My Spiritual Beliefs

In this post I will outline what I do and do not believe in Spirituality.

Things I do not believe:

1. Original Sin. The idea that all humans are born imperfect of evil, stemming from the story of Adam and Eve's punishment.
2. The idea of condemnation, or that God punishes people and sends them to hell.
3. The idea that Jesus is God.
4. That only people who believe in Jesus Christ can be "saved" and go to heaven, and those who "sin" cannot.
5. The idea that God's love is conditional.

Things I do believe:

1. God exists. I believe that God exists and God is All-That-Is. God is everything that exists.
2. I believe that Jesus is not God. I believe that Jesus while certainly enlightened, as Buddha was, however I do not equate Jesus as God.  As previously stated, I believe God is Everything That Exists. God is Life. 
3. I believe God's love is unconditional. Unconditional love is defined as love without conditions. I believe not only that God's love is unconditional, but that God is Unconditional Love itself. We are made of unconditional love. Because God's love is unconditional, he loves people without conditions, and therefore does not punish anyone or condemn them, or judge them or forgive them. Note: In order to forgive someone, you must have had to judge them first. God does not forgive anyone, because he has never judged them in the first place. He has always unconditionally loved them.

There is not much more to say. People cannot imagine a person with unconditional love who does not judge, and so they cannot imagine a God who does either. But God is Life, and God is Unconditional Love.
