The Attributes of God

3:0.1God is ev­ery­where pres­ent; the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther rules the cir­cle of eter­nity. But he rules in the lo­cal uni­verses in the per­sons of his Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons, even as he be­stows life through these Sons. “God has given us eter­nal life, and this life is in his Sons.” These Cre­ator Sons of God are the per­sonal ex­pres­sion of him­self in the sec­tors of time and to the chil­dren of the whirling plan­ets of the evolv­ing uni­verses of space.

3:0.2The highly per­son­al­ized Sons of God are clearly dis­cern­i­ble by the lower or­ders of cre­ated in­tel­li­gences, and so do they com­pen­sate for the in­vis­i­bil­ity of the in­fi­nite and there­fore less dis­cern­i­ble Fa­ther. The Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther are a rev­e­la­tion of an oth­er­wise in­vis­i­ble be­ing, in­vis­i­ble be­cause of the ab­so­lute­ness and in­fin­ity in­her­ent in the cir­cle of eter­nity and in the per­son­al­i­ties of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties.

3:0.3Cre­ator­ship is hardly an at­tri­bute of God; it is rather the ag­gre­gate of his act­ing na­ture. And this uni­ver­sal func­tion of cre­ator­ship is eter­nally man­i­fested as it is con­di­tioned and con­trolled by all the co-or­di­nated at­tri­butes of the in­fi­nite and di­vine re­al­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter. We sin­cerely doubt whether any one char­ac­ter­is­tic of the di­vine na­ture can be re­garded as be­ing an­te­ced­ent to the oth­ers, but if such were the case, then the cre­ator­ship na­ture of De­ity would take prece­dence over all other na­tures, ac­tiv­i­ties, and at­tri­butes. And the cre­ator­ship of De­ity cul­mi­nates in the uni­ver­sal truth of the Fa­ther­hood of God.
