[2] Yes, friends, it is true that the inner conscience speaks this very angry language continuously to the one who through tricks and deceit wants to take advantage of credulous mankind, and does it also by means of his cunning worldly intellect. But such a person will finally anesthetize his conscience, which is the inner spirit of life and truth within man, and deceives more and more the people who have been made blind. (…)
[4] However, I say this to you who now for the sake of the pure truth have distanced yourself from the great deceits, because here a lot can still be made up for by the right works of love, but in the other world, where everything will be revealed, even the most secret thought of the soul, it will not do, and the deceiver and liar will have to go through the most bitter humiliations and will be loaded with more than great destroying shame in the eyes of all the righteous ones. (Book 20, chap. 4)

[1] Listen, if it is sure that God as Creator of all beings – yet different from all other beings who were created by Him – was, is and will be eternal, is it then for Him an immovable necessity to remain in that particular original center? If it is already given to man to move freely with his body in all directions and even more so with his spirit, how could God in His limitless freedom restrict Himself in that wherein He gave even His created beings full freedom? I say to you: the divine infinity has the power in everything to also move endlessly free. He therefore will also have the right to change His glory into the flesh in order to be visibly and understandably present before His created human beings as an eternal entirely perfect Man. [2] But the endless glory of God does not have the power – and can impossibly have it – to create Gods outside of Himself who are completely equal to Him. For if He would be able to do that, He would be able to create besides the one endless universe also other equally endless universes, of which any somewhat clearly thinking person can already see from a distance that this is the purest nonsense. For if the first universe is endless in all imaginable directions, then where must the second equally endless universe begin? "I dwelt from eternity in My inaccessible light out of Myself. But for the sake of mankind I have stepped out of this My center and My light in such a way that, within the same center and the same light, which was from eternity completely inaccessible even to the highest angels, I came to this earth where I am now accessible even to you men and you can bear My light." (The Great Gospel of John vol. 4/122, 6 on; also vol. 4/255, vol. 4/ 57, 13 on)
"Yet this is why I clothed Myself with a body, so that I no longer appear to you as an incomprehensible and invisible God, but as a ma with whom you can talk and associate as with your peers, and I have thereby not only made you My children in My true image, but also My friends and brothers." (GGJ vol. 10, 207:11) "I must go down for the sake of the people and nobody will prevent it; for I have only come for their sake, so that they may be redeemed." (GGJ vol. 11, 63) "I, Christ, alone am the only God! Men, angels, sovereignties and powers, in fact, all things in heaven and on earth, have always submitted to Me and shall in eternity submit to Me alone, the same as all by your standards ever so vast-seeming universes are swallowed up by the one infinite space of creation compared to which they appear like a nothing." "[1] Listen, if it is sure that God as Creator of all beings – yet different from all other beings who were created by Him – was, is and will be eternal, is it then for Him an immovable necessity to remain in that particular original center? If it is already given to man to move freely with his body in all directions and even more so with his spirit, how could God in His limitless freedom restrict Himself in that wherein He gave even His created beings full freedom?

[2] But the endless glory of God does not have the power – and can impossibly have it – to create Gods outside of Himself who are completely equal to Him. For if He would be able to do that, He would be able to create besides the one endless universe also other equally endless universes, of which any somewhat clearly thinking person can already see from a distance that this is the purest nonsense. For if the first universe is endless in all imaginable directions, then where must the second equally endless universe begin? [3] A second perfect God with the fullest endless glory is therefore quite as unimaginable as a second endless universe. And so you can clearly see that I who am now just like you walking as a Son of Man in the flesh, am not a second but only the one and the same God who I was since eternity before all created beings and also will remain in all eternity. Therefore, I cannot do anything that is contrary to My eternal glory, but everything for it. [4] If I created outside of Me two more Gods, like for instance the Son and the Holy Spirit, so that the two would be individually different from Me, then they inevitably could claim all My unlimited power, without which no God could be imagined, no more than one can imagine a second or even third endless universe that would be divided in a certain way, limiting each other. However, if this would be thinkable, then what about God’s sovereignty of which there can only be one? "[1] However, man who is gifted with an individual life-consciousness considers the endless space of creation and the unknown countless things which it contains as dumb, dead and without intelligence. Why this seems to be like that to man has a wise reason, which is that his life-consciousness must acquire the full godlike life’s independence. For that, by My will, man is completely separated from the universal life-consciousness with its endless and highest intelligence, so that the life-consciousness of man would find itself in it and by that, as if by the external revealed way, he also would develop and strengthen himself for its eternal independent existence.
