Let's explore Consciousness & Spirituality

We Cannot Be Perfect, But, We Can Be Righteous.

One of the greatest mistakes we make in our spiritual journey is following the path of the ancient Pharisees. The Pharisees governed society by ridged laws that they themselves could not follow. Jesus referred to them directly as hypocrites because of their failure and the lack of grace in their judgements. Society today can influence us to judge and condemn one another using the same legalistic thinking. Instead of fostering a community based on wisdom and love, we foster a community based on fear, shame, and anxiety.  It is the toxic nature of the world that perverts our need for connection, exchanging genuine connection for shallow engagements of moral posturing and judgment. In order to promote ourselves and validate how we feel, we accept false truths that promote our feelings, but destroy our communities.

Why The Concept of Sin in the Bible is Misunderstood.

 

Sin is often understood as the equivalent of evil doing or doing bad things. This is a misconception that redirects a spiritual journey into a logical fallacy: in order to be saved by God and become perfect, you must first become perfect on earth. But if it were possible to become perfect, why would we need to be saved? And, if no one can be perfect, then no one can be saved. But, the truth is God does not require us to be perfect in order to be saved.
