THE BOOK
CREATION BELIEFS OF JUDAISM.
From Jewish Encyclopedia.com
CREATION: --- By: Kaufmann Kohler, Emil G. Hirsch
‘The bringing into existence of the world by the act of God. Most Jewish
philosophers find in [indecipherable Hebrew verb] (Gen. i 1) ex nihilo
[indecipherable Hebrew word]. The etymological meaning of the verb
however, is “to cut out and put into shape,” (*), and thus presupposes the
use of material (*). This fact was recognized by Ibn Ezra Nahmanides,
“Moreh Nebukim, ii 30), and constitutes one of the arguments of the
problem.
Whatever may be the nature of the traditions in Genesis, and however
strong may be the presumption that they suggest the existence of an
original substance which was reshaped in accordance with the Deity’s
purposes, it is clear that the Prophets and many of the Psalms accept
without reservation the doctrine of creation from nothing by the will of a
supermundane personal God: “By the word of the Lord were the heavens
made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth,” To such a
degree has this found acceptance as the doctrine of the Synagogue that
God has come to be designated as “He who spake and the world sprang
into existence...” God is “the author of creation,” (“bereshit”) having
become the technical term for “creation”...
The belief in God as the author of creation ranks first among the
thirteen fundamentals enumerated by Maimonides. It occurs in the Yigdal,
where God is called ...., “anterior [because Himself uncreated] to all that
was created”; in the Adon ‘Olam; and it is taught in all modern Jewish
catechisms.
(*) The little word-exercise which the asterisk denotes, i.e., “to cut out and put into shape”, and ‘thus presupposes the use of material’, paints an intriguing picture in one’s mind. Given the incomprehensible scale of just one galaxy of many billions of suns in a known universe of many billions of “galaxies”, do we believe that the “Jewish catechism” centred on Creation presupposes an amount of material that would equate to the most ludicrous pile of sand, mud and general building material ever. Is that the “Jewish” meaning, and could anyone ever take that notion as possibly being valid, with a “Creator- Being” fashioning it all into star systems and galaxies? For that would tend towards also presupposing The Creator to be a physical being. Now that is so unworkable as to be laughable. Still, it’s only a word-exercise, isn’t it? The Freemasons might like the analogy. In their terminology, the Creator is the “Great Architect”.
Even though putting to death many of them, the Jewish people should nonetheless be seriously thankful for the clear-sightedness of their ancient prophets who understood ‘without reservation the doctrine of creation from nothing by the will of a supermundane personal God: “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made...”
The prophets at least kept them on track to a reasonable degree; before the Jewish race committed their greatest transgression --- against The Son of God!
Now a slightly different flavour from Chabad.ORG -----
Creation of the World. By Jacob Isaacs
The Creation
“The word of G-d brought everything into being: heaven and earth. In the beginning G-d called into existence the heaven and then earth. Within six days He shaped a world of order and beauty."
The First Day
On the first day, G-d said, “Let there be Light” – and there was Light.
[Days two to six run according to the standard Bible sequence.]
The Seventh Day
By the seventh day, everything was created and put into shape and order.
And G-d rested on the seventh day and He glorified it as a day of rest. ...
By observing the Shabbat (seventh) day, we show that we believe in God
as the Creator of the world.”
The authors of the website Chabad.ORG, whilst knowledgeable about Jewish traditions etc., from their particular perspective convey information in a very simplistic format, which is ideal to include in the overall narrative. However, the nature of this Work really requires more academic/theological input and, for Jewish contribution, the next website possesses more “theological grunt”.
Judaism 101
G-d Exists
The fact of G-d’s existence accepted almost without question. Proof is not needed, and is rarely offered. The Torah begins by stating “in the beginning, G-d created...” It does tell who G-d is or how He was created.
In general, Judaism views the existence of G-d as necessary prerequisite for the existence of the universe. The existence of the universe is sufficient proof of the existence of G-d.
