From Luke, on page 110, in The Gospel of God’s Love.
Luke was saying; ” The soul of each person shows its own sins and wrong doings, and only this condition of soul determines the state of its possessor, and the destiny that its own thoughts and acts have made for it.
“Now, from what I have said, you may suppose that we are indifferent to the happiness or misery of mortals while on earth, but that is not true. Still, we realize that human’s must work out their own destiny on earth, and that we spirits cannot control that work, except as we might influence the individuals’ mind and thoughts. There are times, when mortals give way to their passions and evil ambitions, in which we cannot influence them. Even God, Himself does not attempt by His omnipotence to do so, but leaves to mortals the exercise of their own wills, and the consequences of their own acts; and this He does although many suffer, physically and mentally, who are innocent.
“But all humans live not unto themselves, but are so united in society where the acts of one must have their influence on others; and hence those who live in these societies are subject to these influences and the consequences that flow from them. It may not seem right that the innocent should suffer because of the guilty, and if the celestial spirits could prevent it, such sufferings would not take place. But they cannot so prevent the intermingling of suffering among those living in societies, for to do so they would have to interfere with the operations of the laws controlling those things, which they cannot do.
“So you see, war does not mean to high spirits what you might suppose. And while they have their sympathy and love for all children of the Father in these terrible conflicts, yet they must leave humans to the consequences of their own deeds and thoughts, and humans must do the suffering. But nevertheless, we do try to influence those who have the control and determination of those things, and our work is always to try to influence them to do that which will bring them the greatest happiness.
“We do not interest ourselves whether one belligerent nation or the other will “win” the battle, because only humans themselves decide that matter. You will understand that if we had the power to destroy sin and error, we would do so.” Amen
