DUHOVNA PRISILA.... ČLOVEŠKE ZAPOVEDI.... BORBA S KRISTUSOVIM UČENJEM LJUBEZNI....

Potrebno je obsoditi vsako duhovno prisilo, ker dejavnost človeškega bitja, ki izhaja iz nje, s strani Boga ne more biti cenjena. Edino popolna svoboda volje določa vrednost človekovih dejavnosti. Oni morajo biti glede na to obveščeni o Kristusovem učenju. Vendar pa se jim tega ne sme postaviti kot obveznost (ne sme se jih prisiliti), da živijo določen način življenja zaradi pravil in predpisov, katerih se bodo potem držali v poslušnosti in zaradi običaja. Zagotovo velja, da morajo biti ljudje vzgojeni in podučeni v pravilnem razmišljanju ter obnašanju, vendar pa jim mora biti pokazana pravičnost ali nepravičnost njihovih delovanj. Potrebno jim je svetovati, da prakticirajo Ljubezen; toda oni nikoli ne bi smeli biti prisiljeni na delovanja s pomočjo pravil, ki niso v skladu z njihovo notranjo voljo.

Potrebno je izvajati edino zapoved Ljubezni in jo glede na to obenem tudi poučevati.... namreč vsak, ki izpolni zapovedi Ljubezni, oblikuje svoje srce tako, da bo ono samo od sebe želelo izvajati tiste stvari, ki so v skladu z Božjo voljo. Torej zapovedi, ki človeka obvezujejo (prisiljujejo), da se v svojem življenju obnaša na določen način, celo če tudi neuspeh pri njihovem izvajanju ne prikazuje brezčutnosti do drugih ljudi, niso dane s strani Boga oz. one so izven (niso del) Kristusovega učenja, ker to učenje govori edinole o Ljubezni, katera pa nima za cilj tega, da bi uresničila izpolnitev Božanskih zapovedi s pomočjo zunanje sile.

Človeško bitje mora imeti možnost, da se(be) oblikuje v največji svobodi volje, da bo ta preobrazba razmišljanja veljala za vekomaj. Torej svoboda volje je omejena, čim ta preobrazba zahteva podložnost (omejenost svobode). Vsako dobro delo, ki ne izhaja iz srca oz. ki ni uresničeno s pomočjo notranje spodbude za izvajanje dela Ljubezni, bo cenjeno edino kot takšno, kakršno tudi je.... (zgolj) neko izvajanje obveznosti brez topline srca. In obstaja velika nevarnost, da bo človeško bitje usmerjalo premalo pozornosti na sebe, na svoje misli in delovanja. On namreč verjame, da je naredil vse, kar je potrebno narediti na Zemlji; to verovanje pa ima svoje temelje v zapovedih, katere so ljudje dodali Kristusovemu učenju. Edino Božansko učenje Ljubezni mora biti vzeto kot Kristusovo učenje, toda nikoli s strani ljudi določene zapovedi, katere imajo za svoj cilj ustvariti vse drugo, razen ravno teh resničnih delovanj Ljubezni....

Kjer se poučuje Ljubezen, tam mora biti Ljubezen tudi prakticirana; toda delovanja (akcije, aktivnosti) Ljubezni je potrebno dojeti kot vse tisto, kar prinaša koristi drugim ljudem. Tako se od človeškega bitja pričakuje edino to, da dela dobro svojemu bližnjemu; in glede na to bo Božansko učenje Ljubezni od ljudi zahtevalo edino izpolnjevanje tistih zahtev, ki ščitijo bližnje pred tem, da jih ne prizadenejo oz. ki jim prinašajo koristi. Ko človeško bitje vzame v poštev koristi svojega bližnjega, on živi znotraj Ljubezni, ker ga ona spodbuja, da pomaga drugim ljudem. To je resnično delovanje Ljubezni, katerega Bog zahteva od ljudi in katerega je Jezus Kristus prakticiral na Zemlji. Če se od ljudi zahteva nekaj, četudi neuspeh pri uresničitvi na nikakršen način ne škoduje ali prizadene drugih ljudi, potem je to zaradi zakonov, katere so določili ljudje, toda katerih se ne bi smelo mešati s Kristusovim učenjem.

