When you are saved from sin...

[Nakosis]

What does that mean?

Does that mean you no longer sin?
Does it mean that your sins no longer count against you?
Is it a process that happens over time or does it occur right away?

I suppose this is specific to Christianity. I don't think other beliefs have the theological idea of salvation from sin.

Several Christian denominations interpret it differently.
According to what I have been taught, it means that repentance and reparation can lead to salvation. But they don't depend on God. They are not something passive (the Christian denominations that believe in predestination do think they are something passive).

What I believe is that God has left us alone. With the burden of free will.
And so men are 100% accountable for their actions. And the actions that affect the others' lives negatively are the most negative ones.

It terrifies me that there are certain Christian denominations, nowadays, that tend to nullify or attenuate the clear distinction between good and evil. Between the wicked and the just.
God looks at the heart of the people. Whether in their heart there is love and justice...or not.

From my point of view:

The root of sin is an inherent oppositional attitude without any justification other than doing the opposite of what is instructed.

Being free from sin means that this oppositional nature is no longer an influence interferring with the submission to divine authority.

Being free from sin can be temporary, where this oppositional nature is distracted. Or it can be permanent where the oppositional nature is annihilated.

How to do this, or even if it's possible, is the subject of debate.

Correct.

It is a mythical notion of Hellenist-Pauline-ianity, of dying rising atoning deity, it has got nothing to (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, please. Right?
If not, kindly quote from Yeshua in an unequivocal, straightforward and unambiguous manner, please. Right?
