"The laws are the 10 commandments and the Judge is the Father above. Breaking one of these laws is sin and would be considerable to waging war with God. Why, because God is within all! Jesus tells us this!"
What kind of God can have war wagged on him? Your perspective is small and disempowering. War implies a chance to lose... lol come on. There is no war against God / Prime Creator. The idea that there is a war against god is a trick to fool you into chaining yourself up.
There are negatively oriented individuals, but they too will eventually return to Source. When you say there is war against god, you are peddling Satanic thinking. There is no war because there was never a chance for God to lose.
The only hell that exists is the one of your own creation in this existence. There is no such thing as death, you can lose your physical body but you never die.
The only Laws on this plant are Freewill and Karma.
To quickly explain Karma: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
There are no sins, the idea of sins is a satanic infiltration. But how do you know if something is "Good" or "Bad". You do something to someone and it feels "good" but to that person it feels "bad". How can you possibly know how that person feels unless you have that done to you.
Then karama comes around - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and that same thing that made you feel good doing has been done to you. Now you understand how that truly feels, now dont do that to other people.
"What kind of God can have war wagged on him? Your perspective is small and disempowering. War implies a chance to lose... lol come on. There is no war against God / Prime Creator. The idea that there is a war against god is a trick to fool you into chaining yourself up."
Come now... It is quit obvious that you would lose against the creator, which is why he suggests not turning from him.
Read the 10 commandants and tell me how they do not lend to good karma, would it be possible to gain good karma if you didn't follow them? I do not think so.
Man has a tendency to chop shit up to make it something that can be sold. Karma is in the Bible, doing something negative/positive to another has consequences. Same with Faith. Someone can love you but if you truly believe that they hate you all that you will experience from them are things that make you reaffirm your belief that they hate you.
It is simply put in the Bible to be understood, man chopped it up and made it a feel good story, that could be SOLD!
If someone loved you and you hurt them you would expect some pain back, right?
Karma? Or God?
Y'all need to see the parallels between these. There were 12 tribes of israel, you think they all live together? They were split, tongue and all, from the whole and scattered.
They are all the same story! Only one offers it mostly for free though, more than others when you consider that the Bible is one of the most stolen items in the world. Almost like it was planned, cuz Jesus said if they are going to steal from you to let them. (how is that for filling up that karma portfolio.
The concept of Karma allows one to believe that they are "better" as well, which isn't the case in the slightest. We are all equal, another idea pushed by the Christ Jesus! All the good karma in the world doesn't make you better than someone with all the bad. It helps to support a class system, largely used in the past and into today to maintain dominance over their fellows.
Karma ends with death then, no? You kill someone you get killed back? That is exactly how it is working isn't it? All those murderers in Chicago done got murdered back so now they KNOW not to murder. There isn't much chance for redemption in that scenario. Repentance is realizing you fucked up and apologizing. If your karma were high enough you might not care to hurt this one or that one because, "I am a GOOD person!!!!" But you are not, only the Christ Jesus broke no Laws and can be considered Good. If you are Jesus then you are Golden, anyone else and oof!
You are not incorrect in saying that hell can be built, but only a mental construct in the flesh, lord knows what happens after and I doubt you want to be taking much negative karma with you to where ever you think we go.
Do unto others is also largely derived from the 10 commandments. And is a charge given by Christ Jesus himself.
Y'all are concerned with the wrong stuff.
When you understand that Jesus walked the earth to set us free from the bondage hoisted on us by our fellow men, our brothers! He spoke often that if he is with you the kingdom is at hand.
I suppose that there is nothing wrong with learning about karma the hard way, but we were given a map to follow to keep only good karma coming in and going out.
Jesus also said that you can ask for anything in his name of the Father and it would be given, without repercussion. Or you can just take what you want to have it taken from you later.
"Karma ends with death then, no? You kill someone you get killed back? That is exactly how it is working isn't it? All those murderers in Chicago done got murdered back so now they KNOW not to murder. There isn't much chance for redemption in that scenario."
