Crimson Red

Isaiah 1:8

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”

What is “sin” anyway? why do a person need to be forgiven?

this is what i think, “sin” is the transgression of the ultimate purpose of why humankind was created….

yes, i am oppose to those who believe in evolution to it’s extremes

come on, if human kind is the same species as animals and evolved from one of them… how does it explain the evolution of our morality, the guilty feelings we feel when we do something that “feels” wrong?

why do we feel guilty? is it really because of some cultural thing? or psychological thing?

and… if we had never felt guilt about anything, why do we need forgiveness? is the need of forgiveness is as as absurd as the idea of a god? just like nietzsche said?
is it really only a sign of insecurity? of a weakness? and is it why people “created” religion? that human kind “created” some transcendent idea of a “super being” that can cure their guilt, insecurity, and vulnerability?

honestly i don’t think so….

see, a person in human history said about the necessity of forgiveness, that mankind had fallen from grace, and therefore their inclination are towards sins, and thus why humankind had it in their heart that they need to be forgiven.

oh yeah, he risked to be called the biggest liar in the universe to say that.
and you know who he is? He is Jesus, the sovereign Lord, the creator who once incarnated into the world of His creation to tell this to them.

He risked to be called a liar, but He continued to do so, even if that brought Him to His “death”, His “punishment… even if He had never proven guilty of any crime, or sins, or transgressions…

John said as it written in the bible that the denial of our state as a sinner will consequently put him as a big liar
(1 John 1: 10)
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives

but he understood this, because His story do looks like something bizarre to believe, and He will forgive, even that!

When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
