Video thumbnail. Click to play


Reverend Ellen gives the third in a four-part series - Taboo Topics of Unity. These are the topics we don’t talk about much in Unity, the ones we left behind in more traditional churches and might have hoped never to hear again. In this series, Rev. Ellen Debenport views the fundamentals of Christianity through a Unity lens and answers how, or even whether, they can be included in our New Thought teachings.

Today's talk is Heaven and Hell. Most of us know that heaven and hell are states of mind, so how can we choose heaven more often? And why is the idea of punishing the wicked still so alluring?

Some of us have been wounded or outraged by the teaching that we are miserable sinners who need forgiveness but will be lucky to get it. In fact, forgiveness is something we do for ourselves. And if you still have a physical body, youre not finished forgiving!

We may no longer think of ourselves as sinners who should seek salvation, but we are living the process nonetheless. We choose sin or salvation throughout every day -- just not in the way you might think.
