P.1725 – §1 Soon after landing near
\n Kheresa on this eventful Sunday, Jesus and the twenty-four went a little
\n way to the north, where they spent the night in a beautiful park south
\n of Bethsaida-Julias. They were familiar with this camping place, having
\n stopped there in days gone by. Before retiring for the night, the Master
\n called his followers around him and discussed with them the plans for
\n their projected tour through Batanea and northern Galilee to the Phoenician
\n coast.

1. WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE? – P.1725
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1725 – §2 Said Jesus: "You should all recall
\n how the Psalmist spoke of these times, saying, `Why do the heathen rage
\n and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and
\n the rulers of the people take counsel together, against the Lord and against
\n his anointed, saying, Let us break the bonds of mercy asunder and let
\n us cast away the cords of love.’

 <\/p>\n

P.1725 – §3 "Today you see this fulfilled before
\n your eyes. But you shall not see the remainder of the Psalmist’s prophecy
\n fulfilled, for he entertained erroneous ideas about the Son of Man and
\n his mission on earth. My kingdom is founded on love, proclaimed in mercy,
\n and established by unselfish service. My Father does not sit in heaven
\n laughing in derision at the heathen. He is not wrathful in his great displeasure.
\n True is the promise that the Son shall have these so-called heathen (in
\n reality his ignorant and untaught brethren) for an inheritance. And I
\n will receive these gentiles with open arms of mercy and affection. All
\n this loving-kindness shall be shown the so-called heathen, notwithstanding
\n the unfortunate declaration of the record which intimates that the triumphant
\n Son `shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them to pieces like
\n a potter’s vessel.’ <\/font><\/p>\n

The Psalmist exhorted you to `serve the Lord with
\n fear’–I bid you enter into the exalted privileges of divine sonship by
\n faith; he commands you to rejoice with trembling; I bid you rejoice with
\n assurance. He says, `Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish when
\n his wrath is kindled.’ But you who have lived with me well know that anger
\n and wrath are not a part of the establishment of the kingdom of heaven
\n in the hearts of men. But the Psalmist did glimpse the true light when,
\n in finishing this exhortation, he said: `Blessed are they who put their
\n trust in this Son.’"

P.1725 – §4 Jesus continued to teach the twenty-four,
\n saying: "The heathen are not without excuse when they rage at us.
\n Because their outlook is small and narrow, they are able to concentrate
\n their energies enthusiastically. Their goal is near and more or less visible;
\n wherefore do they strive with valiant and effective execution. You who
\n have professed entrance into the kingdom of heaven are altogether too

\n take a city they lay siege to? You are hardly worthy of the kingdom when
\n your service consists so largely in an attitude of regretting the past,
\n whining over the present, and vainly hoping for the future. Why do the
\n heathen rage? Because they know not the truth. Why do you languish in
\n futile yearning? Because you obey not the truth. Cease your useless yearning

\n verily think they are doing God’s service. They have become so narrowed
\n by tradition that they are blinded by prejudice and hardened by fear.
\n Consider the Greeks, who have a science without religion, while the Jews
\n have a religion without science. And when men become thus misled into

\n of salvation is to become truth-co-ordinated–converted.

P.1726 – §2 "Let me emphatically state this

\n then seek after you that they may gain what you have so acquired. The
\n measure wherewith truth seekers are drawn to you represents the measure
\n of your truth endowment, your righteousness. The extent to which you have
\n to go with your message to the people is, in a way, the measure of your

2. THE EVANGELISTS IN CHORAZIN – P.1726
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1726 – §4 On Monday morning, May 23, Jesus directed
\n Peter to go over to Chorazin with the twelve evangelists while he, with
\n the eleven, departed for Caesarea-Philippi, going by way of the Jordan
\n to the Damascus-Capernaum road, thence northeast to the junction with
\n the road to Caesarea-Philippi, and then on into that city, where they
\n tarried and taught for two weeks. They arrived during the afternoon of
\n Tuesday, May 24.

