34. Cast All Guilt On Him
This phrase, so often used, is one of the main sedatives for all who call themselves believing Christians. Yet this remedy is a poison that produces a sort of intoxication. Like many poisons that are used in illnesses only to deaden present bodily pains and thereby bring about a seeming calm, so it is in spiritual matters with the words: “Cast all your guilt upon Him, for He has redeemed us, and by His wounds we are healed!”
Since this is accepted by the believers as one of the pillars of the ecclesiastical-Christian doctrine, it works more devastatingly among them. They base their entire inner attitude on it.
In doing so, however, they fall into a deadly embrace of blind faith, in which they can only see everything else in deep obscurity, until finally the whole picture shifts and a grey veil sinks over the Truth, so that they can only find a foothold in the artificial structure of distorting theories, which must collapse with them on the Day of Reckoning.
“Cast all guilt upon Him…!”
Foolish delusion! Like fire the Light of Truth shall drive between the ranks of false teachers and lazy believers and with consuming flames burn up all that is untruth! Comfortably do masses still bask today in the belief that all that the Saviour suffered and did was done for them. In their indolent thinking, they call it presumptuous, even impious, for anyone to imagine that they too must contribute somewhat in order to enter heaven. On this point many display an astonishing humility and modesty which, in other aspects of their lives, one would search for in vain.
According to their judgement, it would be tantamount to blasphemy to even faintly and timidly give room to the thought that the Saviour’s descent to earth and the suffering and death He thereby took upon Himself, might not yet suffice to wipe away the sins of all those humans who no longer doubt His existence on earth at that time.
“Cast on him all guilt…” they think with fervent devotion, unaware of what they are actually doing. They sleep, but their awakening will one day be terrible! Their seemingly humble faith is nothing but complacency and boundless arrogance, when they imagine that a Son of God came down, served to prepare for them the way upon which they can then mindlessly trot straight into the Kingdom of Heaven. Actually, everyone should immediately recognize its hollowness straightaway. It can only be born of indescribable complacency and recklessness – unless cunning created it as a lure for the sake of earthly advantage!
Humanity has lost itself in a thousand delusions and deceives itself with its foolish faith. What degradation of God this is!
What is humankind that it dares to expect that a God will send His only Begotten Son, that is, a Part of His own Inessentiality, so that humans may be able to cast their burden of sin upon Him, merely that they need not trouble themselves to wash their own filthy linen and to bear the dark burden they have loaded upon themselves? Woe to those who shall one day have to answer for such thoughts! It is the most brazen defilement of the Sublime Deity! Christ’s Mission was not so lowly, but majestic, pointing imperiously to the Father.
I have already pointed to the great work of redemption of the Son of God. His great Work of Love has blossomed in this World and in the Beyond, bearing fruits of all kinds. Meanwhile, however, many who were merely called by humans sought to make themselves out to be called by God, grasping with their unholy hands the pure teachings and obscuring them so deeply that they dragged them down to themselves.
Humans, who trusted them without seriously examining the very Word they taught, fell with them. The high core of Divine Truth was shrouded in earthly limitations, so that the form remained intact, yet the radiance was extinguished by the craving to earthly power and earthly advantage. Only pale twilight reigns where the brightest radiance of spiritual life should be. The jewel that Christ Jesus brought to all who long for it was stolen from the supplicating humanity. Distorted by the veil of selfish desire, seekers are shown a false path, which not only causes them to waste precious time, but very often even drives them into the arms of darkness.
False doctrines sprang up rapidly. They overgrew the simplicity, the Truth, hiding them beneath a dazzling garment. Like poisonous plants, this garment emits a splendour that stupefies all who approach, causing the faithful to become complacent and ultimately extinguish their vigilance. With this, every possibility of ascending to the True Light is also extinguished! Once again the great cry of Truth shall resound over all lands. Then, however, comes the reckoning for everyone through the fate they have woven for themselves. Humanity will finally receive what it has persistently advocated up that point. They will have to live through all the errors they have strove to establish or chose to pursue in their desires or presumptuous thoughts. For many, a wild howling and the gnashing of teeth will follow, driven by fear, wrath, and despair.
Those, therefore, who are grievously afflicted by this evil and rejected by the judgement shall then suddenly perceive it as injustice and harshness when they are thrust into a reality that they had previously wanted to recognize in their earthly life as the only true one, and by which they likewise constantly judged their fellow neighbour. Then God should still help them, to whom they stood with such boundless arrogance! They will implore Him, cry out to Him, expecting that, in His Divinity, He will easily forgive even the worst 'ignorant' little human. He will suddenly be far too ‘great’ in their opinion to be able to bear such a thing. He Whom they have belittled all this time!
Yet He will not hear them, will no longer help them, because they did not want to listen to His Word, which He sent to them beforehand! And therein lies Justice, which can never be separated from His great Love.
It was the duty of humans to examine the Word itself, which He gave them. Even if they did not want to acknowledge His messengers as such. Thundering it will therefore resound to them: “You did not want to! Therefore are you now destroyed and blotted out in the Book of Life!”
