"Thou shalt not kill...."

Those who are wise in the world are not always so when it comes to instructing other people in the divine-spiritual.... There is a difference between how worldly people judge and how God judges, and for the most part worldly prudence will judge in a way that is beneficial for worldly people.... But they do not consider whether this also corresponds to divine will. It can never be in the will of God that the powerful should rise above the powerless, that it should oppress the weak and deprive it of its freedom. God created all people with equal rights and never gave the strong the right to abuse his strength in such a way that he subjugates the weak.... But people's will is free, and the effect of a bad will can and will be directed by God in such a way that it is a blessing for the person concerned.... so that in the end even detestable deeds can have an educational effect and promote the maturing of the soul.... but they can also have a negative effect if the will of the weak person affected is also bad.... Thou shalt not kill.... This commandment was given to you, and you should observe it at all times.... But every human being also has the duty.... to follow this same commandment.... to protect life.... thus also the right to defend oneself or the lives of others, because there will always be people who sin against God's commandments, who abuse their strength, who do not observe human rights and are obviously at the will of the one who is himself an enemy of God.... It is not God's will that an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth should be repaid, that man should repay evil with evil.... For all hatred is to be fought, and man is also to forgive his enemy, if he himself demands forgiveness from God.... But the life of a human being is also a gift from God which should be defended by everyone who is able to do so, because life is given to him for the maturing of the soul and therefore may not be given away lightly.... He is allowed to protect his own life.... he is therefore not held responsible in the case of self-defence.... but he is held responsible if he did not protect the life of others that he could protect.... For then he is just as guilty of their deaths as if he had killed them himself, for the commandment "Thou shalt not kill...." also includes the care for the life of the neighbour, it is simply a commandment of neighbourly love which must be fulfilled.... always provided that man is capable of protecting the life of his neighbour.... However, in the world the terms have become confused.... Hunger for power, political interests, hostility and unkindness have created laws which overturn the divine order.... Divine commandments remain unheeded, people have been taught false concepts of honour, everything is outside the divine order, and the idea of mutual destruction or weakening can be found everywhere, but hides under the cloak of justice.... Laws enacted by people force them to disregard the divine command.... and no human being holds the life of his neighbour sacred.... They submit to unjust demands, partly forced, partly voluntary; they are careless both with their own lives and with the lives of their neighbour.... They recklessly put themselves in danger and gamble with the lives of others.... They do not know the value of life for the soul.... And that is why they are also prepared to take up arms against their fellow human beings and are not only concerned with defending human life but also with achieving other aims which are always earthly-material and therefore cannot be divinely-willed. The thought of defending valuable life is only found in very few people.... whereas the thought of earthly advantages or favourable effects is predominant.... And the commandment "Thou shalt not kill...." is unhesitatingly rejected or even invoked only for the purpose of achieving other aims.... But there remains this commandment as a divine word: Thou shalt not kill.... And whoever ends the life of a fellow human being in free will, without danger to himself or others, commits an offence against this commandment, and he will have to answer for it.... And God will judge according to law and justice....

Amen

»NE UBIJAJ....«

Tisti, ki so v svetu bistroumni, to niso vedno, ko se gre za poučevanje drugih ljudi glede Božanskega-duhovnega.... Svetovni ljudje vedno mislijo in presojajo drugače, kakor presoja Bog; in svetovni um bo zagotovo vedno presojal tako, da bo to v korist svetovnih ljudi.... Ali je to v skladu z Božansko voljo, oni ne razmišljajo. Nikoli ne more biti Božanska volja to, da se močen dvigne iznad nebogljenega, da tlači šibkega in da mu odvzema njegovo svobodo.... Bog je vse ljudi ustvaril z enakimi pravicami in močnemu ni nikoli dal pravice, da zlorabi svojo moč na način, da zasužjni šibkega.... Vendar pa je človekova volja svobodna, in učinek zle volje Bog lahko in tudi bo vendarle zopet vodil tako, da bo le ta na blagoslov za dotičnega.... tako da bodo navsezadnje dela, ki so vredna prezira, imela vzgojni učinek in bodo doprinesla k dozorevanju duše.... kakor lahko ravno tako proizvedejo negativni rezultat, če je volja dotičnega šibkega človeka ravno tako zla....

