(3) Salvation by Christ
① View of Christian doctrine
In the Old Testament, the history of the Judea race is written as follows.
After the fall of Adam and Eve, their offspring increased to be the Judea race.
And the Judea race returned to the garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were driven out by God.
The Judea race is chosen people of God who build the kingdom of God (the ground heaven).
And Jesus Christ was sent to the Judea race from God as a savior to relieve them.
However, many Jewish people did not recognize Jesus as a savior, and they killed him on the cross.
In Judaism, Jesus has been recognized not as a savior, but as one of the rabbis (Jewish teacher).
On the other hand, the teaching of Jesus Christ was compiled as the New Testament, and it has become the scripture of Christianity.
In Christianity, it is said that Jesus Christ was sent as a savior from God to relieve the humans who have original sin.
Jesus Christ died on the cross to bear all the sin of the humans.
And then, Jesus Christ revived on the third day.
By believing Jesus Christ, the humans atone for their original sin and are forgiven by God.
This is Christian soteriology.
Nobody can enter heaven without the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
After death, the humans go to the spiritual world where there are places of heaven and hell.
And besides, there are Purgatory and Limbo between heaven and hell.
Depending on the good or bad of the human life, they go to each of heaven, hell, purgatory and limbo.
It is necessary to be baptized for receiving the salvation by Christ.
By receiving the baptism, you can enter heaven in the spirit world after death.
② View of the CWG series
In the CWG series, there is no idea of "Salvation" and "Atonement".
Because there is neither the fall of Adam and Eve nor original sin of the humans.
The Old Testament is a historic story of Judea race.
The first version humans were born in more than one place on the earth as written below.
┌－－－－－－－－－－
In your religious mythology, you symbolize your cellular memory of these firstversion humans by calling them Adam and Eve. Actually, of course, there were more than two. (pdfCWG1-P132)
└－－－－－－－－－－
And, there is no special race called the chosen people.
All the humans and races are special for God.
Because all the humans equally try to know the divinity through the various experiences in the physical world, and at the same time God knows itself experientially.
In the human life, the humans often lose their way.
At that time, God always leads them.
Moreover, God has been speaking through masters, authors, poets, and playwrights from the beginning of time.
God has placed its truth in the lyrics of songs, and on the faces of paintings, in the shapes of sculptures, and in every beat of the human heart for ages past.
God created the universe to know Himself or His own divinity experientially.
All the humans live to know the divinity through the various experiences in the physical world for God's desire.
So God does not leave the humans who are desperately living in the life alone.
Ultimately, God and humans are all one and are intending to experience the divinity together.
Masters are the persons who reach the level of the spiritual enlightenment.
Jesus Christ is one of the masters.
Besides, there have been none higher than Jesus Christ. Christ is the highest master.
Even now, Jesus Christ spiritually leads those who believe in him.
