Christianity in Light

After going from Christian to atheist, it is very likely that you might be a Christian again. But just as there are two types of atheists, there are two types of Christians. The first type of Christian would believe some of the things that I mentioned in the post "Christianity in Darkness," and the second type of Christian would not take on any of the beliefs on that post. The former is against other religions, and possibly other denominations of their own religion as well. The latter Christian has a universal standpoint, in harmony with other religions. Interestingly enough, their beliefs can be in harmony with other religions, and they can also have their own Christian beliefs that are different from other belief systems.

These Universal Christians believe in the Trinity, the Christ, the Second Coming, the Atonement, and forgiveness, just as all Christians do, but these are seen in a different way than it is understood today. In the Trinity, we have the Father in Heaven, who knows only the unity of His creation. His Son is one with Him, but He knows that His Son has forgotten this. Ever since the Son of God fell asleep, He sent His Holy Spirit to quietly wake the Son. The Son of God is truly all of us, all consciousness in the physical world. It is not only Jesus, as it is commonly believed.

Throughout his own life, Jesus eventually reached the realization of the Christ, and became the anointed one. He was able to say that he is the Christ, the Son of God, because he knew it from his experience of oneness with his Father. "I and my Father are one." Jesus tries to remind us that we are the same, and it is only these Universal Christians that recognize this. We are the only begotten Son of God, we are the Christ, we are one with our Father.

The Second Coming is already here, but it will only be seen when the Christ-consciousness arises in the minds of men. We are the Second Coming, and Jesus was just an example, just a little sample, of the Coming of Christ. When we realize the Christ is here already, and that it is none other than ourselves, we will have the Atonement, or the at-one-ment. Our sins will be forgiven, because we will realize the Christ is sinless.

Forgiveness is known to the Universal Christian as acknowledging that there was no sin, because the Son of God cannot sin. Whenever we see sin, it is really an illusion of fear and separation, and is not real. By thinking that it is real, we replace the reality of how God created us, as the Son of God, with our own false identity as sinners. We do not forgive sin by seeing that everyone as a sinner, but by seeing everyone as the sinless Son of God. New Atheists have acknowledged that error.

But what is God? Is he a tyrant? Does He get angry and screw up, killing humans? Is he a hateful God? Does He crucify Jesus in order to forgive as Atonement? No. God does not make demands that the ego would make, for fear, pain and separation. The reason for Jesus' crucifixion was to show the immortality of the Son of God. It was needed to demonstrate the power of resurrection, and the choice to be crucified was chosen by Jesus and not thrown upon him by God. If God did do so, we would forget Him. And we have! What is God? He is Perfection, Love, Light, Joy, Peace, and All-Power, All-Will, and All-That-Is. He is the oneness, and it is only He that exists. He is not separation, fear, hate, or any negativity or foolishness at all!

Since Christians throughout history have tried to destroy the harmony and unity of religions to make themselves right, we have made many errors in the Christian religion. There were enough people that found evidence of Jesus going to India, Tibet, and other such places on the way during his "lost years," from 13 to 30. He taught karma and reincarnation instead of God destroying and punishing, and torturing people in hell for eternity. Still, the Christians fight to be right and become illogical, while the Universal Christians use logic and unity, holding love and light in mind at all times. They accept the universal unity, and don't care about being right. They just want to be happy. Great, we could say they're wrong, and that wouldn't matter. You would still be oblivious to God's love while the Christians "in the Light" would be soaked in it.
