Physics and Definition of Sin, Repentance and Forgiveness – Part 11: We Sin Less than we Think

 

Sin is a broad subject with a lot to talk about.  I don’t want to talk about sin without talking about repentance.  I don’t want to talk about repentance without talking about forgiveness.  The few things I want to cover are:

If you do not understand something I’m saying, please ask.  The concept may be hard to grasp at first but it will change how you see yourself and your life when you do.

We Sin Less than we Think

This is kind of a hard point to address.  Sin has become such an abstract word that it means different things to different people.  If sin is a physical condition, like we have discussed, what must be done for something to be constituted as sin?  An action must take place.  James the brother of Jesus sums it up like this:

James 1:15
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

This is why Jesus spends so much time talking about our thoughts.  Our thoughts are where our spirit battles with our flesh.  It goes back to the principle of the seed.  Temptation is a seed and our mind the field where it is planted.  When that seed is planted, like a weed, it doesn’t take much care to grow.  Once it is grown, it produces fruit.  Fruit is action.  When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, corruption entered their body.  That corruption gives birth to desire which gives birth to sin which will eventually bring death.

This is why Jesus makes statements like, ‘If a man looks upon a woman and lusts after her he commits adultery with her in his heart.’ (Matt 5:28).  Number one, he is referring back to David and Bathsheba but more importantly he’s addressing the weight of our thoughts.  We need to weed our thoughts and think on things that are good (Phil 4:8).  Our thoughts are where we chop a tree down to the root (Matt 3:10).  Its best to do this before it has a chance to bear its bad fruit which is the sin.

We can’t avoid temptation, especially in our day and age; its everywhere.  Temptation comes from anything we see and/ or hear.  Temptation is not sin.  Jesus was tempted yet did not sin (Heb 4:15).  Dwelling on temptation is not sin.  But if we entertain it until it becomes a desire or lust, it is like Eve holding the fruit in her hand drooling over it.  She hadn’t sinned yet but was imminently about to.  She believed the lie that she couldn’t touch the fruit.  When she touched it and did not die, she reasoned that she could eat it and not die.  You know what its like to be starving and walking into a kitchen with the sweet smell of food.  All your senses, your entire focus turns to food.  You’re stomach begins to scream in a gravely voice, “Feed me!”  Any other fleshly appetite is no different.  If we believe that these appetites are sinful when they are not, we will eventually reason that there is likewise no penalty when we feed them.

You can think about donuts all you want, but is that going to make you fat?  No.  You can think about sex all you want, but is that going to make anyone pregnant?  No.  Does that mean we should necessarily think about these things?  No.  Most of us get upset and repent for our thoughts.  We are not commanded to repent for our thoughts because they are not sin.  This is a problem because we usually end up tearing ourselves down for what we think about.  I used to do this a lot but no so much any more because of a question Paul Nordvik asked me; thanks Paul.  In your life, you need to discern what is temptation and what is sin.  You may find that you don’t sin as often as you think you do.  When you do sin, you should be able to be specific in confessing that sin.  If you can’t, then either you haven’t sinned, or if you have, that sin hasn’t been revealed to you yet (Lev 4:27-28).

It is said that our sin separates us from God, but does it (Is 59:2)?  When Adam and Eve sinned, who did the separating?  Adam and Eve.  Who hid?  Adam and Eve.  When we sin, we tend to think that it is God who separates from us which is backwards.  We think he moves far off but we are the ones who distance ourselves because we are ashamed.  Our mentality is the same as the younger brother in the story of the Prodigal Son.  “I’m not worthy because . . . .”  We think God can’t be in the presence of sin yet God is omnipresent (Ps 139).  Think about that for a moment and let it sink in.  We think all these things because this is what we’ve been taught (by doctrine) most our lives and it hinders our relationship with our Creator.

