Redemption and salvation

Original Sin
We believe that normal human beings worship the God that is full of compassion, love and forgiveness. Almost all religions of the world also claim that their gods / goddesses advocate compassion, love and forgiveness. However, here we are full of s first sin committed by men and women who do not obey the commands of God as the Bible. Three of the major religions of the world, Jews, Christianity and Islam to his followers claim that they are sinners, it was your first father and mother committed a crime.
This statement, in turn, creates a feeling of guilt among the followers of the religion and their sense of guilt that leads them to fear God, born as sinners because they are subject to punishment. It also suggests sacred books, or rather humanity gives the promise that one day a messiah come to redeem us from that original sin. The messianic figure is excited by these religions, as the messenger of the gods or God or the son of God himself.
To a thinking man or woman does not sound reasonable or logical, because a God as a compassionate, loving and forgiving God, can not be so cruel as to all future responsibility for the generation of a sin committed by the first men and women. We are in our humble humanity innocence would believe that a God of compassion, love and forgiveness that have already forgiven this sin of the first man and woman. But Scripture denies the attribute of forgiveness from God and assures us that God is not compassionate, loving and forgiving, but it is punitive. The same script also assured supporters that God is just and fair.
One begins to wonder why this contradiction and reaches the only possible conclusion that the religious elite are using this sense of guilt and the consequent fear of the innocent followers for their control. Moreover, to impose more innocent followers of writing laws and frighten the innocent followers in the presentation. The fear of retaliation makes the innocent followers of these religions diligently to comply with the law of writing, no questions. Any opposition supporters who may opt for the rationality of the doctrine is properly treated, either because of severe punishment or death.
To add the fear of the innocent followers of the concept of heaven and hell spread the promise of heaven to hell for the obedient and disobedient. Any natural person, a logical to assume that God is compassionate, loving and forgiving would have forgiven the first par of their sins, in which case the question of redemption does not arise. When we think deeply about this issue becomes doubly clear that there is no original sin and that we are sinners, but not born pans in the hands of religious leaders.
Jesus as Messiah
In the Old Testament of the Bible from the first book of Genesis to the last book of Malachi, God has prophesied that the Messiah sent to redeem mankind from this original sin. Please see
Ge: 3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between your seed and your seed, and bruise your head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Mal: 3:1: Behold, I send my messenger, and should pave the way before me: and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he will come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isa: 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and have a son and call his name Emmanuel.
Isa: 9:6: For us a child is born, a son is given us: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsell, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isa: 59:20: And the Redeemer come to Zion and turn them of the transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.
Some of these prophecies are interpreted to say that God sent his only begotten son to redeem mankind. Also confirm the prophecies that the Messiah to redeem humanity by sacrificing himself and his blood to redeem mankind from original sin.
The Gospels of the New Testament claim Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. It also adds that Jesus was born of a virgin and therefore lacks the pure and original sin. Everyone knows the story of crucification and resurrection and not mentioning it to me.
But here again a man of thought begins to wonder about the prophecies of the Bible and the advent of Jesus.
The first question is whether Jesus was born of a virgin. The prophecies state clearly that the Messiah will come from the roots of Jessie, ie in the pedigree of King David, who was of the Jewish tribe. Mary, the mother of Jesus who is the cousin of Elizabeth, can not be a Jew. Zechariah, father of John the Baptist is a rabbi, and only the tribe of Levi and descendants of Aaron could become rabbis. It is very possible that Mary, the mother of Jesus was also a Levite.
As you all agree, if Jesus was born of Mary, then it can not only be from the root of Jessie, father of King David. If those who call themselves believers of Jesus insists on the virgin birth, then you are defying the prophecy of the Old Testament.
Lu: 1:36: And behold, your cousin Elizabeth, she has also conceived a son in his old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
In order to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, it is imperative that Jesus is the biological son of Joseph whose lineage goes back to King David in the Gospels. If Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, then it is not the Messiah, the Old Testament had prophesied.
Isa: 11:10: And on that day will be root of Jesse, which shall be kept by an ensign of the people who are looking for the Gentiles, and his rest shall be glorious.
