What is sin?
The word ‘sin’ with us as the sinner, appears to be a main theme, infusing guilt in us since birth.
If sin is called delusion or misalignment with love, voice of conscience, a temporary error, corrected on knowing the truth, it would make sense. However, I see this deep sense of unworthiness etched on the souls of those who follow religion blindly, believing that they are sinners. Faith is great. But has boon become bane? What is this sin we seem to have committed? |

Sin
Going strictly by the scriptures We are told we have sinned long ago Thus, fallen status is this feeble caricature Maya indeed veils the truth but our heart is aglow Head and heart aligned, we are free from strife Once attachments recede, life flow is mellow Sermons of preachers cut us like a knife Designed to burden us with superstitious guilt For our sin, Jesus gave up his life, Buddha his wife It seems impossible that this is the house God has built Anchoring our attention in spasms of contraction Delusion that we have sinned making us wilt Our innate nature is joyous bliss elation The only sin we see is with love misalignment Owing to indulgence in illusion causing stagnation Let us unshackle consciousness from feral sediment Reclaiming by free will our childlike innocence Flowing then through life in contentment God is truth! God is love! He asks for no penance We are free! We are as He! Being of self-luminescence |

The only true sin is hurting another person unnecessarily and without reason .... in my opinion all other sins are invented nonsense

@ Morpheus ... I don’t know in actuality, what the square root of -1 is, with the abstract ‘i’ not helping.
Let’s take it slow ... God alone is, nothing else is. God is love in Absoluteness, unconditional, all encompassing. We are as He, born of His essence (let’s say, spirit) What did we as spirit do, to be termed as sin? In fact, how could we, being as He? Assuming we as spirit went off-track, as in misalignment, show the man a roadmap. He gets back on track. That’s about it. What’s with this sin and guilt thrust as a consciousness contracting belief, upon the earth entity, already struggling to shift from separateness to oneness via interconnectedness? |
Sin originated in the Old Testament. If you look at the first usage of the word 'sin', it did not involve God (Elohim),
it involved the LORD (Yahweh). This issue may deal more with Yahweh............ You also introduced the word 'Spirit' which seems to have originated in the Old Testament. |
