Love instead of hatred

In the Old Testament, the Bible writers presented a god of hatred:
In the Old Testament a God is described, who knows hate, wages war, deforms, abuses, sullies and exterminates his own creatures.
Is that possible, many people ask?
Is it possible that a God who, according to the word of Christ is called a Father of Love, lets his children be slaughtered?
However, while they can no longer accept this revengeful God, the churches preach that the Holy Scripture is law and they force their followers to believe completely in the cruel Ruler of the Old Testament.
Who is now right?
Is God really as the bible writers paint him?
Was he really like that?
Was it he, who led these peoples into war, punished them and brought death and destruction amongst them?
Or have they got it by the right end, who consider it impossible that a God of Love acts so whimsically, cruelly and vindictively?
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
As a result of the damnation and the last judgement, the Bible made many people sick with fear:
All because of the bible.
The bible has made at least twenty million patients.
Bible patients.
Isn’t that terrible?
And now they are still there. Now you can ...
If only those people were rid of damnation, if only those people were rid of the last Judgement.
That God who ...
If you hear those stories, if you read those stories ...
Then a prophet is walking there with a bald head and then children shout at him.
(Gentleman in the hall): ‘Yes, that is in the Old Testament, that was the prophet Elisha. He had a bald head and then the children followed him: ‘Bald head, bald head.’
And then God had a few bears collected from the wood and they mauled twenty-two children.’

The Bible writers inflated the story of Noah into a dramatic picture:
The story of Noah, for example, who remains with his little herd, while the rest of mankind perishes, is a story exaggerated by the bible writers, the reality of which is different.
So these are very briefly the facts!
There was truly a flood, but millions of people knew nothing about it.
A third of the Earth was washed under at that time.
Only partly informed of the reality, the bible writers then gave a dramatic picture of a flood, which was said to have been unleashed by God in order to punish sinful mankind for the evil committed.
However, God had nothing to do with the whole event.
This flood was the result of the development which Mother Earth experienced.
As a result of these natural laws, natural occurrences, the human being was often forced during those times to leave to other safer places.
People met death as a result of this, however, the masses remained alive, as so many other natural disasters show.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
What the bible writers are able to tell about the animals is not true either.
If Noah had had to take along a pair of all the existing species in his ark, that thing would have gone down with all hands.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
The god of hatred from the Old Testament is human work:
Can you feel, when you read the bible and just one word comes from a God who actually hates, then you are no longer in connection with God.
Do you not understand that?
(Lady in the hall): ‘How do you say it?’
When you experience the Old Testament, where people can experience nothing else but hate and destruction, then you are not in connection with a Father of love, that is human work.
They are human thoughts.

Millions of people tremble from that god of revenge:
In the first place you will get to see God differently.
He is not that God of revenge and damnation, for whom millions of religious people tremble and shake, but he is a Father of Love.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
During a contact evening, Jozef Rulof tells a man from the hall that a number of people see God as a man with a beard:
But they mean by this, sir, a man with a beard, a god with a beard; who sits on his chair, and whom Peter consults with every day, who sits there and judges and hits the people.
Yes, that god of the Old Testament.
We say, and the masters say that too, that cad means nothing.
That is much worse.
I dare to tell that god of the Old Testament off for being a dirty cad.
And he is too.
Because that god damns there and just destroys one life and he blesses the other one.
That is not possible, people.
That god never existed.
But the bible writers did not know the God of all life.
Questions and Answers Part 4, 1952
Christ talked about God as a Father of Love:
Christ, the Divine Teacher and Prophet, fulfils his mission, he teaches people to see God as a Father of Love, gives them rules, which can take them to a higher and more spiritual conscious and points them the way to the Divine Kingdom.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
Universal love is not achieved by the sword:
Even religious people enter war with an easy conscious.
Their spirituality is still not conscious of God’s laws.
Christ said: ‘Anyone who takes up the sword, will perish by the sword.’
But those who say that they believe in his words, ignore them ...!
The ‘Thou shalt not kill’ is not understood by them either.

