VOLJA-MILOST .... (Pripomba na Filipljane 2:13) ....

Do duhovnega zastoja bo prišlo takrat, ko je volja človeka prešibka, da bi premagala ovire. Noben nadaljnji napredek se ne more več napraviti. Čeprav je vse odvisno od Božje milosti, pa vendar mora človek k temu narediti svoje, da bi postal obilno blagoslovljen, on mora uporabiti svojo voljo in napotiti prošnjo za moč, potem bo on stremel navzgor. Ne obstaja nobena pot, ki izključuje voljo človeka, zatorej mora on najprej aktivirati svojo voljo. Nihče ne more biti izvzet od tega.

Če bi Božja milost bila označena kot prva, bi bil človek osvobojen od tega, da aktivno uporabi svojo voljo. In to je napaka, ki zopet potegne za sabo še druge napake. Božja milost in usmiljenje prav gotovo vplivata na posameznika tako, da mu zagotavljata vse možnosti za njegovo končno Odrešitev. Kajti to je nepredstavljiva Božja milost, da lahko človek potuje po poti zemeljskega življenja, da bi se ponovno vrnil k Bogu....

Vendar je v fazi svobodne volje le svobodna volja odločilnega pomena, glede tega ali on bo, ali ne bo sprejel nadaljnje blagoslove; sicer življenje na Zemlji ne bi bilo preizkusni čas (za preizkušanje njegove volje), katerega človek mora opraviti. Bog želi dostaviti na Zemljo Čisto Resnico. Zatorej mora On dati pojasnilo tam, kjer ravnajo ljudje narobe ali so se zmotili. On mora popraviti to, kar je do sedaj bilo narobe razumljeno, ker On želi ločiti Resnico od neresnice (laži). Če se človek upira Božjemu prizadevanju, da ga uvede v Resnico, on prav tako aktivno uporablja svojo voljo, vendar na Bogu nasproten način, in nikoli ne more postati razsvetljen.

Bog je dal človeku sposobnost, da podrobno razmišlja o stvareh in, da lahko sprejme svobodno odločitev. To je zopet Božja milost, vendar pa je svobodna odločitev ponovno odvisna od volje človeka, zatorej mora oseba želeti, da Božja milost uresniči učinek v njej.... Njegova volja odpira srce, da postane dovzetno za Božjo milost, in njegova volja mora Božjo milost prav tako uporabiti.... Šele to jasno spoznanje (razumevanje) omogoča osebi, da razvije občutek odgovornosti, medtem, ko do sedaj napačno stališče, da človek ne more storiti ničesar brez Božje milosti.... da ta le motivira človeško voljo.... slabi njegov notranji vzgib-vzpodbudo, da bi bil aktiven.

V tem primeru ne bi mogli govoriti o svobodni volji človeka, če bi Bog Sam vplival na to voljo, s posredovanjem Svoje milosti. Sredstva pomoči ima človek sicer na razpolago v neomejenem obsegu, zatorej mu bo olajšano dopustiti svoji volji, da postane aktivna, vendar pa mora slednje storiti človek iz svoje lastne vzpodbude. Pravi namen (cilj) življenja za človeka je, da v svobodni volji sprejme odločitev za ali proti Bogu.... Zatorej Bog nikoli ne bo pospešil te odločitve, tako, da bi določil voljo človeka, ker bi to prav zares zgrešilo namen življenja na Zemlji.

To je razlog, zakaj so ljudje vedno znova obveščeni, da bodo postali pozorni in osvobodili sebe od tega, kar je zmota, in kar bi zaradi človeških idej in človeških interpretacij-razlag lahko postala zmota, ne, da bi se namerno hotelo širiti zmoto. Toda prav ta razlaga, da je Bog Sam ta, Kateri določa voljo človeka, nosi veliko težo, ker ga vodi v napačno razmišljanje. Zato ne bo niti Božanstvo ustrezno prepoznano, niti to ne krepi občutka odgovornosti človeka....

