In a message from Peter about some false teachings which abound in the world. Found in, The Gospel of God’s Love, The Padgett Messages, on page 264.
I write to corroborate what Paul said, both to the errors in the book you’ve been reading and of the Bible upon which the author based his conclusions. There are some epistles in the Bible attributed to me (Peter), which I did write to members of the church over which I had supervision; but these epistles as contained in the Bible are in many particulars untrue, and conflicting with my beliefs, then and now, and I never wrote such conflicting statements.
“I never wrote that Jesus paid a ransom for humankind, or that his death on the cross saved humans from the death which they inherited from the first parents, or anything of the kind that insinuated that God’s children were saved by any act of Jesus which “satisfied the wrath of God” (God has no wrath), or as the author wrote, satisfied “divine Justice.”
“Justice was not an element in the plan of mankind’s salvation, only Love and Mercy, and the desire of the Father that humans become reconciled to him, that his beloved children come to him and receive the great gift of Divine Love. No shedding of blood, or death of Jesus, or vicarious atonement could have accomplished this, for none of these things would affect the soul development of a human being. The matter of soul development is an individual matter, and can only be accomplished by a person who seeks for God’s great Gift of Love, then receives and develops It. They then become partakers of the Divine Nature and at-One with the Father.
“How deplorable it is that human beings teach this erroneous doctrine of the blood atonement. How very much harm it is doing to humankind, and to spirits as well; for many spirits come into the spirit world with their belief so firmly established in this doctrine that they remain for years in that condition of belief, with a consequent stagnation of their soul’s progress, and of their obtaining knowledge of Truth.
“The author will undoubtedly have to pay the penalty for his erroneous teachings, and may need to “unteach” the spirits who, when on earth, believed his false teachings. Someday human beings on earth will know the higher spiritual truths, and the Truths shall make them free.
