God and sin

The rights and freedom

The instinct to sin, and sin responsibility.

All the drama unfolds around the central image of the forbidden fruit : the knowledge of good and evil. " Knowledge is meant, in all likelihood, not only to the meaning of " experiential knowledge ", but in the legal sense given by our language this term. Claim that "knowledge " is to usurp the jurisdiction and authority of supreme judge of what is good and what is evil . Mr. Gerard Bible Dictionary

The origin of the concept of "sin" is difficult to define. Signs already appear in the legends of Babylon, on the banks of the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile. But if the home escapes us, the real nurses are known to us . These are the three great monotheistic. These religions, have fed, raised and strengthened this basic concept for humanity.

Higher concept

Sin is willful misconduct, an offense against God and man. In Genesis, it stems from an original transgression committed by the parents of the human race (Adam and Eve) . Here is what Mr. Gerard also said in his A Dictionary of the Bible.

The first creation story, drawn from said priestly first mentions that God created man (Adam = mankind ) male and female, he blessed them all, Giving them jointly order to populate the earth and rule over it like all other creatures that live . No significant distinction is made between men and women in the creative act nor his commandments which enshrines human dignity, gender equality is evident in relation to God [ ... ] .

Tempted by the woman who obeys itself at the suggestion of the spirit embodied by the evil serpent, the first man as she abuse his freedom by breaking the divine law : it tastes the forbidden fruit while two of which he hoped make them "like gods." This is the " original sins " that leads to shame and loss of privileges granted to the innocent humanity fallen humanity will experience pain, grief in the effort and death.

This explanation of our history, inspired several things:

• The man would be free and accountable before God.
• Sin is a rear element to an originally pure and perfect human species.
• And finally sin - that is evil - is somehow superfluous. A negative element that humanity could very well happen to its development.

In my view, these three proposals are at odds with the reality of our revolution.

Evil and freedom

The man is not free to do wrong . It executes the orders of his tendencies.
Freedom of the perpetrator is an illusion. A necessary illusion to which it is necessary to believe, but an illusion nonetheless. In his ordinary state * man is never free .

* In other words in his life

He obeys orders, impulses, packaging or past.

The ecstatic freedom

One door leads man to true freedom. It is the gate of ecstasy, bliss, nirvana . Only this transcendental state can free us from all contingencies . In this position, the man is perfectly free because qu'affranchi of death and time.

His mind is immersed in an absolute immediate . In this mental position, the mind is a sum of absolute love . So this is actually a supreme obedience ( though unconscious ) the creative principle . Total obedience to God and naive . Only a complete identification with the "divine (but a divine absolute love) " allows to match the divine freedom.

"If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free . Jn 8, 31-32 . "

The merger with God requires total annihilation of impulses, passions and desires. In other words, the extinction of all fuels transgression. Therefore, true freedom can not "choose" the alternative of "evil."

Obey his instincts, his passions, his desires, we close access to ecstasy. That is the ultimate freedom. Ecstasy is the only way to access the absolute freedom.

But this path is not for man manufacturer. Apart from a few masters of wisdom, we all obey our instincts and desires. The ordinary man, so through his life, in the position of prisoner

Poor or rich, master or slave, we are all prisoners of our instincts or our tendencies. Prisoners of certain postures, certain ranks. Prisoners of wealth or trapped in poverty. Prisoner of power, honor, desires, or prisoners of poverty.

Difficult access to ecstasy

During the construction of humanity, the builder man does not have access to absolute freedom (the corresponding absolute freedom, as we have said, to ecstasy).

To build his world, the human being needs his impulses, desires De De trends. He takes pride, ambition, selfishness, narcissism, envy etc. . These tendencies are the source of a number of initiatives. The ordinary man is between good and evil, and must be content with the illusion of free will.

The cunning of reason

In estimating our "leaders" of our "bad" actions, we gradually learn to control our instincts. These instincts are inherited from our past "natural primate ." They are at the origin of what we call "evil" . But by definition, our " evil deeds " obeying our instincts, beyond our consciousness.

My anger made ​​me yell at this person . When my conscience manages to control this passion, I immediately regretted . The good that I would I do not and I but the evil I do not want to declare St. Paul ... If my reason had allowed me to dominate this angry impulse, I 'd refrained from expressing it. Wherever consciousness dominates the impulses, the good outweighs the bad. We will develop this concept in detail in a later chapter.

An origin without sin.

Darwin and the Bible

The carelessness of the animal world

God souls fishing line, fishing net Satan . Alexandre Dumas

A sin mercy. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. the Bible

According to the first chapters of Genesis, humanity ancestor a couple sinless . An ideal couple, living in an area untouched by evil ( Eden ) . We can very well fit this biblical metaphor, the Darwinian reality.

No sin in nature

The ancestors of humans were indeed free from sins. Not that they behaved ideal, but because they were natural primates. Animals obeying the rules of life ignoring the concept of sin and evil. The man is not from a paradise devoid of violence and injustice. He comes from a world Devoid of conscience. A world where we do not judge his actions.

The concept of good and evil was simply absent in our original cradle.

Every man under a mysterious solidarity linking the first couple he goes down, and in a state of deprivation and guilt caused him by the fault of the head of the human race says philosopher J. L. Dumas ( philosophical notions).

It should be understood by " the first original sin ", the first that has not imposed the human species. The first of its "natural" acts she condemned .

Superfluous sin.

The "sin", "fault", or secular moral transgression can not be considered unnecessary growths . These are not sterile and inconsistent that we could have spent our actions. Instead, they are necessities for our migration from animals to humans. Sin, fault where transgression, are necessary for our development. Without these technical requirements, our species could never leave the laws of nature.

Life of sin and death

Adam et Eve chassés du paradis terrestre Ce sari Guêpe, dit le Cavalier Darwin

Si quelqu'un a l'intention de faire une bonne action mais n'est pas en mesure de la réaliser, Dieu la lui inscrit comme une bonne action. S'il l'exécute, Dieu lui inscrit pour elle une bonne action multipliée de dix à sept cents fois et davantage encore. S'il a l'intention de commettre une mauvaise action et qu'il ne la fait pas, Dieu la lui inscrit comme une bonne action. Et s'il exécute la mauvaise action, Dieu la lui inscrit comme une seule mauvaise action, ou alors Il l'efface.

Le prophète Mahomet

La Bible comme tous les livres sacrés, est le résultat d'expériences mystiques, profondes et sérieuses, d'un long et puissant travail de réflexion, d'intuition et de commentaires. Des centaines de milliers d'êtres humains, entièrement voués à la recherche spirituelle, ont consacré leur existence à la quête de cette vérité absolue. Cette puissance mystique, suffirait à elle seule pour nous convaincre de prendre au sérieux ces livres sacrés et de réfléchir consciencieusement aux sens caché des métaphores.