On se bo na koncu zanašal le na Božjo milost, ki prevzema osebo odvisno od Božanske volje.... ki teče k njemu, pod pogojem, da mu je Bog namenil podariti milost. Toda v tem primeru on ne more biti poklican na odgovornost, če ne doseže cilja, ki mu je bil dan na začetku njegovega utelešenja. Le v svobodni volji najdemo bistvo vsega; vendar pa vsak kdor izpodbija (zanika) svobodno voljo človeka, vidi sebe le kot marioneto-lutko, ki je vedno in nenehno vodena z višjo Silo, ne, da pri tem sama kakorkoli aktivno sodeluje.

Božja modrost in Ljubezen izključujeta nesvobodo volje, sicer bi bil višji razvoj za človeško dušo nemogoč in ne bi potreboval dolgotrajnega procesa na Zemlji (skozi stvaritve treh kraljestev narave), če bi Božja volja izbrala kandidate za Božje kraljestvo in jim s tem dostavljala Svojo milost, katero bi ljudje naknadno sprejeli in bi jih zagotovo vodila v nebeško kraljestvo. AMEN

Will – Grace .... (Objection Philippians 2 – 13)

Spiritual standstill sets in when the human being’s will is too weak to overcome obstacles. No further progress can be made anymore. Although everything depends on God’s grace, the human being must participate in order to become richly blessed, he must use his will and appeal for strength, then he will strive towards ascent. No way exists which excludes the human being’s will, and thus he must activate his will first. No person can be released from this. Were God’s grace designated to come first, the human being would be released from actively using his will. And this is an error which, in turn, results in further errors. God’s grace and mercy certainly take hold of a person by providing him with every opportunity for his final deliverance. For it is an inconceivable grace on the part of God that the human being may travel the path of earthly life in order to return to Him again .... But in the stage of free will, only free will is decisive as to whether or not he will receive further blessings; otherwise life on earth would not be a probationary period which the human being has to pass. God wants to convey the pure truth to earth. Thus He must clarify where people are mistaken or have erred. He must rectify that which hitherto has been misunderstood, for He wants to separate the truth from the untruth. If the human being resists God’s effort to guide him into truth he also actively uses his will but in a God-opposing way and he can never become enlightened. God gave the human being the ability to think things through and to make a free decision. This is God’s grace again, nevertheless, the free decision depends on the human being’s will in turn, thus a person must want God’s grace to take effect in him .... His will opens the heart to become receptive for God’s grace, and his will must also make use of God’s grace .... It is this clear realisation which lets a person develop a sense of responsibility in the first place, whereas the hitherto wrong attitude that the human being is incapable of doing anything without divine grace .... that this motivates the human will in the first place .... weakens his urge to be active. In that case one could not speak of a person’s free will, if God Himself were to influence this will by conveying His grace. Unlimited means of help are certainly at a person’s disposal, thus it is made easy for him to let his will become active, yet the latter must be done by the person himself of his own accord. The actual purpose of life is for a human being to make a decision for or against God of his own free will .... Consequently, God will never precipitate this decision by determining the human being’s will, for this would truly defeat the purpose of life on earth. This is why people are repeatedly informed so that they will pay attention and release themselves from that which is mistaken, and from those human ideas and human interpretations which became erroneous without consciously intending to spread error. Yet precisely this interpretation, that God Himself determines the human being’s will, carries much weight for it leads to wrong thinking. Neither the Deity can be properly recognised nor does it strengthen the human being’s sense of responsibility .... He will ultimately only rely on divine grace, which seizes the person depending on divine will .... which flows to him, providing that God has intended to bestow grace upon him. But in that case he could not be held accountable if he does not reach the goal given to him at the beginning of his embodiment. The crucial point can only be found in free will; however, anyone who argues the human being’s free will regards himself as a puppet which is always and forever guided by a higher Power without taking any kind of active part in it. God’s wisdom and love prevents a restriction of will, otherwise higher development would be impossible for the human soul and the long process on earth would be unnecessary if God’s will were to select the aspirants for God’s kingdom by conveying His grace to them, which people would subsequently seize and thus be safely guided by it into the kingdom of heaven.

Amen
