Freedom from sin

There is something else I like to add to my husband's blog. It's the Christian misunderstanding that Christ died on the cross so that God could forgive our sins.

Besides the fact that God does not make deals like this, what is a sin anyway? A sin comes from a lack of understanding of the Truth that you find complete happiness on the inside, right in your heart.

So not Christ's death, but our resurrection "forgives" our sins; it actually erases them.

He who has knowledge of the truth is a free man, but the free man does not sin, for "He who sins is the slave of sin" (Jn 8:34).