»Ne ubijaj....« Dana vam je ta zapoved, in vi ljudje jo morate vedno spoštovati.... Torej vsak človek ima ravno tako dolžnost.... da vrši to isto zapoved.... da ščiti življenje.... zato tudi pravico, da brani samega sebe ali življenje drugih; vedno bodo namreč ljudje, ki grešijo zoper Božjih zapovedi, ki zlorabljajo svojo moč, ki ne spoštujejo človekovih pravic in so na očiten način po volji tistemu (Satanu), ki je sovražnik Boga.... To ni Božja volja, da se vrača oko za oko, zob za zob, da človek na zlo odgovori z zlom.... Vsako sovraštvo je namreč potrebno premagati, in človek mora odpustiti celo sovražniku, če on sam Boga prosi za odpuščanje.... Vendar pa je človeško življenje ravno tako Božji dar, katerega mora zaščititi vsak, ki je to sposoben narediti; življenje mu je namreč dano za dozorevanje duše, in zaradi tega se ga ne sme predati (žrtvovati).... On mora braniti svoje lastno življenje, zaradi česar on, v primeru nujne obrambe ne bo poklican na odgovornost.... vendar pa bo on poklican na odgovornost, če on ne (za)ščiti življenja tistemu, kateremu bi on lahko (za)ščitil.... Potem je namreč on kriv za njegovo smrt enako, kot da bi ga on sam ubil, ker zapoved »Ne ubijaj«.... obenem tudi zajema skrb za življenje bližnjega; to je enostavno zapoved Ljubezni do bližnjega, katera mora biti izpolnjena.... ob predpostavki, da je človek sposoben (za)ščititi življenje bližnjemu....

Vendar pa so v svetu pojmi pomešani.... Sla po moči, politični interesi, sovraštvo in pomanjkanje Ljubezni so ustvarili zakone, ki rušijo Božanski red.... Božanske zapovedi ostajao zanemarjene; ljudje so naučeni (biti, delovati) pod lažnim pojmom časti. Nič ni v Božanskem redu, toda povsod je moč najti vzajemno misel o uničenju in omalovaževanju, katera je prikrita s plaščem pravičnosti.... Od ljudi (iz)dani zakoni prisiljujejo na nespoštovanje Božanske zapovedi.... in življenje bližnjega ni nikomur sveto.... Oni se podrejajo nepravičnim zahtevam, delno prisilno in delno prostovoljno; obnašajo se neodgovorno tako do lastnega življenja, kakor tudi do življenja drugih.... Oni ne poznajo vrednosti življenja za dušo.... In zaradi tega so se ravno tako pripravljeni vojskovati proti bližnjih; in oni ne gledajo na to kot zgolj na obrambo (ohranitev) človeškega življenja, ampak tudi kot na doseganje drugih ciljev, kateri pa so vedno svetovni-materialni, zaradi česar ne morejo biti v skladu z Božansko voljo. Misel o obrambi (ohranitvi) dragocenega življenja je možno najti edino pri maloštevilnih.... namesto tega prevladuje misel o zemeljskih koristih ali ugodnih posledicah le tega.... Toda zapoved »Ne ubijaj« je brez razmišljanja zavržena ali zgolj navedena kot namen za doseganje drugih ciljev.... Vendar pa ta zapoved obstaja kot Božja Beseda: »Ne ubijaj....« In kdor v svobodni volji odvzame življenje bližnjemu, brez da je on sam v nevarnosti ali da so v nevarnosti drugi, greši zoper te zapovedi, zaradi česar bo moral on odgovarjati.... Bog pa bo sodil v skladu z zakonom in pravičnostjo.

AMEN
