for our redemption, the blood thus shed washing away our sins, cannot be right.
Sacrifice must be understood as giving of one’s self entirely in the service of God. It must represent the free subjecting of one’s volition to the Will of God. It is only in this sense that we should see the death of Christ as a sacrifice and not in the sense of His blood being shed or poured out to cover our sins. It is as untenable to assume that our sins may be forgiven just because we have shed the blood of an animal as it is to believe that the blood of an Envoy of God unjustly shed will grant forgiveness and salvation. As already discussed, forgiveness is something we must achieve through genuine repentance and a strong volition to adjust our lives to the Will of God.
If His sole mission was the sacrificial death, he could have achieved the same by dying as a youth or even as a child under the vengeful conceit of Herod, who wanted to shed His blood while still a child. Why go through the suffering and agony of life in first-century Palestine, rejected and misunderstood even by his own friends?
The misconception that Christ was sent by the Father to be sacrificed on the cross for the redemption of our sins prevents those who hold this view from focusing on and benefitting from the actual purpose of Christ’s mission, which was to bring the Truth and guide us through a recognition of the Truth to the Will of His Father.
It is a blessing of our time that knowledge about the Will of God has been made known to all who seek such knowledge with an alert spirit. In these last times, the Spirit of Truth has proclaimed the Will of God to all mankind, and in the knowledge He brought, the myth and deliberate obscuring of the mission and death of Christ have been shattered.