G-d is One
One of the primary expressions of Jewish Faith, recited twice daily in
prayer, is the Shema, which begins, “Hear, Israel. The L-rd is our G-d. The
Lord is one.” This simple statement encompasses several different ideas.
| 1. | There is only one G-d. No other being participated in the Work of creation |
| 2. | G-d is a unity. He is a single, whole, complete indivisible entity. He cannot be divided into parts or described by attributes. Any attempt to ascribe attributes to G-d is merely man’s imperfect attempt to understand the infinite. |
| 3. | G-d is the only being to whom we should offer praise. The Shema can also be translated as “The L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd alone,” meaning that no other is our G-d, and we should not pray to any other. |
G-d is the Creator of Everything
Everything in the universe was created by G-d and only by G-d. Judaism
completely rejects the dualistic notion that evil was created by Satan or
some other deity. All comes from G-d. As Isaiah said, “I am the L-rd and
there is none else. I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and
create evil. I am the L-rd, that does all these things.” (Is. 45:6-7).
Reader, what should we make of the idea that “All comes from G-d” and that it is therefore He Who “creates evil”? That is a powerful statement from the “great prophet”, which, by the way, comfortably or conveniently fits with the Judaic doctrine: “Judaism completely rejects the dualistic notion that evil was created by Satan...” or someone, or something, else. We agree wholeheartedly that evil was not created by Satan, but neither was it created by The Almighty. Now there is a truly stupid and illogical ‘idea’. So, who creates evil? “It ain’t rocket science, people”!
Jesus declared it in very blunt terms to his Disciples and a ‘gathered crowd’. Even though we have already once noted it earlier in this Discourse, the sheer effrontery of Judaism and its seriously-flawed religious doctrine we have just examined definitely requires an appropriate response --- but not from me. No: From The Son!
“Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand. What
goes into a man’s mouth does not make him unclean.”
Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever
enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated out the bowels?
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and
these make a man unclean. For out of the heart come evil thoughts,
murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
These are what make a man unclean, but eating with unwashed hands
does not make him unclean.” (Matthew 15:11,)
Note Jesus’ warning: Evil comes out of the mouth of humans to become deed. That is the “file path” of how evil became rife on earth. We stupid humans wrought that “darkness”, which in its attractant properties, influences and affects others.
In any case would Isaiah really have said that? We are told by experts that the Book of Isaiah cannot all be attributed to him. Let’s look at Fenton’s translation of the same Scripture and note an illuminating difference. From Ode 18, Isaiah, 45:5-7:
I am the LIFE and none beside,
Except MYSELF there is no GOD;
Though you knew not, I fixed your belt!
To teach them from the rising sun,
And from where evening fades away,
That I am LIFE and none beside! ---
Who formed the Light? Created gloom?
Who Good has made? Created Bad?
Myself, the LORD, made all!
In Fenton’s translation of the same Scripture, rather than statements being declared, i.e. “I create darkness, I create evil”, the same themes are posited as questions. Despite the last sentence declaring the LORD to have “made all”, evil must surely be understood to be totally alien to all that emanates from THE LIGHT OF GOD!
Reader, it is truly wonderful to be able to clarify such an unforgivable error. What we have looked at has given us a sufficient overview of the doctrine of a “Unity of One” in Judaism, and that there was no other with GOD until the beginning of Creation. Now it’s Islam’s turn to make its case. Let’s first look at verse 6:1 and Ali’s commentary on “dualism” in monotheism.
‘Praise be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve set up equals to their Lord.a’ (6:1. M.M. Ali.)
1 a. The words that Allah is the Maker of darkness and light are directed against the dualistic doctrine of the Magian religion, which holds light and darkness to be two co-eternal principles. The religion of Islam is the purest monotheism, and thus it holds that the ultimate cause of all things is the Great Maker of the heavens and the earth. Pure monotheism holds out before man the bright hope that, as goodness is inherent in the Divine Being, it is also the goal to which creation moves on; while dualism considers the prevalence of evil to be necessary.
