Sin?

And don't forget Dianic Wicca.
In general, I am not in tune with wicca, I find it all a bit twee and "fluffy". "Old School" British Witchcraft is also relaxed on the subject of sin and homosexuality.

I feel like the word "sin" is such a harsh word. I prefer the word "error". Because life is like an exam and each lifetime we make errors and triumphs. And from those errors and triumphs we receive our karma. Either it be bad or good. We are all progressing to learn the divinity within.

That is why when the New Testament says- "The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" is such an esoteric/psychic statement that it has been twisted into garbage.

(This may sound a bit too Hindu for this board)- This means the divine Consciousness (the God-center) within the soul takes away the bad karma from those bad errors away when the soul is united with this Consciousness.

As in Jesus' case (an advanced psychic) was able to take away his apostles' and people's bad karma away in that generation because their errors of condemning an innocent man to such a brutal death would have had some horrifying aftermaths. - Take the example of the Buddhists in China. About a year or two ago the Chinese were persecuting Buddhist monks and literally after that an Earthquake hit a region close by killing thousands of lives due to these evil actions. In Jesus' case he didn't want their errors to come back to them so He took them on through his own crucifixion.

If Fundamental Christianity understood this true meaning I think they would evolve to a much more loving and accepting religion without all that hell-fire damnation.

I think there is a "hell" but this is a state of mind that we create for ourselves within self. Same thing with heaven. We grow to heaven and create it in this life and the next.

The whole Devil thing is easy to explain even if you are Wiccan. If you believe everyone has their own "God/Goddess center" either they call it Zeus/Hera, Yahweh/Mary, or whatever and there is an Unknown Universal Deity with us all. Then that means the Devil is the god for evil people in those souls or spirits who are saturated with malevolent ideas.

And besides if we all go through male and female incarnations and sometimes carry over such impulses (say I was a female before and now I am a male) there is a likely chance I will be a lesbian or have those tendencies.

I hope this cleared some stuff up.

No sin.
No hell.
Be good and you'll be ok.
God is a homosexual.