No it doesn't, you have to reincarnate on this planet until you learn from your Karma. Again, there is no such thing as death, no one can get murdered.. they can lose their physical bodies but they never ever die. Karma isn't a punishment tool, it's a learning tool. If you truly understand and feel what you did was wrong and learned from it. It wont come back.
You are too deep in the illusion, this is not the real world, nothing real can ever die. Things like the 10 commandments are a trick to make you feel guilty. Sin is the ultimate ego trip and the cause of suffering.
Even them most 'evil' like Soros will eventually go back to God. You give too much power to what you call 'Evil', when you fear it, you give it power.
What you call "demons" actually need the most love. They are playing the game on hard mode +
That's why some would call this planet a prison planet. You make Karma hear and it's really tough to get out.
"Come now... It is quit obvious that you would lose against the creator, which is why he suggests not turning from him."
There is no losing, there is only experience. When you level up or return to Prime Creator, you bring the gifts of experience. The most negatively oriented beings provide valuable experience to Source....
Then shouldn't we strive to perfect our karma so that we are not subject to the rebirth process in this plane? Wouldn't it benefit one to ensure that they do not come back. If this plane is suffering, which it kind of is, wouldn't we want to make sure that as many as could come out of it? Christ's gift to man was that he exposed the powers that be so that man might get out of their control and influence. I could imagine that some of these "playing hard mode" as you call it get pleasure from causing pain, which causes them pain which allows them to derive pleasure from causing others pain. Misery loves company and it makes sure to have plenty.
Their is a way to live life that you do not have to come back to learn lessons that were purposefully obscured by the powers of this planet. Christ was specific as to who was responsible and how we keep ending back under them.
I love the idea that it is a game because that means that no one really gets hurt, and it is a promise that those that suffered will not anymore. It isn't a game though, it is life. So long as they can keep you coming back to fulfill some earthly desire or knowledge the system remains intact that enslaves all of humanity under the rule of man. It is a trap of sorts, and they use your energy in this plane to get what they desire most in this existence, being worshiped as gods. Tie that in with longevity afford to those that eat flesh and drink blood of people and you got a real problem on your hands. They will not die of natural causes as long as they have their supply. They will also do everything in their power to keep that power. We just had a wonderful example of that.
Christ said that the kingdom was at hand an awfully lot, that tells me that it isn't up in the sky or far from us, we are already in the kingdom, those that believe in Christ, we just cannot see it because people confuse and divide to maintain their own power structures.
Source doesn't require experience if it created all, it would have experienced it when it created it. Source also does not require us, we require source so it would be best to get on the side of source while you can. If God is everything why would it need to experience itself? No, we get to experience God as his children. He is love.
If you do not have Christ please seek him. I do not think that people truly understand...
Ok, the convo is going in circles now.
The following is a super high level explanation of the kingdom of heaven and us.
I strongly recommend you read this.
This is a short story by Neale donald walsh. who scribed the book series "A conversation with God"
Take that as you will, but my entire high level argument is perfectly summarized below:
Once upon no time, there was a little Soul who said to God, "I know who I am."
And God said, "That's wonderful! Who are you?"
And the Little Soul shouted, "I'm the Light!"
God smiled a big smile. "That's right!" God exclaimed. "You are the Light."
The Little Soul was so happy, for it had figured out what all the souls in the Kingdom were there to figure out.
"Wow," said the Little Soul, "this is really cool!"
But soon, knowing who it was was not enough. The Little Soul felt stirrings inside, and now wanted to be who it was. And so the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea for all souls who want to be Who They Really Are) and said,
"Hi, God! Now that I know Who I am, is it okay for me to be it?"
And God said, "You mean you want to be Who You Already Are?"
"Well," replied the Little Soul," it's one thing to know Who I Am, and another thing altogether to actually be it. I want to feel what it's like to be the Light!"
"But you already are the Light," God repeated, smiling again.
"Yes, but I want to see what that feels like!" cried the Little Soul.