My commentary: Religions cannot seem to grasp the fact that the “Great Maker”, as Ali puts it, is not “the ultimate cause of all things”. All Creation certainly stems from Him, but to say thereafter that He is responsible for “all things” is absolutely wrong in our human world. That is akin to the foolish mantra of probably billions of people world-wide that: “If it’s meant to be, it will be.” Yes, the great catastrophes that are “waiting in the wings” will most certainly be, but not because The Creator Willed it from the very beginning.
No; it will be because we, through applying our human free-will attribute to every wrong thing and in every wrong direction, now must contend with the reciprocal effect or return of all those stupid wrongs. Religions, stop playing the “blame game”. You, me, them, have all contributed to the “state of the world” and all the evil that is in it. How inane it is that religious doctrines can even “tend” towards a “notion” where The Creator of all that is good and “Perfect” can also introduce “stuff” that is dark and imperfect. Ali is certainly correct in his recognition of only goodness being inherent in the Divine Being; for that we absolutely concur with.
Reader, a small but very important digression now to hear a few brief words from Imanuel exactly about “Free Will”!.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
MAN AND HIS FREE WILL
Although the explanation is already given in the words themselves, here as elsewhere man overlooks such simple things because of their utter simplicity. Instead he searches in the wrong place, thereby preventing himself from getting a clear picture of free will.
The great majority of men regard the will as something forcefully brought into being by the earthly brain when the intellect, which is bound to space and time, indicates and decrees a certain definite direction for thoughts and feelings.
However, that is not free will, but the will bound by the earthly intellect!
The confusion of these two concepts by many people brings about great errors, and erects the wall which makes recognition and understanding impossible. Then man is surprised when he comes upon gaps and contradictions and cannot find any logic in it!
The free will which alone has such an incisive effect upon actual life that it reaches far into the world beyond, and which imprints its stamp upon the soul and is able to mould it, is of quite a different nature. It is too great to be limited to things of this earth. Hence it has no connection whatever with the earthly physical body, nor with the brain. Free will is inherent in the spirit alone, in the soul of man!’
IMANUEL:
THE SON OF MAN.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
There, once more, is just a small taste of the stupendous amount of real and absolute knowledge in Imanuel’s All-Truth. In this case reader, to offer you critical knowledge that will help to steer your thinking towards where it should go. In the meantime, however, let’s get back on track with Islam’s doctrine of “God alone Who creates”. From verse 13: 16. M.M. Ali.
Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: Do you then take besides Him guardians who control no benefit or harm even for themselves? Say: Are the blind and seeing alike? Or, are darkness and light equal? Or, have they setup with Allah associates who have created creation like His, so that what is created became confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme .’
‘Allah is the creator of all things and He has charge over everything.’ (25:2. M.M. Ali.)
‘He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who had no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained it for a measure.a (25:3. M.M. Ali.)
‘And they take besides Him gods who create naught, while they themselves are created, and they control for themselves no harm nor profit, and they control not death, nor life, nor raising to life.’ (25:4. M.M. Ali.)
3a V v. 2 and 3 speak of the different kinds of the polytheistic beliefs prevailing in the world, which were all destined to be swept away by the doctrine of Divine Unity as preached by Islam.
Well, we cannot let that statement pass by without some serious commentary on it. I know we have been down this path before; nevertheless, however, the very purpose of this Work is to hopefully awaken many, but perhaps in the end only a few, to the dangerously distorted claims of so-decreed “truth” that the “big three” of monotheism sacrosanctly cling to. Despite the reality that the key really terrible and inexcusable distortions of the actual TRUTH of GOD, nonetheless, set the parameters for the far greater raft of, shall we say, lesser --- but by no means less damaging --- distortions of truth and actual knowledge about His Creation and His Divine Laws of Creation!
