THE UNKNOWN LIFE OF JESUS CHRI$T.
He has ordered the angels to record in writing the words of God for the use of his pcoplc—the laws that were given to Zoroaster in paradise."
"Wholhien art thou that carest to blaspheme our God ind sow doubt in the licarts of bclicvcrs?"
And Issa said unto them: “I do not speak of a new God, but of our licavenly Father wlio cxisted before the beginning and who will cxist after the eternal end."
-7"It is of Hin that I have taught the pcople, who like an innoccnt child cannot yet understand God by the only force of their intelligence and penetrate His divine and spiritual sublimity."
“But as a new-born child recognizes in the dark its inother's brcast, just so your people who liave bcen led in error by your erroneous doctrine and religious ceremonies have recognized instinctively their Father in the God, of whom I am the prophet."
"Thc Eternal Being says to your people through the mcdium of my mouth: You should not worship the sun for it is only a part of the world which I have created for man.'"
IO "The sun rises in order to warm you during your labors; it sets so as to give you rest which I have fixed.'"
--11--- "It is only to me and to me alone that you owe all that you possess, all that surrounds you, either above or below.'"
