"The word SIN or WRONG may appear simple and widely used (and is more derogatory
than empathic and motivating). Yet few really understand
the depth of its meaning and ramifications. Bear in mind that there is no
rigidity but in reality, there is great degree of flexibility with regards to
SIN or WRONG. This may not be apparent to the brethren on earth. Everyone will
come to know more and will not want to refer to word SIN or WRONG. Rather as
they progress, and emancipate themselves from fear (due to lack of grasp of
inner truth), they will then progressively not view life superficially but more
correctly in depth and width to understand that all need to learn and progress.
Thus it is important to know that brethren are not WRONG but less right. This
disposition removes fear and guilt and motivates brethren to improve and learn." Lord Bo Tien's 1975 Anniversary
Message
If all understand this, they will harbour no fear and guilt. They will not in their passion in their belief or faith instill fear and emotional unrest to bring others to their fold or viewpoint.
This would bring humanity back to the day of cave dwellers when men feared lightning and thunder and think that heaven was angry with them.
When there is fear and guilt in religion, often this is the creation or folly of man and not of God and saints
