The Truth Sets One Free
The Truth Sets One Free -
About the Correct Understanding of the Commandments
"Remaining in My word” (1). The slave of sin
is far from God and from the eternal home (2). Only the actualization of selfless love
counts before God (3-6). Satan, the father of lies; the satan of the senses (7-8). No soul
is lost (9). Only the one who strives for the truth understands the word of God (10).
Moses did not consent to animal sacrifice -
Disregarding and respecting life - The
old and the new humanity (11-13). Spiritual authorities and those who adhere to the
letter, who do not actualize what they teach - Concessions of the prophets to the people (14-18)
1. Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed in Him,
"If you remain in My word, then you are My right disciples, and you will recognize
the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (Chap. 51:1)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
"... remain in My word” means to fill the word of God with life, to actualize it. Only through the actualization of the word of God does the person find his way to the eternal truth which sets him free, irrespective of people and things.
2. Then they answered Him, "We are the seed of
Abraham, and we have never been in bondage to anyone. Why do you say: You shall become
free?” Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I say to you: The one who sins is
the servant of sin. The servant does not abide in the house forever, but the son and the
daughter remain forever. (Chap. 51:2)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
"The one who sins is a servant of sin” means that the one who sins is bound to the flesh and serves the flesh - not God. The one who serves the flesh will live in servitude because he becomes dependent on the flesh, on people who likewise depend on the flesh, because they, too, live in sin.
Recognize, "the servant of sin” is the human ego which aspires to recognition and approval and, for this reason, subjugates itself to still other sinners. The one who lives in sin lives in and with this world and also believes in this world. Therefore, his home is also this world. This is why he cannot enter into the house of the eternal Father, into the eternal home. The servant of sin cannot be in the house of the Father. Only the son and the daughter who fulfil the will of God abide in God, in the Father, who is the eternal home.
3. When the Son makes you free, you are truly free. I know well that you are Abraham's seed after the flesh; but you seek to kill Me, for My word has no place in you.
4. I speak what I have seen of My Father; and you do what you have seen of your father.” They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do Abraham's works.
5. But now, you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that. You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, "We are no bastards; we have one Father, namely, God.”
6. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you
would love Me: For I proceeded forth and came from God. I did not come of Myself, but the
All-Holy sent Me. Why can you not understand My language? Because you cannot bear My word.
(Chap. 51:3-6)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The Son, who I Am, came from the Father in order to liberate all souls and men. This is why only o n e is given power and strength to lead souls and men to the Inner Light, to God, our eternal Father - the one who left heaven for this. It is the Christ of God, who I Am.
I have the mission from God, My Father, to lead all souls and men home into their inner being, where the Father's Spirit dwells. I Am the salvation of every soul and the way to the eternal Father. No one comes to the Father, the great All-One, the only One, except through Me, Christ, who I Am, the Redeemer of all souls and men and the way into the eternal house of the Father.
The Jews said that they were Abraham's seed - and
yet did not do the good works of Abraham. They were and are from Abraham according to the
flesh only, not according to the law which Abraham, too, strove to fulfil.
The new people in the generations of the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ came, for the most part, from the seed of David. They are neither Jewish, nor Moslem, nor Hindu, nor Buddhist, nor Catholic, nor Protestant, nor Orthodox. They do not belong to any of the numerous outer religions. They are true Christians; for they fulfil the law of God which I, as Jesus of Nazareth, brought to them and lived as an example - and, as the Christ of God, reveal again in all details, in all the facets of the Inner Life, through the ray of divine wisdom. They follow Me, the only Shepherd, Christ.
The one whose words are not filled with the law of life speaks only out of his human ego - even though he uses the words of truth. That which is not filled with the life, with God, is not imbued with God, the life. This also holds true for the words of truth which are not lived by the one out of whose mouth they flow. They have no power. The one who does not live in the eternal law speaks out of his person and also bears witness, solely as a human being, possibly of his earthly parents, who likewise lived and thought according to the word of human beings.
The words "If God were your Father, you would love Me” mean that the one who loves God, his eternal Father, also loves his neighbour and all of life; for all life - whether human beings, animals, plants, stones or minerals - comes from God. The one who does not love his neighbour selflessly does not love God either.
Recognize that only the one who lives the law of life and of love can understand the language of the law.
Those who speak the language of the world and love themselves more than God can hardly bear the law of love. They understand love according to their ego, and love according to their ego, which gives only to receive. The one who is not with God is against God and thus cannot understand the language of the law, the absolute love.
7. You are of your father, the devil, and you will do as your father desires. He was a murderer from the very beginning and was not in the truth, for the truth is not in him.
8. When he tells a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a
liar and the father of lies. And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. (Chap.
51:7-8)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The words "You are of your father, the devil, and you will do as your father desires” have the following meaning:
With the word "father”, is meant here the breeder of evil, Satan, who was and is intent on tempting all people. It is the satanic, the seed and the brood of Satan, which souls and men have adopted - even after My "It is finished”. In the broadest sense, the law of sowing and reaping, the satanic law, once developed out of this. Every person who adopted the satanic, the evil, is now liable to his own law: What he sows he will reap.