P.1726 – §5 Peter and the evangelists sojourned in
\n Chorazin for two weeks, preaching the gospel of the kingdom to a small
\n but earnest company of believers. But they were not able to win many new
\n converts. No city of all Galilee yielded so few souls for the kingdom
\n as Chorazin. In accordance with Peter’s instructions the twelve evangelists
\n had less to say about healing–things physical–while they preached and
\n taught with increased vigor the spiritual truths of the heavenly kingdom.
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

These two weeks at Chorazin constituted a veritable baptism of adversity
\n for the twelve evangelists in that it was the most difficult and unproductive
\n period in their careers up to this time. Being thus deprived of the satisfaction
\n of winning souls for the kingdom, each of them the more earnestly and
\n honestly took stock of his own soul and its progress in the spiritual
\n paths of the new life.

P.1726 – §6 When it appeared that no more people

\n 7, called his associates together and departed for Caesarea-Philippi to
\n join Jesus and the apostles. They arrived about noontime on Wednesday
\n and spent the entire evening in rehearsing their experiences among the
\n unbelievers of Chorazin. During the discussions of this
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1727 – §0 evening Jesus made further reference
\n to the parable of the sower and taught them much about the meaning of

3. AT CAESAREA-PHILIPPI – P.1727
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1727 – §1 Although Jesus did no public work during
\n this two weeks’ sojourn near Caesarea-Philippi, the apostles held numerous
\n quiet evening meetings in the city, and many of the believers came out
\n to the camp to talk with the Master. Very few were added to the group
\n of believers as a result of this visit. Jesus talked with the apostles
\n each day, and they more clearly discerned that a new phase of the work
\n of preaching the kingdom of heaven was now beginning. They were commencing
\n to comprehend that the "kingdom of heaven is not meat and drink but
\n the realization of the spiritual joy of the acceptance of divine sonship."<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1727 – §2 The sojourn at Caesarea-Philippi was
\n a real test to the eleven apostles; it was a difficult two weeks for them
\n to live through. They were well-nigh depressed, and they missed the periodic
\n stimulation of Peter’s enthusiastic personality. In these times it was
\n truly a great and testing adventure to believe in Jesus and go forth to
\n follow after him. Though they made few converts during these two weeks,
\n they did learn much that was highly profitable from their daily conferences
\n with the Master.

P.1727 – §3 The apostles learned that the Jews were

\n exclusiveness instead of serving as signposts of spiritual guidance and
\n progress, such teachings lose their creative and life-giving power and
\n ultimately become merely preservative and fossilizing.

\n the unseen God by being first taught to love their brethren whom they
\n can see. And it was in this connection that new meaning became attached
\n to the Master’s pronouncement concerning unselfish service for one’s fellows:
\n "Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did
\n it to me."

P.1727 – §5 One of the great lessons of this sojourn
\n at Caesarea had to do with the origin of religious traditions, with the
\n grave danger of allowing a sense of sacredness to become attached to nonsacred
\n things, common ideas, or everyday events. From one conference they emerged
\n with the teaching that true religion was man’s heartfelt loyalty to his

P.1727 – §6 Jesus warned his believers that, if their
\n religious longings were only material, increasing knowledge of nature
\n would, by progressive displacement of the supposed supernatural origin
\n of things, ultimately deprive them of their faith in God. But that, if
\n their religion were spiritual, never could the progress of physical science
\n disturb their faith in eternal realities and divine values.

P.1727 – §7 They learned that, when religion is wholly

\n high purposes, dignifying it with transcendent values, inspiring it with
\n superb motives, all the while comforting the human soul with a sublime

\n existence; it releases faith and courage for daily living and unselfish
\n serving. Faith promotes spiritual vitality and righteous fruitfulness.

