In The Beginning Quotes

“In the beginning was the word and the word was love and love was imagination. When love takes us through the sun-dappled garden of our imagination, no stalking horses can perturb the rainbow in our mind or fade out its bright colors reflecting in the blue sky of our memory. ("Alpha and Omega")”

“The divine order of human society from primeval days was based upon certain rights conveyed by the Creator. The right of position, next to God; the right to procreate, in order to be in charge; the right to procure, in order to survive. These rights of necessity required man to maintain a meaningful and submissive relation to God who bestowed them.”

“Before the beginning of the world, the triune God existed as Father, Son, and Spirit -- existing as three persons, yet one essence. Before there was an earth, before there was a cosmos, before there was anything, there was the triune God existing in this circular relationship between each person of the Godhead. He is perfectly happy, perfectly content, and perfectly together. When God creates, what is the purpose of creation? What is the purpose of making people? Why is God speaking with them and walking in the garden with them? He is increasing the circle. This is how God made the world; he enlarged the circle. Adam and Eve were in paradise because they were in the circle of God's love.”

“Pada mulanya hanya ada dua entitas. yaitu X dan Y. Keduanya adalah rekan yang berbeda total walaupun saling mengakui satu sama lain. X selalu berkata bahwa dirinyalah ‘isi’ dan rekannya Y adalah ‘hampa’. Sebaliknya Y juga berkata bahwa dirinyalah ‘isi’ dan rekannya X adalah ‘hampa’. Mereka saling meng-klaim bahwa dirinyalah ‘isi’ dan rekannya adalah ‘hampa’. Tak satupun dari mereka yang bersedia untuk disebut ‘hampa’. Mereka terus berargumentasi dan akhirnya sadar bahwa sebenarnya tidak ada yang bisa mereka jadikan sebagai acuan untuk menetapkan siapa sebenarnya yang ‘isi’ dan siapa sebenarnya yang ‘hampa’. Sebab yang ada cuma mereka berdua saja, X dan Y.”
