神
主是爱本身，以智慧本身的形式表达。爱是他的本质，也是他的全部。智慧-对如何将爱付诸行动的热爱理解-稍微有点外在，为爱提供了一种表达自我的方式。 当圣经说“耶和华”时，它代表的是至高无上的爱，这是主的本质。那爱本身就是一个完整的整体，而爱也是一个，只适用于主的名字。然而，智慧表达在各种各样的思想和观念中，这些著作统称为神的真理。也有许多虚构的神，有时天使和人也可以被称为神（耶和华说摩西将成为亚伦的神）。因此，当圣经称上帝为“上帝”时，多数情况下是指神圣的真理。 在其他情况下，“上帝”指的是所谓的神圣人类。情况是这样的： 作为人类，我们不能直接将主作为上帝的爱来参与。它太强大了，太纯净了。相反，我们必须通过神圣的真理了解他来接近他。因此，神圣的真理是人类形式的主，这是我们可以接近和理解的形式。因此，“上帝”也被用来指代人类这一方面，因为它是真理的表达。

天
"空气 "在《圣经》中代表了思想，但以一种非常笼统的方式--更像是我们感知思想的能力和我们倾向于思考的方式，而不是我们对具体事物的具体想法。 仔细想想，这也是有道理的。我们通过空气看到周围的世界，看到对应于理解。我们通过空气听到，而听觉对应着被教化和服从。鸟儿在空中飞翔，它们代表着具体的思想和观念。而呼吸本身--吸进空气，将氧气传递到血液中--代表着我们对真正的精神理念的理解。

害怕
对未知的恐惧和对变化的恐惧都是一种常见的观念，共同涵盖了我们在自然生活中容易产生的恐惧的广泛范围。从某种意义上说，当《圣经》中的人被描述为 "害怕 "时，它们的背后也蕴含着灵性的意义。 根据《文集》的描述，当一种更高尚、更内在的属灵状态与一种更低级、更外在的属灵状态沟通时，人们就会感到恐惧，并表明这种状态需要被改造和提升。圣诞故事中的牧羊人就是如此，当天使来告诉他们一个全新的属灵时代时，他们的第一反应是恐惧。摩西在燃烧的灌木丛中，雅各在看到梯子的异象后，甚至门徒看到耶稣在加利利海上行走，都是如此--在这些情况下，一个更高的状态正在向他们伸出手来，要求他们接受属灵生命的新阶段。 这在更消极的意义上也是如此，当邪恶和错误的思想状态接触到精神上的东西，感觉到自己的悲惨的启示的威胁时，也是如此。 圣经》也经常讲到人敬畏神，这是一个相关但不同的想法，其他地方也有涉及。

亞當
亚当是《圣经》中最关键也是最有争议的人物之一，甚至将信徒分成了几个阵营：认为他是字面意义上的存在，由上帝创造的第一个人；认为他是一个具象的人物，体现了属灵和道德的教训，但不是实际的人。 在某种程度上，这种争论是由语言学引起的。"adam "这个词是希伯来文的 "人 "或 "人类 "的意思，在《创世记》第一章中一直是这样翻译的。事实上，在那一章中，"亚当 "是复数，包括男人和女人。"神照着自己的形象造人，照着神的形象造了他；男的和女的，也照着神的形象造了他"（《创世记》第1章）。创世记1:27诗经》，引自《圣经》詹姆士王版）。)然而，在后面的章节中----甚至包括耶稣的家谱在 路加福音3:38 - "亚当 "作为一个人名，似乎是指特定的人。 常见的解释是 创世记1:26-28 是关于人的创造的一般陈述，而这一章的具体内容在下一章中，当神首先创造了男人亚当和女人夏娃时，就已经说明了这一章的具体内容。但在语言上，第二章的 "亚当 "与第一章的 "亚当 "在语言上是一样的。事实上，在第二章中段，詹姆士王版本的圣经从 "人 "到 "亚当"，在第二章中段从 "人 "到 "亚当...
