Salvation Without Perspiration

My friend,

With all respect due you, the mark is missed only by those who subscribe to the fallacious and erroneous dogma of "Vicarious Atonement", which maintains that the Christ “died for our sins”. This is the Church’s E-Z Path to Salvation, which teaches that because the Christ did all the work, mankind doesn’t have to do anything.

The E-Z Path to Salvation is quite popular with today’s Christians because it relieves them from having to do any work whatsoever. What for? You’re already saved! You’re Heaven-bound! You’re already seated at the right hand of the Father. Your sins were “washed away" 2,000 years ago. All you have to do is go to church once a week, wag your finger at those who don’t, and set yourself up as The Only Sinless Man In The World.

Those who ascribe to such thinking reveal a complete lack of spiritual maturity. If the sins of mankind were “washed away” 2,000 years ago then what is to be done about the sins that mankind is committing in the present-day? Do they not count as sins? Are we given a free pass due to the "sacrifice of the Lamb" 2,000 years ago? If so, maybe that is why we have perpetual war, rapes, murders, child molestations, priestly misconduct, rampant counter-natural sexual behavior, gluttony, selfishness, etc., etc., etc.? Apparently, today's evil acts have all been forgiven-in-advance (Oops, sorry about that knife in your back, buddy, but I have this Free Pass...). Does the Christ have to come back and repeat His sacrifice of 2,000 years ago?

If you are already “sitting at the right-hand of God” then what are you doing here in physical manifestation? Those who are seated at the right hand of the Father “will go no more out”. What are you doing here in this hell?

"The Shedding of the Blood". "The Forgiveness of Sins". "Grace". “Consummatum Est!”. It is apparent that you have absolutely no idea of the true meaning behind any of these concepts. You repeat only what you have been indoctrinated to repeat by your controllers. You adhere tightly to the Church’s interpretation of such concepts and thus accept stones for bread.

You have been lied to, my friend. The nature-born, aeonic Church, which has been the enemy of the Christ since its inception, has blinded you and billions of other well-meaning, earnestly seeking souls with falsehoods, distortions and platitudes; all with the express aim of putting you to sleep spiritually and thereby discouraging you from Seeking and finding the actual Truth. You have been taught that you are already "there", that you have no further steps to take, and that the Church must be the intercessor between you and God.

You are welcome to continue to rest on your unearned laurels, but contrary to what you stated, there is PLENTY of work to be done, by those who recognize that the Christ only paved the way. It is we ourselves who must now locate and travel the Path of Return, the Path that was carefully laid out for us to follow by the Living Example that He set for us, and by the deeper teachings of the gnosis that He gave to His core disciples (“milk for the babes, meat for the strong”).

As for the choice of who this writer will “serve”, that choice has already been made. You do not recognize my choice because you are blinded by the deceptive theology of Churchianity, which is in complete antithesis with the Gnosis, and has been for over 2,000 years.

You characterize salvation as a Free Gift. Free Gift? There may be a Gift awaiting us, but it is certainly not “free”, my friend. Salvation must be earned. Each of us put ourselves into the position that we find ourselves in today. Each of us must find our way out of it. The Christ made things easier for future mankind by taking away a third of the power of the aeons, but the real work He left up to future mankind. This brings to mind an old axiom: “God will work with you. He will not work for you”.

That said, you are where you are and you are comfortable with your spiritual location. You have lost the desire to Seek, and have allowed the Truth to flee from you. Perhaps in some future life, after returning from the sham-heaven of the reflection-sphere yet again, you will finally be successful in finding the Key That Unlocks All Doors.

May you be blessed to someday find the Path that leads to The Good End.
