1. God does not forgive because He has never condemned. ²And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. ³Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. ⁴Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. ⁵As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.
2. Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. [W.46:1-2]

ACIM WB 166 Commentary
Few ask the very simple question: “There must be a better way, there has got to be, please let there be a way out of here?”
Solving problems
A problem cannot be solved on the same level in which it was created. All problems in the consciousness of duality can only be solved if taken to a higher Reality.
Jesus or Barabbas?

Seventy Times Seven
As radical as Moses’ solution was to the ancient peoples how much more radical are Jesus’ directions to the people listening to him. He has just turned the world upside down or may I suggest right side up. This is how people are supposed to live in relations and societies.
Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden does not exist in time. It does not even exist in the future for you, and the Garden of Eden does not exist in space. There is no place where you will find it, even those spots on the face of the globe where it is claimed that the Garden of Eden once was.
I don’t believe God is… Part 2
Hateful to Her enemies: She does not kill those who disagree with Her, She is not opposed by any power. How can an Omnipotent God have nay enemies?
I Don’t Believe God is…
We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.
