What is He going to do? Condemn....

The Church’s ideas of original sin and everlasting punishment in hell had me scared.  Those ideas had me, and you, condemned to hell just for being born.  And except for a few particular things, there was very little we could do about it. 
It was the book CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD by Neale Donald Walsh in 1995 that told me things that now seem obvious.  “I tell you there is no such experience after death as you have constructed in your fear-based theologies.  Yet there is an experience of the soul so unhappy, so incomplete, so less than whole, so separated from God’s greatest joy, that to your soul this would be hell.  But I tell you I do not send you there, nor do I cause this experience to be visited upon you.”  
I recall sobbing when I read this.   I knew that God would not create me and a nasty place to send me.  I just knew it.  Now I had read it in black and white. 
This is how Dr. David R. Hawkins puts it in HEALING AND RECOVERY:  “He (God) is going to understand human nature and is not going to throw me into the pit fires of hell for being human.  He created me as human;  I’m his handiwork.  What is He going to do?  Condemn his own creation?”
It is amazing the relief from fear and guilt this gives.
