Continuation of previous Blog, from Jesus;
“Because of human’s great gift of free will, truth itself – even with all the power and knowledge of the Father back of it – will not compell a person to accept it against their will. And hence, as people are fallible, and think and believe according to their finite mental faculties, convince themselves that a certain thing is or is not true, they will not be willing to surrender these convictions until truth shall come to them in such a way as to pursuade them of its reality. And as humans differ so much in the operations of their minds and reasoning faculties, there will necessarily be great divisions among them as to what is and what is not true; and hence there will arise disputes and hatred and even wars among them in maintaining their respective beliefs and opinions as to what is truth.
“While these feelings of discord must necessarily follow the advent of truth, yet I did not come for the purpose of bringing a “sword,” but for the purpose of showing humans what the truths are and wanting to cause harmony and belief in these truths. Never is hatred nor discord nor war among humans justified, no matter what the cause.
“Truth is, of itself, a thing apart, and admits of no variations or modifications, and hence, the minds of humans must eventually submit to and embrace the truth – it will never accomodate itself to the beliefs of mortals. One is fixed and unchangable, and the other is always changable, and until founded on a knowledge of the truth, will at some time or other have to change. In the end, truth will be established in the hearts and minds of humans, so that harmony and peace shall reign in all God’s universe.
“Error does not exist in the world because God created it or permitted it to exist, but soley because there belongs to humans an unrestricted will, which controls and influences their thoughts and acts, and which in turn is influenced by the desires and appetites of the mortal. I know it is said that if God did not permit evil to exist in the world, there would be no possibility for humans to create evil. This is saying that if humans did not have free will, they would commit no sin; but we, human beings, do have free will.” To be continued…