[2] However, as long as man tries to acquire his life’s independence by himself he hardly has any notion that he is completely surrounded by sheer life and the highest life’s intelligence and is also – as far as his body is concerned – permeated by it. Otherwise he would in fact not exist at all. However, when he is ready for it according to God’s revealed will, because his inner spirit has completely permeated him, then the whole person is in free contact with the highest life and its enlightened intelligence in the universal infinity of God, without losing his individuality and personality by that. Then he discovers no more a dead and dumb space or dead stones, but then for him everything becomes life and light and intelligence that is aware of itself. [3] The fact that this is so is in the first place proven to you by My omniscience that has been tried by you many times. Indeed, how could I know endlessly many and all things if the space between Me – that means My individual-personal Being – and for instance the sun or another still much further distanced object, would be without life and intelligence? And secondly, it is also proven by the wisdom of a lot of people who – without leaving their place – know many things concerning something that exists on another place at a great distance and how and what happens to it, or what will happen in the future. The Trinity in God and in man (chap. NR)
"[1] Now a Pharisee came to Me and said: "Lord and Master, in Your discussion You have said to us that Your disciples who will spread Your true teaching of life and by the laying on of hands will baptize those who have actually accepted Your teaching. That means to strengthen them in the name of the Father, who is the Love, in the name of the Word, that is the Son or the wisdom of the Father, and in the name of the Holy Spirit, that is the all-capable will of the Father and the Son. [2] I think however that by that, many different points of view can easily exist which can be prevented when all those who have become believers would be baptized by Your disciples only in Your name or only in the name of the Father, because in future times those three - although the highest and holiest - denominations will probably bring people who do not have such a good understanding to believe in three separate gods, as three divine personalities. So also, the old Egyptians have in the course of time made of the ancient pure belief in only one true God a great number of gods out of the many qualities of Jehovah. After that, the blind fantasy of the people has changed it in all kinds of individually existing and specific active divine beings. They constructed temples and after that they also honored them in a special way. But at the same time they sunk away so deeply in such an unprecedented materialism that one often attributed the most common human weaknesses and perverted passions to the imagined divine personalities. [3] This could also be the case in course of time, maybe after a few centuries when even more foolish and blinder people would start to imagine three gods, only on the basis of the denominations for the supreme conceptions that were heard during baptism. Then it would certainly not take long before one will greatly worship those three imagined gods in temples that will be specifically build for them. However, if this will happen, it will not take long before the people will also start to worship Your disciples - who they came to know by name - and also their successors in the same manner, and they will pray to them in the temples that will be build for them. According to my opinion this could be prevented in the easiest and permanent way when one should only make God known under one name to the people. What do You say about that?" Jarah describing Lord's appearance:
"He loved me very much, as I love Him above all. although putwardly He is not exactly a handsome man, for He is rather short in stature and His hands are rough and caloused by work. But His head is dignified and His eyes certainly the most beautiful I have ever seen and the expressions around His mouth is very friendly, though also dignified and serious. His voice can be called truly manly and delightful; for at least to my ears it sounded more pleasant than the purest and most beautiful song." (GGJ II, 241:12) "Could it be the One in the large company Who is wearing a rose-coloured robe and over it a Greek merino overcoat of a light blue colour and certainly has the fairest (blond) hair we have ever seen on a man? [...] (Cyrenius:) [6] In short, remember that this is truly the Very Same Who on Sinai gave Moses the commandments for the people of Israel; but this people has forgotten Him and sunk again into all depravity. He has now come to raise up His people Himself and free it from all evils of the soul. [7] This is why He wars a nice rosy-red robe, namely, to indicate how much He still loves His people. But through the blue overcoat He indicates that He has come also to us heathens to make us His children. The overcoat encompasses the whole world of which we heathens are also a part." (GGJ III, 156) "From this you can conclude that if you learn to know yourself completely, you will also come to know everything outside of you, for nothing can exist outside of you which has not already been present within you. And in the whole of Infinity there cannot be anything that has not been within Me in perfect clarity from eternity.
Just as I am the primeval source and supporter of all beings, thus now my children in Me are the fundamental substance of everything that is forever filling infinity. The infinity in Me is also present in you through Me, for My children are the crowning of My eternal ideas and great plans." (Sunsets into Sunrises, chap. 45) Can anybody offend God?... Who is the true and righteous Doctor?
„I am not like a weak person who is afflicted with all kinds of passions, but I have come into this world to help all people who will believe in Me and will live and act according to My teaching. And so I am now as I was before, even before this Earth was created. I love also those people who still do not know Me and have never known Me. And also to them the gospel will be preached at the right moment. Whoever will take that at heart will receive eternal life, but whoever will not accept the gospel, will remain in the ancient judgment and the ancient death. So take care in future times that also the many dead who come to you, seeking for all kinds of help with you, will receive My teaching and will wake up in the spirit and may become alive, then by that you will really help them. I want everyone to be happy, and because I want that and have also come into this world to open the gate to eternal life for all men, I am not today like this and tomorrow different, but always the same as the Father in Heaven, who is in Me, lives, works, directs and maintains. The nature of Satan (chap. NR)
"[1] Now again, one of the Pharisees who was converted in Emmaus came forward and said: “Lord and Master, we know now well what the truth is concerning those who are possessed and who actually are the evil spirits by whom here and there the body of a human being is taken into possession. But nevertheless, in the Scripture it is explicitly spoken about the true extremely evil devils and about their prince, Satan, and at the same time it is said that Satan, who is also called Lucifer, and a countless great number of angels who chose his side, were rejected by God and were thrown into the eternal fire of Hell. [2] So it is also written that Satan in the form of a snake made the first human beings to fall, and how God has allowed him to tempt the pious Job. [3] How is it according to the new teaching with Satan and his subordinate devils? Who and where is Satan, and who and where are the devils? [4] Since it is allowed for us to understand the complete mystery of God’s Kingdom, we also must have a clear view concerning this. Therefore, would You like to be so merciful to give us an understandable explanation about this?” [5] I said: “I already have said and explained a lot about this, and My old disciples know what they can expect. But because you are still a newcomer by My side, you surely may ask what was still not made known to you. So listen. |
