We, therefore, describe this Trinity as "Father, Son and Holy Spirit". And here, Jesus of Nazareth or Christ constitutes "the Son". We have learned that the Godhead constitutes this Trinity. He is three and yet only one. This idea has, in turn, led to a complete departure from the true understanding of Christ and his mission. He is mistakenly perceived, not as a human, but as the Godhead, and prayers are sent to him. But praying to him instead of directly to the Godhead is of little meaning. Guardian angels, whose task it is to hear our prayers, are under no misunderstanding. They see through such a prayer, what is at the core of the situation of the person praying, and they take a stand on it, regardless of whether the prayer is addressed to Christ or directly to the Godhead.

Christian worship has thereby been derailed. Rather than placing a certain emphasis on improving one's disposition, purifying it of the selfish and animalistic tendencies that create antipathy and war with one's neighbour, which, in turn, lead to the war of all against all, the belief is that everything is about orientating oneself towards God's grace and mercy. One orientates more towards the invisible or abstract part of the Godhead than on the real, visible and direct part of the Godhead that constitutes our neighbour. Thus, the Christian cult or worship of God becomes the worship of a dream world rather than the worship of a realistic, concrete world.

The theory of the forgiveness of sins created a method in which one believes one can reach salvation or spiritual good without having to take responsibility for one's deeds or actions. This theory was exaggerated so much that atonement became a commodity. Forgiveness of sins could be purchased from the Pope – not just atonement for the sins one had committed, but also for the sins one would commit in the future, whether conscious or unconscious. No greater deviation from the truth exists in reality. Instead of developing humanity to take responsibility for their mode of existence, the theory of atonement fostered humanity to, in the worst case, slink away from this responsibility and obtain blessings for which it was, to the greatest extent, immature and thereby unworthy of obtaining.

Thus, the particular contemporary primary practice of the Christian world religion is to give people the idea that, through grace and mercy from God, they can obtain atonement for the crimes or transgressions they have committed against their neighbours when they ask God for it in Jesus' name and that this is the only way to salvation or paradise. In this way, the beings of paradise become a collection of beings who have sinned and committed crimes against their fellow beings, but who have been pardoned. Paradise, the coming thousand-year kingdom or the kingdom of heaven, is thereby a home for a collection of pardoned criminals or sinners. But God wanted to create humanity in his image. But is humanity in the image of God nothing more than a pardoned criminal or sinner? Could this be the pinnacle of God's plan for humanity? Isn't it easy to see that something is wrong here?

In Christ, one witnessed a man who was perfect even at birth. There seemed to be no innate original sin in him, just as his way of being could also be described as "I and the Father, we are one". One had to come to believe he was an exception. He was God's own son and was, therefore, free from sin. He was a Godhead whose equal one could never be. That he had reached this perfection in previous lives was incomprehensible. And so people concentrated more on receiving grace and atonement from him than on emulating his way of being. And so this became the primary aspect in the Christian world religion until now.

Through spiritual science, we see that Christ was a perfect human. Thus, he was not the Godhead himself, who had left his high heaven to walk among humanity. When he said that I and the Father are one, he did not mean he was the one true God, but rather that he completely understood God's will and world plan. He was on the same wavelength as God's intention for humanity. Just as God's way of being creates perfection in all its unfolding, so too did Christ feel that his way of being created perfection in its unfolding. He loved his neighbour as himself. And he saw it was the same love that radiated everywhere as the ultimate result in all manifestations of God. And his true mission was also to be a model for the perfect human being. He could rightly say in his physical organism, "Which of you convinceth me of sin?" Just as he could also say, "I and the Father are one."

These things were not the result of delusions of grandeur, but were said precisely so humanity could then notice him and see whether they could find any sin or criminal tendencies in him. Nor did he say this so humanity would think he was a godhead whose equal they could never become. On the contrary, he said, "… learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart".

Through this consciousness, humanity has become a being who, like Christ, is one with the Father. They know the world plan and see that all its ultimate results are merged in the great and only result that everything is very good, precisely because all forms of energies ultimately bring human beings to love their neighbour as they love themselves. And only in this mode of existence can the being be raised above matter or the dark forces, which a pardoned sinner cannot be. But through the many lives, the pardoned sinner becomes a being who does overcome things and, thereby, acquires Jesus' or the perfect human's way of being and thereby becomes a being who, through this transformed way of being, neutralises the effects of their wrong actions. Then they can say, like Christ, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth, though he were dead, yet shall he live". Thus, the great future goal of every human being is solely to become one with the Father.
