119. [120.] All people are examined after death to discover what idea they have of God. This idea is the principal one of all, because conjunction with the Lord and conjunction with heaven are formed in accordance with it, and every element of love and faith connected with the church is therefore formed in accordance with it, because every element of the church is Divine, indeed is God. Consequently every element of the church in a person flows from his idea of God. Thus the character of that idea in a person determines the character of his heaven. Africans, too, differ from each other according to their idea of God. Some of them worship an invisible God and a visible one. Some make of these two separate beings; some make them one and the same. Some have been taught by Christians that God was born a man, and they accept this; but when they hear Christians distinguish the Divine into three persons, they go away, believing nevertheless that even if Christians say three, they must still think one; for they do not comprehend what a Son born from eternity is. Some of the best among them believe that God is altogether a person. They say that those who believed that God was born a man had once seen a bright star in the sky. The wiser of them believe that God was born in the world as a man and thus manifested Himself.