Reader, we hammer this theme a lot, don’t we? Well, if you hammer something long and hard enough, maybe, just maybe, it might make an impact. Of course, that depends on the free will of those who are being “hammered”, and we have just learned a few key things about that from Imanuel, haven’t we? We should stress, however, that what we are tasked to do is not preach, but to offer logically --- but brutally if necessary --- the way out of the religious mess that has already dragged humanity down into a new, dark, totally aspiritual, age.
Ali has stated that “all the polytheistic beliefs prevailing in the world” will be “swept away by the doctrine of Divine Unity as preached by Islam”. That is an incredibly bold claim. Most unfortunately for the 1.5 billion devout Muslims, it is a step too far, for it is a step into religious arrogance.
The very writings of The WILL of GOD, IMANUEL --- from which we strengthen beyond human measure the answers and solutions to the “too-many” errors “doctrinally-promulgated” by the “big three” of monotheism --- are being given to you here and now in this Ordained Work.
Reader, we sincerely hope that you, at least, can bow your head to The Almighty for the most precious gift human beings could possibly ever receive; the so-long-awaited entry of The Son of Man with all the knowledge that we could ever hope for, through which we may finally find peace of spirit on earth, and forever have “smashed out of existence” the terrible “contention of religion” that is our present lot.
To emphasise how far Islam takes its doctrine of “absolute religious correctness” that will sweep all else away, we will look at just one more Koranic verse and one more long but important analysis by M.M. Ali before we finally discover Imanuel’s Place in The “Divine” Trinity, and also His Mission which ensues from It!
‘Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, a and He is established on the Throne of Power. b He makes the night cover the day, which it pursues incessantly. And (He created) the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His command. Surely His is the creation and the command. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds! (7:54)
The standard thinking of the “big three” with regard to Creation is invariably about what is seen in the night sky. They seem not to be able to encompass in their religiosity the reality of the far greater “unseen” of Creation. In other words, in their collective and “blinkered” view, the nonetheless humanly-incomprehensible expanse of the physical universe seems to be the whole of God’s Creation -- the first and only. But, of course, it is not. Reader, you will have to wait for the later Discourse on the” Structure of Creation” to learn how vast just The World of Matter really is.
In the meantime we need to take a hard look at Ali’s commentary on verse 7:54, a and b. Ali’s analysis of 54 b is too lengthy for our immediate purpose, so we will only use what is especially relevant for the ‘single Creator’ doctrine of Islam.
‘54 a. For yuan as meaning a period, whatever period it may be, see 1:3b. The six periods of time in which the heavens and the earth are created refer in fact to the six stages in which they have grown to their present condition, In the case of the earth, these six stages are detailed in 41:9-10; see 41:10a.’
‘54 b.‘ Arsh (“Throne of Power”). .... [On] account of its eminence .... It is used
to indicate might or power and authority and dominion.
Istawa signifies, when followed by ‘ala, he had the mastery or control of a thing or
ascendancy over it....
