Levi H. Dowling

“ We read that Moses said, He came from God. If Adam came from God pray, was he offspring, was he son?
33. We are the children of this son of God; then tell me, learned priest, Who are we if not sons of God? ”

“ So man is God on earth, and he who honours God must honour man; for God and man are one, as father and the child are one.
42. Behold, I say, The hour has come; the dead will hear the voice of man, and live, because the son of man is son of God.
43. You men of Israel, hear! you live in death; you are locked up within the tomb.
44. (There is no deeper death than ignorance and unbelief.)
45. But all will some day hear the voice of God made plain by voice of man, and live. You all will know that you are sons of God, and by the sacred Word, may do the works of God. ”

“ A leading priest, Abihu, said, This fellow is a menace to our nation and our laws; he makes himself to be a son of God; it is not meet that he should live.
30. But Jesus said, Abihu, Sir, you are a learned man; you surely know the law of life. Pray tell who were the sons of God we read about in Genesis, who took to wife the daughters of the sons of men? ”