P.1728 – §1 On Thursday morning, June 9, after receiving
\n word regarding the progress of the kingdom brought by the messengers of
\n David from Bethsaida, this group of twenty-five teachers of truth left
\n Caesarea-Philippi to begin their journey to the Phoenician coast. They
\n passed around the marsh country, by way of Luz, to the point of junction
\n with the Magdala-Mount Lebanon trail road, thence to the crossing with
\n the road leading to Sidon, arriving there Friday afternoon.

 <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1728 – §2 While pausing for lunch under the shadow
\n of an overhanging ledge of rock, near Luz, Jesus delivered one of the
\n most remarkable addresses which his apostles ever listened to throughout
\n all their years of association with him. No sooner had they seated themselves
\n to break bread than Simon Peter asked Jesus: "Master, since the Father
\n in heaven knows all things, and since his spirit is our support in the
\n establishment of the kingdom of heaven on earth, why is it that we flee
\n from the threats of our enemies? Why do we refuse to confront the foes
\n of truth?" But before Jesus had begun to answer Peter’s question,
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

Thomas broke in, asking: "Master, I should really like to know just
\n what is wrong with the religion of our enemies at Jerusalem. What is the
\n real difference between their religion and ours? Why is it we are at such
\n diversity of belief when we all profess to serve the same God?" And
\n when Thomas had finished, Jesus said: "While I would not ignore Peter’s
\n question, knowing full well how easy it would be to misunderstand my reasons
\n for avoiding an open clash with the rulers of the Jews at just this time,
\n still it will prove more helpful to all of you if I choose rather to answer
\n Thomas’s question. And that I will proceed to do when you have finished
\n your lunch."

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1728 – §3 This memorable discourse on religion,
\n summarized and restated in modern phraseology, gave expression to the
\n following truths:
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1728 – §4 While the religions of the world have
\n a double origin–natural and revelatory–at any one time and among any
\n one people there are to be found three distinct forms of religious devotion.
\n And these three manifestations of the religious urge are:<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

P.1728 – §5 1. Primitive religion. The seminatural
\n and instinctive urge to fear mysterious energies and worship superior
\n forces, chiefly a religion of the physical nature, the religion of fear.<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1728 – §6 2. The religion of civilization. The
\n advancing religious concepts and practices of the civilizing races–the
\n religion of the mind–the intellectual theology of the authority of established
\n religious tradition.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\uc6d0\uc2dc \uc885\uad50<\/p>\n

\ubb38\uba85\ud654\ub41c \uc885\uad50<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

P.1729 – §1 The religion of the physical senses and
\n the superstitious fears of natural man, the Master refused to belittle,
\n though he deplored the fact that so much of this primitive form of worship
\n should persist in the religious forms of the more intelligent races of
\n mankind. Jesus made it clear that the great difference between the religion
\n of the mind and the religion of the spirit is that, while the former is
\n upheld by ecclesiastical authority, the latter is wholly based on human
\n experience.<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1729 – §2 And then the Master, in his hour of teaching,
\n went on to make clear these truths:<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

deplore, \ud55c\ud0c4\ud558\ub2e4 < plorare, \uc18c\ub9ac\uccd0 \uc6b8\ub2e4<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1728 – §7 3. True religion–the religion of revelation.
\n The revelation of supernatural values, a partial insight into eternal
\n realities, a glimpse of the goodness and beauty of the infinite character
\n of the Father in heaven–the religion of the spirit as demonstrated in
\n human experience.<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1729 – §3 Until the races become highly intelligent
\n and more fully civilized, there will persist many of those childlike and
\n superstitious ceremonies which are so characteristic of the evolutionary
\n religious practices of primitive and backward peoples. Until the human
\n race progresses to the level of a higher and more general recognition
\n of the realities of spiritual experience, large numbers of men and women
\n will continue to show a personal preference for those religions of authority
\n which require only intellectual assent, in contrast to the religion of
\n the spirit, which entails active participation of mind and soul in the
\n faith adventure of grappling with the rigorous realities of progressive
\n human experience.