"Well," said God with a chuckle, "I suppose I should have known. You always were the adventuresome one."
Then God's expression changed. "There's only one thing..."
"What?" asked the Little Soul.
"Well, there is nothing else but the Light. You see, I created nothing but what you are; and so, there is no easy way for you to experience yourself as Who You Are, since there is nothing that you are not."
"Huh?" said the Little Soul, who was now a little confused.
"Think of it this way," said God. "You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you're there all right. Along with a million, gazillion other candles who make up the Sun. And the sun would not be the Sun without you. Nay, it would be a sun without one of its candles...and that would not be the Sun at all; for it would not shine as brightly. Yet, how to know yourself as the Light when you are amidst the Light -that is the question."
"Well," the Little Soul perked up, "you're God. Think of something!"
Once more God smiled. "I already have," God said. "Since you cannot see yourself as the Light when you are in the Light, we'll surround you with darkness."
"What's darkness?" the Little Soul asked.
God replied, "It is that which you are not."
"Will I be afraid of the dark?" cried the Little Soul.
"Only if you choose to be," God answered. "There is nothing, really, to be afraid of, unless you decide that there is. You see, we are making it all up. We are pretending."
"Oh," said the Little Soul, and felt better already.
Then God explained that, in order to experience anything at all, the exact opposite of it will appear. "It is a great gift," God said, "because without it, you could not know what anything is like. You could not know Warm without Cold, Up without Down, Fast without Slow. You could not know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then."
"And so," God concluded, "when you are surrounded with darkness, do not shake your fist and raise your voice and curse the darkness. Rather be a Light unto the darkness, and don't be mad about it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and all others will know, too. Let your Light shine so that everyone will know how special you are!"
"You mean it's okay to let others see how special I am?" asked the Little Soul.
"Of course!" God chuckled. "It's very okay! But remember,'special' does not mean 'better.' Everybody is special, each in their own way! Yet many others have forgotten that. They will see that it is okay for them to be special only when you see that it is okay for you to be special."
"Wow," said the Little Soul, dancing and skipping and laughing and jumping with joy. "I can be as special as I want to be!"
"Yes, and you can start right now," said God, who was dancing and skipping and laughing right along with the Little Soul.
"What part of special do you want to be?"
"What part of special?" the Little Soul repeated. "I don't understand."
"Well," God explained, "being the Light is being special, and being special has a lot of parts to it. It is special to be kind. It is special to be gentle. It is special to be creative. It is special to be patient. Can you think of any other ways it is special to be?"
The Little Soul sat quietly for a moment. "I can think of lots of ways to be special!" the Little Soul then exclaimed. "It is special to be helpful. It is special to be sharing. It is special to be friendly. It is special to be considerate of others!"
"Yes!" God agreed, "and you can be all of those things, or any part of special you wish to be, at any moment. That's what it means to be the Light."
"I know what I want to be, I know what I want to be!" the Little Soul announced with great excitement. "I want to be the part of special called 'forgiving'. Isn't it special to be forgiving?"
"Oh, yes," God assured the Little Soul. "That is very special."
"Okay," said the Little Soul. "That's what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as that."
"Good," said God, "but there's one thing you should know."
The Little Soul was becoming a bit impatient now. It always seemed as though there were some complication.
"What is it?" the Little Soul sighed.
"There is no one to forgive."
"No one?" The Little Soul could hardly believe what had been said.
"No one!" God repeated. "Everything I have made is perfect. There is not a single soul in all creation less perfect than you. Look around you."
It was then that the Little Soul realized a large crowd had gathered. Souls had come from far and wide ~ from all over the Kingdom ~ for the word had gone forth that the Little Soul was having this extraordinary conversation with God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were saying. Looking at the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul had to agree. None appeared less wonderful, less magnificent, or less perfect than the Little Soul itself. Such was the wonder of the souls gathered around, and so bright was their Light, that the Little Soul could scarcely gaze upon them.
"Who, then, to forgive?" asked God.
