If the paradoxes I have gathered on these pages have on recurring theme, it is the folly of denying ignorance. Just because something is so doesn’t mean that we can know it. There is necessary ignorance, and it is more significant than mere solipsism would have us believe.

First … it is necessary to have faith in God, faith being the first principle in revealed religion, and the foundation of all righteousness. Faith in God is to believe that he is, and “that he is the only supreme Governor and independent Being, in whom all fulness and perfection and every good gift and principle dwell independently,” and in whom the faith of all other rational beings must centre for life and salvation; and further, that he is the great Creator of all things, that he is omnipotent, omniscient, and by his works and the power of his Spirit omnipresent.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Faith is based on truth, and is preceded by knowledge. Until a person gains a knowledge of the truth he can have no faith… faith and truth cannot be separated; if there is to be faith, saving faith, faith unto life and salvation, faith that leads to the celestial world, there must first be truth. Not only is true knowledge of God a conditional precedent to the acquirement of this faith, but faith can be exercised only by those who conform to the principles of truth which come from the true God who actually exists.
