Matthew 23 makes this point fairly clearly, specifically verses 13-14, and can very aptly be applied to the catholic church, as well as any brimstone bible thumpers in the protestant/puritan lines. Christ didn't come to condemn us, he came to free us from our own self-selected condemnation, after all. At its core, the bible describes humanity as CAPABLE of creating reality with their mind, just like God created this material plane with his mind. Along this line of thought, if we envision ourselves as purely material brings, as described in the nature of deceitful human thinking/rationale detailed in the verses bridging Wisdom chapters 1 & 2, then our mind makes that reality true for the individuals who come to believe in the atheists "truth". It kind of brings the whole concept of "hell" into question, namely, is "hell" something we manifest IN THIS LIFE and really just a descriptor of the "total depravity" and "squallor" we can allow to become our reality? And if so, does it follow us to a place in the afterlife, or does belief in non-existence of the soul become manifest in what would otherwise be the reunion with the godhead after our time on this plane is complete, by instead resulting in pure non-existence after this "life"? Regardless, if we accept the premise that our minds reify our reality, then the bible and it's Tennant's are more of a guideline on HOW TO reconnect with the source of life and consciousness in this time here on this plane, so that we are able to keep faith and reconnect with God when our time here is over, as opposed to a bevy of charges which are levied over us simply because of our flawed human (ego) nature. Viewing "salvation" in this light also disarms the atheist/blasphemer's recalcitrant and misplaced ire at God, dispels the psychological projection of externalizing our own self-selected miseries, projecting blame on God, and allows us to see them for the projections they are. This topic is also touched upon in Wisdom, where Solomon expresses the fact that "Death" did not come from God. It came from our choice to eschew God and Christ, thus cutting ourselves off from the immortality which would otherwise be manifest without sin (and it's reward of death) Some food for thought. | |||
