83. Almost all who pass from the world into the other life believe in the Lord, as a mere man, and very few have an idea of His Divine. This is to be understood from Luke 18L8, "Shall He find faith on the earth?"
The reason is because they say three persons and One God, distinguishing between the Human of the Lord and His Divine. It is impossible in this way to name and believe in one God. It is impossible almost to believe that God is God, for the idea of Divinity is thus destroyed. It is quite different when it is said that the Lord alone is the One God.
See Isaiah 11:9, 10, and explain that the Lord is Jehovah, then that He came to effect judgment.
