"Atlantic" is a word in ENGLISH
Of or pertaining to the isle of Atlantis.

to the ocean which lies between Europe and Africa on the east and
America on the west; as, the Atlantic Ocean (called also the Atlantic);
the Atlantic basin; the Atlantic telegraph.
Descended from Atlas.
The Christian does not avoid sin to achieve salvation, but rather salvation brings him to a desire not to sin. The closer that one's spirit is synchronized with the holy knowledge of God, the more he comprehends how and why sin is destructive to himself and others in each and every circumstance. The dwindling desire for sin is a premature gift of Heaven - where there will be no sin, where all will, too, possess that full and complete wisdom; all will have perfect reasons not to sin. In this way, free will might still exist, but the shared wisdom of God will simply outwit all desires, impulses, and needs to sin.
