Christian Dogma Versus Metaphysics

1a. Dogma: God is an all-powerful being and He orchestrates all the circumstances of life then judges each human’s motives and actions.

1b. Metaphysics: God is a personification of the universal power and unknown source of being through which each human co-creates the life to which he or she aspires.

2a. Dogma: God condemns sinners to Hell for all eternity.

2b. Metaphysics: When I choose to reject my ability to express unconditional love toward others, then that can create hellish human circumstances within those moments of eternity that I live.

3a. Dogma: Jesus died for our sins.

3b. Metaphysics: Forgiveness is an inspired change of mind, heart, and life that occurs within individuals whenever, and however they open themselves up to the experience and guidance of God, the ultimate Truth and highest Consciousness of being.

4a. Dogma: Jesus and God perform miracles.

4b. Metaphysics: Experiencing the reality of knowledge and wisdom beyond the human capacity to understand will certainly appear miraculous, but that which is real, forever exists in potential and is always available for expression.

5a. Dogma: Only Christians are saved and will go to heaven.

5b. Metaphysics: Spiritual awakening is an inner, personal evolution into the understanding and demonstration of divine, immutable Truth, and is not a competition among religions.
