When on earth, to describe the Reality behind and within existence, Jesus deliberately coined the term the "Father" when referring to God. This was done for two reasons. Firstly, when Jesus received enlightenment in the desert, Jesus was enabled to see that the concepts describing the Creator of the universe as "revealed" by the Jewish Prophets are completely wrong. Secondly, Jesus was given to perceive clearly - and fully understand - the true nature of the Creator and Jesus realized that it was a nature of parenting - of fulfilling the needs of creation in clear-cut, specific ways which were synonymous with those of a father-mother. Indeed, Jesus saw that the parenting impulses present in all living creatures had been drawn directly from the Creator, and that the origin of all love and parenting drives was also the origin of life and existence itself. Jesus also "saw" that creation was a visible manifestation of the Universal Creative Impulses of Being, and therefore humankind can be termed the offspring of the Creator. For this reason, it was quite natural for Jesus to speak of the "Father" when referring to the Creator, since, to Jesus, this is what the Creator truly is in every way - more especially "Father-Mother," but having regard to the Jewish insistence on the woman occupying a subordinate position in their daily lives, Jesus referred only to the "Father" to avoid Jewish resistance and to gain their acceptance of the new terminology. Jesus also coined the term the "Father" to help the Jews realize that their concept of God and the rigidity of Jewish laws are totally erroneous. Also, by using a new terminology - the "Father" - to describe the Creator - the Creative Impulse - behind and within existence, Jesus made it clear he has brought an altogether new teaching in opposition to the accepted belief in God which rejected certain people and sent disasters upon them as retribution.
