Faithlessness - Words used in A Course in Miracles
Faithlessness would always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and make whole. Faithlessness would destroy and separate; faith would unite and heal. Faithlessness would interpose illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that seem to rise between them. … Both cannot be together, nor perceived in the same place. T-19.I.5:3-5,9.
Faithlessness
brought to faith will never interfere with truth. But
faithlessness used against truth will always destroy faith. ... Only
what you
have not given can be lacking in any situation. T-17.VII.3:9,10/4:1.
Faithlessness
is the servant of illusion, and wholly faithful to its master. Use
it, and it will carry you straight to illusions. ... Accept not the illusion of peace it offers,
but look upon its offering and recognize it is illusion. T-17.VII.5:5,6,9.
The
goal of illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to
truth. If you lack faith in anyone
to fulfill, and perfectly, his part in any situation dedicated in
advance to truth, your dedication is divided. And so you have
been faithless to your brother, and used your faithlessness against
him. T-17.VII.6:1-3.
You
do not use anything your brother has done before to condemn him now.
You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking past all barriers
between yourself and him, and seeing them as one. And in that one you
see your faith is fully justified. There is no justification for
faithlessness, but faith is always justified. T-19.I.9:4-7.
