#19 - The Forgotten Gospel: Sin

Zootown Podcast

In this episode of the Zootown Podcast, we will be listening to the Zootown Church teaching series, The Forgotten Gospel. This episode of The Forgotten Gospel we're talking about sin. Sin was looked at as a disease that you could catch, not necessarily some spiritual thing on the inside of our hearts. This is why they believed in cleansing with blood when God’s laws were broken because the law exposed the sin in their life and the felt they were going to die or not be blessed if some sort of cleansing took place. From God’s perspective, he is a father so he is not necessarily mad that we broke some of his laws for his own ego but because it hurt others and us.

The reason Jesus had to die for our sins was to give us an example that the only thing that will change the world is if we forgive those who hurt us and they forgive us. It was the place where our sins were brought to their fullest and we saw our God forgive us so therefore we in turn should forgive others. The main sins that God was concerned about were rivalry, blame, scapegoat, and violence.
