It is a half-truth because Jesus did pay the price for the sins of humanity. The other side of the equation is that humanity must rise to the level of their own [[Special:MyLanguage/Christhood|Christhood]] and pay that debt and take back upon themselves what Jesus has carried for them. This mistaken teaching denies the true doctrine which states that good works—when done to the glory of God—are the means to balance [[Special:MyLanguage/karma|karma]], to pay one’s debts to life to set the record straight. | It is a half-truth because Jesus did pay the price for the sins of humanity.

Unfortunately, instead of doing this, people place the whole of their responsibility for all of their involvements on Jesus and think that thereby they have no responsibility. This is the scapegoat consciousness, the inherent desire of the [[Special:MyLanguage/carnal mind|carnal mind]] to place the responsibility for its failures, its inequities upon the Christ and upon the sons and daughters of God who have the Christ consciousness. | Unfortunately, instead of doing this, people place the whole of their responsibility for all of their involvements on Jesus and think that thereby they have no responsibility.

Jesus perceived the pitiful plight of the people of earth and agreed to take embodiment at that crucial hour of earth’s history to mitigate the full impact of the karma that was scheduled to descend. This doesn’t mean that Jesus “wiped away” our sins (karma). It simply means that Jesus bought us time. He bore our karma for a time to give us the opportunity to gain self-mastery so that we could better deal with that karma when it descended. | Jesus perceived the pitiful plight of the people of earth and agreed to take embodiment at that crucial hour of earth’s history to mitigate the full impact of the karma that was scheduled to descend.
