                                     The New Formation of Judgment

       As we engage the conversation on the issue of "judgment."  We must become aware of the strategy of the Ego.  It is the strategy of the Ego to always be attached to form.  There is a huge difference Biblically between Creation and Formation.  The Ego finds its grounds of

mis-function in the area of Form.  The modern day movement of Universalism must keep the main focus to be the Conventional Love of God of which is there is no conditions.  Often, movements become attached to a certain formation in which it becomes the norm to make a main issue of something that is not a main issue.  This movement has cautioned me not to become caught up in all the terminology of "inclusion, Reconciliation of All, Ultimate Reconciliation, etc...  I have meet people who believe in Universalism simply because they did a Study and all the Biblical facts line up.  I certainly celebrate that, and that elementary level is certainly promoted.  However, there are those who experienced this Extravagant Love that only needs a few scriptures.  The main issue of Universalism is the Truth of God's Love, not the precision of terminology that comes with all the facts.  The Truth of God's Magnificent Love transcends and overcomes all mental facts.

     We need a shift in how we view the Reality of God's Love and the Complete Redemption that Jesus brought!  The Reality is that Love never leaves anything undone or unfinished.  The writer of Hebrews brought out a Redemption that is "to the uttermost."  As we explore the vastness of His Extravagant Love, the more we shift in how we see the world of pain and suffering.  As a former believer in Eternal Punishment, I feared pain and suffering and actually avoided the subject all together.  When I saw things in my life or others that caused questions like "Why would a God of Love banish a non-believer to a eternal torture chamber?"  These questions become repressed and locked away in my heart.  When I saw the Beauty of His Love and Kingship, I opened the door of my heart and began to explore the world of pain and suffering.  The more we love, the more we should explore this world with understanding and see Transformation at a social level to end it.  There is a much needed emergence of activists at different levels.

     One of the main issues at the core level of pain and suffering is the Origin of Evil.  There is a lot of good and healthy discussion over the Origin of Evil.  Some say "The devil is alive and well on planet earth."  Some say "Evil is just an illusion."  Some say "Evil is a mentality we invest in."  Some have a picture of a more elaborate devil that is purposely here to buffet the Sons of God.  I say it's more elaborate than there former belief systems. 

Every time I have a shift of How I see God's Love and His Intense Goodness, my idea of Evil shifts.
