Original sin: Difference between revisions

In order to support their official decrees raising Jesus to his unique stature as God, the hierarchy of the early Christian church developed several corollary doctrines. One of these is the doctrine of '''original sin'''. This doctrine as it is now taught in the Roman Catholic Church states that as a result of the fall of Adam, every member of the human race is born with a hereditary moral defect and is subject to death. Because of this inherited stain of sin, no man is capable of achieving either his decency or destiny without a saving act of God. This is accomplished, according to the Roman church, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  

What the Roman church did with their doctrine of original sin is to doom the entire human race to failure except through the saving grace of [[Jesus Christ]], which is a law that is not a law of God and cannot be fulfilled as they have so declared it.

Thus all of Adam’s descendants are both corrupt and condemned because they were present inside of him (as semen) when he sinned. Augustine described the sin as something that is “contracted”<ref>Augustine, ''Against Julian'', 3.3, trans. Matthew A. Schumacher, ''The Fathers of the Church'', vol. 35 (Washington, D.C.: Catholic University of America Press, 1957), p. 113.</ref> and passed through the human race like a venereal disease. Jesus was exempt from original sin since, according to the orthodox, he was conceived without semen.   

In the fifth century original sin became the center of a controversy that was eventually settled in 529 <small>A</small>.<small>D</small>. by the Synod of Orange. The synod decreed that Adam’s sin corrupted the body and soul of the whole human race; sin and death are a result of Adam’s disobedience. The synod also declared that because of sin, man’s free will is so weakened that “no one is able to love God as he ought, or believe in God, or do anything for God which is good, except the grace of divine mercy comes first to him.” They stated that by the grace that comes through the sacrament of baptism, all men, if they work at it, can be saved. Thus, grace and not human merit was primary to salvation.  

Today’s ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' says under its entry on “Original Sin” that “the term ''original sin'' designates a condition of guilt, weakness, or debility found in human beings historically, prior to their own free option for good or evil. This is a state of being rather than a human act or its consequence.”<ref>''New Catholic Encyclopedia'', s.v. “Original Sin,” p. 777.</ref>

== A larger perspective on the fall of man ==

Man and woman, androgynous in the white fire core of their innocence, knew wholeness in the Edenic consciousness. Through the misuse of the Christ Flame they lost their wholeness, and they stood naked before the Lord God. Thus the original sin of the [[Luciferian]]s, which caused first the fall of mankind and then the Fall of Adam and Eve, was the misuse of the [[threefold flame]]—the perversion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   

The necessity for wholeness, the longing of the soul for the androgynous consciousness of Eden, produces desire in Matter. The desire for God and for reunion with God as Father or as Mother is holy desire. The manifestation of this desire becomes, then, a necessary component of procreation outside of the Garden of Eden.   

The seven sacraments of the Church and the eighth sacrament of the law of integration are a means whereby man and woman may atone for the misuses of the seven rays. In redeemed man and woman, sexual intercourse becomes the sacred ritual of the sacrament of marriage. This ritual can be purified of the taint of the original sin of disobedience, as well as the secondary sin of lustful desecration of this ritual, through the restoration of the Christ consciousness in man and woman.   

As that light of the Mother rises, it restores the light of the Trinity to each successive chakra, regenerates the balanced threefold flame within the heart, resurrects the Alpha and Omega wholeness as the white fire core of the seven planes of God’s consciousness, and locks that sphere in the third eye, completing the caduceus.   

The Luciferians propounded the lie that sex is the original sin in order to keep the light of mankind veiled in the sin consciousness, to keep their attention (hence the serpentine force) constantly revolving around sex as the forbidden fruit. The Luciferians did not want mankind to know that it was their rejection of the Christ that caused them to fall. For if mankind knew this, they could and would accept the redemption of Jesus the Christ, of the Christ Self and of the Initiator Lord Maitreya. Thus they would return to the glory that they knew in the beginning before the world was.   

The fallen angels have kept from the children of God the true understanding that God has endowed each of them with the Divine Image; instead they have taught them that they are forever stained by “original sin” and can never become Christlike or realize their own Christ potential. The fallen angels have thus promulgated the false doctrine that because the children of God are sinners, they can only be saved by grace, dispensed by the Church, thereby denying the necessity for each one to “work the works of him that sent me,” as Jesus declared of his own mission.
