THE SERPENT INTELLECT

PURITY IS THE LOVE OF ALMIGHTY GOD . COVENANT IS HIS WILL. MERCIFUL IS HIS DIVINE GRACE , A MANIFESTATION IN THE CHILD OF GRACE , CHRIST JESUS , THE SHEPPERD. BUT FREE IS THE WILL OF MAN. OBEDIENCE IS THE DUTY EXPECTANT OF HIS DILLIGENCE TOWARDS GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER. THE INTELLECT EMPLOYS THE CUNNINGNESS OF THE SERPENT, IN ORDER TO MAKE HIMSELF DOMINANT IN THE WORLD OF MATTER. MAN IS ADMONISHED TO CONTROL THE SERPENT IN HIM, THE INTELLECT.
