So this cop comes to your door?

Question

He says he's got a warrant for your arrest. He explains it's not actually anything you did, it's something that your two distant ancestors of yours did--they stole some fruit from an orchard and their descendants are guilty as well.

You explain that actually you never heard of either of them or their supposed crime, but the cop says that makes no difference. He leads you away despite your protests.

So you go to court and the judge finds you guilty, even though you didn't do the crime. He explains that the penalty is that you're going to be tortured for ever and ever. The scientists have found a way to prolong someone's life so that the pain never ends. (Even though you didn't actually do anything yourself...)

Suddenly this guy stands up and asks permission to speak. It's the judge's son. The guy says he is willing to take your place. The judge says that's cool, but the guy has to be willing to be tortured to death instead of you, and you have to accept the deal.

Crazy, or what?

Answer 1

crazy, just crazy.

Answer 2

Actually when your ancestors did that crime, the same tendencies were passed on to you. The judge can give you a whole list of crimes you've done without even talking about your ancestors.

...and you do not have to accept the deal. Not accepting the deal...now is that crazy, or what?

Answer 3

Actually it is a case of theft as you say with a judgment against the estate for payment. Because the plaintiff knew that the defendants estate was never going to be worth the cost of the judgment he went in and repaired the structures on the property and gave the defendants a reverse mortgage on the estate instead of leaving them destitute to die in the streets.

Answer 4

Word games, semantics and attempts to confuse the issue.

Trying to place the spiritual realm into the context of the physical just won't work. Obviously (as everyone should be able to see).

The sin of which you speak is a SPIRITUAL one. God has given us the way to bridge the gap between Him and us. Of course, it's a SPIRITUAL bridge. And that bridge is the covenant of the New Testament. And, yes, that bridge was "built" on the sacrifice (called "atonement") of His Son, Jesus.

Trying to demean, lessen or ridicule it doesn't change it.

Answer 5

OR, say your ancestors stole riches from their neighbor and as a result, A hundred years later ,all your family members are living like kings, and the other family like paupers .Who should knock on your door ?

Answer 6

Could be, depending on how much power the judge has. The police could come and get the judge for the crime of creating a bunch of sinners.

Answer 7

That scenario would truly be insane if it took place. That would be crazier than anything in Alice in Wonderland.

(By the way, Alice went down the rabbit hole for your sins. Believe in her and your sins will disappear like a Cheshire cat).

Answer 8

Whatever. I'm very glad and proud to have believed it. Have you ever thought of sacrificing your life for someone else? Like your child? If you have thought of it, why wouldn't God? He is far above you or any of the rest of us. If you could sacrifice your child in order to save millions of people's lives, would you? I mean, after all, they're just going to be dead, right?

Answer 9

This original sin concept cant hold water.

The Crucifixion and resurrection/Mithraism isn't Abrahamic.

It is fiiting that the original New Testament is written in the Greek language because it contains Greek mythology.




"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and imposters led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." --- Thomas Jefferson

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)

"Initially there were 34 gospels that were compiled by word of mouth. Four were chosen for unclear reasons and 30 were left behind [burned]. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,

Answer 10

Bless you child.That's a fairly good likeness of what our Saviour did for us.But hardly anyone will notice it except other people of the same persuasions,in my way of thinking.Not that I'm saying that my way of thinking is "The way" to think. I consider myself realistic though.Christian radio,on the most part,is listened to by christians,and religious articles are read by christians.But I would like to be proven wrong here.I hope you get lots of unbelievers to consider their lost ways,that is,if you are a christian yourself?

Answer 11

So, you are saying that you are perfect, everyone on Earth is perfect and there is nothing wrong whatsoever, and there is no solution to the world's problems except this one really what seems like irrational one that our primitive ancestors (who must have had holes in their brains) made up out of the blue
