What is Prime Reality?
What is the Prime Reality?
“The eternal, independent, and self-existent Being;
the Being whose purposes and actions spring from himself,
without foreign motive or influence; he who is absolute in
dominion; the most pure, the most simple, the most spiritual
of all essences, infinitely perfect; and eternally self-sufficient,
needing nothing that he has made; illimitable in his immensity,
inconceivable in his mode of existence, and indescribable in his
essence; known fully only to himself, because an infinite mind
can only be comprehended by itself. In a word, a Being who,
from his infinite wisdom, cannot err or be deceived, and from
his infinite goodness, can do nothing but what is essentially
just, and right, and kind.”
Adam Clarke, an early Methodist minister (late 18th cent.)
quoted by Dallas Willard in Divine Conspiracy, pg 65-66
