I know this blog will be controversial but please bare with me to the end. It's difficult to keep it short, because of explaining this insight, but I did what I could.
To continue, the definition of sin is: "an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law." With so many atrocities around the world, what is sin to our Creator? After eons of learning, and understanding, has anything changed? Are these man's laws and not truly his laws? The only law he ever said to me was the Golden Rule. Easy enough? Maybe.
Anyway, due to my questioning nature, a long time ago, while meditating, I asked God about sin and judging us humans. He said, "I understand far more about life than you. Most humans see life on a perspective of a ground level but I see it as one who watches from a rooftop. Because of this, I want you to know that I don't judge you, you judge you. Your feeling of guilt within you will judge you. In answer to your question, it is the negativity each being carries within them. That is the true sin. Can someone who does something in their innocence or culture, doing it without guilt, be guilty? When someone else comes along and implies that guilt should be felt, but they reject their beliefs, should they be made to feel guilt? There comes a point of awareness, when you'll understand this. It's not another's beliefs but yours. Your beliefs may be there to guide and protect you. Humans have the ability to reason and things will need to address that reasoning or you, with your free will, may walk away without guilt. I will check their soul and know their truth and they will judge themselves. Then we will decide the next course of action, if necessary."
We proceeded to discuss the variables in what beings consider right and wrong. Most of it was showing me things through emotions and images but I will give you a few examples.
If an animal kills for food, does it feel guilty? No. Why should it? It wants to survive. It will even kill another's offspring or their own, if necessary, and for many reasons, with no guilt involved. Humans can think it's a sin but they won't.
Humans have guilt due to control. Someone wanting to subject their beliefs, morals, views or opinions to control themselves or another. They may feel guilt for doing it or not. For instance, a person decides killing an animal is a sin but a meat eater does not. They may be judging each other but they are not feeling any guilt about their decisions. Why should God?
Also, what if humans eat another human to survive? People will place their guilt onto them for doing it but what if it was necessary? If any humans, who did this, came to God and God saw what they did and why, God said it would be only their guilt, if any, that would judge them. Many things are investigated in order to fully understand.
In other words, he said sin is within us due to our knowing. A child hits a sibling but does not know it's a sin until told. A dog bites another dog and is trained not to, but it doesn't feel guilt for what it's done before knowing. A man rapes another human because it's their culture and does not consider it a sin until they're educated and accept another's opinion. That doesn't mean he will accept someone's opinion or feel guilt afterwards. Women abort because they feel it's to save themselves or others, whether mentally or physically. They feel justified in their decision. They do not feel guilt no matter how many times they are told they should feel guilt. Once a culture killed any diseased or deformed new born with no guilt, because the crime would have been in letting them live. God and his council may not see it as killing or murder due to a higher understanding.
As a person of reason, all this made sense to me. After all, like Job, who am I to argue with God's truth? In Job 40:2 God says, "Will the person who finds fault with the Almighty correct him? Will the person who argues with God answer him?" When all these scenarios are presented, he would know these reasons. He will know if we are judging ourselves for our actions; for what we feel is a sin. This is affirmed in 1 Samuel 16-7 when God said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Lastly, what if, in his higher knowing, he saw a bigger picture, that we never considered, and he washed away our guilt - our sin - because of it?
