Concept of original sin is fundamentally flawed, skewed and fraudulent (2) In the first part of this series, I had established the fact that, religious beliefs are founded on and thrives on the concept of "original sin". Purpose of this piece is to expose this concept as a negative psychological tool, employed by the obscurantists of God idea, to hold humans bound to religious slavery. It's unfortunate, that the captives of religion, are unaware of the obscurantic mechanism that is at work. If a God can make you accept eternal guilt consciousness, that results from a sin that is not connected to your personal irresponsibility, then you can be held forever at the mercy of such a God. There's a principle in theology, this principle is the foundation on which the idea of the transcendency of God beyond the definition of good and evil is built. I paraphrase it as - "privileged revelation of an infinite God". By this principle, theologians says that there's nothing known or can be known, except that which God choose to reveal by himself, to whom he chooses, and at the time he chooses. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. How does this relate to the concept of original sin? The generational twist to the judgement of original sin, is also as unfounded as the alleged commission of the original sin. 1. Sin and its judgment is generational (first revelation of God on sin idea) Exodus 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Exodus 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, to the third and to the fourth generation. 2. Sin and its judgment is not generational (second revelation of God on sin idea) Ezekiel 18:1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, Ezekiel 18:2 What mean you, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? Ezekiel 18:3 As I live, said the Lord GOD, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. According to theologians again, if the second revelation on the same idea (sin) conflicts the first one, the second revelation, becomes Supreme, and automatically becomes the final word of God, on the idea. Based on this principle, THE JUDGMENT OF ORIGINAL SIN CAN'T HAVE EFFECT BEYOND ADAM AND EVE. Based on logic also, if two statements contradict each other on an idea, the two statements can't define the idea truly. Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, said the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, said the LORD of hosts. The later/second revelation of God on sin/judgment idea, is greater than the former/first revelation. Conclusion: the generational imputation of the judgment of the original sin (eternal guilt consciousness), can't be established biblically. There's no biblical basis for guilt, therefore, there's is no need for forgiveness from any God. |
Anas09:It's really amusing why a book, that contains myriads of obsolete claims, can't be reviewed to accommodate latest discoveries that are backed by facts. What possible mindsets would folks who romances a primitive and anachronistic claims have? That will not be fair and correct, to say that such mindsets will at best be ridiculously absurd. Why it took the Jewish Idol so long? Here's the answer : The nazarene through philosophy and psychology, found the similitude of Grecian myths and legend in the Torah, and he took advantage of it, to form extremist faction of Judaism - Judeo-Christian religion. It takes a different mental slant, to become a terrorist, religious freak, psychopath, sociopath or pervert. |
shadeyinka:I haven't heard from you since i suggested a debate topic to you. Well, you may also consider this one, in case you didn't find the other topic acceptable. Topic: Shadeyinka Vs Akintom: A Society Without God! *The society in its nativity is passive to God idea *The awe of the beauty and diversity of the society, ascribed to the causality of god idea is a pessimistic position, in the art of curiosity. *optimistic, initiative and critical approach to curiosity, is the only relevant factor in the adjustment to the dynamism of the society. I assert that the society has thrived without the "untraceable interventionist god". And it will thrive better, if god idea is annihilated. Waiting....... |
MrPRevailer:You have clearly betrayed the odious manners of typical apologists here. Always quick, albeit pompously, to arrogate to themselves the attitude of all knowing species. Equally arrogant are the apologists, just in the same texture of the Satan they vilify upandan. MrPRevailer:Defective and lame justice system. MrPRevailer:*Religion says don't judge, but leave judgment to God. *religion says god appointed leaders, so they should be revered *religion says forgive ALL offenses. *religion says don't hold past offense against a man in the present. If you ever can understand how, these worldviews messes up justice system, then you will come to terms with my drift. Have you ever heard any leader of African descent, that doesn't romance all the above trash. The Gambian idiot is calling out a "god fearing" zombie to come and conduct another election. MrPRevailer:We take them to the cleaners because in the first instance, they claimed that there's something in the nature of some spirit that makes them "unsinable". MrPRevailer:It's because the image is in the first place fraudulent and fabricatous. MrPRevailer:Christianity has largely been dispirited and you know it. It's being demystified by the day. You know why? Christianity was meant to be outgrown by honest and intelligent folks. Only those who are progenitorially idiotic, romances it till death. |
Heavenly102:Atheism isn't anything about proving the inexistent of god, that's the burden the theists will forever carry. It's simply lack of belief in god. The god idea is an assumptively a childish one. Which some apologists, in whom honesty can be stimulated, will outgrow over time. |
shadeyinka:Though my rebuttals may have been vitriolic, as perceived by few apologists here, but i harbour no grudge or bitterness against the very god idea or its children. Just that the crass overreaching of these folks, needed to be contained, therefore the shocking vibes. I shall like to engage you one on one. Topic: Shadeyinka Vs Akintom: the process of Christian Religion conclusions. I assert that the process by which Christian religion, arrived at its conclusions on god idea is by REVELATION, and no other means. *How did god idea ever entered human experience? *was it god that introduced itself to man? *was it man that found god? *How did the contact happen? If it's okay by you, do let me know. Gracias |

hopefulLandlord:This can't be said of folks who are anticipatorily excited that children will be burnt in hell. They abhor kindness, liberty, equality, freedom and pursuit of happiness. They are so mean and horrific in their wishes and desires, towards humanity. |
HardMirror:I sure have aversion for long posts, but this one from you is an exception. I kept smiling all through my reading, this intelligently scripted piece. I still wonder how folks, could be this sold on cockroach dungs.
