THE [[Light|LIGHT]] OF [[God|GOD]] [[Surround|SURROUNDS]] US. THE [[LOVE]] OF GOD ENFOLDS US. THE [[Power|POWER]] OF GOD PROTECTS US. THE [[Presence|PRESENCE]] OF GOD WATCHES OVER US. WHEREVER WE ARE HE IS.

Mel: There is a [[question]] I'd like to ask about the [[adversity]] we [[experience]] in our life. What is the main [[purpose]] for the adversity?

Mel: There is a [[question]] I'd like to ask about the [[adversity]] we [[experience]] in our life. What is the main [[purpose]] for the adversity?

Abraham: This is a broad question, and I can only answer in broad terms. [[Adversity]] creates or rather requires [[reaction]]. This reaction builds [[strength]] and [[stamina]] in [[character]]. Each person [[experiences]] adversity for this [[purpose]]. If life were easy and [[blissful]] [[decisions]], hard decisions, would not be forced to be made. These [[essential]] [[decisions]] must be made in order for there to be [[soul]] strengthening. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_sower parable of the sower] we see that some [[seeds]] [[sprout]] readily and grow tall quickly, soon to be withered in the [[sun]], not having the requisite [[strength]], [[fortitude]] to withstand [[vicissitude]]. Each [[person]] is like a [[plant]], the good gardener, the [[Thought Adjuster]] who directs the tilling of your [[soil]], the fertilization of your [[roots]], the rain to fall, the [[wind]] to blow, the [[sun]] to shine. All this is done through the [[action]] of [[angels]] among others, and He sees to it that His beloved [[child]] [[receives]] what is needful for the best [[growth]] of his soul. [[Adversity]], even [[calamity]] can be part of nurturing [[process]]. The [[blessing]] of these seeming [[calamities]] may only be seen through hindsight and are not [[apparent]] to the growing [[seed]] child.

The [[good]] [[parent]] ensures proper [[medicine]] for any illness, proper [[exercise]], to [[grow]], to maintain [[robust]] [[health]]. Each child requires differing remedies and different [[exercise]]. By exercise I am referring to robust life [[activity]], [[mental]] and [[physical]]. In order to meet the [[challenges]] of life each [[person]] must have experienced a certain hardship [[factor]], and in knowing that past hardships has been overcome [[strengthens]] the [[mind]], [[soul]] for [[future]] hardship, or mind [[conflict]], which also must be grappled with. This 'can do' [[attitude]] is important and cannot [[develop]] without having done. Therefore, [[adversity]], small and great, befalls us all, and must be overcome and grappled with [[individually]] in order to build a strong and [[reliable]] [[soul]]. Does that answer? (Yes, thank you).

There are many things written in the [[Bible]] which are very uplifting, and many passages, whole [[books]] which are very down casting. In my day, before the [[Bible]] was [[written]] or complied, there was very little [[writing]]. We relied on verbal [[messages]] practically completely. [[Traditions]] and new teachings were kept within the [[mind]] of the people or [[person]] [[learning]]. Each [[person]] learned slightly [[differently]] from every other, and his personal slant or [[interpretation]] on a direct teaching colored it forever.

These people, which were taught by [[Melchizedek]], went forward into the world and passed this [[knowledge]] on as purely as possible until they died. They were [[admonished]] to [[train]] at least [[ten]] [[individuals]] of the younger [[generation]] as succinctly as they could - these same teachings, and they each - ten and so forth. You can see within just a few [[generations]] the teachings would spread, but in the [[process]] be diluted and become mixed with other [[beliefs]] held by people. The main [[method]] for [[seed]] teaching of “[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Epoch_III salvation through faith]' was practically lost in many parts of the world, but remains strongest near the [[center]] of the [[Melchizedek]] bestowal - [[Palestine]], and especially the “[[Monotheism|one God]]' [[concept]].

The [[Monotheism|one God]] concept has remained strong through [[Christianity]] and is generally [[accepted]] throughout the world. One God for all peoples is today a basic [[concept]] in most religious [[understanding]]. We [[wish]] now to extend this concept of “one God' for all peoples of the [[earth]] to “one God' for [[Paper 49 - The Inhabited Worlds|all worlds]]. The [[concept]] of [[God]] over the [[earth]] is limited and [[anthropomorphized]]. The concept of “[[Paper 49 - The Inhabited Worlds|God for all worlds]],” “all [[space]]”, “for all [[time]]” is [[infinite]] and [[eternal]]. The [[concept]] of the “[[Infinite]]” is partial and fragmentary at best in your state of [[being]], but the attempt of [[understanding]] of this [[intense]] [[concept]] is, in itself - [[emerging]].
