Revisiting Luke 23:34

<h1>Revisiting Luke 23:34</h1>Author: <a title="Ernie Fitzpatrick" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/ernie-fitzpatrick/39281.htm">Ernie Fitzpatrick</a> The King James Version of the Bible says in Luke 23:34, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Some 2,000 years later we still need to be forgiven for we know not what, in the hell on earth that we have created, we're doing. There is no hell after we leave this third dimensional shell, and world behind. A hell on earth there is indeed.  The early church fathers saw the world and said it was the result of ORIGINAL SIN.

Not to argue against neither St. Augustine, nor Fox, let me put forth another possibility for your consideration. Simply put Jesus expressed the idea that our problem(s) is that we think, we perceive that we're SEPARATED from God. God is not a PERSON out there and we PERSONS down here. We are ONE, always have been and always will be: one in Spirit, energy, consciousness. Since we are all one, we need to always be FORGIVING, because it is WE, US that we are forgiving as well as those who have wronged us. Our LIMITING beliefs need to be changed; however, that means we must recognize our mistaken PERCEPTIONS about the world.

The King James Version of the Bible says in Luke 23:34, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Some 2,000 years later we still need to be forgiven for we know not what, in the hell on earth that we have created, we're doing. There is no hell after we leave this third dimensional shell, and world behind. A hell on earth there is indeed.
