Here are the first three passages that we will be considering for this page:
FACT: Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God, The LORD our one God; and you must love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. - Deuteronomy 6:4-5
FACT:...you must love your neighbor as your self. I am The LORD. - Leviticus 19:18
FACT: No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. - 1 John 4:12Let us start with an example:
If a person goes to the Atlantic ocean, fetched some of the ocean water and puts in a bucket. Then proceeded to put the water into separate containers....
Let us consider:
Does the ocean water change with each container? Or, does each container change the ocean water?
We can conclude, from this example, that the ocean water is not changed. That is, it doesn't matter what the vessel is (metal, clay, one pint, 5 gallons), the ocean water is the same no matter what the container is.
Let us now take this example a step further by considering these passages:
FACT: ..... And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. They shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, the whole earth, and all the creeping things that creep on earth." And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him... - Genesis 1:26-27
FACT: The Lord God formed man from the dust of the earth. He blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. - Genesis 2:7
We see here that the Lord blew into man, the breath of life..... That is, He gave man His Spirit .
Now if man has the spirit of God in them, man takes on the likeness of God.
Or man is no different from God ====> Man becomes (is) God!!!!
(When I write 'MAN' I am also referring also to women, because The Lord God made Male and Female and called them 'MAN')
Remember, the Lord formed man in His own likeness - His mirror image. If it is His mirror image, therefore there is no difference between God and man.
When you consider that you are no different from God, that you are one with Our Father, through Christ, you then begin to realize that you are at one with everything not only in this world, but in the universe.
You begin to achieve Christ Consciousness.
When you realize that you are at one with everything in the universe, and that every human being you see or look at is actually you, yourself, looking back at you, (because there is ONE GOD), you begin to understand the secret of compassion.
With the secret of compassion beginning to be understood, we can now take a closer look at these two passages and see the truth in them:
FACT: Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God, The LORD our one God; and you must love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. - Deuteronomy 6:4-5
FACT:...you must love your neighbor as your self. I am The LORD. - Leviticus 19:18
FACT: "....Show me a coin." And they brought him a coin. "Whose is this likeness and signature?" He asked them. They said, "Caesar's." He told them, "Then pay Caesar what is due to Caesar, and God what is due to God." - Matthew 22:19-21
Here, The Lord is showing us by this example that we, man, have the stamp and signature of God - We bear God's likeness.
Therefore, you, who is reading this paper is the center of the universe. I, who write this paper, is the center of the universe. Our Father is the universe and the universe is contained in or is man. Therefore we and Our Father are ONE, through Christ.
Please let us not consider the error of a megalomaniac. Because a megalomaniac thinks he is a God and that is where he errs, in his thinking he is something. But in our case WE KNOW WE ARE GOD.
