29. The ORIGIN and its MEANING of the word ATONEMENT

Описание: This is an excerpt from the discussion and study of the lesson study guide. There is so much of value in this lesson, please listen to the whole study if you can make time.

How do you understand God’s law? God is Creator, His laws are the protocols reality function upon,
including the laws of love and liberty. Violate God’s laws and only pain, suffering and death occur.
But Satan has deceived the world into thinking God functions like we do and the evil one paints God
as the source of inflicted suffering and death. Thus, the atonement is perverted to teach Jesus paying legal penalties, rather than Jesus healing and restoring and uniting humanity back with God!

Atonement—its original meaning meant to unite, to take two people at odds and bring them back to atone-ment. It was pronounced atone, rather than at-one because of the old English pronunciation, like when we are all by ourselves we are alone, not all-one.

But, this word changed meanings over the centuries, and has come to connote legal appeasement that was never in its original use. Just like the word gay has come to mean something in never originally meant. Unfortunately, many people have read in the false meaning, why? Because it fits with their false law concept, the idea that God’s law works like our law does.
