I am here, Jesus;
I desire to write you on the subject "How a soul must receive the divine love of the Father in order to become an inhabitant of the celestial kingdom of God and realize that immortality of which I have written you."
In the first place, it must be understood that the divine love of the Father is an entirely distinct kind of love from the love which the Father bestowed upon man at the time of His creation, and which man has possessed in a more or less condition of purity ever since that time.
This divine love was never conferred upon man as a perfect and completed gift, either at the time of his creation or since my coming to earth, but as a gift which is waiting for man's own efforts and aspirations to obtain, and without which it can never become his, although it is always close to him waiting to answer his call.
Then understanding what this love is, and that man must seek for it and what the effect upon the soul of man is, it becomes very important that man should make the obtaining of it the one great object of his aspirations and desires, for when he possesses it to a degree that makes him at-One with the Father he ceases to be a mere man and becomes of a nature of soul existence, that makes him divine with many qualities of the Father, the chief of which is of course this love, and also causes him to absolutely realize the fact of his immortality.
The Truth Concerning the Body, Spirit and Soul
I am here, Jesus;
I am here according to promise, and desire to write you on a subject that all men should be acquainted with: 'How the Divine Love enters into the soul of a man. As I have told you before, man is a creature of God, having a body, spirit and soul, and all these are necessary to make the perfect man. But these three parts of man are different in their characteristics and functions, and are separate and distinct and have qualities that are unlike in their composition, as well as in the duration of their existence.
The body, as you and all men know, has an existence which lasts only during the life of the mortal on earth and after that life ends, dissolves into its elements which no more can form the same body, either in the mortal world or in the spirit world for these elements are merely things of matter and may be and are used to form other bodies and manifestations of the material of nature - not necessarily in the form of human beings, for they enter into other forms both animal and vegetable and are so disseminated that never .....
I am here, Jesus;
I come to-night to tell you that you are in a very much better condition than you have been for sometime, and your rapport with us is so very much greater, that I feel that I should write you a message upon an important subject which is vital to the salvation of man from the sins and errors of his life on earth, and I will write a portion of what I desire to write.
Well, I will first say that there are so many men and women on the earth, who believe, or assert that they believe, that through their own efforts they can develop those soul qualities which are necessary to bring them in accord with the Soul of the Father, that I find that the task of convincing these persons of the errors of their beliefs, or assumption of beliefs, will be a very great one; and this task will not be confined to those who have given real and deep study to the mysteries of life, both on earth and thereafter, but also to a much greater number who have a kind of smattering of this supposed knowledge, which the wiser or more learned publish to the world as a result of their investigations. ....
The Birth and Life of Jesus.
Description of Birth and Life of Jesus Up to the Time of His Public Ministry
I am here, Jesus;
I want to write to you to-night about my birth and life up to the time of my public ministry. I was born in Bethlehem, as you know, in a manger, and when I was a few days old my parents took me to Egypt, in order to avoid the soldiers of Herod who were sent to destroy me, and who did kill a great number of male infants of less than two years of age.
The Bible story of my birth and the flight of my parents and the murder of the innocents, is substantially correct; and I only wish to add to it, that when my parents arrived in Bethlehem they were not compelled to seek the manger of a stable in order that I might be born on account of poverty, for they were supplied with funds and everything that was needed to make my birth comfortable for my mother; and as a matter of fact my father was not poor in the world's goods as poverty was considered in those days.
The Bible says the wise men came and brought offerings of gold and frankincense to my parents, ....