|
hopefulLandlord:He will tell you that he was speaking in angelic tongue. |
hopefulLandlord:You guys have done serious and irreparable damage, to the kingdom of the Jewish doG. Its children here are obviously overwhelmed, and are greatly despair and broken. I really feel their frustration and helplessness. |
DoctorAlien:Why are you so anticipatorily excited about this illusionary promise of the Jewish doG, to burn itself in hell? Do you have hideous likeness for roasted human flesh? Why do you and your scarecrow hate human beings this much? If i say that the Abrahamic religions adherents, are samples of clinical case of chronic delusion, you will go into the usual and false denial mood. |
Hanaway:Not only you brother, i equally find those rituals of Abraham's children not only monotonous, but boring. Am kind of seeing it as symptomatic of OCD. As for the Roman government that wrote the Bible, they are not daft as such, because they never wrote the Bible for their use. Roman government wrote the Bible as mental control tool, just like the book- the making of slave. The bible was written to make men accept idiocy and savagery as a way of life. |
MrPRevailer:Now this is where the non-olodo answer is. The singular problem of Nigeria, and by extension Africa is LEADERSHIP. Now, the mental fabric of most leaders here, is threaded with religious and cultural beliefs, that are informed by irrational fears, ignorance, idiocy, laziness, imprudence, revelling, wastefulness and aversion to sound education. You see how everything is tied to lame beliefs system? And Abrahamic religions lead the primitive and impotent army. |
Orikinla:Accuracy? The author, editors, proof readers, cinematographers, cameramen, and all folks, that developed the Spiderman story, are more accurate in their work. Men who are purely religious obscurantists sat to fabricate a story, right in the city of Rome, via collection of different works of folks who belong in the same traditional religion. why would similarities not be found in their works? This same Bible have different versions, has been edited and it's still being edited. The creation of whatever the apologists call accuracy, is cooked up this way. Christians are simply progenitors of deliberate idiocy. |
Anas09:It's a pity. The usual apologist' hypocrisy - do as i say, and not as i do. You asked them to ignore (which is impossible for them anyway ), but here you are, you didn't ignore. What do i call you now? |
I must admit this to your credit. You at this moment, happen to be the only Christian apologists (i assume so) on NL, that pleasantly impress me, with your manner of engagement. I sincerely commend you. ?[/quote] shadeyinka:I sometimes seriously get worried, if you do take time to think through some of your responses. Or is it a deliberate attempt to drag issues? For instance, this issue of what forms the basis of atheists belief system, has been told you on this thread. I asked you then, what will you call a belief system that says that all that can be said to be REAL and TRUE, must be known through knowledge that is developed by OBSERVATION and not by REVELATION (the source of theistic beliefs). shadeyinka:I will not be drawn in different directions, when engaging anyone this time and henceforth. Your thread is about incest and how you attempt to premise it wrongly on the position of atheism. It will serve a general good, if we stay focused on that. shadeyinka:You're certainly referring to Christian apologists, who claimed that god is the source of all that is known, and that will ever be known. You folks went on to say that, this completely completeness of god as the all knowable, can't be questioned or investigated. Just obedience to the revealed fraction, will earn you folks the rewards of eternal bliss. This line of thoughts from you, is what informed my calling your consciousness of what you write, to question earlier. shadeyinka:You seem not to know the gravity of the word "know" in relation to putting forward "a claim". A "know" is not arrived at by assumption or by arbitrariness. How did you "know" that the source of consciousness can't be probed? shadeyinka:You sure know that there exist different theories, that attempt to explain the source of life. And if you know the scientific meaning of theory, you wouldn't say this. shadeyinka:The question again is - how did you folks know? shadeyinka:Remember the conclusion of some scientists few years ago, who claimed that metal will never defy law of gravity, but was rejected by some other scientists, who said there's future chances. Now metal can fly over 500 folks against gravity. How does the rejection of the conclusion, by the later scientists amount to PRIDE? shadeyinka:You mean biblical claims, came about by all of the above? shadeyinka:Yes it is possible. |
Anas09:It's a pity. The usual apologist' hypocrisy - do as i say, and not as i do. You asked them to ignore (which is impossible for them anyway ), but here you are, you didn't ignore. What do i call you now? |
hopefulLandlord:Not really brother. The guy has taken up the "battle for the lord" seriously. Wherever went the "lord of host", is the question he will not be able to answer. |
Deicide:Just wondered why the Holy Spirit didn't tell them ahead, of the pause mode. |
emmasege:the jehovah witnesses will fight with the last drop of their blood, on your no 2. Watch Out for contrary and opposing opinions from your fellow apologists. Are the Muslims now models for Christians? Oh, it's a federal character thing But you folks are not of this kingdom of Satan now You folks were strongly warned not to associate with unrighteousness and darkness. Why are you folks associating with NL whose CEO is reputed to be the king of unrighteous bunch? I hereby solemnly pledge, to abide by the creed of religious section of NL, so help me atheism.... I simply lack belief in god. |
