God Does Not Punish

Chapter Three of Sananda New Scripture
God Does Not Punish
Punishment Is Cruel, Unacceptable and Ineffective
It has long been believed that God punishes those who do not believe in him, or that those who do not accept the concept of One God will be condemned to a terrible Afterlife. Along with that belief system is often included the belief that those who do not accept me, Jesus, as their Saviour will suffer a similar fate - burning in Hell or being cast out of the glory of Heaven.
I wish to state emphatically and without conditions that none of these beliefs is true. Let me respond to each part of these familiar and pervasive notions.
God does not punish, and neither do I. We see punishment as cruel, unacceptable and ineffective.
There is no place such as Hell. You create your own life and the conditions of your Afterlife by your own actions and efforts during your lifetimes on Earth and elsewhere.
Creator Mother/Father God and I, along with The Company of Heaven and all Humankind, designed this "Earth Project" to allow the greatest possible opportunity for growth as Souls - those Souls who volunteered to experience the challenging learning environment which is Life on Planet Earth.
God is Love. I am Love. Compassion, Forgiveness, Hope, Harmony and Joy are Love. When you feel and act on these feelings, you are One with Us, and We are One with You.
There is another common misconception I would like to address here. It is that what we expect of you as Human Beings is "obedience to our Word". Your definition of obedience carries with it the idea of subservience to another. This is not what we wish for or desire.
Human Beings on the 3rd Dimensional Earth plane have Free Will.
