神
主は愛そのものであり、知恵そのものの形で表現されます。それから、愛は彼の本質であり、彼の最深部です。知恵-愛を行動に移す方法についての愛情のある理解-はわずかに外的であり、愛に自分自身を表現する方法を与えます。 聖書が「エホバ」について語るとき、それは主の本質である最も深い愛を表しています。その愛はそれ自体で一つの完全で完全なものであり、エホバもまた一つであり、主にのみ適用される名前です。しかし、知恵は、著作がまとめて神の真実と呼ぶ、非常に多様な思考とアイデアで表現されます。また、多くの想像上の神がいます、そして時々天使と人々は神と呼ばれることができます（主はモーセがアーロンにとって神であると言った）。ですから、聖書が主を「神」と呼ぶとき、ほとんどの場合、それは神の真理を指します。 他の場合、「神」は神の人間と呼ばれるものに言及しています。これがある場合： 人間として、私たちは神の愛として主に直接関わることはできません。強力すぎて純粋すぎます。代わりに、神の真理を通して神を理解することによって、神にアプローチしなければなりません。神の真理は、人間の形の主であり、私たちがアプローチし理解できる形です。したがって、「神」は、この人間的側面に関しても使用されます。なぜなら、それは真実の表現だからです。

ベテル
ヤコブが有名な夢を見た時 天国へと続く階段の夢を見た 彼はその場所を "ベテル "と名付けた ヘブライ語で "神の家 "を意味する "ベテル "だ その文字通りの意味が霊的な意味に反映されています。聖書によれば，「ベテル」は主の神聖な愛，主がわたしたちすべてのために持っておられる完全な愛，主の本質である完全な愛について，わたしたちが持つことのできる知識と理解を表しています。私たちが主の愛を知り、それをある程度理解すると、それが私たちの中に「家」を与え、それが私たちの中で成長し、私たち自身の愛に影響を与えるようになります。 "ベテル "は旧約聖書の後半では逆の意味を持っていて、ジェロボアムがそこに黄金の子牛を設置して偶像礼拝の中心地とした後です。その後、それは邪悪な愛に由来する崇拝を表していました。
