Tonight let us begin with a [[discussion]] of [[fatherly]] and [[brotherly]] love. We [[touched]] upon this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-11-27-Prayer#Love last week], and many [[good]] [[ideas]] were put forth. Your [[assignment]] was to [[think]] about these, to [[read]] over the [[transcripts]] and to [[read]] [[the text]] to find [[references]] to this [[concept]]. Who would like to begin and [[share]] an [[understanding]] or a question?

Q: Welmek, I was looking through [[the book]] for [[references]] for [[fatherly]] and [[brotherly]] [[love]] and I saw a [[140:5 Fatherly and Brotherly Love|portion of a paper on fatherly and brotherly love]]. It was the [[40:5|section]] of the book where [[Jesus]] was about to give [[the twelve]] their [[ordination]], and he talked about it. Basically, I got the [[impression]] that the enactment of [[fatherly]] [[love]] is sort of like based on [[the beatitudes]] that you can find in the [[New Testament]] of the [[Bible]], only it was broken down into [[two]] parts.

The [[faith]] and the [[love]] of these beatitudes strengthen [[moral]] [[character]] and create [[happiness]]. [[Fear]] and [[anger]] weaken [[character]] and destroy [[happiness]]. This momentous [[sermon]] started out upon the note of [[happiness]]."

And then it went on from there. So I guess these are almost like "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius Confucius] say" and these are [[codes]] of living? Is that what [[the beatitudes]] are as far as getting to the [[point]] where you want to [[attain]] [[fatherly]] [[love]] in your life?

A: Yes, I would say that is what is being [[expressed]] in [[your text]]. The pursuit of [[righteousness]] and the other beatitudes that are mentioned here primarily deepen your [[God-consciousness]]; and as you deepen your God-consciousness and become more [[aware]] of [[the Father]] as a [[personal]] [[being]], it will increase your [[fatherly]] [[attitude]]. So, to the extent that the pursuit of [[the beatitudes|these beatitudes]] deepen your [[God-consciousness]], it will [[manifest]] in an increased sense of [[fatherly]] [[love]].

A: Have we said anything about [[wrath]]?

A: Have we said anything about [[wrath]]?

Q: No, but I'm just trying to [[interpret]] it into what people are inclined to [[think]], that if you do something wrong, for instance, that you're going to get [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer] and die or that your son could die or things like that. I don't [[believe]] that [[the Father]] works in that way. I would [[believe]] that we might not get what we [[pray]] for because it's not best for us. Would that be loving [[discipline]]?
