Judaism - Oneness, Christianity - Duality
Christianity branched away from Judaism when it redefined god as a dualism. That god and his creation are separate, (G-d forbid).
Once the Christian church had dualism they were able to go on to create eternal hell and eternal salvation. The Christian church came up with those concepts approximately 60 years or so after the death of Christ.
Christians could drop the dualism, eternal hell and damnation, return to G-d is One and still know they are Loved.
I use to struggle with why the Christian church was so messed up, being raised Christian. I'd say to my mother that G-d is one and she a devote Missouri Synod would quote Genesis saying that God created the earth, therefore the earth could not be part of god. (or something like that)
I was recently discussing G-d with another devote Christian woman and I mentioned everything and everyone was G-d. She went after me like she was going to light me on fire, saying that her concept was a superior one since she believed that God was able to create life out of nothing. *sigh*
I just looked at her, realizing that nothing I said to her would make any difference.
Anyway, my thanks to Dr. Doreen Virtue who in her book on working with Divine Guidance mentioned the difficulty some Christians have in connecting to their own Divine Guidance because of their believe in a Dualism.. That God is separate (G-d forbid) from his Creation.
Reading that line it all clicked for me.
Here the Christian lady, who is this really really wonderful person, had her face turn so freaking ugly when she started spouting that there where three things she would die for. That Christ is god, that Christ died for her sins, and that Christ was from immaculate conception. (Ah.. My own note here.. Really what difference does the third point make if the first two points are granted..... I mean really...) It was so weird watching her.. This is the second time I've seen her do the Christian thing where she gets really ugly... Freakishly so, like demon possession looking. My tatic... back away slowly and keep an open path to the door. :)
I left her home shaken. Well, here's the thing, I had asked G-d to show up and talk for me when I was at her home.. and that's how the conversation went.. even that the topic would come up was different.
After digesting it and analyzing it for hours/days that's when I finally realized fully that the only way to help those types of people is indirectly. To not speak with them at all on the topic. Instead to keep working on liberating myself, anchoring heaven as the Chariot of Heaven and to help liberate the other Love Beings.
Thought I'd blog some Kabbalah, Judaism, Oneness for ya, that being, here's some posts from Chabad.org ;)
