Irenaeus, that second century Christian Bishop of Lugdunum, said that God created man in His image and that we returned the favor by creating God in our image. If we only knew how true that statement was. Here's my bottom line. God is LOVE: LOVE is the true nature of God!
In order for we humanoids to accept the true reality of who we are, in order to find our true IDENTITY, we must make PEACE with God.
Say what?
Yep! Too many are not at peace with God. Way too many people are blaming God for not doing this or for doing that. Or they are living in fear that God "might" do something. God might punish them or worst of all send them to hell for all eternity!
Forgive us Father for having taught such nonsense!
We were created in the image (spirit-soul) of God. The image that we see ourselves created in though is the false image, but the one that we have created regardless- the EGOIC IMAGE. I am responsible for creating the EGO that drives me. God didn't create Ernie's EGO.
Nor did God create the "story of you" that you think is you!
God is God regardless of what you or I think about God. Some time ago I began to depart from the surrogate images of God that were burned into my mind and psyche.
Kim Michaels writes, "Many people find that it difficult to accept that God is love. The problem is that human beings have created their own concept of love, and it far from the reality of divine love. The human concept of love springs from the EGO; therefore, human love is relative and conditional."
Do this ad do that and you'll go to heaven. Don' do this, nor that and you will burn in hell for all eternity. This is pure religious pandering, posturing, and a personification of God that's not the true nature of God.
God nature is LOVE: enjoy and bask in that reality!
