________________ --- -- The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ And Issa said unto them: "I do not speak of a new God, but of our Heavenly Father who existed before the beginning and who will exist after the eternal end.” 7 "It is of Him that I have taught the people, who like an innocent child cannot yet understand God by the only force of their intelligence and penetrate His divine and spiritual sublimity." 8 “But as a new-born child recognizes in the dark its mother's breast, just so your people who have been led in error by your erroneous doctrine and religious ceremonies have recognized instinctively their Father in the God, of whom I am the prophet." 9 "The Eternal Being says to your people through the medium of my mouth : 'You should not worship the sun for it is only a part of the world which I have created for man." 10 "The sun rises in order to warm you during your labours; 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." 12 “But," began the priests, "how could a people live according to the laws of justice, if they had no teachers?" 13 Issa answere : "As long as the people had no priests, they were governed by natural laws and preserved the candour of their souls." 108
