16 Atonement The present day Christian doctrine of atonement, which is, that Jesus gave his life on the cross for the sins of others, and that one may achieve paradise by believing in this idea of atonement, is based on the supposed sin of Adam. In fact, Eve was held t o be more responsible than Adam according to the Bible since she persuaded Adam to eat the forbidden “fruit”. The Bible says: “And the man said, ‘the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat’ “. (Genesis 3:12) To present Jesus as sinless because he did not have a father, makes it more questionable, as Jesus was born just of woman and it was woman, according to the Bible, who gave the forbidden fruit to Adam. And, again, what does the Bible say of a person born o f a woman? “What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous”. (Job 15:4) Again it says: “How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?” (Job 25:4)
