ORIGINAL MANHOOD

Harold Molter

God is original good. He is the first and only cause, and therefore, He is self-existent. God's creation, including man, His perfect likeness, has existed forever in God, divine Mind. Man was never born and can never die. He is coexistent and coeternal with God. Man originates in God and is subject to no limitations.

Mankind generally has not accepted this description of man. It accepts the myth of Adam as presenting the origin of man. It declares that Adam was derived from dust or clay. The Adam man and his descendants are not original, for they are not in the image and likeness of God, Spirit. They are the derivatives of a myth!

Jesus came to demonstrate original manhood. His true selfhood, the Christ, was not subject to birth or death, but was inseparable from God and dwells eternally in divine Mind. Throughout his earthly career Jesus demonstrated the spiritual fact presented in the first chapter of Genesis, namely that God gave man dominion or the absolute power to reflect Him. Through the understanding of the Christ, the Master demonstrated his original selfhood and the nothingness of mortality, with all of its erroneous concepts and beliefs.
