The Abiding Gift of Prophecy

Confused Nature With God

After speaking of the mysteries connected with the thought processes of the body, the conclusion is drawn in the book under discussion: AGP 334.3

“The only explanation of the mysteries of the varied intellectual processes is the operation of a divine, ever-present, all-pervading Intelligence. The one explanation of nature which makes every mystery clear, is God, who both creates and maintains, who made all things and operates all things.” “The Living Temple,” p. 398.

The logical conclusion of such a premise is that this “all-pervading Intelligence” is responsible for the operation of our mind, irrespective of the purity or the impurity of the thoughts that are generated. AGP 334.4

One more brief quotation only will be given here of the pantheistic sentiments that were interwoven throughout the book which was seeking entrance into our denomination to mold its theology. Its full significance will be apparent: AGP 334.5

“Let us not forget that the sunlight is God’s smile of benediction; that the sunshine is Heaven’s light and life and glory, the true Shekinah, the real presence with which the temple needs most to be filled; that the cooling breeze is the breath of heaven, a veritable messenger of life, carrying healing on its wings.” Id., p. 412.