"Boy, this is going to be no fun at all!" grumbled the Little Soul. "I wanted to experience myself as One Who Forgives. I wanted to know what that part of special felt like."
And the Little Soul learned what it must feel like to be sad. But just then a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
"Not to worry, Little Soul," the Friendly Soul said, "I will help you."
"You will?" the Little Soul brightened. "But what can you do?"
"Why, I can give you someone to forgive!"
"You can?"
"Certainly!" chirped the Friendly Soul. "I can come into your next lifetime and do something for you to forgive."
"But why? Why would you do that?" the Little Soul asked. "You, who are a Being of such utter perfection! You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to want to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your bright Light would become dark and dense? What could cause you ~ who are so light that you dance upon the stars and move through the Kingdom with the speed of your thought--to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do this bad thing?"
"Simple," the Friendly Soul said. "I would do it because I love you."
The Little Soul seemed surprised at the answer.
"Don't be so amazed," said the Friendly Soul, "you have done the same thing for me. Don't you remember? Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. Across all time and in many places have we played together. You just don't remember."
"We have both been All Of It. We have been the Up and the Down of it, the Left and the Right of it. We have been the Here and the There of it, the Now and the Then of it. We have been the male and the female, the good and the bad; we have both been the victim and the villain of it."
"Thus have we come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are. And so," the Friendly Soul explained further, "I will come into your next lifetime and be the 'bad one' this time. I will do something really terrible, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.
"But what will you do?" the Little Soul asked, just a little nervously, "that will be so terrible?"
"Oh," replied the Friendly Soul with a twinkle, "we'll think of something."
Then the Friendly Soul seemed to turn serious, and said in a quiet voice, "You are right about one thing, you know."
"What is that?" the Little Soul wanted to know.
"I will have to slow down my vibration and become very heavy to do this not-so-nice thing. I will have to pretend to be something very unlike myself. And so, I have but one favour to ask of you in return."
"Oh, anything, anything!" cried the Little Soul, and began to dance and sing, "I get to be forgiving, I get to be forgiving!"
Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was remaining very quiet.
"What is it?" the Little Soul asked. "What can I do for you? You are such an angel to be willing to do this for me!"
"Of course this Friendly Soul is an angel!" God interrupted. "Everyone is! Always remember: I have sent you nothing but angels."
And so the Little Soul wanted more than ever to grant the Friendly Soul's request. "What can I do for you?" the Little Soul asked again.
"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," the Friendly Soul replied, "in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could possible imagine ~ in that very moment..."
"Yes?" the Little Soul interrupted, "yes...?""Remember Who I Really Am."
"Oh, I will!" cried the Little Soul, "I promise! I will always remember you as I see you right here, right now!"
"Good," said the Friendly Soul, "because, you see, I will have been pretending so hard, I will have forgotten myself. And if you do not remember me as I really am, I may not be able to remember for a very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you may even forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come along and remind us both of Who We Are."
"No, we won't!" the Little Soul promised again. "I will remember you! And I will thank you for bringing me this gift ~ the chance to experience myself as Who I Am.
" And so, the agreement was made. And the Little Soul went forth into a new lifetime, excited to be the Light, which was very special, and excited to be that part of special called Forgiveness.
And the Little Soul waited anxiously to be able to experience itself as Forgiveness, and to thank whatever other soul made it possible. And at all the moments in that new lifetime, whenever a new soul appeared on the scene, whether that new soul brought joy or sadness--and especially if it brought sadness--the Little Soul thought of what God had said.
"Always remember," God had smiled, "I have sent you nothing but angels."
"There are negatively oriented individuals, but they too will eventually return to Source. When you say there is war against god, you are peddling Satanic thinking. There is no war because there was never a chance for God to lose."
You are kind of right. God cannot lose, YOU CAN however and that isn't what is wanted.
So then their are no crimes? Why are we permitting man to encourage to us that their are? Why do we allow man to imprison others? To kill others?
It is written that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but delights at their opportunity to turn to him.
See, it is literally the same thing. We are not arguing, we are talking about two versions of the same story. The story I use just happens to be the first penned to paper and collected into a book.
