Original Sin and Atonement

 According to the Bible, the devil beguiled Eve who, in turn, made Adam eat the
forbidden fruit. But the real transgressor was woman as stated by St. Paul in his first epistle
to Timothy:

“And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in transgression” (2:14).

So through Eve, primarily, the Original sin was transmitted to each generation that
succeeded. Even in newly born babies the consequence of Original Sin is so severe that if
they are not baptized they are doomed to burn for ever and ever in the fire of hell (St.
Augustine). Till recently the un-baptized infants were not buried in consecrated burial
grounds because they were believed to have died in mortal sin.

Thus according to this Christian doctrine, mankind became doomed to eternal hell
because of the Original Sin, no matter how good and virtuous a man or woman may
be.

The Rev. W. Goldsek writes in this connection:
“It should be clear as daylight to anyone that God cannot break His own law: He cannot forgive a sinner without first giving him punishment. For if he did so, who would call Him just and equitable”. (Goldsek: Atonement, page 5).

So how was Divine justice satisfied? By the blood of Christ:
“Since Christ, God and man, has taken upon Himself our sins (by his death on the cross) in order to atone for them by giving satisfaction to Gods outraged justice” (Rev. J.F.DeGroot, Catholic Teaching, page 162).

• The Doctrine of Trinity defies reason and is repugnant to it. It is against the testimony of modern science, which has discovered that all of universe is one and is governed by uniform laws, so that its Creator and Ruler is One. The concept of three gods, each equal in every sense of the word and none being complete and perfect on its own casts the biggest slur on the glory, majesty and perfection of God.
  

• Similarly, the concept of Sonship and atonement of sins through vicarious sacrifice
  is defective. Is it justice that the sin, and that too a minor one committed by Adam
  and Eve, should make the whole of mankind sinners, so that even an innocent child
  who dies without baptism is condemned to eternal hell? Would even a primitive,
  backward society; accept such a view of Divine justice?
  

• Divine justice is supposed to be more just and perfect. Even if it is supposed that
  solitary and minor sin committed by Adam and Eve is transmitted throughout
  mankind till eternity, who is responsible for this transmission? Why, God of course.
  

• If so, why should mankind be doomed to eternal hell for an act of God?
  

• Is it justice again, and that too Divine, that the blood of the innocent Son (the only
  sinless person according to the Christian dogma) should absolve and redeem
  mankind?
  

• What would you think of a judge who hangs his own innocent son in place of the
  guilty criminals?
  

• And are those who believe in this doctrine redeemed of sin? In fact it encourages
  sin for a life long indulgence in sin can be washed off by confession of faith in
  atonement to a priest at the bedside of the dying person.
  

• To sum up here the story of Christianity in a few words

• Man drowned in sin, and God alienated from him and, in anger. To appease His wrath
  He sends His own son to the world through a virgin’s womb. The son is brought to the Cross and pays the penalty for human sin, thus washing away the sins of humanity with his blood. He dies for all, and then through his resurrection brings new life to mankind.
  

• This is the super- structure of Pauline schism as it was never taught by the Lord of
  Christianity. But it is not a new revelation. It has now come to light that Jesus as portrayed by Paul and others as “the new Adam” is only just the last of the virgin-born Sun-gods - Mithra, Apollo’ Bacchus, Horus, Osiris and others; all of them born at the first hour of the 25th of December. They all led a peaceful mission; the first miracle that all performed had some connection with wine; they all declared that they had come to save humanity through their blood; they all went to death at the third hour of Friday some time in March; they all remained in the tomb for two days; they all rose again on Easter Sunday; they all ascended into heaven with a promise to return.
  

• Thus centuries before the construction of the Christian church, different countries had already evolved a system of religion, which Christianity repeated word by word in the writings of the early Fathers. In the names of these virgin-born incarnates, people were initiated into their cult through baptism. Their votaries worshipped the Cross, and their great festivals were Easter and Christmas. In fact, the Roman Catholic Church, the first Church on Pauline lines after Jesus, is just a replica of the old cult of mystery; and Christian worship remains sun-worship with all its old features.
  
  

• How can we stigmatize Paganism as a false religion when all its features did but forestall the official Church in the West? If Paganism is false-hood, the formal Church must be falsehood too. Anyhow, current Christianity is not a religion if by religion is meant a code of life that may help man to live worthily in this world and in hereafter.
  

• Having briefly discussed the conceptual aspect of the Divine Being according to
  Christian dogma, one has to wonder when the upholders of the superiority of
  Christian dogma are seeking a genuine relationship with God, which one of the
  components of triune divinity do they establish such a connection with? How is
  such a relationship established and how does it benefit them spiritually? It becomes quite clear that since the concept itself is flawed, it cannot form the basis of a genuine and spiritually rewarding relationship.
  

The Bible upholds the concept of REPENTANCE

• 9:After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
  10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
  11: Give us this day our daily bread.
  12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
  13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and
  the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
  14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
  15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
