The outcome from being Attached to the Heavenly realms? Unity Ephesians 4: 14-16 We “must hold firmly to the message as it has been taught, so that [we] can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.” Titus 1: 9 II Timothy 4: 2-5 II Peter 2: 1-3
Islam Koran 4: 157-158 – “…and for their saying, 'We killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger (and Prophet) of Allah.' They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but to them, he (the crucified) had been given the look (of Prophet Jesus). Those who differ concerning him (Prophet Jesus) are surely in doubt regarding him, they have no knowledge of him, except the following of supposition, and (it is) a certainty they did not kill him. Rather, Allah raised him up to Him. Allah is Almighty, the Wise.”
Islam 9: 30 - “the Christians say that the Messiah is the son of God. Such are their assertions, by which they imitate the infidels of old. God confound them! How perverse they are!” 19: 88-89 – “Those who say: ‘The Lord of Mercy has begotten a son,’ preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a son to the Merciful, when it does not become the Lord of Mercy to beget one!”
LDS Church “Man was also in the beginning with God.” LDS Doctrine & Covenants 93: 29 “…for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.” – Book of Mormon, II Nephi 25: 23
LDS Church “All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize his or her divine destiny as an heir of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.” The Family: A Proclamation to the World - President Gordon B. Hinckley, September 23, 1995.

A Course in Miracles Helen Schucman Christ is God's Son as He created Him. The final judgment on the world contains no condemnation. God is in everything I see. God is in this coat hanger.
