140:5.1 From the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sermon_on_the_Mount Sermon on the Mount] to [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_180 the discourse] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_179 Last Supper], [[Jesus]] taught his followers to [[manifest]] [[fatherly]] [[love]] rather than brotherly love. Brotherly love would love your [[neighbor]] as you [[love]] yourself, and that would be adequate fulfillment of the " [[golden rule]]. " But fatherly [[affection]] would require that you should love your fellow [[mortals]] as [[Jesus]] loves you.

140:5.2 [[Jesus]] loves [[mankind]] with a [[dual]] [[affection]]. He lived on [[earth]] as a twofold [[personality]]—[[human]] and [[divine]]. As the [[Creator Son|Son of God]] he [[loves]] man with a [[fatherly]] love—he is man's [[Creator]], his [[Local Universe|universe Father]]. As the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man], [[Jesus]] loves [[mortals]] as a [[brother]]—he was truly a man among men.

140:5.3 [[Jesus]] did not [[expect]] his followers to [[achieve]] an impossible [[manifestation]] of brotherly [[love]], but he did [[expect]] them to so strive to be like [[God]]—to be [[perfect]] even as [[the Father]] in [[heaven]] is [[perfect]]—that they could begin to look upon man as [[God]] looks upon his [[creatures]] and therefore could begin to [[love]] men as God loves them—to show forth the beginnings of a [[fatherly]] [[affection]]. In the [[course]] of these exhortations to the [[twelve apostles]], Jesus sought to [[reveal]] this new [[concept]] of [[fatherly]] [[love]] as it is related to certain [[emotional]] [[attitudes]] concerned in making numerous [[environmental]] [[social]] [[adjustments]].

140:5.9 [[Experiential]] [[righteousness]] is a [[pleasure]], not a [[duty]]. [[Jesus]]' righteousness is a [[dynamic]] [[love]]—[[fatherly]]-[[brotherly]] [[affection]]. It is not the [[negative]] or thou-shalt-not type of righteousness. How could one ever [[hunger]] for something [[negative]]—something " not to do "?

140:5.15 And then [[Jesus]] went on to instruct his followers in the [[realization]] of the chief [[purpose]] of all [[human]] struggling—[[perfection]]—even [[divine]] [[attainment]].

"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5] So-called [[common sense]] or the best of [[logic]] would never suggest that [[happiness]] could be derived from [[mourning]].
