Message from Luke, in The Gospel of God’s Love, on\u00a0pages 248 – 9.<\/p>\n
“I come tonight to write a message on the holy-spirit. I know that the orthodox\u00a0generally believe and classify it as a part of the “Godhead,” being one with and equal of God the Father (and not a manifestation of the Father), and hence necessarily “identical” with the Father, though having a different and distinct personality. And in\u00a0this belief and classification is included Jesus, also having a distinct personality.<\/p>\n
(Editors note: I’ve learned\u00a0that the Personality resides in the soul; God is Soul, so has a personality.\u00a0Each of God’s children has a separate\u00a0and distinct\u00a0soul. You and I, and everyone else,\u00a0are children of God, and we “individualized our personality” when we incarnated into\u00a0an embryo in our mother’s womb, and received a spirit body, at that time.)<\/p>\n
“The orthodox preachers and theological writers teach that it is a fact that these three are one, co-equal and co-existing, and that this fact is the great “mystery of God.” And that mortals should not endeavor to fathom this mystery, because the sacred things of God are His own, and it is not lawful for humans to enter into these secrets.<\/p>\n
“Well, this declaration and admonition are very wise, as mortal’s wisdom goes, and saves the expounders of these doctrines of mystery from attempting to explain what they cannot explain – because it is impossible for them to unravel that which,\u00a0in fact, has no existence.<\/p>\n
“Humans of thought all down the ages have sought to understand this great mystery, as they call it, and have been unsuccessful. As the early fathers of the church met with defeat in their endeavors to understand the mystery, and then because of such defeat declared the explanation of the doctrine to be a secret of God, not to be inquired into\u00a0by mortals, so all these other investigators of the church, when they became convinced of the futility of their search adopted the same admonition. From the beginning, this “Trinity” doctrine was declared and made the vital foundation stone of their visible church’s existence.<\/p>\n
“Of course, from time to time there arose people who, having more enlightenment than their brethren in the church, attempted to gainsay the truth of the doctrine, and declared and maintained that there was only one God – the “Father.” But they were in the minority, and not acting with the more powerful, their views were rejected.” To be continued…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
