EARTHLY LAWS AND THE NATURAL LAWS

The Living Laws of God in Creation work quite independently on their own, uninfluenced by earthly-human laws and conceptions. If we think about it carefully we will realise that real guilt cannot be redeemed through a paid penalty worked out and dictated by the machinations of men and their laws. 

 

For example, the earthly laws will not punish anyone for thinking in a particular way so far as they have not carried out such intentions in visible actions. However before the Natural Laws, our thoughts are recognised as reality, as having a form for which we bear responsibility.

So if you are in the corner of your room indulging in evil thoughts and you feel comfortable that no policeman can arrest you for this, be rest assured that unseen servants of the Most High are recording everything and you will be answerable before the Natural Laws.

 

IS THERE SIN THAT HAS NO FORGIVENESS?

Yes there is a sin that has no forgiveness. It is the sin of refusing to accept the Gift brought by the Holy Spirit in the Word of Salvation. He who refuses to accept the Word of God as salvation will be cast out for all eternity.

 

When Christ saw how He was being treated with scorn and rejection, He started proclaiming the coming of Another who will reprove the world of sin and righteousness, Who will remind men of Him. He also said that this occurrence comes hand in hand with the Judgment. So we see that this Special One comes with the Gift of the Word of God to men and all those who refuse to accept shall themselves be rejected in the ensuing Judgement. On the other hand, all those who accept this Messenger sent by God are like the wise virgins who will enter with the Bridegroom while those who reject the Word of God are like the foolish virgins who will be rejected.

 

FORGIVENESS OF SINS

 

The Laws of Creation covers everything and therefore in their operation they provide for mercy and forgiveness!




A person who has hitherto been enmeshed in wrongdoing only needs to turn a new leaf, forsake his evil ways and make a firm decision to turn his back on sin. Once this happens he does not add to the number of sins he has to redeem. That is number one. Secondly, with his decision for what is good, and a steadfast resolution to continuously obey the Will of the Almighty, another process of great importance comes into force. The good becomes second nature to him, emerges from him and then forms a protective covering around him.




Now when evil reactions from the past return to this man to be re­deemed, they slide off the purity of his surrounding or protection, and are thus deflected from him.




But should they nevertheless penetrate this protective covering, the evil radia­tions either crumble to pieces immediately or are at least substantially weakened so that the harmful effect cannot manifest at all, or only to a very minor extent.




Furthermore, because of his inner transformation, the man has become more refined and lighter so that he will no longer be able to attract to himself the returning evil currents. For example, radio that is not tuned to a particular station cannot receive transmissions from there. Naturally therefore, the denser currents because they are different from the repentant man and his surroundings pass harmlessly through without evil effect, redeemed by some un­conscious symbolic action.

What is the purpose of man’s life on earth?

The human spirit does not originate from this earth but came here from the Spiritual Sphere also known as Paradise.

Man starts out as a spiritual seed, which has the prospect of developing into a fully matured human spirit. In order to attain to this maturity, the human spirit seed had to be expelled from Paradise onto the earth which serves as a school.

It arrives on earth as unconscious human spirit seed in the hope that eventually during its sojourn at these lower parts of Creation it will learn about the Will of God and follow God’s Commandments; this being the way to attain the maturity that will lead it upwards to Paradise from where it originates in the first place.

 

So in summary, man is on earth in order to gain from the experiences of life. He gains maturity thereby and this then leads it back home. That is the purpose of life on earth. Man should therefore value this period of life on earth, waste no time but use same for the necessary maturing. The period of learning described here is indeed a Grace and Gift from the Almighty! Man has to show appreciation for this grace by seeking always to find out and then do the Will of his Maker.

 

 

What can we understand by the words: “visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation ...”?

A simplistic interpretation of these words can lead to the thought that the Creator will punish descendants of a sinner even if those descendants are innocent of the sins of their ancestors.

If a person can be made to pay for the iniquities of another then it means that a person can reap what he has not sown! This is however an impossibility as the Laws of Creation will not allow such a thing to happen.      

                   

The scripture quoted can be found in Deuteronomy 5:9. The scripture when read in full is to the effect that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate the Almighty. So it is clear from this that those who do not abide by the Laws of the Almighty are regarded as enemies of God. Such will reap the fruits of their actions and omissions. If their children follow them in such disobedience they too will suffer the fate similar to that of their parents.

This brings us to yet another Law of Creation. The Law of like attracts like. This law ensure that only what is spiritually similar are attracted to each other. So it happens that many a parent who is counted among the enemies of God will also attract similar souls from among the souls waiting for an opportunity to incarnate on earth. So, like father like son, the hatred for God is perpetrated and all concerned face a terrible fate unless they change their ways.

