(23,555 posts)6. I'm sorry, but that falls short of Christian theology. In the God System parable, the father/source
Figure gives the son/soul his inheritance/nature and then is out of the picture until son/soul returns. It is the soul, our spark of divine nature, which is there to guide us and help us choose godly behaviors. There is more God System to that parable and more details in other parables.