The originator of evil passed himself off as male - and the demons do the same, as well - although the originator was a female principle and is eternally so in the spirit, a being from the divine stream. Through the eternal love and through the "It is finished”, she, too, will return into the primordial stream as a spirit being from God.
The words "he was a murderer from the very beginning and was not in the truth, for the truth is not in him” have the following meaning: From the beginning of the fall, Satan wanted the divine to submit to him. Since evil, the violation of the law of life, is not in the law of truth, it has no lasting power. Since evil has no place in the truth, I, the Redeemer, came and brought redemption to all souls and men, so that they could find their way back to the truth and into the truth. For everything came from the truth, and everything that belongs to the fall event will change through the law of God and return again to the truth.
The lie does not come from the truth. The one who lies does it out of himself, out of his sin, because he bears the lie, the sin, in himself. The lie is the breeder of sin.
The one who lies deceives not only his neighbour, but also himself. The lie comes from the liar and enters into the liar again. It affects not only the deceived one, but also the liar.
Satan is the originator of the lie and thus also of the senses that have been led astray. The people who fall into the hands of lies, of sin, are "those who have been led astray by the senses”, for they let themselves be led astray by Satan. The evil in man is thus called "the satan of the senses”.
Therefore, may everyone beware of lies. For its devilish offspring are many. They spread themselves out like the roots of a tree. Such a soul will return into the flesh, as long as it is still possible, until it has grasped every root, including the taproot: until it has repented, asked for forgiveness, forgiven and made amends. Then the humanness changes into the divine, step by step, and the soul returns to God.
9. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so
must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that all who look to Him, believing, are not lost,
but have eternal life. (Chap. 51:9)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The Son of Man is lifted up. My crucifixion as Jesus and My return as Christ mean that all will be lifted up through Me, for no sheep is lost. Through redemption, all souls will be lifted up again, that is, will be divine. After the purging and purification of their sins, they will return into the land of light, of eternal love, as flawless beings of light.
10. Which one among you can convict Me because of a sin?
But if I tell you the truth, why do you not believe Me? The one who is of God hears the
words of God. You do not hear them because you are not of God.” (Chap. 51:10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Only the person who does not live and think truthfully does not believe in the truth.
The one who lives in sin does not know the truth and condemns those who speak out of the truth. The one who does not know the truth does not understand the words of truth either. He will reject them as untrue, because he is not truthful and therefore labels as untrue everything that does not correspond to his conception of the truth.
But the one who strives towards the eternal truth understands the word of God, because he knows the voice of God, the truth. The one who does not know it does not hear it. Nor are his words from God, but from his human ego which talks only about itself.
In the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ, in the Kingdom of God on earth, the inhabitants of the Kingdom of God will not only hear the voice of their Father and of their heavenly brother, Christ, but they themselves will be the word of God, the law of love.
11. Then the Jews answered, saying to Him, "Are we not right that you are a Samaritan and that you are possessed by the devil?” Jesus answered, "I am not possessed by any devil, but I honour the All-Holy, and you dishonour Me. I do not seek My own glory, but the glory of God. But here is One who judges.”
12. And some of the elders and scribes of the temple came to Him, saying, "Why do your disciples instruct the people that it is against the law to eat the flesh of animals, even though they are offered as sacrifice according to the order of Moses?
13. For it is written that God said to Noah: Fear and
dread of you shall come over every animal of the field, every bird of the air and every
fish in the water, when they have fallen into your hands.” (Chap. 51:11-13)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Moses neither ordered nor condoned the sacrifice of animals. However, he did not interfere in the satanic will of those who wanted to eat meat. He taught and instructed them that the consumption as well as the sacrificing of animals is sin. But since the stubborn Israelites insisted on doing it, Moses had to be silent; for the Israelites, too, were children of God and had their free will. They saw everything only from their sin and, for this reason, considered the silence of Moses as approval.
I correct:
Words are symbols and change their meaning from one generation to the next. That which the people of a generation put into the word is the meaning for them.
And so, many words in that book which I explain, correct and deepen today for you, who live in this turn of time from the old to the New Era [1989], have another meaning again than in the past epochs. For example, the statement "God said to Noah: Fear and dread of you shall come over every animal of the field, every bird of the air and every fish in the water, when they have fallen into your hands” means: Fear and dread seizes every animal of the field, every bird of the air and every fish in the water which falls into your hands. This means the hands of those people who disregard and kill life.
Recognize that every animal senses and feels what a person intends to do with it.
In the turn of time when I explain, correct and deepen the contents of that book [1989], brutality against the animal world and the plant world has reached unimaginable proportions. The animals and the plants suffer from man's capriciousness. Many people not only lack respect for their own life, but also for the entire creation. As a result of human behaviour, the magnetic currents, for example, have been disturbed. Because of this, many animals lack orientation, especially the migratory birds which fly into warmer countries. Many animal and plant species - in the water, in the air and on earth - are becoming extinct, because of the pollution of the rivers, lakes and oceans, as well as of the earth's atmosphere.
Since a great part of mankind continues to live in sin, the old world is dying - and with it many people, who considered the temporal to be the only reality and treated life irresponsibly, are dying in great pain.