The phrase Istawa’ala-l-‘arsh (“He is established on the Throne of Power”) is used in the holy Qur’an here and on six other occasions ... [They] will show that it is invariably used after mentioning the creation of the heavens and the earth and in relation to Divine control of His creation and the law and order to which the universe is made to submit to its great Author, as shown by ten words that follow here, His is the creation and the command. ... What is, therefore, aimed at is that after creating the universe, God has not left it to run independently of Him (*), but He it is whose command holds sway and Who regulates the affairs as He has planned them. There are many people in this age of scientific advancement who think that, though the conclusion cannot be avoided that there is a God Who created this universe, Whom they call the First or Primal Cause, yet after its creation it runs its course according to certain immutable laws, and God --- or the First Cause --- has no concern with its affairs. The Holy Qur’an does not accept this view (*) and hence, when it speaks of the creation of the heavens and the earth, it speaks also of the ‘arsh which stands for God’s control of the universe.... To make it further clear the verse is made to end with the words... blessed is Allah, the Nourisher of the world unto perfection. God has not only created it but He is also regulating its affairs to make it perfect. (*)
[There] is also a deeper reference .... to the spiritual evolution of man which is worked out under the Divine plan, and the arsh is mentioned specially in this connection, as man’s perfection does not consist in the working of the material laws which prevail in the universe (**) but in the spiritual laws which are needed for his perfection (**). The amr (affair) whose regulation is so often mentioned in connection with ‘arsh is really the spiritual kingdom, what Jesus calls the kingdom of God. The spiritual perfection of man is specially mentioned in connection with ‘arsh in 40:15: “Exalter of degrees, Lord of the ‘arsh. He makes the spirit (i.e., Divine revelation) to light by His command upon whom He pleases of His servants, that He may warn (men) of the day of Meeting.” The Lord of the ‘arsh is thus clearly stated to be the Sender of revelation to man to bring about his spiritual perfection (***). Still more clearly in the same surah, the righteous servants of God who deliver the Divine messages to men are called the bearers of the ‘arsh. .... The bearers of the ‘arsh are, in fact, bearers of the Divine message.’ (***)
(*) The Islamic doctrine which teaches that ‘God has not left Creation to run independently of Him, but that He also regulates its affairs to make it perfect’, presupposes the notion that His Creation was somehow imperfect to begin with, and therefore needs constant adjusting so that it might find perfection at some future point. Islam, or perhaps revered Koranic “scholar”, M.M. Ali: By that statement/opinion you categorically pronounce Muslim acceptance of an imperfect God who therefore “brought-into-being” a not quite perfect Creation. You cannot on the one hand continually extol the Perfection of God in your Koran and then on the other produce commentary that seriously denigrates that very Perfection! Islam --- you cannot have it both ways!
In truth, the very fact of His Perfection means that His Creation was Perfect from the beginning, and there is no further need for The Creator to concern Himself with it. Why? Imanuel tells us that there are immutable, inviolable and therefore unchangeable Laws --- The Divine Laws of Creation --- which automatically maintain sustain and govern His Creation. We have been given that analogy to help us understand the relationship of The Almighty to His Creation. Imanuel likens Creation and Its Creator to that of a painter who produces a work that, when completed, is no longer part of him. He can view it at any time but need no longer actively concern himself with it.
(**) Ali’s opinion that “man’s perfection does not consist in the working of the material laws which prevail in the universe but in the spiritual laws which are needed for his perfection”, does not take into account the total entity that is man. The fact there exists in Creation Divine Laws that operate on every level and Realm of the whole humanly-incomprehensible immensity means that the notion that they can differ because one part of Creation is material and another spiritual is illogical to begin with. That is the nature of Perfection, M.M. Ali; Perfect Laws for all Realms of a Perfect Creation from a Perfect Creator! Man must strive to perfect himself through the power of his spirit in both the earthly and the spiritual, for he is irrevocably connected to both.
(***) For this particular Discourse about Imanuel, The Spirit of Truth, Ali’s declarations with regard to the position of our ‘three-star’ asterisk in his dissertation takes on the form of almost uncanny yet precise spiritual guidance. For he states that “The Lord of the ‘arsh (remember that ‘arsh means “Throne of Power”) is the Sender of revelation to man to bring about his spiritual perfection”. Ali further quantifies this theme by declaring that “the righteous servants of God who deliver the Divine messages to men are called the bearers of the ‘arsh. .... In addition, “bearers of the ‘arsh are ... bearers of the Divine message”.
Reader, what do we think the greatest Divine message might possibly be? Well: At its highest possible level, Ali has actually presaged for Islam the arrival of the ultimate Divine Message brought by the bearer of the ‘arsh, and Who resides on that very Throne of Power --- from whence the greatest Divine Message of all can only derive from!
Let’s now once more quote from that “greatest Divine Message of all”. From out of The All-Truth of Imanuel!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
THE CREATURE THAT IS MAN
Therefore I wish to go further than I have done as yet, and explain Creation in a little more detail in order to show on which step man belongs. Indeed it is hardly possible for him to begin his ascent without knowing exactly beforehand what he is and what he can do! Once this becomes clear to him he will also finally realise what he must do!
