The spiritual idea of God, as presented by Jesus, was
scourged in person, and its Principle was rejected. That
man was accounted a criminal who could
prove God's divine power by healing the
sick, casting out evils, spiritualizing materialistic beliefs,
and raising the dead, - those dead in trespasses and
sins, satisfied with the flesh, resting on the basis of matter,
blind to the possibilities of Spirit and its correlative
truth.
Jesus uttered things which had been "secret from the
foundation of the world," - since material knowledge
usurped the throne of the creative divine Principle, insisted
on the might of matter, the force of falsity, the insignificance
of spirit, and proclaimed an anthropomorphic God.
