Bullet Point 12 (of 12) – God Sends Sinners to hell (misses the mark)

Bullet Point 12 (of 12): God Sends Sinners to hell (misses the mark). This is not so. People who have judgement over life and death in the courts become strange after more than 10 years of doing that and need to do something else. And those who choose to do counselling need a counsellor from time to time.

What kind of loving God would compel someone to go to hell – and what would He do with borderline cases? If this kind of God concerns you then read on. God really gave us freewill and this is not some kind of concept. 

We do need to understand the implications of what it means to have been created in the image of God (Gen.1:27) first of all.

Our spirit self, or spirit, is a substantial yet incorporeal reality which can be apprehended only through the spiritual senses. It is the subject partner to our physical self. Our spirit can communicate directly with God and is meant to govern the incorporeal world, including the angels. In appearance our spirit self matches our physical self. After we shed the physical self, we enter the spirit world and live there for eternity. The reason we desire an eternal life is because our innermost self is the spirit self which has an eternal nature. Our spirit self consists of the dual characteristics of spirit mind (subject partner) and spirit body (object partner). The spirit mind is the center of the spirit self, and it is where God dwells.

The spirit grows through give and take action between two types of nourishment: life elements of a yang type that come from God, and vitality elements of a yin type that come from the physical self. The spirit self not only receives vitality elements from the physical self; it also returns an element to the physical self which we call the living spirit element.

The spirit can grow only while it abides in the flesh. Thus, the relationship between the physical self and the spirit self is similar to that between a tree and its fruit. The spirit self can attain perfection only during a person’s earthly life. The spirit mind guides the spirit self as it grows in the soil of the physical self. The growth of the spirit self toward perfection progresses through the three orderly stages ordained by the Principle of Creation. A spirit in the formation stage of life is called a form spirit; in the growth stage, a life spirit; and in the completion stage, a divine spirit. 

A spirit fully matures as a divine spirit when the person’s spirit self and physical self unite through perfect give and take action centered on God and form the four position foundation. A divine spirit can accurately feel and perceive every reality in the spirit world.

It is not God who decides whether a person’s spirit enters heaven or hell upon his death; it is decided by the spirit himself. Humans are created so that once they reach perfection they will fully breathe the love of God. Those who committed sinful deeds while on earth become crippled spirits who are incapable of fully breathing in the love of God. They find it agonizing to stand before God, the center of true love. Of their own will, they choose to dwell in hell, far removed from the love of God.

An invitation for some spring cleaning: 3 Day workshop March 18-20th at the beautiful Mountain Retreat in West Virginia, USA. “Mission of the Messiah” and “True Parents in the Completed Testament Age” among the topics. Attendance on-line is also possible. Looking forward to seeing you there. Let’s get real about God!

Check out evidence that the 2nd coming of the Messiah must have occurred already! Between, or around, the years 1917 to 1930. It will, if nothing else, open a new perspective on your Holy Bible showing the footsteps of God in History.
