[Jesus suffered for our sins on the cross and saved us. Hence it is the responsibility of every human being to follow Jesus only and not any other God.]
Please remember that if you say 100 times that Jesus is God, I am saying a million times that Jesus is God. Therefore I request you to have patience to go through My analysis, which does not deviate, anywhere from the above statement. God or the Holy Spirit pervaded all over the body of Jesus like electricity charges the wire all over. All the other human beings are simple wires without electricity. My straight question to you is ‘Do you call the wire as Jesus or do you call the electricity as Jesus?’ The human body was born and died. But the God who has no birth and death is eternal. As long as electricity passes through the wire, the wire and electricity are one and the same. Both are inseparable. Therefore Jesus means both. But when the electricity leaves the wire, we recognise that the wire and electricity are different. On the cross Jesus cried “O God! Why did you leave me?”
If you call the human body as Jesus, then Jesus is the son of God. If you call God as Jesus, then Jesus is God. Since the Father and the Son are inseparable, both can be indicated by the word Jesus. If you say that Jesus exists now, it means you are referring only to God. If you say that Jesus was killed on the cross, then Jesus means the human body. The Father and the Son are separate, but were inseparable as long as Jesus was alive.
Please analyse the following questions:
1. Did Jesus suffer for the sins of all the human beings in the past, present and future? If so, you are born after crucifixion of Jesus and you committed sins after the crucifixion. How did He undergo the punishment even before you committed the sin? Punishment is given only after doing the sin. Moreover, if all the sins of all the people in all the times are cancelled by the crucifixion, which is beyond the concept of time, hell should not have existed sofar, should not exist now and should not exist in the future. In such a case there should be no worry for any human being whether he followed Jesus or not?
2. If you say that He suffered for the sins of the people who existed up to the time of His crucifixion, did He undergo punishment of the sins of the people who existed even before His birth? If you say yes, how did Jesus exist before His birth? Do you say that the sins of the people who lived before Him, were kept in pending till Jesus was crucified?
3. If you say that Jesus suffered for the sins of all the people who lived in His life time, then the people who existed before His birth and people after His death were not given that golden chance. This makes Jesus partial to only one generation. Therefore to solve all these questions, the only path left is to call God as Jesus. God (Jesus) existed before and after that human body in all the generations. God (Jesus) is coming in several human incarnations. Every generation is blessed with the human incarnation to avoid being partial to a certain generation.
4. It is highly illogical to say that God (Jesus) suffered the sins of all the people who existed during His lifetime. Even an ordinary human being will never do this. God (Jesus) discriminates very well. Since God (Jesus) is coming in human form in every generation, He suffers the sins of His deserving devotees in every generation. This makes God (Jesus) impartial with high power of discrimination.
On the very first page of the Holy Bible (Matthew 1:21) “He will save His people from their sins”. The word ‘His people’ means, the deserving devotees and not all the people. The human incarnation is called as Immanuel, means ‘God with us’ (Matthew 1:23). The word Datta also means the human incarnation of God that comes to earth to live with human beings. The human incarnations suffer the sins of deserving devotees and relieve them. God will never completely abolish the sin of any person. He will not cancel His own judgement. He will pay the fine on behalf of the His devotee. This is the mechanism of excusing the sins. Shirdi Sai Baba, one of the human incarnations of Datta, suffered the sins of His devotees by transferring their diseases to His body. This is a common feature of any human incarnation. If you become a deserving devotee, you will be also saved from your sins by the present human incarnation of God (Jesus). You must assimilate the knowledge of the Holy Spirit. The knowledge is called as that fire. Real baptism is not sprinkling water but assimilating the knowledge of the Holy Spirit given by the human incarnation. This is also clearly stated in Bible (Matthew 3:11).
