Therefore, there are continuous cycles of sin developing and being overcome in a material environment. Whatever atonement means, it has to be interpreted in relation to human responsibilities in developing awareness and concerns in overcoming sin. The same is true of faith vs. works. Christ overcame sin by developing truth about it. Sin cannot exist in the light of truth.
Truth however needs to be developed.
The sin is overcome wherever the truth is sufficiently developed. If you believe these facts, they remove most of the major errors in religion.
