<Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws that govern your relationship with God.>
Actually they are both one continuum like all spectrum... ie. visable and non-visable 'light' or 'sound'.
<Law 1: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.>
"Love" is at the high end of the human spectral experience. OTOH, hate, guilt, etc are at the low end. They actually have a different vibrational frequency. To live at the highest frequencies as described by philosphers, psychologists, etc for centuries is closest to 'godliness'. The lower realms are often described as hell realms.
<Law 2: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.>
As desribed by all the great mystics through history, including the Buddha and Lord Krishna... as well as Christ... and of course the book of Genesis.
<Law 3: Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.>
This has long been misinterpreted to mean that one has to 'pray to Jesus Christ' to attain the highest levels and end up in 'heaven'. Actually anyone following a spiritual path that leads to the higher levels {Unconditinal Love and above} can experience gods love, etc. Of course this includeds the path described by the Buddha and Krishna. Mystics of these traditions have described the exact same experience as the Christian mystics.
<He Is the Only Way to God: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6)>
As above, this has been misinterpreted as meaning {by many} you must be Christian and pray to Jesus to realize god. As one can see... that's NOT what it says. It is the viewpoint of lower level ego's that misinterpreted many of Jesus statements.
<Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self>
Exactly.... GOD from self... even if you don't have a picture of Jesus over your mantle.... of course that wouldn't hurn either! Another quick note on the above... god is omnipresent in all these traditions, he's not "elsewhere" waiting till you die and judge you... you can turn to godliness anytime... this is why Buddhist psychology has become so popular... that tradition shows who 'self' is. How can one even know what sin is he doesn't know what 'self' is???
