Conceptions of Deity.

All primary ideas of God are true, all human conceptions of him are false; their conflicting nature proves them to be so; we can form no just conception of that which we cannot fully comprehend, we can only comprehend what is inferior or less than ourselves, or what comes within the range of our powers, hence the conflicting and consequently erroneous conceptions of God put forth by all the religions of the world. Plato's discovery of a geometrizing God as every substance in the physical universe exists in a state of geometrical and mathematical precision, however beautiful and true, is but a cold conception. The Father God of Jesus is a warm and happy conception page 12 which meets with its unerring response in our inward nature; what a pity it is that his followers have so distorted its character instead of allowing it to remain in its native simplicity.
