THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UR GUILT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE WORK OF REDEMPTION

Because mankind does not know about the original fall of man, you consider that the redemption work of Jesus Christ was only a work of atonement for your human guilt. Yes, you give a verdict against His "work of redemption" because you believe that everybody has to pay his debts scrupulously, coin by coin. Were it only your guilt that you denied and are burdened with, as humans, then this point of view can be understood, but it is much more than that. lt is the immense Ur-guilt .... the fall of the spirits from Me .... a guilt that you could never expiate; that therefore can never be denied; that is the cause of the whole creation and the reason for my becoming a human being in Jesus Christ. The reason for the fall from Me was that the from-Me-created-beings could not see Me, and therefore 1 made Myself visible in Jesus Christ.

To him who only acknowledges the sin fall of the first man, it would seem incredible that a "Redeemer" was necessary for this sin. He will defend always his point of view that the people should not be punished for a sin they did not commit.

And so the sins which were committed by a man, as such, would be an offence against my love. But this is not understood by them, they live in a state of lightlessness which is the consequence of that great Ur-guilt. This Ur-sin explains everything, and as long as people don't know anything about the apostasy of the spirits, it is difficult for them to believe in the divine redeemer who died on the cross for this sin. He Himself accepted the most horrible pains and torture as an atonement-sacrifice to Me.

Therefore, every doctrine that denies the divine redeemer, which also repudiates the principle of redemption, must be rejected as a false doctrine even if this activity is presented as the propagation of the divine love doctrine.

The redemption from the Ur-guilt is at stake, which I alone could accomplish through the man Jesus; that also explains to you My incarnation because I Myself am a being that none of my creatures could see without passing-away.

Therefore, when I wished to be visible to your eyes, it could only be possible in the form of one of your equal beings, which was for you the man Jesus. Therefore it is first of all necessary to know about the occurrence of the apostasy of the beings from Me; then to understand the event of creation of the visible world. Then you must also understand the further struggle between light and darkness and then the appearance of a rescuer of mankind through Jesus Christ -- (an Ur-spirit that had not fallen, in whom I Myself was embodied) -- because there is no possible way for you to have an idea about the "all creating force".

And therefore you can and must accept a redeemer who died on the cross for the guilt of all, who prayed for the forgiveness of your guilt which cannot be granted at once. You yourself must ask HIM for it, because the fall happened in free will and therefore the return through HIM shall take place also in free will.

There must be no doubt in you that a man who strives sincerely for perfection will receive pardon of his Ur-sin as well as for all the others, so that all trespasses will be forgiven and the pardon assured.

Rarely is Jesus recognized as the Redeemer because all those false doctrines envision Him only as a man and an ascending master. They will not accept My incarnation in Him so they do not ask Him for forgiveness of all their sins. It is ONE that can release them from their guilt; only ONE has the power to write all guilt into the sand, and that is JESUS, in whom I Myself became man.

AMEN
