I'm going to paste some text from "A Course in Miracles" , ACIM (Sparkly edition)
from (Chapter 3, Retraining the Mind)
Quote:
The crucifixion did NOT establish the Atonement.The Resurrection did.
This is a point which many very sincere Christians have misunderstood.
No-one who is free of the scarcity-error could POSSIBLY make this mistake.
If the crucifixion is seen from an upside-down point of view,it DOES appear as if God
permitted,and even encouraged,one of his Sons to suffer BECAUSE he was good.

and
Quote:
Yet the real Christian would have to pause and ask,“How could this be?” Is it likely that
God Himself would be capable of the kind of thinking which His
own words have clearly stated is unworthy of man?

and going to end this post with:
Quote:
The Resurrection demonstrated that NOTHING can destroy truth.
Good can withstand ANY form of evil because light abolishes ALL forms of darkness
|
this resonates with me.
ACIM has very nice explanations of many things. And if you are interested in ACIM, soon you will understand what the Bible has meant, with most of the things.
And that now-a-days the Bible needs a bit of more research is clearly demonstrated when you see this fact:
- The castles and kings are, almost all, gone now.
So you have to research the meaning, for them, to be able to understand what it means for humans, to be able to understand what it means for the Spirit.