We should also be careful of what we tell our children when they make enquiries about spiritual matters. For example when you tell your child that the dead are resting in peace you have misled that child! The child may believe the parent, base his whole life on this wrong belief and pass it onto his own children. When this first child leaves the flesh and realises that there is indeed continuous activity for the soul, it will not only regret having held such wrong beliefs but he will have to experience how his own son passes the wrong belief to the future generations. He will be held fast to them by this guilt until at last one of his descendants come to a better understanding!

Now, we are the time when the Gospel of Pure Truth is being disseminated once more on earth. He, who turns a deaf ear to the Message from above, marks himself among the enemies of God. Let us therefore be on our guard, lest we also be found among such!

IS THERE REALLY A BASTARD CHILD?

Under a number of earthly laws, legitimacy is the status of a child born to parents who are legally married to each other and of a child who is born shortly after the parents' divorce. On the other hand, illegitimacy (or being a bastard) is the status of a child conceived outside wedlock.

The consequences of illegitimacy were predominantly in relation to rights of inheritance to the presumed father's estate as well as being entitled to bear the father's name or title. It also had consequences on the right of the mother and child to obtain support from the alleged father. Today however, many countries including have through legislation abolished any legal disabilities of a child born out of wedlock.

Apart from the legal angle, let us seek deeper insights on this matter in the light of the Eternal Laws of God. We are not here for the first time as all of us have experienced past earth lives. By the workings of the Natural Laws, the condition into which one is born at this time depends on the way one has lived in past earth lives. The time of birth and the circumstance into which each one is born is carefully guided by the operations of the Natural Laws. This ensures that we are born into conditions which will achieve what our souls need for their redemption and further development.

Apart from the child who is offered an avenue to develop by being born to this world, all those who are close to the child stand to benefit from the newcomer. Parents, brothers and sisters if any and those that come in contact with this child are offered an opportunity to be blessed. They can take these tremendous opportunities to redeem their own past misdeeds through acts of love towards the child. This can be by taking good care of the child, educating him and nursing him in sickness. It can also be by showing the child good example which of course can help one to drop bad habits.

If we consider what has been stated thus far and that the purpose of our emergence on earth is to gain the necessary maturity that will lead us back to our spiritual origin, then childbirth will have a deeper meaning to us. We shall be compelled to regard each birth as a blessing from above offering the person born and all those who are connected with him an opportunity to advance spiritually.

Instead of dwelling on the circumstance or how a child is born, we should rather show gratitude to God for the mercies He grants anew with every single birth!

IS IT CORRECT TO REGARD A PERSON AS AN OUTCAST?

Generally speaking an outcast is a person who is rejected or cast out from home or society, or in some way excluded, looked down upon, isolated, rejected, or ignored.

Aside this general description, there are various caste systems world over under which some people in a particular society are regarded as freeborn and another group of people are considered inferior. In certain extreme cases some people in the same society are regarded as outcasts or untouchables. These systems can be borne out of a religious belief in which case, the caste system remains despite all modernization. In other cases the system operates to create societal divisions based on occupation and ethnic ties.

All of these forms of discrimination cannot be supported by the Laws of God which only promote love and justice and regards all men as equals! Where such tyrannical caste or social structures are found, there you have on display the reign of terror devised by the calculations of man.

To regard a fellow human soul as an outcast just because he is born to a certain class of society is an evidence of a lack of love. If such attitude is based on religious beliefs then its followers cannot make a valid claim to recognize the Almighty Who is Love.

And where a society is divided into classes, it is better not to have one class above the other. Such oppressive social structures that places one group of society above another only brings about disharmony and unrest. The so called high class people will be arrogant and the lower classes will be discontented and even bitter. Social tensions, crime and general insecurity are some of the results of this unsustainable structure.

Where man adheres to the Laws of his Maker, then there will be sincere love amongst the peoples and no one will be discriminated against by virtue of the circumstance of his birth. And where there has to be a class structure, then each class will stand side by side, giving and receiving from each other in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

When all is said and done, the real outcasts are those creatures who out of stubbornness continuously disobey the Laws of God. They indulge in sin and revel in harming their fellow men. It does not matter if these people adhere to a religion believing that they can ask for forgiveness at the last moment. Unless they repent now, and continually do the Will of the Almighty, they shall be considered by the Laws of God as outcasts belonging to the Darkness who shall be cast out from the Light and denied the grace of eternal life!
