Today seems like as good a day as any to discuss theology. The discussion will include questions from various sources along with my answers. As the questions center on Christianity, that’s where the emphasis has been placed.
Question 1: "If Jesus/ Yeshua took all the sins of the world on to himself does that mean that his death acts as an act of teleology itself or a form of telic revision or correction?"
Answer 1: Jesus knew that for intransigently opposing evil on Earth, he could very well be subjected to execration, torture, and death. But he did it anyway in order to establish an unimpeachable moral standard and show mankind how to earn salvation by conforming to it. He died to exemplify honesty, courage, compassion, integrity, and moral fortitude in the face of evil, a danger of human existence which must be constantly opposed. This has major teleological import.
Jesus lives on as the ideal of human perfection. As such, he is not a “sin-eater” who offered to be killed for the misdeeds of others; this would be a decoupling of merit and reward, punishing merit instead of rewarding it. Punishing merit and rewarding moral imperfection is immoral on its face, a gross injustice and a perversion of the real meaning of divine sacrifice.
The significance of being “washed in the blood of the Lamb” is that to obtain God’s forgivenesss is to step with utmost sincerity into Jesus’ model of spiritual perfection, emulating and merging with his divine identity so as to be judged therein and saved accordingly.
