Two infinite creators absurd 356:30 Does subsequent follow its antecedent? It does. Was there original self-creative sin? Then there must have been more than one creator, more than one God. 357:1 In common justice, we must admit that God will not punish man for doing what He created man 357:3 capable of doing, and knew from the outset that man would do. God is "of purer eyes than to behold evil." We sustain Truth, not by accept- 357:6 ing, but by rejecting a lie. Jesus said of personified evil, that it was "a liar, and the father of it." Truth creates neither a lie, a capacity 357:9 to lie, nor a liar. If mankind would relinquish the belief that God makes sickness, sin, and death, or makes man capable of suffering on account of this malevolent triad, 357:12 the foundations of error would be sapped and error's de- struction ensured; but if we theoretically endow mortals with the creativeness and authority of Deity, how dare we 357:15 attempt to destroy what He hath made, or even to deny that God made man evil and made evil good? Anthropomorphism History teaches that the popular and false notions 357:18 about the Divine Being and character have originated in the human mind. As there is in reality but one God, one Mind, wrong notions about God 357:21 must have originated in a false supposition, not in im- mortal Truth, and they are fading out. They are false claims, which will eventually disappear, according to the 357:24 vision of St. John in the Apocalypse. One supremacy If what opposes God is real, there must be two powers, and God is not supreme and infinite. Can 357:27 Deity be almighty, if another mighty and self-creative cause exists and sways man- kind? Has the Father "Life in Himself," as the Scrip- 357:30 tures say, and, if so, can Life, or God, dwell in evil and create it? Can matter drive Life, Spirit, hence, and so defeat omnipotence? Matter impotent 358:1 Is the woodman's axe, which destroys a tree's so-called life, superior to omnipotence? Can a leaden bullet de- 358:3 prive a man of Life, - that is, of God, who is man's Life? If God is at the mercy of matter, then matter is omnipotent. Such doctrines are "confu- 358:6 sion worse confounded." If two statements directly con- tradict each other and one is true, the other must be false. Is Science thus contradictory? Scientific and Biblical facts