In the beginning there was the word and the word was with God and was God.
John
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
In the beginning was Truth, and then we learned how to lie to "better" ourselves or skirt consequence. Think karma.
You cannot separate yourself from God, you can only turn your back on him. He decides who to separate from himself.
"The laws are the 10 commandments and the Judge is the Father above. Breaking one of these laws is sin and would be considerable to waging war with God. Why, because God is within all! Jesus tells us this!"
What kind of God can have war wagged on him? Your perspective is small and disempowering. War implies a chance to lose... lol come on. There is no war against God / Prime Creator. The idea that there is a war against god is a trick to fool you into chaining yourself up.

Then God explained that, in order to experience anything at all, the exact opposite of it will appear. "It is a great gift," God said, "because without it, you could not know what anything is like. You could not know Warm without Cold, Up without Down, Fast without Slow. You could not know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then."
"And so," God concluded, "when you are surrounded with darkness, do not shake your fist and raise your voice and curse the darkness. Rather be a Light unto the darkness, and don't be mad about it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and all others will know, too. Let your Light shine so that everyone will know how special you are!"
"You mean it's okay to let others see how special I am?" asked the Little Soul.
"Of course!" God chuckled. "It's very okay! But remember,'special' does not mean 'better.' Everybody is special, each in their own way! Yet many others have forgotten that. They will see that it is okay for them to be special only when you see that it is okay for you to be special."
"Wow," said the Little Soul, dancing and skipping and laughing and jumping with joy. "I can be as special as I want to be!"
"Yes, and you can start right now," said God, who was dancing and skipping and laughing right along with the Little Soul.
"What part of special do you want to be?"
"What part of special?" the Little Soul repeated. "I don't understand."
"Well," God explained, "being the Light is being special, and being special has a lot of parts to it. It is special to be kind. It is special to be gentle. It is special to be creative. It is special to be patient. Can you think of any other ways it is special to be?"
The Little Soul sat quietly for a moment. "I can think of lots of ways to be special!" the Little Soul then exclaimed. "It is special to be helpful. It is special to be sharing. It is special to be friendly. It is special to be considerate of others!"
"Yes!" God agreed, "and you can be all of those things, or any part of special you wish to be, at any moment. That's what it means to be the Light."
"I know what I want to be, I know what I want to be!" the Little Soul announced with great excitement. "I want to be the part of special called 'forgiving'. Isn't it special to be forgiving?"
"Oh, yes," God assured the Little Soul. "That is very special."
"Okay," said the Little Soul. "That's what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as that."
"Good," said God, "but there's one thing you should know."
The Little Soul was becoming a bit impatient now. It always seemed as though there were some complication.
"What is it?" the Little Soul sighed.
"There is no one to forgive."
"No one?" The Little Soul could hardly believe what had been said.
"No one!" God repeated. "Everything I have made is perfect. There is not a single soul in all creation less perfect than you. Look around you."
It was then that the Little Soul realized a large crowd had gathered. Souls had come from far and wide ~ from all over the Kingdom ~ for the word had gone forth that the Little Soul was having this extraordinary conversation with God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were saying. Looking at the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul had to agree. None appeared less wonderful, less magnificent, or less perfect than the Little Soul itself. Such was the wonder of the souls gathered around, and so bright was their Light, that the Little Soul could scarcely gaze upon them.
"Who, then, to forgive?" asked God.
"Boy, this is going to be no fun at all!" grumbled the Little Soul. "I wanted to experience myself as One Who Forgives. I wanted to know what that part of special felt like."
And the Little Soul learned what it must feel like to be sad. But just then a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
"Not to worry, Little Soul," the Friendly Soul said, "I will help you."
"You will?" the Little Soul brightened. "But what can you do?"
"Why, I can give you someone to forgive!"
"You can?"
"Certainly!" chirped the Friendly Soul. "I can come into your next lifetime and do something for you to forgive."