However, Christianity assures us that Jesus is the Messiah and is going to prepare for the sacrifice that Jesus on the cross and shed His blood has redeemed us from original sin. All one has to do is believe in Jesus as the Messiah and are amortized over the original sin. Of course, various denominations of Christianity give another definition of redemption by the blood of Jesus and we all know that Christianity has thousands of names and you have thousands of interpretations of redemption.
It should be stressed here that only those who believe in original sin has a need for redemption and a messiah. However, the logical analysis of the Bible and God shows us clearly that there can be no original sin and can not be born sinners. As such, the question of redemption for a messiah, whether Jesus or any other person becomes null and void. Humanity can accept Jesus as a great spiritual teacher and nothing more.
Besides today's Christianity has exalted to the divinity of Jesus and says he is the son of God and what God is. Again, one has to think and analyze the facts. If Jesus is the Son of God as the Gospels of the New Testament claims, then surely there must be a mother. In other words, God can not have a child without the help of a female divinity. Nowhere in the Bible, whether Old Testament or New Testament, the female deity is recognized. By contrast, the writing tries to convince us that there is only one God, the father and not to other gods or goddesses. Christians accept Jesus as the Son of God are not willing to admit the possibility of a female deity.
It should be noted that the Bible says that God sent his only Son to redeem mankind. The Gospels and the later books of the New Testament assures us Jesus is the Son of God and God in His goodness sent his own son to be sacrificed for our sins. God is the creator of this universe that we all support. At the same time God's creation can not be called as his only son. To be the only son of God, the child should have a positive mother, a goddess or a human female. Nor is recognized for writing and those who questioned this deficiency were persecuted.
To be born again
We accept that Jesus was a great spiritual teacher who showed us the way to our spiritual enlightenment. In his various messages, told us the different things we need to be admitted into the Kingdom of God. One of the main criteria for admission into the Kingdom of God must be born again. Concern
Joh: 3:3: Jesus answered and told him, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, you can not see the kingdom of God.
Joh: 3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God.
Jesus said that unless you are specifically born again that they will not enter the Kingdom of God. As mentioned above who profess Christianity to follow Jesus, you have thousands of denominations within the religion and therefore a concept of "born again" can also be explained in thousands of ways. Once again this dispute needs careful thought and analysis. A man or woman can not be born and born again in the flesh. Therefore, this concept of being born again preached by Jesus refers to the spiritual birth of a human being and not the carnal nature of birth.
How can a human being born again in spirit? A simple answer to this trend that anyone can easily understand is not in the Bible. The Apostles have tried to explain this concept, but have failed to give a simple answer. Instead, it makes it so complicated that the preachers were able to interpret your explanations in many different ways to suit their own purposes and doctrine. But we need a simple answer to this question, which can be easily understood by all human beings. This is important because all humans want to enter the kingdom of God and not just smart or blind believers of the human species.
Most born again is the only way to achieve eternal life as professed by the Gospels and other books of the New Testament. So we need to know the true meaning of this concept of being born again. I do not pretend to be a student of Scripture or a spiritual master. I'm just a regular human being in search of the truth about spirituality. Therefore, in my humble way, I have been searching for an answer to this concept and here I put my belief of the meaning of "born again" for your consideration. I am open to suggestions on this topic as I do not claim to know everything.
When the first born to our parents, we are meat (in the belly of a child is surrounded by water) and a normal human being does not give any importance to the spirit that resides within the body and gives life. We assume that this body is experienced as a result and with the permanent fear that one day we will die. Of such importance that our state is for this body and the needs and pleasures / pain in relation to this body. Not normally thought of in the spirit that resides within us that is our life. I say this on a normal human being. Of course, some of us can be aware of our spirit from an early age and know the difference between our bodily existence and the spirit that gives life to us and makes our body a living body.
It is my humble belief that when we realize that we are not this body, but are really a spiritual being residing temporarily in this body and our spirit has no end (death) and eternal life is that we are born to new. Once we realize our spirit existence, then giving more importance to our spirit and know that this body is mortal, but not us who are spiritual beings. That's when we realize our existence ETERNA. This is eternal life to all human beings are looking for.
As I said before this is my humble belief, and I am open to suggestions on this topic.
Paul and Christianity
If you are familiar with the New Testament of the Bible, you will notice that most of the New Testament books are devoted to the Apostle Paul. Only the four gospels are dedicated to the life and work of Jesus. The acts, though some of the other apostles are mentioned, most of the book is devoted to the history, the message and acts of the Apostle Paul. Now the question arises as to why this important to Paul, who was not one of the original disciples of Jesus.
