LOVE—
The fundamental driving force behind all human relationships.
The inexpressible joy of love fulfilled, and the profound agony of love frustrated.
The empty desolation of indifference.
The glory of God.
To know God intimately is to know the love that is shared within the Godhead, binding Father, Holy Spirit and Son together as a Divine Family, forever inseparable and eternally loving. The love within the Godhead is so brilliant that it radiates outward in the Light of Christ, embracing Creation and infusing us with its benign rays.
Woefully, the Church herself has suppressed the full brilliance of this Light in the name of a false purity. She has for centuries covered the lamp of God’s love, denying the Church the ability to openly obey God’s greatest commandment, that of loving God intimately and intuitively with all our hearts, souls and minds.
Something drastic happened to the early Church that involved the tampering of its basic precepts and even the interpretation of Scripture. Lurking in the background almost from the beginning of the Church, it gained influence around the time that Constantine changed the status of the Church from a persecuted and repressed movement to a state religion.
This Christian nonfiction work addresses the root of this enormous error and its historic and ongoing debilitating effect on the Church. An alternative vision of God is presented to the reader, and its basic truth is examined in the light of Scripture, which the author embraces as inspired and inerrant in the original.
