Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
What she said is standard Christian theology.
The writings of Postle Paul have been accepted as the standard interpretation of what I taught...till this place in time.
Ms. Coulter parrots it well.
But the ultimate "agreement" [Testament] is about accepting the idea that
everything is by agreement.
Whatever seems to happen to you, it is by agreement.
It can only be by agreement if there is a reality of oneness superceding all appearances.
If by agreement, there is really no such thing as guilt or sin.
The agreement is not "new".
Only your awareness of it is "new".
Going from zero awareness of it to full awareness of it there may be intermediate steps.
These steps are "old" once the new is accepted.
An intermediate step is to see others as the "same" as you.
Laws and tribalism tend to cultivate the idea of sameness.
For example, one law applies to all without partiality.
But these are only symbols.
Going beyond symbols of sameness, we eventually arrive at the idea of oneness, which is the law of love.
In sameness, there is still this lingering idea that someone can do something to you without your permission. And if so, that one must be guilty of some sin.
In oneness, you realize that no matter what the appearance, you but do these things to yourself.
In short, it is but yourself you can crucify.
No one can really do anything to you that you have not already done to yourself first.
When this is fully realized, it comes to your awareness that there is no such thing as sin, and guilt is a hoax.
What remains is universal innocence.
So forgive.
"Old" forgiveness says, "You did something wrong. But I'll have mercy on you for a price."
"New" forgiveness says, "You've done nothing wrong. See, I have not been hurt at all".
When I rose from the "dead" I sent the message that I was not hurt at all by what seemed to have happened against my will.
By this I showed you how to forgive.
Your own sense of innocence is dependant on seeing the innocence of others.
This is according to the law of oneness.
Through this practice, you will wash away the bogus feelings of guilt still buried in your subconscious mind.
Once it is completely washed away, you will experience the effects of an innocent mind.
An innocent mind cannot suffer.
Innocence is your defense. It is the only defense that can work.
And this is the "Atonement".
Atonement is the process back to a full awareness that you are innocent via oneness.
As an example, actors "agree" through scripts to do all kinds of things to each other in front of the camera.
Are there "guilty" actors? If one actor shoots another, is the shooter "guilty"?
The world is not diffrerent.
It is a stage upon which actors have experiences.
The world and the bodies that seem to walk about...these are all props.
The props hide what's behind the scenes.
This results in believable experiences.
The audience experiences emotions when they can suspend their belief...believing in the actors.
The props are all for the emotions...the experiences.
The emotions/experiences are all a fantasy...a wish.
When they are no longer wished for, the play is over, and all go home.
This world is not your home.
