The Corps of Mortal Finaliters is one of the seven finaliter corps. [1] Agondonters, ascenders that have lived in an isolated world due to rebellion, are functionally grouped inside the finaliters. [2] They are a wholly self-governing body and their oath of allegiance is only to the Paradise Trinity. [3]
As yet there seems to be no specific or settled employment for the Mortal Corps of Finaliters, though they serve in many capacities on worlds settled in light and life. [4]
They were attacked by Lucifer. He intimated that the finaliters were in collusion with the Paradise Sons to foist fraud upon all creation about the existence of the Father since they never brought back a very clear-cut idea of the Father’s actual personality as it is discernible on Paradise. [5]
The primary finaliter corps is composed of Havona natives, Gravity Messengers, Glorified Mortals, Adopted Seraphim, and Glorified Material Sons and Midwayers. [6] Trinity Teacher Sons are intimately connected with finaliters. [7] They appear in Uversa personality register. [8]
There are a thousand finaliters in each company of finaliters. [9]
The finaliter companies are solely amenable to the mandates of Paradise origin until the eventful times of the settling of local universes in light and life. [10] Ascendant associates stay together in companies. [11] They are initially sent to serve in all superuniverses other than the one of their origin, and then later may serve in their own. [12] One or more companies of the mortal finaliters are constantly in service on Urantia. [13] As members of each finaliter company we have:
All the ascendant creatures admitted to this corps are received in equality. [20]
Primary midwayers are destined to various finaliter corps, but the secondary or Adamic midwayers are all routed for enrollment in the Mortal Corps of Finality. [21]
The proportion of mortals and angels in any one group varies, though the mortals far outnumber the seraphim. Ascendant mortals and seraphim number 990 per company and ascenders total 997. [22] Each Gravity Messenger has a staff of 999 fellow Messengers at his service. [23] Havona natives must achieve experiential capacity to receive the Father fragment. [24] It is not clear what will happen to the new ascending mortals after the age of the Supreme, when the grand universe is established in light and life. [25] Of all the creatures of the grand universe, only those who are Father fused are mustered into the Mortal Corps of the Finality. [26] Havona natives provide to finaliters the viewpoint of one born in perfection and divine repleteness. [27]
The present known destiny of surviving mortals is the Paradise Corps of the Finality. [28]
Children who have been deprived of the valuable and essential evolutionary experience on the worlds of mortal nativity, and have passed through probationary nurseries, are not mustered into the Corps of the Finality. [29] It is speculated that the fate of the mortal finaliters will be in outer space, in the universes that are currently being organized in outer space. [30]
There are those who hold that the soul-identity of Jesus now rests in the “bosom of the Father,” and that it will later be released to lead the Corps of the Finality of Nebadon to its undisclosed destiny associated with the universes of outer space. [31]
In the 7th jubilee finaliters become 6th state spirits upon taking the oath that musters them forever into the eternity assignment of the Corps of the Mortal Finality. [32] Upon completion of their Havona residency the ascending pilgrims pass inward for Paradise sojourn and admission to the Corps of the Finality. [33] After the attainment of the supreme satisfaction of the fullness of worship, ascenders are qualified for admission to the Corps of the Finality. [34]
When mortal ascenders are admitted to the finaliter corps of Paradise, they take an oath to the Paradise Trinity, and also to God the Supreme, who is the Trinity as comprehended by all finite creature personalities. [35]