\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1729 – §4 The acceptance of the traditional religions
\n of authority presents the easy way out for man’s urge to seek satisfaction
\n for the longings of his spiritual nature. The settled, crystallized, and
\n established religions of authority afford a ready refuge to which the
\n distracted and distraught soul of man may flee when harassed by fear and
\n tormented by uncertainty. Such a religion requires of its devotees, as
\n the price to be paid for its satisfactions and assurances, only a passive
\n and purely intellectual assent.

P.1729 – §5 And for a long time there will live on
\n earth those timid, fearful, and hesitant individuals who will prefer thus
\n to secure their religious consolations, even though, in so casting their
\n lot with the religions of authority, they compromise the sovereignty of
\n personality, debase the dignity of self-respect, and utterly surrender
\n the right to participate in that most thrilling and inspiring of all possible
\n human experiences: <\/font><\/p>\n

the personal quest for truth, the exhilaration of facing
\n the perils of intellectual discovery, the determination to explore the
\n realities of personal religious experience, the supreme satisfaction of
\n experiencing the personal triumph of the actual realization of the victory
\n of spiritual faith over intellectual doubt as it is honestly won in the
\n supreme adventure of all human existence–man seeking God, for himself
\n and as himself, and finding him.

 <\/p>\n

P.1729 – §6 The religion of the spirit means effort,
\n struggle, conflict, faith, determination, love, loyalty, and progress.
\n The religion of the mind–the theology of authority–requires little or
\n none of these exertions from its formal believers. Tradition is a safe
\n refuge and an easy path for those fearful and halfhearted souls who instinctively
\n shun the spirit struggles and mental uncertainties associated with those
\n faith voyages of daring adventure out upon the high seas of unexplored
\n truth in search for the farther shores of spiritual realities as they
\n may be discovered by the progressive human mind and experienced by the

P.1730 – §0 The appeal of all such religions is largely
\n to the mind. And now are we about to enter upon a deadly conflict with
\n such a religion since we will so shortly begin the bold proclamation of
\n a new religion–a religion which is not a religion in the present-day
\n meaning of that word, a religion that makes its chief appeal to the divine

6. THE SECOND DISCOURSE ON RELIGION – P.1730
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1730 – §5 And so, while they paused in the shade
\n of the hillside, Jesus continued to teach them regarding the religion
\n of the spirit, in substance saying:
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1730 – §6 You have come out from among those of
\n your fellows who choose to remain satisfied with a religion of mind, who
\n crave security and prefer conformity. You have elected to exchange your
\n feelings of authoritative certainty for the assurances<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1731 – §0 of the spirit of adventurous and progressive
\n faith. You have dared to protest against the grueling bondage of institutional
\n religion and to reject the authority of the traditions of record which
\n are now regarded as the word of God. Our Father did indeed speak through
\n Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea, but he did not cease to minister
\n words of truth to the world when these prophets of old made an end of
\n their utterances. My Father is no respecter of races or generations in
\n that the word of truth is vouchsafed one age and withheld from another.
\n Commit not the folly of calling that divine which is wholly human, and
\n fail not to discern the words of truth which come not through the traditional
\n oracles of supposed inspiration.

P.1731 – §1 I have called upon you to be born again,
\n to be born of the spirit. I have called you out of the darkness of authority
\n and the lethargy of tradition into the transcendent light of the realization
\n of the possibility of making for yourselves the greatest discovery possible
\n for the human soul to make–the supernal experience of finding God for
\n yourself, in yourself, and of yourself, and of doing all this as a fact
\n in your own personal experience. And so may you pass from death to life,
\n from the authority of tradition to the experience of knowing God; thus
\n will you pass from darkness to light, from a racial faith inherited to
\n a personal faith achieved by actual experience; and thereby will you progress
\n from a theology of mind handed down by your ancestors to a true religion
\n of spirit which shall be built up in your souls as an eternal endowment.

