The teachings of the church seem to create duplicity among its parishioners, for it teaches we are sinful, but that once you wipe away the sins, you are no longer full of sin.
The overview of what the church actually preaches and the applications of its teachings are very much at odds, in fact I would say, that it is a church which honors being duplicitous.
Where the dark side is there, but we are taught to 'bless' it away…and to now act like it has disappeared.
If your 'bad' actions can be wiped clean, then you are not really bad…you live in a land that has no darkness…you are forever in this alternate universe of only goodness.
The church doesn't expect you to stop sinning, it Does expect you to keep confessing…It doesn't expect you to stop forgiving, It expects you to forgive forever.
It is a cycle you can't break free of….and it leaves you a sinner that isn't sinful.
You have sinned, but they are nowhere to be found…so your are pure.
You are a wiped clean slate that has been forgiven of sins a thousand times, yet clean. No trail is ever found, no smear is left behind…you are clean…but have sinned, yet the sins are not ever spoken of.
It is like there isn't anything that is permanent, all is fluid and ever changing, there is no sin, while sins are forgiven.
What if the sin is a slap to a child's face? Does the mark disappear? Is it wiped clean, does it not leave a mark on the esteem of the child?
What if the sin is a rape of a child…is she returned to pure once the blessing is uttered?
The wiping of the slate is ONLY for the offender.
The cleanup is to remove the toxic behavior off of the hands of the abuser, it isn't for the wounded child.
The wounded child is never attended, seen or acknowledged, the offenders life is all that matters. And God Forbid it have a smear.
How is it that this religion only cures Offenders?
How is it that this religion neglects the sins upon the sinnee.
How doesn't it see where the sins take place, how in real life a slap cannot be unslapped…a rape can't be undone. Sins are damage yet the damage isn't dealt with only the one who did the damage.
We were taught not to see the one wrecking havoc on our worlds, and to hide the damage. Hide our bleeding wounds, our broken hearts our shattered trust…for if we spoke of it, the Blessings didn't work.
And by God, the blessings must work, for we are all heading to heaven under the ticket of the blessings working.
The duplicity of the church is to see the sinner but not the sins upon the innocent child…it fails to see how wiping clean the offender makes a liar out of us.
We have the imprint of their sin upon our bodies, but we have to now pretend the 'sin' didn't happen. We lead a duplicitious life…we know the truth, but are not to act upon it.
And we now carry their sin, while they get to sing in the sunshine and go forth pure…we are now weighted down by their sins.
Am I the only one who can see how this makes a child go insane?
Not only are we not allowed to show the marks of their sin, we now have to believe they are nice…that they never did misbehave.
These 'clean' adults and their sins, have written upon the slate of who the child is, their imprints have gone nowhere, the sting of the hand left a mark on the soul, the rape tore the trust and love to shreds.
This insane cycle can only be broken when the sins go back to the sinners…where they in reality have never left.
My father raped me, I didn't rape him…it is his sin, not mine.
I am no longer agreeing to his duplicity…where he rapes me and is seen as a nice man.
