I Really Hope You Accept The Beauty Of The Christian Message Someday.

89. The concept of "original sin" is flawed and not consistent with Genesis.

That's what the author of Real Prophecy Unveiled and other books containing the message that is now published by the AFCPF here submits.

In more than one article on that site, it suggests that the "fall of Adam and Eve" was not about sex, not about "eating an apple," and not about any physical act. The disobedience was mental, and it was about the separate-self human ego indulging in "the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

It was about ignoring and disobeying God and acting AS a god, acting as if one was a wise judge of what is good and what is evil -- or what is "right" and what is wrong. It was about being self-righteous and judgmental, which is why Jesus of Nazareth said: "Judge not, lest you be judged."

I like that interpretation, because to me it makes sense. It exposes the myth about a woman's "curse" (menstruation) being a punishment from God, and the myth about the "original sin" as Christians perceive it.

Egotism is the original sin, and the ongoing sin, which is caused by egocentric delusion and the illusion of duality that enables people to indulge in the perception of their superiority and the inferiority of the other, which is why Jesus said: "When your eye is single your body shall be full of Light, and you shall see the kingdom of heaven that comes not with observation in the world, but from within."

It all makes sense when you know what it means.
