The Milta (Miltha) is not Your Idea of God, but is God's Idea of Himself (and IS Himself)
Originally "The historic Jesus is not your idea of God, but God's idea of Himself."
--E. Stanley Jones, in introduction to Perfect Everything, J. Rufus Moseley, 1949.
Per John 1:1 in the Aramaic, the historic Jesus was and is the Milta, the Manifestation of the essential connotation of God. The Milta is God's answer to the question, "What would it be like if I, I were manifest?" And so, by the way, the Milta is as eternal as God is, for He is the manifestation of the Eternal One, being the Eternal One manifest.
"The highest self-disclosure that Jesus makes of Himself is that He is Perfect Everything, giving Perfect Everything, inspiring Perfect Everything, enabling Perfect Everything, and commanding Perfect Everything.
"He is the most precious being of all because He is God, the Eternal Christ and the perfect man on the plane of our suffering and need; He is the perfect Word made perfect flesh, the perfect Ideal perfectly realized and manifested.
"He is the perfect man, perfectly self-offered, resurrected, glorified, and on the throne of God and the universe. He is the perfect beginning of the new heaven and earth.
"He is the perfect Body as well as the perfect Soul. In Him the perfect spirit has attained the perfect form and concretion, and (as Whitehead has observed) the whole movement of the Divine Spirit is toward concretion. He is perfect God on the throne of man, and perfect man on the throne of God."
I guess Rufus Moseley would say that Jesus is the Perfection.
