Nitko ne može biti prisiljen vjerovati; posljedicno tome nemoguce je za Božanska otkrovenja [[ (recimo ove Objave) ]] da budu dana na takav nacin da se ona ne mogu dvojbiti. Ali ona mogu biti prepoznata kao Božanska otkrovenja od strane nekoga sa ozbiljnom voljom da razumije, tko prema tome ima jedan sasvim otvorenog-uma stav i ozbiljno ih ispita. Medutim, kada bi ljudima bio dan nepobitan dokaz da im se obratio Bog Osobno, njihove misli i namjere bi ovim dokazom bile odredene.... stoga bi to iskljucilo slobodnu odluku volje koja je, medutim, svrha i cilj života na Zemlji. Bilo bi doista lagano za Boga govoriti ljudima na takav nacin da oni više ne bi bili u stanju dvojbiti Njegovo postojanje, ali u tom slucaju svrha zemaljskog života bi bila promašena, jer deifikacija bica [[ (tj. postajanje djetetom Božjim) ]] je jedan cin slobodne volje, otud slobodna volja mora ostati nepovrediva, a ovo iskljucuje svaki apsolutni dokaz. Medutim, moguce je unatoc tome za svaku osobu priskrbiti njegovo vlastito unutarnje uvjerenje, jer cim je njegova volja odabrala Boga tako što mu svjesno želi pristupiti, Bog Osobno ce mu dati dokaz Njegove Ljubavi, mudrosti i svemoci.... On ce njemu ocitovati Sebe na nacin da on više ne može dvojbiti i sretan je u svezi ovog stecenog shvacanja. Ali milost Božjeg ocitovanja [[ (tj. objavljivanja Njegovog postojanja) ]] je podarena svakoj osobi.... Ipak svaka osoba ju ne vrednuje [[ (procjenjuje) ]] te postiže shvacanje. Samo stvaranje je vec ocitovanje Boga, i ono samo bi vec moglo služiti ljudskom bicu kao živi dokaz, ono bi njega moglo uvjeriti o vjecnom Stvaralackom Duhu Koji Sebe ocituje kroz ovo stvaranje [[ (Rimljanima 1:19, 20) ]]. Ali cak ni stvaranje ne smije biti na-vjeru-prisiljavajuci dokaz.... To je zašto ljudsko bice može takoder pokušati potkrijepiti dokazima pojavak stvaranja na drugaciji nacin.... što ce on zasigurno uciniti po vrlini njegove slobodne volje ako sebe izolira od Boga zbog njegove protivne volje i anti-Božanske prirode. Ova osoba ne može vjerovati buduci on to ne želi. A dati takvoj osobi nepobitan dokaz bi samo prisililo njegovu volju i vjera stecena na taj nacin bi bila potpuno beskorisna.
Razlicita mišljenja ce uvijek postojati u svijetu, to jest, medu ljudima ove Zemlje, buduci nemaju svi ljudi istu volju i svi oni ne vrednuju na isti nacin blagoslove koji teku ka njima. Ali svaki pojedinac prije ili kasnije ima priliku provesti vrijeme ozbiljno promišljajuci o Sili sa Kojom je povezan kroz život-ocuvajuci upliv snage.... On ima priliku izvuci poredenje izmedu sebe i stvari koje je On stvorio.... i izmedu njega i Onog Koji ga je stvorio. On može doci do zakljucka da ‘Bog’ Koji je stvorio sve ne može biti zanijekan i da njegovo vlastito postojanje pruža dokaz o ovom Bogu. Onda ce on biti sposoban graditi na ovoj unutarnjoj uvjerenosti i takoder smatrati Božanska otkrovenja mogucima i naknadno živjeti njegov život u skladu sa ovim otkrovenjima, što ce uvijek rezultirati u njegovom rastuce blistavom shvacanju i prema tome u neospornoj vjeri cak bez dokaza. Ljudska volja ne smije biti narušena ako ce njegov napredak na Zemlji biti uspješan, tako da ce on deificirati sebe i biti sposoban napustiti ovu Zemlju kao slobodno bice puno snage i svjetla. Medutim, volja treba biti stimulirana kako bi bila preusmjerena u ispravnom pravcu.... A ovo se dogada kroz blagoslove.... kroz sudbonosne dogadaje, kroz specificne doživljaje, tako što se ureduje susret ljudi sa drugacijim smjerom razmišljanja.... i s vremena na vrijeme sa dostavom Božanskih otkrovenja. I ako se ljudsko bice otvoreno ne opire ovim blagoslovima oni mogu imati pozitivne ucinke, i postoji mogucnost za promjenu volje u ljudskom bicu, da on nece odbaciti sve što mu je ranije izgledalo nevjerojatno, da ce on razmisliti u svezi toga.... ako je dobre volje.... da njegove misli mogu biti vodene ispravno bez prisile. Ljudsko bice jedino treba shvatiti da je on slab i malen i nesposoban dokuciti sve jedino sa njegovim razumom. Osjecaj njegove vlastite slabosti i nedostatka znanja ga može nagnati spram Sile koju on više ne može zanijekati kako je iznad njega. Ali svatko tko smatra sebe upucenim, tko precjenjuje njegov razum, nece nikada doci do Istine i mudrosti, jer on sebe ne otvara za Silu Koja bi ga željela prožeti buduci on sebe izolira od Nje. Ljudsko bice mora sebe podrediti ovoj Sili njegovom vlastitom slobodnom voljom, jedino onda ce on shvatiti odnos kojeg ima sa ovom Silom i on ce znati što on jest, što je bio i što treba iznova postati.
