PREPARATION BOOK: The Spirit of Truth, chapter 12, The new era

 

Specific Objectives 

Develop the real meaning of the word divine that is manifested by the Natural Laws.

 

WORD AND TRADITION

Religions give the word a divine character and consider religious texts as the Word of God. But it is clear that God, the absolute Being, does not need the means for communication we need. (…) On the other hand,  we say that the word is creative. Therefore it is believed that God created the world through words. It is an allegory, a simple image, but churches require that we accept this image as reality. (JHPires)
