Forgive me for my hypocrisy and lack of true knowledge in this matter but this concept was something too big for me to ignore.
In a conversation with a fellow brother of mine, I learned something- something big, something huge, something infinite. In simple terms, you can call it Jesus’ crucifixion-mind boggling yet cliché, but let’s magnify this concept and actually take a second to think.
First let me emphasize a couple things; a single sin (not just actions, but motives and thought) is equivalent to eternity in hell, Jesus was a sinless and perfect man, and most importantly, Jesus died for ALL of our sins- past, present, and future. With that in mind, lets attempt to count the number of sins and will-be sins (meaning sins that will inevitably occur) that Jesus has died for.
The sins of my father and mother + the sins of my grandparents + the sins of my great grandparents + … + My sins + the sins of my children + the sins of my grandchildren + … = infinity (don’t forget to count the sins of your friends, your teachers, your peers, athletes, celebrities, neighbors, principals… Oh yeah and include their family lines also)
From a mathematical point of view, that’s infinity. STOP HERE!! Take some time to absorb all of that. INFINITY amount of sins and remember a SINGLE SIN IS EQUALIVALENT TO ETERNITY IN HELL.
In conclusion, a sinless man, who deserved nothing less than honest praise from each and every one of his creations, suffered the consequence of an INFINITE amount of sins. All for what? His own creations. How in the world does that make any sense?
Now here comes the real question. How is that possible? There is no way anyone or anything can do that? It’s unbelievable! It’s impossible!
Imagine. Even if this whole Christian theory was nothing more than a big hoax that was made to help everyday people get through everyday struggles, what creative mind could think of such thing?
I’d like to believe I think a lot- questioning everything, getting ideas from simple everyday items, pondering about anything, BUT I realized that these thoughts all stem from something else. For example, all my metaphors and views of life stem from something. It all comes from somewhere. There are no thoughts that just appear. Prove me wrong.
That means even if this Christian theory was all a “hoax”, the thought of it must have stemmed from something or someone. Maybe there once lived a person, who was a “good guy” and another person used that “good guy” to initiate a train of thought, which lead to the Christian religion.
Now, let’s think. If everyone in this world were to break down their walls, remove their masks, and reveal their bare naked selves, would there be a single pure soul? Would there be a single person that did everything right with the right intentions in mind? In other words, are there any perfect people in this world? I think not.
Through a process of elimination, the theory that a “good guy” was the originating factoid for the Christian religion cancels out, leaving only one theory to be true; there must have been a super natural power, greater than the human race that gave humans this idea of Christianity, making this Christian “hoax” into something real. The thought of that is simply unreal.
Think about that.
Once again, forgive me for my hypocrisy but look beyond the writer, look into the concepts and the theories, think for yourself.