"But why? Why would you do that?" the Little Soul asked. "You, who are a Being of such utter perfection! You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to want to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your bright Light would become dark and dense? What could cause you ~ who are so light that you dance upon the stars and move through the Kingdom with the speed of your thought--to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do this bad thing?"
"Simple," the Friendly Soul said. "I would do it because I love you."
The Little Soul seemed surprised at the answer.
"Don't be so amazed," said the Friendly Soul, "you have done the same thing for me. Don't you remember? Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. Across all time and in many places have we played together. You just don't remember."
"We have both been All Of It. We have been the Up and the Down of it, the Left and the Right of it. We have been the Here and the There of it, the Now and the Then of it. We have been the male and the female, the good and the bad; we have both been the victim and the villain of it."
"Thus have we come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are. And so," the Friendly Soul explained further, "I will come into your next lifetime and be the 'bad one' this time. I will do something really terrible, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.
"But what will you do?" the Little Soul asked, just a little nervously, "that will be so terrible?"
"Oh," replied the Friendly Soul with a twinkle, "we'll think of something."
Then the Friendly Soul seemed to turn serious, and said in a quiet voice, "You are right about one thing, you know."
"What is that?" the Little Soul wanted to know.
"I will have to slow down my vibration and become very heavy to do this not-so-nice thing. I will have to pretend to be something very unlike myself. And so, I have but one favour to ask of you in return."
"Oh, anything, anything!" cried the Little Soul, and began to dance and sing, "I get to be forgiving, I get to be forgiving!"
Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was remaining very quiet.
"What is it?" the Little Soul asked. "What can I do for you? You are such an angel to be willing to do this for me!"
"Of course this Friendly Soul is an angel!" God interrupted. "Everyone is! Always remember: I have sent you nothing but angels."
And so the Little Soul wanted more than ever to grant the Friendly Soul's request. "What can I do for you?" the Little Soul asked again.
"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," the Friendly Soul replied, "in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could possible imagine ~ in that very moment..."
"Yes?" the Little Soul interrupted, "yes...?""Remember Who I Really Am."
"Oh, I will!" cried the Little Soul, "I promise! I will always remember you as I see you right here, right now!"
"Good," said the Friendly Soul, "because, you see, I will have been pretending so hard, I will have forgotten myself. And if you do not remember me as I really am, I may not be able to remember for a very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you may even forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come along and remind us both of Who We Are."
"No, we won't!" the Little Soul promised again. "I will remember you! And I will thank you for bringing me this gift ~ the chance to experience myself as Who I Am.
" And so, the agreement was made. And the Little Soul went forth into a new lifetime, excited to be the Light, which was very special, and excited to be that part of special called Forgiveness.
And the Little Soul waited anxiously to be able to experience itself as Forgiveness, and to thank whatever other soul made it possible. And at all the moments in that new lifetime, whenever a new soul appeared on the scene, whether that new soul brought joy or sadness--and especially if it brought sadness--the Little Soul thought of what God had said.
"Always remember," God had smiled, "I have sent you nothing but angels."
by Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations With God
"There are negatively oriented individuals, but they too will eventually return to Source. When you say there is war against god, you are peddling Satanic thinking. There is no war because there was never a chance for God to lose."
You are kind of right. God cannot lose, YOU CAN however and that isn't what is wanted.
It's more complicated, but no, sooner of later we ALL come back to god.
You can separate yourself from God as much as you want, but at the end we are all connected.
Everything is made out of the same thing... God.
So then their are no crimes? Why are we permitting man to encourage to us that their are? Why do we allow man to imprison others? To kill others?
It is written that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but delights at their opportunity to turn to him.
See, it is literally the same thing. We are not arguing, we are talking about two versions of the same story. The story I use just happens to be the first penned to paper and collected into a book.
In the beginning there was the word and the word was with God and was God.
John
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
In the beginning was Truth, and then we learned how to lie to "better" ourselves or skirt consequence. Think karma.
You cannot separate yourself from God, you can only turn your back on him. He decides who to separate from himself.
