incarnation doctrine=At the back of all phenomena there is one existence which is eternal, immortal and without a second. This is the truth which we can never afford to forget. We have to remember it all the time, and if there is any doctrine which conflicts with this truth, it is to be taken as a preliminary doctrine and not as truth of the highest type. The highest truth is that there is nothing but God, who is consciousness absolute, without any attributes, above all subject-object relationship, the one existence, consciousness and truth, or bliss; He alone exists and nothing else. There are not two existences, not two ultimate principles, but only one ultimate principle. This is the highest truth and there is no truth beyond this truth. When the mind realizes this truth then it becomes no-mind, that is, it becomes God. When the mind has become God, then the final problem of life has been solved, then all the knots of the heart have been pierced, all doubts have been dissolved and one great inundation of light floods the soul. This is the background to the philosophy of religions Even the crudest of religions gives some explanation as to the origin of the world, as to its purpose, its maintenance and its final destiny. Man is included in the world. When people have understood what man is, they will have understood what the world really is, and when they have understood what the world is they will also understand what man is. Apart from man, the world consists of time, space and the law of cause and effect.God, or Truth, is not to be sought in this world, but He is to be sought in the element which is more than the world, which existed before the creation of the world and which will continue to prevail when the solar systems have collapsed and have become dirt and dust, when the earth and all the satellites of the solar luminary have been reduced to nothingness; even then the Father in Heaven will continue to rule as He rules today.This is the basis of philosophy, a belief in the non-dual principle. It is not only a matter of faith, but by cogent logical and discursive reasoning this doctrine can be established. It does not fight shy of scepticism, materialism and other systems of pseudo-philosophy.If there are any who can understand this truth, the identity of the localized spirit in man with the supreme and absolute spirit, he needs no prayers and no rituals,When we find this hard to understand, to realize, then we need the subsidiary doctrine, and not otherwise. when our mind is tranquillized and purified of all desires, good and evil, both, and is completely detached from anything in the world,
it is then and only then that the infinite spirit reflects itself in the intelligence and the intelligence is borne up and the finite is absorbed in the infinite. This is the holy doctrine, the basis of each and every great religion.Take the case of Christh, He did not evolve, was never ignorant but came independent of any reason: the divine ray descended, created that particular body, created that particular mind and dwelt in it, all-perfect in knowledge, in morality and in power, and this is what we call a permanent Incarnation of God.It is believed that the body of Christ was not like our body; it was the divine body, it was the divine mind, and the spirit in Him was ever enlightened. We hope to be enlightened one day by His grace, but He was ever enlightened and He descended directly from the primordial source of consciousness. A man today is bound but he will one day be freed by his own exertion. An Incarnation is never bound and He is not freed by his own exertion. He is perfect in every possible way and there is no sin in Him, and He is not influenced by any of His actions. This is called Incarnation.It is an act of supreme sacrifice on the part of the divine to appear as man. People remember only one sacrifice, the sacrifice which Christ made on the Cross, but that was the last sacrifice. There was a sacrifice greater than that: it was the eternal, immutable, infinite, incarnating in the body.

Answer 3

Having a human body is a temporary assignment to the spirit soul. So it is having an animal, aquatic or plant body. When we (spirit souls) come to this material world we take shelter of a body and the senses are the form to communicate with the rest of the world. When the body becomes old and useless we give it up and take a brand new one (within a female's womb) and start over again. We experience birth, disease, old age and death in every body we inhabit. When we finally get a human body, which is the rarest form of life, we have full capability to inquire and search for the way out of this material cage. The only way out is to develop a relationship with God so He can give us His mercy and allows to get out of this cycle of repeated birth and death.

Answer 5

It teaches that Jesus, being God, i. e., the Son of God, in "eternity past", relinquished his "spiritual glory" as God, "came down" to earth from heaven and "became flesh" in the womb of his "birth" mother Mary. In other words God, i.e., the Son of God, changed from a "Spirit Being" to a "Mortal Being", albeit he never lost his "deity". Denominational "theologians" argue about the thousands of nuances which this doctrine obviously poses, but I believe the above is sufficient simply because it is NOT TRUE. The scriptures do not teach that "God became Man" rather they teach that God's WORD, which is His CHARACTER, His DISPOSITION, His WILL became embedded, so to speak, in the mortal MAN Jesus. Just as my father and your father passed down to us their CHARACTERS, DISPOSITIONS, SPIRITS, etc., so to did Jesus' Father pass on the same to Jesus. The obvious difference then would be that our CHARACTER is "earthly/fleshly" minded as opposed to Jesus' which was "heavenly/spiritually" minded. Jesus' CHARACTER was the only one "stamped" with the "seal of approval" from God because it was given to him from "conception", NOT INCARNATION. To be "conceived" by definition means to have a "beginning" and you will find that word in scripture, Matthew 1:20. When did God's WORD manifest itself in Jesus? Not at his conception, nor at his birth, rather it was when the people "heard him speak", John 6:63. God was literally speaking to His people via the human voice of His son Jesus, Hebrews 1. Because of his obedience unto death, God raised him from the dead and has made him 'King of kings" and "Lord of lords". These titles are NOT equivalent to GOD, although they are the highest titles that a MAN can receive from God. Hope this helps.
