Christians generally aren’t familiar with OUR part in atonement, because the guidelines are in the OT, and that’s all just a bunch of stories about big fish and haircuts and unusual tidal movements. Nothing about how to behave in there outside of the decalogue, nope. Also, those stories aren’t spiritually prophetic. Nope nope. Just some stories. “After we sing a song glorifying God’s Name that you don’t know and I’m not telling you, I’m going to quote a verse out of context, and you can listen to me telling a moralized parable about my dog for an hour. Be sure to Tithe. That’s absolutely still relevant.”
Good question! We cannot atone for our sins to God. This is correct.
With regard to what I meant there, our sins against each other.
For example:
Exodus 22:1-3 - You shall pay (atone) for any property you stole
Exodus 21:33 - You shall pay (atone) for any harm caused because of a pit you have dug
Exodus 22:6 - You shall pay (atone) for any property you destroyed with fire
Exodus 22:7 - You shall pay double for anything stolen while under your care
Exodus 22:8 -You shall have to appear before a judge to determine your innocence (involved in derivation of “right to a trial by jury”, by the way)
Exodus 22:9 - You shall pay for anything stolen while under your hire
In the city, we would typically consider it absurd to think of “destroyed property by fire”, but in the country, someone ignores a burn ban and burns up his neighbors cattle and tractor - reconcile by paying that amount, and in some cases as much as double.
We tend to think of these more as things enforced by civil authorities, but God commands them as well. The law often shouldn’t even need to get involved with a Christian.
With regard to your question, while we cannot atone to God, we aught also “presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice” “circumcise” our hearts and “burn up the old paths of our flesh” and offer up works toward the Kingdom. Those works do not atone for our sins, but also “faith without works is dead”, and so we work them as praise and thanksgiving for our salvation. There’s still sacrifices, but yes, that atonement is not capable of being done by us.
In the situation above, the referenced atonement was toward men, however.
More companies need to do this as well. I know a particular financial company (named after a famous president) that relies heavily on India and South Africa for call center and claim processing support.
They're doing this because AI is now able to do much of the work. It's not some huge patriotic signal. It's just that AI is now cheaper than paying foreigners.
I did construction management for years and looked for American made products. I build in America and if I send that money out of country, people here won't have money to continue using our services. Many people look for the cheapest product because they could maximize their bonus. Very short sighted
I'm getting way cynical about the whole Big Tech thing. The genuine uses -- independent media (like this site) and promoting made-in-America products -- are so minor compared to the giant bullshit machine that is going on including, of course, "AI."
He is an Indian as well, does he plan to bring these Indian scammers to USA? He agreed with this since the beginning probably he found out the hard way, nobody wants to buy shit from him, I don’t even know what is open door. The only thing I am buying is food. God bless everyone
Redeemed. 😆🤣👍🇺🇸
Now get rid of any H1B1 liars.
That's a smart CEO.
He thinks we are suckers that we will fall into his lies. Don’t buy anything from them. Traitor
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
I agreed and I forgive them but don’t forget.
People really don’t like hearing that during the Justice Phase 😄
Also though, part of repentance is, or will be, atonement, so anyone finding themselves in need of forgiveness better be ready to atone.
Atonement takes some doing, too.

what's our part? Jesus atoned once for all sin

yeah that makes sense, phew, had me worried about a false Gospel fren
DDDDDDDDDDDitto
Don’t get me wrong- I’m glad to hear it. But IMO, he is not motivated by patriotism…. This is just his spin to look patriotic
Better he does the right thing for the wrong reasons than doing the wrong thing.
Exactly plus he is having a lot of trouble people are not buying their crap so he needs to say something to motivate us.
Now get rid of any H1B1 liars.
Hallelujah !
There are WAY too many of these Flip Flops in the country. It’s like every 3rd truck driver is one of them. Many industries need a big clean up.
More companies need to do this as well. I know a particular financial company (named after a famous president) that relies heavily on India and South Africa for call center and claim processing support.
Lincoln Financial?
That was my guess too.
Yes.
Kind anon, can you enlighten as to the association of Open Door to Lincoln
I know Bill Gates hired them too.
And Dell.
Ah man, no more "Steve" from tech support

Now get rid of press #2 for Spanish.
