BIBLE VERSES

COMPANY OF THE GODS, OR THE GODS OF HEAVEN

A symbol of the activities on the higher planes; or the Divine attributes, that is, the ideals and highest qualities within the soul, harmoniously coordinated on the buddhic plane, and expressing the will of the Supreme.

“We maintain that God’s attributes are intelligible and that we can conceive as truly of his goodness and justice, as of these qualities in men. In fact, these qualities are essentially the same in God and man, though differing in degree, in purity, and in extent of operation. We know not, and we cannot conceive of any other justice and goodness, than we learn from our own nature; and if God have not these, he is altogether unknown to us as a moral being; he offers nothing for esteem and love to rest upon.” — W. E. Channing, *Against Calvinism*.
