: Because quite frankly, there’s no such thing as sin.
: Seems a word/concept designed to interpret as best can be interpreted (by whom-ever) to
: un-awakened souls a truth of what it was which will keep them in bondage to illusion hence separation to Self, Christhood and God.
CeCe:
I told Diana that I'd be leaving this thread alone mostly because I see a doctrinal impasse which is okay. I do see sin as a possibility so inextricably intertwined/necessitated by human freedom and authentic love. But I wanted to honor your contributions with a poem of mine that almost meets your perspective half-way. It is linked below. It remains a Mystery to me how much inefficacious human behavior is due to lack of freedom, how much is due to lack of cooperation with grace. I think there is a LOT more sin than some folks want to admit. I think there is a LOT more lack of freedom and simple mistakes, too, than some folks want to admit. I know that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and that Providence works untiringly to redeem our mistakes and our sinfulness.
Be well. Remain here, now, in love.
