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]

There is Only One thing God does: GIVE. God has only One desire for his children: HAPPINESS and as been pointed out everything we need for our happiness has already been given.
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?
This next installment I’ll call the bad, the good, and the better. Or; I’ve got some good news and some bad news what do ya want to hear first? The bad news, OK here it is. Now Barabbas will represent the “bad” news and Jesus will represent the “good news” two ways.
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.

But as it is, my… Continue reading Resurrection Sunday April 9, 2023
I Don’t believe God is part 4
If I look into a mirror and see a stain on my shirt and then say someone else needs to put on a clean shirt and don’t change my shirt I’m really missing the whole point of the mirror aren’t I? See Matt 7:1-4
I don’t believe God is… Part 3
Change There is a new phrase now called the “spiritual ego.” This is when we enlist the deity to be part of our group. We believe God has put his stamp of approval on our view because we are now following his commands in a “righteous cause” a holly war against some invaders trying to… Continue reading I don’t believe God is… Part 3
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.
Problems
“There is no such thing as a problem. If it can be fixed it’s not a problem, if it can’t be fixed it’s not a problem. There is no such thing as a problem.” Anon.