Vendar pa obstaja velika nevarnost, da bodo zapovedi Ljubezni zanemarjene in da se bo dalo prednost tistim, ki so jih dodali ljudje, in da smisel ter vrednost Kristusovega učenja Ljubezni ne bodo prepoznani, o čemer pričuje dejstvo, da človeštvo, ki je nepodučeno o njegovi resnični (pravi) vrednosti, želi povsem zamenjati Kristusovo učenje Ljubezni.... ono namreč več pozornosti daje zapovedim, katere pa bolj ali manj zasužnjujejo človeško bitje, ker one zanj predstavljajo duhovno prisilo. To (Kristusovo učenje) je svetu v napoto; in sedaj ima (svet) namen, da se bori proti in da zamenja vse, vključno s čistim Kristusovim učenjem Ljubezni, katero pa edino oznanja Ljubezen. Vse, kar so ljudje dodali Božanskemu učenju Ljubezni, je bilo narejeno izključno zato, da bi se čisto Kristusovo učenje pomešalo z zmoto; to je namreč odmik od tega, kar je Jezus Kristus zapustil ljudem kot Njegovo Delo. Čeprav pa bo ostalo edino to, kar je po Božji volji.... toda človeško delo bo prešlo.

AMEN

Spiritual coercion.... Human commandments.... Fighting the teaching of Christ....

All spiritual coercion has to be condemned because the human being’s action resulting from it cannot be valued by God.

Only complete freedom of will determines the value of people’s actions. Therefore they should be informed of Christ’s teaching, but they should not be duty bound to lead a specific lifestyle as a result of rules and regulations, which they will then dutifully and habitually observe. People should certainly be educated to think and behave correctly, but they should only ever be shown the rights or wrongs of their actions. They have to be advised to practise love but they should never be urged into actions by rules which do not match their inner will. Only the commandment of love should be observed and therefore also taught.... because anyone who fulfils the commandment of love shapes his heart such that it will want to carry out of its own accord those things which correspond to God’s will. However, commandments which oblige a person to conduct his life in a certain way, even though a failure to comply with them does not demonstrate heartlessness towards other people, are not given by God, i.e. they are outside of Christ’s teaching, because this teaching only preaches love which, however, does not aim to achieve the fulfilment of divine commandments by means of external force.

The human being has to be able to shape himself in utmost freedom of will if this transformation of thought is to be of value for eternity. Freedom of will, however, is restricted as soon as a dutiful transformation is demanded. Every good deed which does not arise from the heart, i.e. which is not accomplished by the inner urge to carry out an action of love, will only be valued for what it is in reality.... an implementation of duty without warmth of heart. And there is great danger that the human being will give too little account to himself about his thoughts and actions because he believes to have done what he was meant to do on earth, and this belief has its foundation in the commandments which people had added to the teaching of Christ. Only the divine teaching of love is to be understood as the teaching of Christ, but never humanly decreed commandments which aim to achieve something else than just true actions of love....

Where love is taught love also has to be practised, and actions of love should be understood to be everything that is beneficial to other people. Thus the human being is merely expected to do good to his fellow human being, and therefore the divine teaching of love will only expect people to fulfil those requirements which protect their fellow human beings from damage or are of benefit to him. When the human being considers the wellbeing of his fellow human being he is living within love, because it is urging him to help other people. This is the true activity of love which is required from people by God and which was constantly practised by Jesus Christ on earth. However, if people are demanded to do something, even though failing to comply by no means damages or injures other people, then this is due to humanly decreed laws which should not be confused with the teaching of Christ.

Nevertheless, there is great danger that the commandments of love will be ignored in favour of these humanly added commandments and that the significance of Christ’s teaching of love will not be recognised, which is evidenced by the fact that humanity, ignorant of its true value, wants to replace Christ’s teaching of love completely. Because it pays more attention to commandments which more or less enslave the human being because they represent spiritual coercion to him.

The world takes offence to this and is now attempting to fight against and replace everything, including the pure teaching of Christ, which is only preaching love. Everything added by people to the divine teaching of love was only done to infiltrate the pure teaching of Christ with error, because it is deviating from what Jesus Christ has left to people as His Work. However, only what is of God will remain.... but human work will pass away....

Amen
