The Urantia Book -- Part I. The Central
and Superuniverses
PAPER 10: Section 6.
The Stationary Sons Of The Trinity
P114:2, 10:6.1 All law takes origin in the First Source and Center; he is law. The administration of spiritual law inheres in the Second Source and Center. The revelation of law, the promulgation
and interpretation of the divine statutes, is the function of the Third
Source and Center. The application of law, justice, falls within the
province of the Paradise Trinity and is carried out by certain Sons
of the Trinity.
P114:3, 10:6.2 Justice is inherent in the universal sovereignty of the Paradise
Trinity, but goodness, mercy, and truth are the universe ministry of
the divine personalities, whose Deity union constitutes the Trinity.
Justice is not the attitude of the Father, the Son, or the Spirit. Justice
is the Trinity attitude of these personalities of love, mercy, and ministry.
No one of the Paradise Deities fosters the administration of justice.
Justice is never a personal attitude; it is always a plural function.
P114:4, 10:6.3 Evidence, the basis of fairness (justice in harmony with mercy),
is supplied by the personalities of the Third Source and Center, the
conjoint representative of the Father and the Son to all realms and
to the minds of the intelligent beings of all creation.
P114:5, 10:6.4 Judgment, the final application of justice in accordance with
the evidence submitted by the personalities of the Infinite Spirit,
is the work of the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, beings partaking
of the Trinity nature of the united Father, Son, and Spirit.
P114:6, 10:6.5 This group of Trinity Sons embraces the following personalities:
- Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy.
- Eternals of Days.
- Ancients of Days.
- Perfections of Days.
- Recents of Days.
- Unions of Days.
- Faithfuls of Days.
- Perfectors of Wisdom.
- Divine Counselors.
- Universal Censors.
P114:17, 10:6.6 We are the children of the three Paradise Deities functioning as the
Trinity, for I chance to belong to the tenth order of this group, the
Universal Censors. These orders are not representative of the attitude
of the Trinity in a universal sense; they represent this collective
attitude of Deity only in the domains of executive judgment -- justice.
They were specifically designed by the Trinity for the precise work
to which they are assigned, and they represent the Trinity only in those
functions for which they were personalized.
P115:1, 10:6.7 The Ancients of Days and their Trinity-origin associates mete out the
just judgment of supreme fairness to the seven superuniverses. In the
central universe such functions exist in theory only; there fairness
is self-evident in perfection, and Havona perfection precludes all possibility
of disharmony.
P115:2, 10:6.8 Justice is the collective thought of righteousness; mercy is its personal
expression. Mercy is the attitude of love; precision characterizes the
operation of law; divine judgment is the soul of fairness, ever conforming
to the justice of the Trinity, ever fulfilling the divine love of God.
When fully perceived and completely understood, the righteous justice
of the Trinity and the merciful love of the Universal Father are coincident.
But man has no such full understanding of divine justice. Thus in the
Trinity, as man would view it, the personalities of Father, Son, and
Spirit are adjusted to co-ordinate ministry of love and law in the experiential
universes of time.