P.1731 – §2 Your religion shall change from the mere
\n intellectual belief in traditional authority to the actual experience
\n of that living faith which is able to grasp the reality of God and all
\n that relates to the divine spirit of the Father. The religion of the mind
\n ties you hopelessly to the past; the religion of the spirit consists in

P.1731 – §3 While the religion of authority may impart
\n a present feeling of settled security, you pay for such a transient satisfaction

\n My Father does not require of you as the price of entering the kingdom
\n of heaven that you should force yourself to subscribe to a belief in things
\n which are spiritually repugnant, unholy, and untruthful. It is not required
\n of you that your own sense of mercy, justice, and truth should be outraged
\n by submission to an outworn system of religious forms and ceremonies.
\n The religion of the spirit leaves you forever free to follow the truth
\n wherever the leadings of the spirit may take you. And who can judge–perhaps
\n this spirit may have something to impart to this generation which other

\n of truth. The prophet who said, "He will be kept in perfect peace

P.1732 – §2 The religions of authority can only divide

\n of the spirit will progressively draw men together and cause them to become
\n understandingly sympathetic with one another. The religions of authority
\n require of men uniformity in belief, but this is impossible of realization
\n in the present state of the world. The religion of the spirit requires
\n only unity of experience–uniformity of destiny–making full allowance
\n for diversity of belief. <\/font><\/p>\n

The religion of the spirit requires only uniformity
\n of insight, not uniformity of viewpoint and outlook. The religion of the
\n spirit does not demand uniformity of intellectual views, only unity of
\n spirit feeling. The religions of authority crystallize into lifeless creeds;
\n the religion of the spirit grows into the increasing joy and liberty of
\n ennobling deeds of loving service and merciful ministration.

P.1732 – §3 But watch, lest any of you look with

\n to the persistent and passionate search for God, and they found him as
\n no other whole race of men have ever known him since the times of Adam,
\n who knew much of this as he was himself a Son of God. My Father has not
\n failed to mark the long and untiring struggle of Israel, ever since the
\n days of Moses, to find God and to know God. <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For weary generations the
\n Jews have not ceased to toil, sweat, groan, travail, and endure the sufferings
\n and experience the sorrows of a misunderstood and despised people, all
\n in order that they might come a little nearer the discovery of the truth
\n about God. And, notwithstanding all the failures and falterings of Israel,
\n our fathers progressively, from Moses to the times of Amos and Hosea,
\n did reveal increasingly to the whole world an ever clearer and more truthful
\n picture of the eternal God. And so was the way prepared for the still
\n greater revelation of the Father which you have been called to share.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

P.1732 – §4 Never forget there is only one adventure
\n which is more satisfying and thrilling than the attempt to discover the
\n will of the living God, and that is the supreme experience of honestly
\n trying to do that divine will. And fail not to remember that the will
\n of God can be done in any earthly occupation. Some callings are not holy
\n and others secular. All things are sacred in the lives of those who are
\n spirit led; that is, subordinated to truth, ennobled by love, dominated
\n by mercy, and restrained by fairness–justice. The spirit which my Father
\n and I shall send into the world is not only the Spirit of Truth but also

P.1733 – §0 origin. Divine truth must not be discounted
\n because the channel of its bestowal is apparently human. Many of your
\n brethren have minds which accept the theory of God while they spiritually
\n fail to realize the presence of God. And that is just the reason why I
\n have so often taught you that the kingdom of heaven can best be realized
\n by acquiring the spiritual attitude of a sincere child. It is not the
\n mental immaturity of the child that I commend to you but rather the spiritual
\n simplicity of such an easy-believing and fully-trusting little one. It
\n is not so important that you should know about the fact of God as that
\n you should increasingly grow in the ability to feel the presence of God.
