It is our perception that we are seperate from God that leads us to believe we were Banished from the Garden of Eden. This is Eden. I don't believe that Heaven, or Hell is place we go when we die. Both places are right here and now. If you perceive your life is miserable, you are in Hell. If you believe your life is grand, you are in Heaven. Life is what you make it. It is all perception. I believe in the teachings of Jesus, but I don't believe in the Dogma of christianity. I could go on and on, but THAT would be futile.
We are the Sons of God by adoption only when we become a brother to Christ by dying to sin. 'For you have not recieved a sprit of slavery leading to fear again but you have recieved a sprit of adoption as sons by which we cry out "Abba! Father!"' Believing that we do not need God is the root of suffering. Try as we might to be good people on our own, we will fail. Everything humans do is naturaly rooted in greed and pride. The dogma of Christianity is put there by man and you will find it no where in the Bible.
