Quote from andrasnm:
Jesus,
What does the "son of god" mean? How can an Eternal, Omniscient Omnipresent, immutable Spirit (God) have a son?
...or is there a "personal God" the so called christians love to quote and pray to? ..or are YOU God, in the flesh? Am I missing something?
Andras
The "Son of God" is a metaphor describing the Effect of the Cause that is so like the Cause that the Effect is indistinguishable from the Cause. Born of desire, the Son of God is a Cause equal to His Source, only He does not Cause His own Source, and does not Cause
true creation apart from the Will of the Source. The Son has sworn to always be One with the Father. There is nothing "you" can do to change that.
"Father" is a metaphor describing Source and Love in one word. "Son" describes the entirety of the Father's Creation. The Son is a Creator, like the Father, and so describes Source. But there is "neither male nor female" about the terminology. This Son - this Creation - is pure Spirit. And if it is "many" it is yet One. The Oneness of the Creation prevails, so that this Son is described as "only begotten". "God" describes All That Is. The Son of God is equal to All That Is. Therefore, there is only God, and the Son of God is That. Every attribute appropriate to the Father is appropriate to the Son, and
You are That.
"Christ" is a name for the Son that describes Him as the perfect Son of God, the Father's one creation and His happiness, forever like Himself and one with Him. Christ describes the Mind of the Son of God in uncompromised perfection. The Son of God can do things with His mind that are boggling. It is this "Son" that I described as the "Wayward" Son. "Wayward Son" can describe anyone who thinks to have a body of flesh and think it "real". Christ is the sane, right mind of the Son, sacrificing nothing. Sacrifice is laughable to Christ, for He is not about loss of power. When you "awaken" the Christ Mind, you see not with eyes of flesh. I call this kind of sight "vision".
"Jesus" is the Greek rendering of my Hebrew name, Jeshua ben Joseph. Where I abide now, I go by yet another name. I am part of the Sonship, along with you. I am one who saw the face of Christ in all my brothers and remembered God. For example, even when I was nine years old, I could look at anyone and, by looking with innocence and non-judgment, I could see a shimmering light instead...for all have the Christ light. I became so identified with Christ that I was a "man" no longer, but at one with God. I learned to say, "I am the Son of God", by teaching you to say the same about yourself. It is a truthful statement no matter who says it.
As "savior" I saw illusions and identified them for what they were. I saw the false without accepting it as true. This is how I looked at the "sick" and the "dead": not true. Salvation is for the mind, and I appeared in the form of a son of man that Christ might save "men" - my brethren - from their own illusions.
The form was needed because
you think you need an older brother who speaks authoritatively. This is the only way you allow yourself to "hear" words that can heal you. Yet Christ has come in many forms, meeting the expectations of the deluded. And yet, Christ is just as much your Mind as mine, once the illusions have been corrected in your perspectives. I became only what you must be. In this sense, I led the way, showed you a path, and invited you to follow. I made a clear distinction, still obscure to you, between the true and the false. I offered you a demonstration that it is impossible to kill God's Son, nor can his life be changed in any way by sin - seriously insane notions - malice, fear and death. Your sins are forgiven because they carry no effect at all and are but dreams. Arise with me then. Am I the Christ? Am I the Son? Oh yes, along with you.
The corrections in perspective are made by the Holy Spirit, the Answer to a mind boggling predicament I call the "ego". Whether sane or insane, the mind of God's Son is powerful. And a billion years is as a split second to such a mind. And in an instant, it can create an entire universe when joined to the Will of the Father. Anything else is "made", as in, "made up". It is not real. This is therefore a cartoon world...an illusion. Such is your universe, and such are your bodies, made by this thing called "ego" which itself is not real. And it's all happening within the Mind of the Son - and you are That. That is why "the Kingdom of God is within you". Every part contains the whole. This is too mind boggling for the "ego"...a substitute instead of the Christ Mind.
The body of "flesh" is the ego's crowning achievement, and it is everything the Son of God is not. Properly identified, the body, and the world it lives in is an "idol". The body is for separating the Son of God into a billion little pieces, such that He can no longer recognize Himself...and all this to perpetuate itself - the ego - forever. Of course, this is impossible, so it is a dream.
Now we come to the amputee. We are going to offer healing to the amputee, even though his body is an "idol", a dream, an illusion. Why would we do this? For the same reason we would not do it...it does not matter.
Many still pray to me. Yet, many still do not know how to pray, or to whom they are praying to. Even so, I am still available, I, and many others with me. Communication is instantaneous in the real world, and thought travels faster than light to every part of God's Creation. I am as close as your own breath, always.
Jesus
