And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 18:3)
These are the words of Sananda/Jesus.
If people are still divided against one another, bickering, calling other's names, not having a childlike humility. then how on Earth can we get to paradise? Answer is: We won't! We will most likely return and reincarnate to learn our lessons again. Don't we want to get off the wheel of karma? Don't we wish to advance and ascend into a better place?
I used to get all wound up on this site too - so I also engaged in the words of war. But I learnt from the wise people on this site....who didn't get caught up in this. I saw that there were members on here who contributed, who posted loving messages, and who avoided the arguments. From these people, I learnt. I then wanted to be like them and rise above all this.
Jesus had further teachings about forgiveness.
"But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matt 6:15)
'By their fruits you will know them'. If people claim they are spiritual, but their actions show otherwise - then those people are not there yet. They still have more growing to do, more mastery to attain. Paradise is not made up of people who shoot other's down with cutting remarks. Is this what you imagine paradise to be? Or is a paradise full of people who know how to love, to forgive, to walk away from cutting remarks? Those who show maturity and realise that other's are still in infant stages.

I think it is a game of snakes and ladders. When we do what is right - WE advance and WE benefit.
When we do the wrong thing, we slide down the snake, and have to crawl our way up again (bit like ascension and striving to get out of the 3D).
I'm sure it's also to do with learning Mastery over our actions. It's just a conscious choice and the rest will follow. The more we practice, the easier it gets.
Wonderful post, and so very true. If we as people can not learn to get along then we have a long long way to go. I know I have to bite my tongue and sometimes don't succeed, but I am trying to change that. Figuring that two wrongs never add up to a right, and I know when I am hurting someone's feelings, it is hurting myself just as much. I have to fight the urge sometimes when I feel like calling someone who is being mean a doodyhead, lol.
