Debunking Myths of the Bible — Part 3: The Myth of Sacrifice — What Jesus Really Meant

Myth: “Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was a punishment to pay for humanity’s sins—without it, we cannot be saved.” Truth: The “sacrifice” is a powerful symbol of surrendering old beliefs and fixing a new reality through imagination.

Most teachings suggest we’re now far from it—emotionally, spiritually, and geographically. But according to Neville Goddard , Eden isn't a place. It's a state of consciousness . A symbolic name for the inner experience of joy, harmony, and creative unity. Eden means delight. It is the natural state of being before judgment, shame, or separation —before the belief that you're powerless or unworthy. 🍎 The Fall Wasn’t a Crime—It Was a Shift in Awareness “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat...” — Genesis 2:1...
