A Letter My Son, A Basic Fundie.

Dear *,
All souls are in AND of God and always have been. Eternity has neither beginning nor end nor time and space.
Each soul is a thinking Thought of God, His image in microcosm. God creates by extending Love in Thought as does each soul. We are Love and collectively His Son and co-creators in His Eternal Creation.
Each of us share His Intelligence and are the beneficiaries of any benevolence we choose to attribute to Him, in limitless supply, unconditionally and without exception. How could it be otherwise?
Ever wonder why Santa Claus takes over for God at Xmas in every temple of commerce? It’s the economy, my friend.
Santa: Ho, ho, ho. You been good?
Scheming sinner: Yep!
Santa: I’ll take your word for it. What can I do for you?
Scheming sinner: All my favorite drugs and toys, good health and a comfortable place to sit among friends.
Santa: Drops off what you’ve paid for with cash and credit to celebrate the birthday of His Son and, thru you, spreads the largess among your loved ones. And then, laying his finger along side of his nose, resurrects up the chimney leaving an airborne wreath of second hand smoke.
One could make the case that Santa is Satan.
Ho, ho, ho! Let’s see.
OTOH, attribute shit/sin (see it anywhere in Creation) to God, that’s ALL you get . Got your lump of coal?
What separates a man from God? Merely his choosing to exercise his God given “right/free will” to make exceptions and receive the “knowledge of good and evil”, usually pawned off as reason and rationality. Would you judge God as you do your neighbor and folks “lesser” than yourself?
Receive Forgiveness thru your forgiveness. It works.
When the Light comes it is as darkness had not been.
Love,
