| THOROAH: At the same time, the [[Church]], basically the organized church, from my [[experience]], was always [[admonishing]] us to love God. They made it clear that God so loved us that he gave his only begotten son, but they did not [[preach]] to us a God that loved us and so the love aspect has been with the [[obligation]] to love God, not the [[fact]] that God loves us. We should love God because of that, rather than the fact that God just loves us. Period. | | THOROAH: At the same time, the [[Church]], basically the organized church, from my [[experience]], was always [[admonishing]] us to love God.

− | TOMAS: This is a very rational approach to [[religion,]] yes, as [[parents]] will do. "You should [[respect]] me because I have taken [[care]] of you. I brought you into this world and you should respect me for that." It demands an [[attitude]], but it is not the same as the kind of [[relationship]] between parent and child - idealized by [[Our Father]] and His children - wherein the [[love]] is obvious between the two. The laughter and the tears, the [[companion]]ability, the [[sincerity]], the [[wisdom]] of the [[parent]] and the natural trust the child places in such a wise and loving parent. The [[joy]] of the [[embrace]]. This is the kind of child-parent [[relationship]] that [[the Master]] has opted for us to employ as a depiction of the rightful inheritance of you with Our Father in heaven, that we should love him because we love him, not because we should. | + | TOMAS: This is a very rational approach to [[religion]], yes, as [[parents]] will do.

| But you need not [[disdain]] all of your [[forebearers]] for their [[perspective]] since they are also expanding in their [[awareness]] of [[Our Father]] and his relationship with his children. It is true that many [[Thought Adjusters]] are unable to do much during a [[tenure]] when the mortal remains [[unconscious]] of Its ache to activate the living, loving relationship between It, the Adjuster, and the [[mortal]] of Its indwelling. I cannot speak for the work of the Thought Adjusters in the [[Resurrection Halls]], but it has been witnessed time and time again that mortals who were asleep for the most part during their human [[life]] were awakened on the [[Mansion Worlds]] to reveal their actualization of relationship with their [[Adjusters]]. | | But you need not [[disdain]] all of your [[forebearers]] for their [[perspective]] since they are also expanding in their [[awareness]] of [[Our Father]] and his relationship with his children.
