Last post by Ross - April 19, 2026, 03:24:31 AMThe ONLY THING to repentance people after death will be Jesus.
The resurrection to totally different surroundings will be part of that change.

Judgement and Punishment / Re: Are you God's body?
Last post by Ross - April 15, 2026, 05:17:52 AMThe ego- stimulated by the flesh- tries to explain our state of being.
The twisting of the truth to try and justify our weaknesses totally downplays our glorious future along with the concept of coming ages being plural and precisely planned.
Also doesn't recognise the work of Christ and his resurrection.

Judgement and Punishment / Re: Are you God's body?

**According to *A Course in Miracles* (ACIM), you are not what the ego or the world tells you that you are.**
You are not a body. You are not a personality. You are not a separate, limited individual living in a world of time, space, and conflict. Those are all illusions—projections of the ego's mistaken belief in separation from God.
### The direct answer from the Course itself
In the Workbook for Students (Part II, section 14: "What Am I?"), the Course gives this clear, unequivocal statement of your true identity:
> **I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love.**
> In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.
> And what I am guarantees eternal life for all creation, because all creation is what I am.
This is who you *really* are—God's one Son (the Christ, the Self), eternal, perfect, sinless, and at one with God and all creation. You have never left Heaven. You have never sinned. You have never been separate, guilty, or afraid. The "you" that seems to be here in a body is a temporary dream figure; your true Self has never changed and never will.
### Key points the Course repeats throughout
- **You are spirit, not body.** "I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me." (This idea is drilled into the daily lessons.)
- **Your true Identity is shared.** There is only one Son of God; every seemingly separate "brother" is part of that one Self.
- **The ego is the false self.** It is the thought of separation that made the dream of a world and a personal "I." The miracle (a shift in perception) undoes the ego and reveals your real Identity.
- **You are Love itself.** Love is your nature because God is Love, and you are His extension. Fear, guilt, and sin are impossible in what you truly are.
The entire Course—Text, Workbook, and Manual—is a training program to help you remember this truth and stop identifying with the ego's tiny, fearful self-concept. When the Workbook asks "What am I?" it is inviting you to lay aside every false idea and let the answer be revealed by the Holy Spirit (or Jesus, the Course's voice).
In short:
**You are God's Son—complete, healed, whole, and forever at home in His Love.**
That is the answer *A Course in Miracles* gives. Everything else is just a mistaken dream from which you are awakening.

The flesh tries to claim personal effort for the the work done by Christ.
All these verses highlight the Lord as the ONLY WAY TO A BETTER LIFE WHICH WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY HIM FOR ALL MANKIND.

I got this from the above weblink:
MALACHI 3:2-3 Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a laundress's soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver, he will purify the Levies and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness. (NIV)
https://tentmaker.org/books/BibleThreateningsExplained.html#1
I got this from the above weblink:
HE IS A "REFINER'S FIRE"
He burns to purify. "He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Could the melting metal feel, how might it misunderstand the process through which it is passing. The unrelenting fire burns beneath the crucible, and the dirty, unsightly ore becomes like liquid light, and circulates as useful coin, and sparkles on the fingers of happy brides, and shines on the sceptres of kings, and in the coronets of queens. And all because the severe and purifying fire of the refiner has tried it.
Inasmch as the consuming fire of God is refining, we learn that it only destroys the dross of sin, and leaves the spiritual gold, the immortal soul, unscathed and pure when its blessed work is finished.
