− | 3:6.6 Does the [[Paradise]] [[Father]] suffer? I do not know. The [[Creator Sons]] most certainly can and sometimes do, even as do [[mortals]]. The [[Eternal Son]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]] suffer in a modified sense. I think the Universal Father does, but I cannot [[understand]] how; perhaps through the [[personality]] [[circuit]] or through the individuality of the [[Thought Adjusters]] and other bestowals of his eternal nature. He has said of the mortal races, "In all your afflictions I am afflicted."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.63] He unquestionably [[experiences]] a [[fatherly]] and [[Sympathy|sympathetic]] [[understanding]]; he may truly suffer, but I do not comprehend the [[nature]] thereof. | + | 3:6.6 Does the [[Paradise]] [[Father]] suffer?
