Q:
Please, in your opinion,
what is the difference between the Will of the Universal Father and the
Will of the Eternal Son? I just discovered from TUB that there is the
Will of the Eternal Son and the Will of the Father as I was reading
about Magisterial Sons being subjected to the Will of the Eternal Son
and not to the Universal Father. I am quite perplexed about it.
A: I wonder if this is the
reference you
are asking about:
(20:6.5)
The mortal-bestowal
careers of the Michaels and the Avonals, while comparable in most
respects, are not identical in all: Never does a Magisterial Son
proclaim, "Whosoever has seen the Son has seen the Father," as did your
Creator Son when on Urantia and in the flesh. But a bestowed Avonal
does declare, "Whosoever has seen me has seen the Eternal Son of God."
The Magisterial Sons are not of immediate descent from the Universal
Father, nor do they incarnate subject to the Father's will; always do
they bestow themselves as Paradise Sons subject to the will of the
Eternal Son of Paradise.
This Eternal Son is
the second person of the Trinity. Most religions assume that Jesus is
this person, but we know from Urantia Book revelation that he is not.
Instead, Jesus is a Creator Son on the order of Michael, and he is of
origin in the Universal Father, whereas, Magisterial Sons are called
Paradise Sons, originating in the Eternal Son.
(7:6.5))
Much as the
Creator Sons are personalized by the Father and the Son, so are the
Magisterial Sons personalized by the Son and the Spirit. These are the
Sons who, in the experiences of creature incarnation, earn the right to
serve as the judges of survival in the creations of time and space.
I am answering you
in a sort of roundabout way, but I think it will help you to understand
better if you can bear with me here. I
would suggest you first read about the Seven
Master Spirits In this section, we
learn about the "associative possibilities mathematically inherent in
the factual existence of the three persons of Deity."
And
they all
evidently have their own "will aspects" of Deity.
Getting
a grasp on
the idea of the
Seven Master Spirits will help you to understand this next passage. I
offer it as an example in which Jesus was
subject to all of these "wills" of all seven of the Master Spirits in
his seven bestowals in our universe.
(119:8.4)
These various will aspects of the Deities are eternally personalized in
the differing natures of the Seven Master Spirits, and each of
Michael's bestowals was peculiarly revelatory of one of these divinity
manifestations. On his Melchizedek bestowal he manifested the united
will of the Father, Son, and Spirit, on his Lanonandek bestowal the
will of the Father and the Son; on the Adamic bestowal he revealed the
will of the Father and the Spirit, on the seraphic bestowal the will of
the Son and the Spirit; on the Uversa mortal bestowal he portrayed the
will of the Conjoint Actor, on the morontia mortal bestowal the will of
the Eternal Son; and on the Urantia material bestowal he lived the will
of the Universal Father, even as a mortal of flesh and blood.
Jesus,
being a Creator Son,
and of origin in the Father, is subject finally to the will of the
Father, and all the other "divinity
manifestations." But Magisterial Sons are of origin in the Eternal Son,
as in the first quote above:
"The
Magisterial Sons are not of
immediate descent from the Universal Father, nor do they incarnate
subject to the Father's will; always do they bestow themselves as
Paradise Sons subject to the will of the Eternal Son of Paradise."
This
is referring to the second Master Spirit, that of the Eternal Son.
Magisterial Sons do bestow themselves on planets such as ours, and
I expect they are subject to the will of the Eternal Son because that
is their point of origin, as in the above quote.
But
you might assume that
since the Eternal Son is one of the Trinity, then he is on an equal
footing with God the Father, and so, maybe the difference is academic
in the end...or maybe not. The Trinity is a mystery beyond my
comprehension....
I am not sure
if this adequately answers your question, but I hope it has given you
some material to study, so that you understand these
distinctions.
Thanks again for this great
question - keep reading!!!
