Yes, this thread has shown some points that are quite relevant here but easily missed.
Even though the LOO aligns with Christianity in a lot of ways. I would argue. The ways it does not align with mainstream Christian reality are very plentiful. It is a big part I think of the underlying incompatibility I have with the church. However, when I look at how some very intelligent people have positively expanded on biblical teachings. I think it is still hugely positive. An example here is Cain and Abel by Jordan Peterson:

But at the same time, in relation to what was quoted here the differences are numerous and perhaps even have the effect of barring contact with the church. On top of the examples given already including: "Jesus was not some sort of unique 'son of God' but a human being that did well." Also now I think of it 'There are no mistakes, the Law is One' We also have: Jesus was not sinless, the Law of One outlines a "sin", a "misstep" that he took when he was young in killing a companion and that he had to be karmically released from. This is one of the most important teachings of Christianity, mainstream Christianity, that the Law of One opposes.
On the subject of 'sin' though this is how I understand it. Regardless of the abuses of power of the church (i.e. taking reincarnation out the bible) There is a way that I understand the metaphor of 'sin' personally.
To me, I think a lot of similarities can be found between biblical teachings and psychotherapy. To me, when it is said we are 'born into sin' I would understand that in that we are born into a world that has a lot of darkness within it and we take on those defence mechanisms in order to defend ourselves. Rather like if any of us were in a warzone we would have to take on defence mechanisms that may not be healthy for a normal STO life! So we grow up with these defence mechanisms and as we are older we start to become the perpetrator rather than the victim. Also, the collective power of these sorts of ways of being moves us off our path and a whole bunch of stuff we do may move us off the ideal path that the spirits would like for us.
When we have karma we get stuck in darkness. If as an example we had a soulmate, assuming the paradigm for this conversation. And we had immature ideas and treated this person like dirt. The creative forces would not send us another soulmate until we had amended our ways and the karma of the adaptions made to our world so we don't meet one would be plentiful. They may include having less money to be less attractive to women. If we are to pray to be forgiven then these things can be slightly lifted. On the basis that we are also praying frequently and the higher positive forces will be sure that we are guided to more positive behaviours and won't repeat the same behaviours. They also have more power to manage events in our lives if we are praying frequently.
In general the many behaviours we have that separate us from our path is what I would determine as 'sin'. Or what various other metaphysical systems would define in some way. So in meditation perhaps 'The mind'. We also do have in the Law of One statements to the effect that certain behaviours create energy blockage which somewhat align with Christianity at various points. For instance, the segment on sexuality and orange ray blockage. Neither Christianity or the Law of One would encourage an orange ray blockage/ casual sex, as a way to be.
Also, while the Law of One clearly differs with Christian doctrine they said some things in favour of Christianity. Such as; that Jesus was such a good channel that at times he ceased being a third density being channeling the Creator and he became the Creator experiencing third density. To me, this says that his words must have some validity.
So those are my thoughts!