Christ in the All

When the first souls arrived in the All, the word ‘God’ did not yet exist:
And then, I told you that morning here, that when they entered the Divine All, again and of course the first thoughts were: “Where is God now?”
But they did not yet know God, they could not even form the word yet, that word did not even exist.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
Then the highest masters from the All gave to the masters of the seventh sphere of light which belongs to the earth, the word ‘God’ which would comprise all the life for the human being on earth:
Between the All and the seventh sphere a connection also came about.
And at a certain moment those high masters spoke:
We know how far the development on the material planet has progressed.
We have not lost contact with the Earth in anything.
Now you must start an important task.
Mankind needs a faith.
It will get to know the Creator of all life.
Do you know what we call that Supreme Power?
Listen carefully, this word tells you everything.
We will tell you the word.
God.
Do you hear it?
Again the word comes to you.
God.
God is everything which we got to know and were able to master.
God is the Supreme Power.
He is our Creator.
He is our Father and Mother.
Love everything which lives and you will get to know Him.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
The masters in the seventh sphere of light asked the first souls in the All whether or not they had met God as a human being:
But the first human being in the seventh sphere, those Masters asked questions like children of the earth: “Did you not meet any visible working there as a human being like we ourselves are?”
“No.”
“But what is the All-Mother like, the All-Source?
We are spirit, we were on earth, we built up and conquered those millions of laws of life, what is the All-Mother like then?”
And then the first Mentor said to the Masters from the seventh sphere: “Look, where do you live here?
This sphere, this heaven, this space is harmony, is justice, is light, is spirit, because you are spirit.
You are the rarefied force which influences and pushes the material forward, which has condensed the material laws, was able to build up by means of the elemental energy and finally was able to experience the space of that.
That you are ...
And were you always in harmony? – you experienced that, you had to accept that –, could you continue and could you receive a new life, a new birth?
You now know that only motherhood is the everything by means of which you could absorb this spatial consciousness into you.
This universal Divine oneness now takes you to the mental areas, to the fourth cosmic grade.
And no human being could be seen there before us.
When we entered that Divine conscious self, we could see for miles, miles, millions of years; there was no human being.
The God whom we therefore have to materialize on the earth, that is actually only: the life.
The life.”
Lectures Part 2, 1951
And then the masters in the Hereafter started to think how they would bring that God of love to earth:
And now, at that moment the Masters received – I explained to you – contact with the sixth, the fifth, the fourth, the third, the second, the first sphere and people began to sound out the earthly life of feeling.
The God of love, the source who is only harmony and justice, they had to let go of that, because that unconscious being would not be able to understand or be able to comprehend that Omnipresence.
The difficulty now to grasp the God, the space, this respect, this justice in one word would have to happen anyway.
The difficulty of giving those unconscious masses a core again, so that the human being feels clamped to the spatial self, would be able to experience the oneness with the then ‘beyond the coffin’, with thousands of laws of life and other grades of life, but would be free from that All-Source, which is love.
The Masters closed themselves off and began with the spatial meditation.
It was very certainly not so simple to take those wild, unconscious masses to an All-Source feeling and thinking.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
The masters also continue to use the word God in the books by Jozef Rulof, because the All-Source is still not known by society:
And now, if this is clear to you – I told you – you do not have that in your hands, even if you are father and mother, you are part of that Divine personality and his creations.
I continue to represent the word God and God of course, because that All-Source is not yet known.
The human being does not yet know, the masses, society, mankind, how that beginning stage was actually put together.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
In order to reach an understanding of the All-Source, people on earth first need a God, as a beginning of the spiritual development:
The very highest Master, the First Conscious, prepares himself in order to receive a new birth, in order to give the earth the Divine authority, the spatial evangelism.
That means: the laws that lie open in order to be able to gauge the core, the love, and the truth.
The human being on earth needs a God.
The human being on earth, the child of Mother Earth needs the Divine primal source.
The human being on earth must experience the Divine birth; it is only then that this humanity, those millions of children will have a grip and that life will learn to see and to accept the All-Source.
Lectures Part 1, 1950

Our divine spark

In the All, Christ realised that the All-Source manifested itself as All-Mother by means of itself and all the other life:
And then the human being was in the Divine All.
He says: ‘And where is God now?’
And God could not be found, because God was light, God was life.
But, you see, the All-Mother manifested herself by means of the human being, by means of the animal, by means of nature, by means of the flowers, by means of the planets.
Questions and Answers Part 6, 1951
There, every soul realises that there are no people living on earth, but only divine life:
There are no people and animals living on earth, no flowers and plants, that is all Divine Life.
Deceive a human being and you deceive God!
Deceive yourself and you deceive your Deity!
Follow the darkness and you darken your luminous Deity, give hatred and you suffocate your Divine love.
What do you hope to achieve now, human being of the earth?
If you have even more questions to ask, then we will answer your questions by means of the Cosmology of your Deity!
The Cosmology of Jozef Rulof Part 1, 1944
As a divine spark, we evolve by experiencing the divine foundations ‘motherhood, fatherhood and reincarnation’:
I was able to teach you that the three Divine foundations, of which mankind made: the God as Father, the God as spirit and God as son, is nothing else but: fatherhood, motherhood, reincarnation.
To be reincarnated is for the life as human being, the Divine spark, the child, the evolution, and the new following existence for that life.
Lectures Part 3, 1952
Then comes the question which words can interpret an ‘explanation at soul level’:
My sisters and brothers, God bless you.
God bless you.
That is not possible either, you see.
Words.
God cannot bless you.
You must bring that Deity, that blessing to the awakening, and you are blessing, you are always it.
God bless you, you see: words, words, words.
Now make feeling out of everything and give everything, every word now of your whole wordbook, spiritual, spatial reality.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
I tell you cosmology, cosmic systems, I bring you to the Divine core in yourself.