Yet, I, Christ, make all things new. The new world is My world, the world of the Christ, who I Am. In the new world, people will live who are renewed, that is, cleansed, from within, and who populate and cultivate the earth in a lawful way.
The one who will read My words in the New Era will thus learn about the shadows and the light-filled sides of the old world and about the radical change into the New Era. The old sinful world shall be a warning to the people in the New Era.
The one who then attentively reads this book, with the explanations, corrections and deepenings, receives an insight into the law of sowing and reaping which was once valid on earth. The new man should make himself aware of this again and again, since in the fine-material world, in which the burdened souls still live, the harvest, the effects of the created causes, is still going on. For, as soul, man will then reap what he has sown and has not cleared up in time or has not yet expiated. This is why it is good and important that the people of the New Era know about the processes in the spheres of purification. For after the death of the body, when the souls of the new people pass through the veils of consciousness, they will experience there those souls who still have to pay off what they have sown.
14. And Jesus said to them, "You, hypocrites, Isaiah spoke well of you and of your forefathers: These people are close to Me with their mouth, and they honour Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me; for they worship Me in vain and, in My name, teach the commandments of men as divine teachings, in order to gratify their own lusts.
15. And in like manner, Jeremiah bears witness when he says about the blood sacrifices: I, your God, commanded none of this in those days when you came out of Egypt, but I commanded you only to be righteous, to adhere to the old customs, to do justice, and to walk humbly before your God.
16. But you did not listen to Me, who from the beginning gave you all kinds of seeds, and fruits of the trees, and grains for the nourishment and for the healing of men and animals.” And they replied, "You speak against the law.”
17. And He spoke once again about Moses, "Verily, I do not speak against the law, but against those who corrupted his law, which he allowed because of the hardness of your hearts.
18. But behold! A greater One than Moses is here!”
And they flew into a rage, and picked up stones in order to throw them at Him. But Jesus
passed through their midst and was hidden from their violence. (Chap. 51:14-18)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Almost 2000 years ago, as Jesus of Nazareth I spoke to the pharisees and scribes, who clung to the letter alone and had their hearts in the world, and I called them hypocrites. And the prophet Isaiah, who announced My coming, spoke similar words as I those I spoke as Jesus of Nazareth.
Now, in the time of radical change, I, Christ, speak to My own through My instrument and have to use similar words once again for today's pharisees and scribes [1989]. Today, many pharisees and scribes, theologians, Bible experts and lay preachers still teach according to the letter of the Bible - and again, only their mouth speaks, and again, they honour Me only with their lips and with sanctimonious or intellectual prayers. Their hearts are as far from God as at My time on earth and before that, when the great prophets brought the word of God to man.
Many dignitaries still teach today in the name of the Most High and in My name; yet their words are not vivified by the eternal power, since they themselves are not imbued with the Spirit of truth.
The leaders of the official churches who teach in My name have set up an edifice of dogma in which they hide themselves, so that they do not have to face the truth. They invite their faithful into this edifice, impose these dogmatic doctrines upon them in My name and oblige them - under the threat of so-called eternal damnation - to adhere to them.
This edifice of dogma is now rotting and collapsing; it is like a house of cards, which is still held together only by outer power and outer riches - but not by Me, Christ, who I Am, the kingdom of the inner being.
For thousands of years, the name of the Eternal was taken in vain for human wheelings and dealings in many power structures. Since My "It is finished”, My name, Christ, is also taken in vain, in that My teaching, with which I make the call to follow Me, was woven into the edifice of dogma.
Thus, it can be said that the satan of the senses takes the name of the One in vain, the holy One, the eternal One, and the name of His Son, in order to lead the people astray. Yet all illusory flourishing of the human wheelings and dealings is withering away because I bring the Inner Life to man; it is the steps of the Inner Path, where neither dogma nor human laws are valid, but only the law which I, as Jesus of Nazareth, have already taught and lived: the universal, eternal law, God.
Since every person has free will, the great prophets had to practise restraint, even before My earthly existence, when the people wanted it otherwise than was the will of God which they proclaimed. Before My earthly existence, polytheism was still very alive among the people and therefore the blood sacrifice, too. This is why several prophets had to make concessions, on the one hand in order to not break the free will of the people, and on the other in order to guide them to the truth, through self-recognition. This often meant pain and grief, until people set out on the way to Him, who is from eternity to eternity.
However, every concession includes a period of grace. During that time, man receives the strength of God in order to be able to overcome what is still human in him within a short time. But if he does not make use of this and continues to sin, he will, after the period of grace is over, have to endure and suffer all the negativities he has sown and not yet atoned for.
The one whose behaviour is against God, against the law of life, has to bear what he has sown.
The farmer harvests what he sows into his acre, and man will also harvest what he puts into the acre of his soul.
With the words "to adhere to the old customs”, the following is meant:
Man should keep his hours of prayer and strive to let his prayers bear fruit every
day, by actualizing what he has prayed for. Then he will also understand and fulfil the
Ten Commandments, the excerpts from the eternal law, better and better, and will thus
mature into the all-encompassing, universal law, God.
