Predominantly western mainstream atonement theology makes absolutely no logical or moral sense if we critically think about it. Surely an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, all-benevolent god would not have to resort to blood sacrifice in order to accept us.

Reasonably, an incomparably virtuous tribute shouldn’t be required to mediate between the god and humanity via its brutal execution. Of course penal substitution theorists tragically cling to this idea, as dogmatic programming conditions them to depend on some savior.

They conclude that a chosen one had to be humiliated and tortured and killed in order to repair a breach that no one recalls creating. Yet they don’t take into account how monstrous it is for their god to institute such barbarous standards and practices in the first place.

Furthermore, destroying one premier soul seems inconsequential, for the onus is on us to submit mind, body, and spirit to this god. This is all merely conjecture, for no one has or can prove that this god or its sadistic form of justice factors into reality as we know it.

I am finding that the Gospel of Truth paints a radically different picture of Jesus’s mission and ministry. He came to remedy our forgetfulness of our divinity. He taught that deity was a loving Parent and that we each were souls that were also divine, but we forgot that upon incarnation. The reason is that we are God experiencing his knowledge, the difference between Gnosis and Epignosis.
