Atonement with Traditional Christians

We never think that Atonement would affect how we parent our children really, but it does! When we think about traditional christian belief Atonement may not mean the same as what I have come to learn it truly is about. So Atonement for all that does not know is that what undoes all errors and thus uproots the real source of fear. Now unless I just was taught wrong at church some how I was always told Atonement is asking for forgiveness from God. So through the darkness we see there is a lack of light, and through sin we see there is a lack of love. When we lack love we hate, when we hate we do not hold Christ in our hearts.

I had a man come to my home after he left church to tell me what I was doing was wrong. That my life style was the devil and that my mother and I spread the word of the devil not of God. Why do I bring this up? Well through this mans fear I saw the light of true Atonement. He stated I would not take my lifestyle into the church because "I know it is wrong what I am doing". I choose to not take myself or my life in church because I know that is the one place I will be judged. (I view the bible as a story of love and light not hate and hell) I have heard a lot about that in church to last a life time. In the eyes of humans no one is ever prefect enough. Why not? We are created by God who stated in the Bible we were created in his image and in his likeness!

My children are raised in a home that allows them to get closer to God through walking more Christ like, not by preaching the gospel. They are taught not to judge and that all are prefect and good and no one is ever wrong but diverse. Now if that is so wrong that we can't go to church then I will have to say I much rather stay home and have real conversations with God then pretend to accept the law of life "The Golden Rule".

Mediation is the only true art of shutting down your mind in quite to hear truly what God has to say to you. If I teach my children mediation is evil and that communicating with God is the Devils work, what good have I done in his name? I had to explain to this man who kept telling me "I was no Christian" That in the eyes of him and the church maybe not but I do try daily to walk Christ like with family including my friends. If I do not allow my friends to see the real me, if I don't allow my family to know the real me, how will my children ever know or see that they also have to express who they truly are?

When our lies become our truth not only do we hurt ourselves, our relationship with God, but we will disconnect from everyone we ever loved and those relationships will die. If we believe that people are deprived of anything, perception becomes distorted. When that happens the whole family of God (that would be every single human alive) will become impaired in that relationship. He sees himself deprived so his perception has become very distorted. The relationship this man wants to have with his children is so important that his own fears will not allow him to hear God to know what really needs to be done. He is keeping himself from the only real relationship he has left just because of the fear of Hell. And to people who think it is not real, it is very real to the people who create it. They live in it every day and is real and not to be judge but just observed.

My girls will know that whatever they want they will get. That God is in abundant God and that they are prefect in every inch of their body and never away from him not even for one second. The way we communicate to God has to improve and if the church stays with the traditional 1600 century way people will start to see that light on their own. After all it was Jesus who taught Heaven is not above hell is not below but all within. He also taught mediation and how to see our inner light through God loves.
