Good News.

The Good News is that God does not judge us or punish us.

God loves us like a Father, and He will not punish His children.

So why has the Church traditionally taught that God punishes sin and that God will judge us after death and on the Last Day?

The reason is simple - the Church is part of the ruling elite and it is their policy to keep the masses under control.

And to do this they use the carrot and stick of heaven and hell.

But where did these ideas come from originally?

These ideas stem from humankind's fear.

We find it difficult to imagine a God who does not reward good and punish evil.

And so we find these threats attached to the revelations from God.

But the reality is that God does not punish us or judge us.

God loves us.

This is Good News.