That, however, is greatly at variance with everything he wills today! Indeed, what a difference there is!
This no longer awakens compassion in the person who is privileged to see clearly! By “seeing” I do not mean the seeing of a clairvoyant, but that of a man who possesses true knowledge! Instead of compassion and pity today only anger is engendered, anger and contempt at the stupendous presumption shown towards God, of which hundreds of thousands of conceited ones are guilty daily and hourly! Their conceit contains no grain of knowledge to justify it! It is not worth wasting a single word on it!
What I have to say from now onwards is meant for the few who, in pure humility, can still attain to a certain degree of recognition without first having to be so crushed as will soon happen in accordance with the Divine Laws, in order finally to force an entrance and prepare a fertile soil for His true Word!
Then all the empty and wordy effusions of earthly wiseacres will crumble away, together with the absolutely unfruitful soil of the present day!
It is indeed high time that this empty profusion of words, which acts like a poison upon all that strives upwards, should collapse in all its hollowness!
Hardly had I made my assertion that the Son of God and the Son of Man are two separate personalities than there appeared treatises intended to clarify in confused theological/philosophical jargon that it is not so! Without going into my arguments impartially, attempts are made to maintain the old error at all costs, even at the cost of all logical objectiveness, citing for this purpose the obscure terms of the existing dogma! They stubbornly rely upon single sentences out of ancient manuscripts to the exclusion of all independent thought; thus making it a condition (which is never expressed in words) that hearers and readers must not think, much less sense intuitively! For otherwise it would be quickly recognised that nothing is explained by this multitude of words, because whichever way they are examined it remains impossible to draw the right inference! But it is still more obvious that this verbosity lacks all connection with actual events!
He who finally succeeds in opening his eyes and ears in these matters must without difficulty recognise the emptiness of such “apologia”! It is but a last convulsive clinging (one can no longer call it real adherence) what has hitherto been their support, which will soon prove to be useless!
The only foundation for their arguments is comprised of sentences, the correct transmission of which cannot be proved. On the contrary, it is impossible to logically fit them into the course of world events, thereby clearly showing that their sense has been distorted by the human brain in the course of transmission. Not one of these sentences can be assimilated with the chain of events and man’s intuitive perception without leaving a gap. ...
It is with a shudder that I turn away from all the believers and from all those who in their false humility think they know better, who do not recognise a simple truth but even smile indulgently at it and want to correct it! How quickly will just these persons become little, so very little, and lose every support, although in fact neither in their faith nor in their knowledge do they have such! They will be permitted to walk upon the road which they so persistently desire, but upon which they can no longer return to life! The right to choose has never been denied them!
Those who have followed me so far know that man originates in the highest sphere of Creation, in the Spiritual Sphere. But there are still many differences to be noted in the Realm of the Spiritual. Man on earth, who audaciously considers himself great, who often does not shrink from dragging his God down by regarding Him merely as the highest on that step to which he himself belongs, who sometimes even ventures to deny or revile Him, man in reality is not even that which many a humble soul imagines himself to be in all good faith! Man on earth is not a created being, but merely a developed being! That is a difference which man is unable to perceive, and which he will never be able to survey freely!
Beautiful and agreeable to many are the words which numerous teachers utter in their efforts to increase the number of their adherents! Yet these ignorant teachers are themselves convinced that all the errors they spread abroad are the truth, and do not realise what great harm they do to mankind!
Only certainty about the answer to that great question “What am I” can lead to ascent! If the significance of this question has not been completely recognised and the solution found beforehand ascent will become bitterly difficult! For men do not voluntarily submit themselves to that humbleness which will help them on to the right path on which they can really progress! That has been clearly proved by all the past events right up to the present time!
