Chapter 59<\/span><\/p>\n

THE FOUR FALSE GODS\u2019 REPLY TO GOD, JEHOVIH\u2019S SON.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In the names of the Son, the Father and the Holy Ghost, greeting unto Thee, God,
\nJehovih’s Son.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. In confederation assembled, we reply unto thee, with patience and mercy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. We sat not up our kingdoms for self-glorification, but righteousness and good works.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Behold, the firmament was overcast with falling a’ji, and our former Lord-doms were<\/span>
\nbroken up and gone.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And we chose our several places in uninhabited heavenly regions; therefore, we took
\nnothing from thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. We admit the goodness of thy heart and the honesty of thy purpose, but we do not
\nacknowledge thy wisdom a sufficient guide unto heavens like our own.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The wise and exalted may rise in wisdom, purity and power, by the policy of love and
\nnon-resistance and by the example of good works.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. But where such inhabitants, either on earth, or in the heavens thereof, comprise but a
\nsmall per cent of the population, they become the victims of the lawless.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And this is the reason thy followers, both on earth and in heaven, are persecuted and
\nabused.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. We admit the declension of our grades, as thou hast said; but, behold, thy emissaries
\ncarry off our highest grades.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. If thou would carry away our drujas only, we would not interdict the travel of thy
\nships in our heavenly dominions. But, as soon as thy ships come, behold, our highest
\ngrades rush for them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. For which reason, we have been obliged to prohibit thy laborers within our midsts.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Touching our slaves, of whom we have more than eighteen thousand millions,
\nwithout slavery they would do nothing in heaven, and, for the most part, would inhabit
\nmortals as vampires, familiars, demons, engrafters (re-incarnaters) and familiars.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Only by holding them as our slaves can we restrain them from these vices.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Forget not, that ere our heavenly kingdoms were established, the earth was covered
\nover in many places with oracles and temples used to consult the spirits.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. And these spirits were in darkness, holding mortals down in darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. We broke them all up, and thus cleared the earth from innumerable self-Gods and
\nself-Lords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Touching the matter of the name, Holy Ghost, have we not freedom, as well as thou,
\nto choose a name to please ourselves?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Thou hast prophesied our downfall, and yet pleadest for us to prevent it. If we are to be
\noverthrown, how, then, could we avert it; then thy prophecy would not realize truth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Nevertheless, we propose unto thee, if thou wilt renounce the Person of the Creator,
\nand style it, the Holy Ghost, we are prepared to treat with thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Otherwise, no more!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
