I am here, Jesus.
I wish to write now on the subject of the evolution of the physical
body in relation to the Padgett messages. It is generally accepted
in your contemporary world that this evolution is a fact, as indeed
it is. You have been reluctant to sit for a message about this because
you've had trouble accepting and facing the fact that in this instance,
Mr. Padgett erred in "channeling" that the body did not
evolve. You are also troubled by the fact that I said in a previous
channeling of yours that the Padgett and Samuels messages contain
no contradictions.
Well, I did channel that idea. I was referring to the general theological
premises on which the messages of both mediums are based.
Mr. Padgett is right here beside me now, and he is saying that
at that time, there was a powerful anti-evolutionary trend in Christianity,
and he shared this view. He is saying that he regrets that in this
instance, he wasn't able to overcome his own bias and lay it aside.
But he is saying that he did not really suffer for this, since overall
his work for God was a success.
If people, as you fear, discredit the Padgett messages as a whole
because of this, that would be their choice. If it is understood
that mediumship is imperfect, it will be generally perceived by
those partial to perceiving and loving the Truth, that, this error
acknowledged, what was accomplished, with Mr. Padgett's cooperation,
was nothing short of remarkable.
Three messages were chanelled in error. They are
Aman, Aman and Amon.
While there are some followers of the Padgett Messages that read
those messages to imply that evolution is false, this is not the
view as taught by the Foundation Church
of Divine Truth, and it's ordained ministers. There has always
been an understanding that the reader should apply their soul faculties
to the process of discerning truth, and we have never held that
any mediumship is inerrant. In my own case, when I studied that
message, I concluded that the usage of the word man referred not
to the human body, but the soul, since it appears that celestials
consider the person is the soul, not the mortal container. This
is a salutary lesson in the problems of bias in mediumship.