Niflheim:They love money more than the Jewish scarecrow |
Niflheim:Brother, Nothing can be more descriptive of their customized idiocy. |
shadeyinka:The consensus among the neuropsychological scientists is that, homosexuality is a variant and not deviant sexual orientation. An authoritative reference for your assertion, might help your position. shadeyinka:No such assumption can ever emanate, from my basic thinking. shadeyinka:And they immediately assume that it must be god. shadeyinka:And those that can't be explained in the present, has future chances of explanation. shadeyinka:By what other means do theist arrive at their conclusions? Kindly be circumspective in your use of the word "assume", when referring to my assertions about Christian apologists. I speak of them, based on facts of their beliefs system and its implications. |
Anas09:How does writing my name make you feel? *help your invocation and incantation to be more effective? *sending your "spiritual" arrows to my real name, as against my moniker, will help your magic to be precise? *You're now perplexed and dried of useful rebuttals? You know what? am real, visible and known atheist. Deal with that. |
shadeyinka:This ambiguously written. shadeyinka:Religion is just one of the ideologies that be in the world. Human experience and civilization would still have progressed in this manner and fashion, without religious ideology. shadeyinka:Incest is cultural behavior and a descriptive word for a sexual act (psychological). While homosexuality is a physiological behavior. So, no common logical basis between the two. shadeyinka:This why i keep saying that Christian apologists are either mischievous or are in deed ignorant and primitive in their thinking. How do you define a system of beliefs, that insist that anything that is said to EXIST or TRUE, MUST be based on knowledge that is developed through OBSERVATION (atheistic beliefs) and not REVELATION (religious beliefs). |
Anas09:That "true" Christianity is being effectively wiped out now. Consider the following: * Christian messages and dominantly about material success, witchcraft hunting, leadership, relationships seminars, comedy and dance hall songs night shows. * fetish and idolatrous (Christian branding of traditional religion) materials eg mantle, olive oil, armband, stickers chaplets, have effectively replace the rebellious nazarene. * right here, atheistic thoughts and threads have dominated the NL apologists. Whatever you meant by "true" Christianity is not religion, is definitely from your written dictionary. |
availableisme:You will do well to teach that to yourself and your fellows, who are fixated in your very fashion. |
availableisme:You certainly know that there is yet no other word to describe thoughts, that in all known measures are nonsensical and idiotic. And it's intelligent to be able to identify such nonsense in folks thoughts, so that the appropriate remedy can be administered. To respect inimical thoughts and ideas is anti scientific culture and traditions. Folks who are malicious and distortful in the information they put in public domain, do have the appropriate descriptive names. Deal with that. |
shadeyinka:This is obviously a normal trend of civilization. Just as we still have culture that neither criminalizes or victimizes incest - Incest is sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This typically includes sexual activity between people in a consanguineous relationship (blood relations), and sometimes those related by affinity , such as individuals of the same household , step relatives, those related by adoption or marriage , or members of the same clan or lineage . shadeyinka:You will do well to state this your "wonderful" logic. shadeyinka:You will do well to isolate yourself from bunch of NL mischievous and ignorant apologists who don't know the basic differences between religion and a mere belief system. *an end of religion is an end of implicit and explicit idiocy and delusion, of the religious type. *an end of religion, is an end to vicious hatred, victimization, segregation and terrorism. *an end to religion, is an end to indoctrination of children against critical reasoning, creative thinking inhibitions, and rejection of inimical myths and superstitions. *an end to religion, is an end to psychological traumatizing of children with horrific, monstrous and ubiquitous skydaddy, that poke nose around and will throw them to hell, if its nonsensical rules are not obeyed. shadeyinka:Another puerile and foolish vomit of a typical apologist, on atheistic position. Atheists accept in the present, homosexuality as a variant and NOT deviant sexual orientation. Based on this knowledge, they shouldn't be subjected to harassment, victimization and criminalization, based on religious laws, that are in the first place not informed by any known sound or scientific reasoning. shadeyinka:That same logic? I have told you the definition of that "same" logic as nonsensical. shadeyinka:Wrong questions on wrong premises. shadeyinka:Non religious beliefs have advanced the world, to beautiful and beneficial level we are witnessing. As against the primitive and stone age that religion will prefer it remains. shadeyinka:This further confirm the disease of "over assumption in idiocy", that plagues most apologists. No one is as pathetic as a chronic case of religious delusion. |
How do you feel, when you find yourself in the company of court jesters? |
Just catching the fun