Those who are familiar with the New Testament we know that Paul was and what he did to the followers of Jesus. For those who do not here is a brief description. Pablo original name was Saul and was a sign of the Jews, well versed in the scriptures of the Jews. It is said of Paul learned that the scriptures of the great Jewish scholar and rabbi, Gamaliel. He was also a great oppressor of the followers of Jesus until he was converted.
AC: 22:3: I am certainly a man that I am Jewish, born in Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel and taught according to the perfect shape of the law of Parents and zeal towards God, as all of you this day.
According to the Gospels, Peter was the disciple whom the church of Jesus was to be built.
M't: 16:18: And I say to thee, that thou art Peter and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And yet, here in the New Testament is Paul who is not one of the first disciples, it is exalted and whose messages are considered as the true interpretation of the messages of Jesus. It should be noted here that Jesus spoke in parables to the people and then explained the true hidden meaning to his disciples in private. Please note: Paul was not among the privileged disciples who have received these messages and details of Jesus. However, today the church, regardless of the name always quoted Paul's words to justify their doctrines of Christianity.
Even when trying to explain the important messages of Jesus as "born again" is the term that Paul cites to justify its interpretation. The Gospels say Jesus had twelve disciples. But those familiar with the Gospels that Jesus had more of those twelve people as his disciples and most of them followed him everywhere and some were also women. Even in those acts, women are referred to the apostles in their way of preaching the Gospel. But Gospels suggest that Jesus had only twelve disciples. Was wondering why?
Is it not obvious that the number twelve was chosen later by the greedy bishops who wanted to equate Christianity with the then existing pagan religions? It is interesting that the twelve signs of the Zodiac has it, and twelve is a number sacred to pagans. Of course, this is a separate item and I will not go deeper into this, except to mention the readers to consider and think it over.
Now back to Paul, let's consider a theory. Again this is just a theory.
Paul as Saul hated the followers of Jesus and know where to prosecute found. In fact, it was the path from one place to another looking for the followers of Jesus and persecuting them. Now, this is the man who is now exalted above the original disciples of Jesus and in the strength of this man in the interpretation of Jesus' message that today's Christianity thrives.
Now let us see the scene of rapid growth of the followers of Jesus at the time of Saul, even though they think their persecution of Paul and the point of view. Here is a religion or doctrine of rapid growth, despite their efforts to destroy what is contrary to the beliefs of the Jewish people in the land of the Jews. These people are followers of the man who claimed he was the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Jews, all of which are a blasphemy in the eyes of the Jewish firm, Saul. How can stop this growing following of Jesus and save the Jewish religion?
The easiest way to destroy any organization is to destroy from within the organization and what a brilliant idea! Saul becomes Paul and convinces Apóstol hsi sincerity which of course is untrue. The innocent learned his apostles believe and accept him within their circle, and would recommend to the various churches will preach the gospel of Jesus.
Here is an opportunity for Paul aka Saul, having infiltrated into the folds of the followers of Jesus, to corrupt the message of Jesus, so, using his cunning high academic talent to deviate from the true message Jesus. Of how Christianity has adopted this interpretation of Paul in his letters to various churches, it has evidently succeeded in hiding the true message of Jesus and destroy it completely. All future bishops and preachers of the Gospel have enthusiastically accepted the teachings of Paul, as it gave them more leverage to control their respective churches.
Now if you go to many of the Pentecostal churches is heard to proclaim with pride, "We are following the Apostles." In Apostles refer to Paul and not the others. A deeper analysis of the entire Bible shows very clearly that religions based on the Bible is male-dominated and has a secret agenda to completely suppress the females in every possible way. Before the arrival of these religions, Goddess worship is recognized and accepted concept. Almost all the cultures of the world has its own goddess or goddesses.
The Catholic Church was smart enough to capitalize on this belief of the people and exalted Mary as the mother of Jesus (God) that his divinity, but to deprive women of freedom in the church or society . If you accept the divinity of Jesus and accept it as a child of God, then also accept the concept of a female goddess who participated in the birth of the son of God. All these religions the possibility of the existence of the goddess or goddesses. The latter part of the information is for you cree!
