The bible also states clearly that even if an angel come from the sky with another gospel besides the existent one, that him be condemned.

So, one has the choice of believe in the Bible, or in whatever books one wish, but not in both, cause they contradict one another.

And dont forget that devil's greatest trick is make people think he doesnt even exist...

I dont think its an inconsistency... God loves us all, but He allows each one the choice of loving Him back or leaving Him. The ones who choose to leave Him will be left outside the heaven, to enjoy the hell they created themselves for themselves, after living a life of evil.
We are already enjoying the hell we have created now thinking we are separate from God. Yet are we in Heaven. The only choice to be made is to continue to search for salvation in idols which will always fail us, or forgive completely your brother and your self and know that Heaven is here. The belief in a devil has caused man to distrust his brother, who is everyone you see. Heaven is not attained through good deeds. Forgiveness is the only way and that is what Jesus taught who was the embodiment of God's forgiveness. Had God allowed his Son (everyone) to leave Him and to be lost to hell, that choice was by man made long ago. Yet God did not abandon us then or ever. We think God is vengeful like us, yet he sent His Son to teach us to forgive each other. The Bible tells us to forgive and that is all ACIM teaches as well. Its completely consistent and it is not another gospel. Its like a course you would take in college to learn something difficult. Thanks, MH
