The teaching of the trinity of God.
11. November 1948. B.D. NR. 4484.
You have the gift of being able to use your intellect, and are to also use this gift. In earthly respect life forces you to do it, and you follow this compulsion without reluctance. It is for you a matter of course that you think about everything what comes in touch with you, that you research and ponder and therefore intellectually enrich yourselves of earthly knowledge. But little or not at all you use the intellect to acquire spiritual knowledge for yourselves out of inner drive. You certainly let yourselves be brought to you such from outside and accept it, without having activated your intellect, without checking or to think about it. You do not ponder over it with the mind, and therefore you make no use of it, or you abuse it, by letting it become active to completely wrong deductions, because you accept received spiritual material without examination. He, who gave you the intellect, also calls you to account thereon, how you have used it. Innumerable men walk along in error, because they do not think about teachings, which should cause them to examination, because they are simply unacceptable in that form, as they are offered to men.
You indeed reject every examination with the reference that you as man are not able to pass right judgement, and are right insofar that your intellect alone is not sufficient for it. But again and again it must be set against it that the enlightenment through the spirit can be requested at any time and also must be requested, to solve most difficult problems truthfully, and that God will never refuse his help to the seriously wanting person. And so it is also possible to man, to acquire enlightenment to questions, which the intellect alone cannot answer. But the more it is necessary to then ask God for support, when man himself feels unable to judge right. This is more advisable than to accept teachings, which appear to man to be difficult to accept, because what a man wants to support as truth, that must also be explained to him completely, why the instructions from above are supplied to earth continuously, which bring light into the darkness of spirit. And it is dark everywhere, where truth is driven out or veiled, where wrong doctrines are spread and are supported by men as truth. And this darkness is to be broken through by light – lie and error are to be driven out by truth; it is to be uncovered where men are instructed wrongly, because only truth leads to eternal life and because only truth is divine, but wrong doctrines oppose God.
And so it is necessary to illuminate a teaching, confused and completely deformed by the enemy of souls, which has gained entrance among men, and indeed therefore, because these do not use the gift of the intellect and accepted without examination, what was offered to them: the teaching of the trinity of God. This teaching is completely incomprehensible, i.e., not to be grasped and to be comprehended intellectually; it is an explanation of the eternal divinity, which for that reason is unacceptable, because it is absurd, therefore man, if he declares his support for it, is no longer allowed to think, or, if he thinks about it, cannot declare his support for it.
(12.11.1948) Wanting to bring the eternal divinity into a closely limited form is a sign of imperfection of men, who accept this teaching. Every form is a closely limited idea, but the nature of God is unlimited, because it is something extremely perfect. So something utmost perfect is also not devisable, because perfection is a state of the spiritual, but something spiritual can never experience a tri-partition – therefore one can never speak of a tri-personal God, because that is an unthinkable idea, which leads to completely wrong opinions about the nature of God.
God father – God son – and God holy spirit – these ideas do not justify the assumption that three persons unite themselves as eternal divinity, therefore these three form one God, whereas the entity of God can be made comprehensible to men through these three ideas , when "father" as love, "son" as wisdom and "spirit" as power are explained. And this is also the alone right explanation, on which the teaching of the trinity of God is based, however in wrong interpretation the incorrect teaching had come into being in the lack of understanding of it, that three persons are contained in one divinity. The spirit of God, the partial idea of the entity of God, is never to be personified; according to human ideas it is not to be brought into a form; it is an infinite fullness of light and power, which is directed and used by an extremely strong love will. Light is God – power is God – and the love will is God – not one is without the other, all the divine includes this tri-ality in itself, it is the sign of perfection, so love, wisdom and power possess a being, and it has then become the image of God. But it is always only one being – no form, but something infinite, spiritual, which needs no form to be, and which would put all forms out of proportion, if these would not have spiritualized themselves before, that it can hold love, wisdom and power in fullness, without perishing.
Such a form was the man Jesus, who was chosen by God to be bearer of the whole fullness of love, wisdom and power, to serve men as conceivable divinity, so that they can believe in a being, which, standing in highest perfection, still stands in connection with imperfect men, his creatures. But this form was only earthly; as it were it was only at the disposal to those seeing with bodily eyes, because the spirit needs no form to still be able to be seen – the idea: father, son and holy spirit as three separate beings – even so under the addition: they are one – is misleading, because then men are in danger to make a separation, by them calling every person individually and in this way strengthening the awareness of three persons, therefore lose the right, truthful feeling for one God, to whom alone they are to turn in every earthly and spiritual trouble. Even the man Jesus, who walked on earth as individual being, to receive God in all fullness in himself, became one with him, to what his ascension attested, because the body had completely spiritualized itself and all substances could join the eternal divinity and consequently no longer two separate beings existed, which were perfect, (12.11.1948), but it was only one divinity, which was love, wisdom and power in highest perfection. God father, God son and his spirit, which fills the whole of infinity, through which everything is carried out, what his will determines. It is that being of eternal divinity, which is marked through these ideas father, son and holy spirit. Wisdom – the son – emerges from the father of love, the power flowing through all works what the father and the son decide. God is almighty and extremely wise and loving. This idea is more understandable and solves the problem of the tri-united divinity the most simple way, and only spiritual blind men cannot grasp or acknowledge this simple solution, because they are misled through spiritual blind leaders, who are unenlightened and also do not let themselves be instructed. Amen. B.D. NR. 4484.