Stop looking at yourself as a sinner; it puts the focus on you and your sin.  Thinking you are a sinner while knowing you’ve repented and that works don’t justify or condemn you is an oxymoron.  A sinner is someone who continues to walks in sin and does not repent.  You have repented and are striving towards home.  That means you are on the path of righteousness.  Someone who walks the path of righteousness pressing towards home is righteous.  Our Father looks at us as righteous.  Just like in the story of the Prodigal Son, we are part of God’s family, clothed with his robe of righteousness.  This should not fill us with pride but humble us.  How we see ourselves makes a huge difference in our relationship with God.  When we see ourselves the way God see us, it allows his Spirit which dwells inside of us to be greater just as John says (1 John 4:4).  It will change your whole perspective on life, strengthen your relationship with God, reflect in your actions and make you closer to our Messiah which is our goal.

Physics and Definition of Sin, Repentance and Forgiveness – Part 6: Physics of Sin, Repentance and Forgiveness: Physics of Repentance and Forgiveness

Sin is a broad subject with a lot to talk about.  I don’t want to talk about sin without talking about repentance.  I don’t want to talk about repentance without talking about forgiveness.  The few things I want to cover are:

If you do not understand something I’m saying, please ask.  The concept may be hard to grasp at first but it will change how you see yourself and your life when you do.

Physics of Sin, Repentance and Forgiveness

Physics of Forgiveness

We are often told that the Law of Moses is divided into moral, civil and ceremonial commandments.  There is no such division.  It has only been within the last 100 years that science has begun to be able to explain the physics of things God has known all along.  To start, let’s look at a verse most of us are probably familiar with.

Gen 4:10
10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.”

God sounds like he is being poetic.  Remember the first dimension, that the word of God is literal?  This is no exception.  All of us use a computer.  Computers store information on a hard drive.  A hard drive is a metal disk where a frequencial code is written.  We are able to retrieve this code and translate it into something we can relate to with our senses.

Scientists have found that sound frequency is recorded on an atomic level.  The more dense the material, the better able it is to record sound.  Our blood is full of metals; it is the second densest tissue in our body after our bones.  They have been working on extracting and decoding these frequencies and last I heard, have been able to take someone’s blood and play back the sound from last ten minutes of that person’s life.

Now God, being the creator of all these things, all ready knows the code and knows how to play it back.  Do you realize the possibilities of unlocking this code?  This means that we could go to Mount Sinai, take a rock, and play back the spoken words of God when he declared the Ten Commandments.

Kippur – כפר

The Hebrew word kippur (כפר) pictographically means to ‘put a hand on the head and confess’.  It is commonly translated as atonement, pardon, purge, cleansed, forgiven and cover.  It is where we get the English word ‘cap’ from and why we wear it on our head or put it on the top of a container.  Whenever the sin and trespass offering was performed, part of the procedure was to place a hand on the head of the animal and confess the sin.

1 Tim 5:22
22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.

Our hands are transmitters and our head, where 20% of our blood is at any given moment, is a receiver.  When we place our hands on somebody and speak, a frequency is generated and transmitted.  When a priest or the person who sinned put his hand on the head of an animal and confessed his sin, that sin, or corruption, is literally transferred to that animal.  That animal is then killed and his blood, which receives the corruption, is emptied upon the earth.  The rest of the animal is consumed with fire (Lev 4:1-12).

The last state of entropy is heat.  When the animal is consumed, it is transformed into heat energy and dissipates into the atmosphere.  This is an aspect of nasa forgiveness in the form of ‘lifting up of smoke’.  Our sin is literally removed from us and consumed.  Though this word is not used when talking about the sin and trespass offering, it is implied by the action.  God takes no delight in the slaughtering of innocent animals; he desires mercy over sacrifices and obedience over repentance (Hos 6:6).  Yet he knows the physics of the universe and how what he created works.    This is why the earth will one day be consumed in fire.  All the corruption will one day be consumed and removed leaving behind a world free from corruption; Eden before sin.

The God we serve, the Creator of heaven, earth and all that is therein does not require, ask or even want people to engage in vain, meaningless, empty, mindless rituals.  Everything he asks us to do and not to do, every form of worship and praise, every act of love has a practical purpose, which leads me into my next point.