AMEN
TranslatorNo-one can be forced to believe; consequently it is impossible for divine revelations to be given in such a way that they cannot be doubted. But they can be recognised as divine revelations by someone with a serious will to understand, who therefore has an entirely open-minded attitude and seriously examines them. However, were people to be given irrefutable proof that they are addressed by God Himself, their thoughts and intentions would be determined by this proof.... thus it would exclude a free decision of will which, however, is the purpose and goal of life on earth. It truly would be easy for God to speak to people such that they no longer were able to doubt His existence, but in that case the purpose of earthly life would be missed, for the being's deification is an act of free will, hence free will must remain inviolable, and this excludes all absolute proof. However, it is nevertheless possible for every person to procure his own inner conviction, for as soon as his will has chosen God by consciously wanting to approach Him, God Himself will give him the evidence of His love, wisdom and omnipotence.... He will manifest Himself to him in a way that he can no longer doubt and is happy about this gained realisation. But the grace of God's manifestation is granted to every person.... Yet not every person evaluates it and attains realisation. Creation itself is already a manifestation of God, and it alone could serve the human being as living proof already, it could convince him of the eternal Creative Spirit Which manifests Itself through this creation. But even creation may not be faith-compelling evidence.... This is why the human being can also try to substantiate the emergence of creation in a different way.... which he surely will do by virtue of his free will if he isolates himself from God due to his opposing will and anti-divine nature. This person cannot believe because he does not want to. And to give such a person irrefutable proof would merely compel his will and the faith gained thereby would be totally worthless.
Different opinions will always exist in the world, that is, amongst the people of this earth, because not all people have the same will and not all of them evaluate the blessing flowing to them in the same way. But every individual sooner or later has the opportunity to spend some serious thought on a Power with Which he is connected through a life-preserving influx of strength.... He has the opportunity to draw a comparison between himself and the things He created.... and between himself and the One Who created him. He can come to the conclusion that 'a God' Who has created everything cannot be denied and that his own existence substantiates this God. Then he will be able to build upon this inner conviction and also consider God's revelations possible and subsequently live his life according to these revelations, which will always result in his increasingly brighter realisation and therefore in indisputable faith even without proof. Human will may not be infringed upon if his progress on earth is to be successful, so that he will deify himself and be able to depart from this earth as a free being full of strength and light. However, the will should be stimulated in order to be deployed in the right direction.... And this happens through blessings.... through fateful events, through particular experiences, through bringing people with different directions of thought together.... and from time to time also through conveying divine revelations. And if the human being does not openly resist these blessings they can have positive effects, and there is a possibility for a change of will in the human being, that he will not reject everything which previously seemed incredible to him, that he will think about it and.... if he is of good will.... that his thoughts can be guided correctly without coercion. The human being need only realise that he is weak and small and unable to fathom everything with his intellect alone. The feeling of his own weakness and lack of knowledge can impel him towards the Power he can no longer deny to be above him. But anyone who deems himself knowledgeable, who overestimates his intellect, will never attain truth and wisdom, for he does not open himself to the Power Which would like to permeate him because he isolates himself from It. The human being must subject himself to this Power of his own free will, only then will he realise the relationship he has with this Power and he will know what he is, what he had been and what he shall become again....
