The term Sons of God is used a lot in A Course in Miracles, and some people see this when reading the first five chapters of the Urtext and just "know" this means that God DID create individuals. But what they actually "know" is a totally misinformed beginner's interpretation of the Course. The fact that the Course uses the term Sons of God is hardly a revelation. It is used throughout the Course to refer to the seemingly split-off parts of the Sonship, the ones who THINK they are separate. The Course also uses the term Son of God, singular, to describe Christ, which is perfect Oneness with God, and which is what they REALLY are. The Course is so consistent about that all the way through all three books that to ascribe any other meaning to the terms is, in a word, inept.
There are also those who contend that the Course says you should do certain things in the world. There's an early quote that says, "Listen to my voice, learn to undo error, and do something (act) to correct it." Well, what you DO is give it to the Holy Spirit, who is in the mind. It's NEVER about doing anything in the world. Never! If you're inspired to do something after you forgive, fine. But that's never the focus of the Course. To teach people otherwise is completely inaccurate. ~ Your Immortal Reality