Even in their efforts to be humble these men either turned themselves into slaves, which is just as wrong as being presumptuous, or reached far beyond their actual goal, placing themselves upon a road the end of which they can never reach, because the nature of their spirits does not suffice for this! As they aspired to what is too exalted for them they will now fall headlong into the depths, which will destroy them! .....
Were I now to indicate all the divisions of Creation, many a man who today considers he is great would prostrate himself in despair on recognising that such words contain the Truth, crushed by the realisation of his own emptiness and insignificance! The frequently used expression “earth-worm” is justified when applied to those who today still boast of their cleverness and “spiritual superiority”, but who soon, very soon, will be made the lowest in all Creation if, indeed, they are not numbered among those who are rejected! .....
IMANUEL:
THE SON OF MAN.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Reader: Do you sense or feel the sheer simplicity yet understated Spiritual Power in Imanuel’s explanations? His reference to “all the divisions of Creation” should help you to the realisation that what we have been proclaiming about Him is stark reality: Stated earlier on in this Discourse HE, IMANUEL, is --------
THE “CREATIVE” WILL OF GOD!
Thus:
“He was with GOD in the beginning. Through
Him all things came into being and not one
thing came into being except through Him.”
We can try to give all the elucidatory “stuff” to the questions and problems of religion and human life “ad nauseum”, but we cannot hope to offer --- out of our human selves ---- even the tiniest fraction of real knowledge and logic that is inherent in Divine “Knowing”. However, if we can now grasp the fact that that “Highest reality” is now in written form on earth, and by “His Own Hand”; then what else should we do except embrace It --- as though our very life depended on it. And do you know what -- it actually does!
Imanuel has pointed out that because The Son of God came to a race of people who, for the most part, were illiterate, Jesus could not use the written word to disseminate The Truth of Divine Law across the land. The Teachings of Jesus had therefore to be in the form of ‘parables’. Unfortunately, without any written record left by Him, and despite perhaps the best efforts of His Disciples and other chroniclers of the time, the inevitable result is the present-day ‘mish- mash’ of thousands of different interpretations and translations that supposedly come from the same book –-- the Bible!
Therefore, the time on earth of Imanuel as The Spirit of Truth and The Son of Man; is now forever anchored by His Written Word --- In The Light Of Truth! That means it cannot ever be altered, sanitised or otherwise tampered with and/or distorted. That means, IT cannot be denied! Without that Absolute as the “Divine Rock” upon which this Work derives its Mandate and Source of Knowledge, no author would dare to assert, declare and proclaim what we have thus far written, and we have a long way to go yet!
So, let’s continue. On the subject of God alone creating or Another with Him thus finally leading to a Trinity, perhaps a really simple point has been missed here. The fact that we can state the Lord God to be One actually does not detract in any way whatsoever from a Trinity or Triune God when The Two Sons are an inseparable PART of GOD in the first place!
In any case, it really doesn’t matter what we may attempt to explain in this Work, or what Muslims, Christians and Jews claim, preach or deny: In the absolute and final analysis, a terrible indictment now lies over mankind with the arrival in the 20th century of the All-Truth and The Will of God --- Imanuel. That such a stupendous and almost indescribable happening --- EVENT --- could be missed by so many is difficult to understand, for it has been signalled for exactly this time, when man cannot find real answers to his increasingly desperate world-situation. HE --- The Spirit of Truth --- truly did come as prophesied, and left for us exactly the knowledge, thus the tools, to change our foolish and arrogant ways.
We will now show the fact of His arrival to be fact. Please, then, disbelievers; have the inner greatness to embrace the Pure Truth from GOD Whom at least some of you probably profess to follow, and perhaps even Worship.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Now let’s really find out about IMANUEL as THE “CREATIVE” WILL
OF GOD and His place in:
THE TRINITY!
In the context of the subject matter at hand, the following “Major Section” of this Discourse will feature verse and commentary from the “big three” of monotheism. In addition, from relevant Texts of Imanuel’s “All-Truth”, you will learn much more from that wondrous Source!
