gospel of one; letters of aul

Hello everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 4, paragraphs 2 and 3 in the letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Do you still think that God favors one religion over another? Or do you think that God's blessings flow to everyone regardless of what religion they may belong to, if any? We all agree, don't we, that God loves everyone, and that we are all fortunate in the long run?

Here's a question for you. Does God love us before or after we come into a right relationship with him or her? That's right, God loves everyone, even before we enter into a religious group, or profess any belief in him or her. We do not have to sign a legalistic contract, or fast for days, or scourge ourselves, or pray on our knees day and night for God to love and accept us. God loves us from the beginning. It is a free gift. It isn't any kind of business deal. It is unbreakable. There is no fine print to trick you as in a contract drawn up by some shady lawyer. Please forgive me you honest lawyers reading this."

Commentary: Do you think God will say to some people, "Sure I love you, but since you didn't believe in me in the right way, I'm going to cast you into hell. You didn't believe that the Koran was my word, or you didn't believe that Jesus was my only son and you needed to accept his sacrifice for you?" If God's love is unconditional, then that means no conditions. One thing we can always count on is the love of God. We co-create our own hellish or heavenly conditions
