“The Lord Casts No One into Hell; This Is Done by the Spirit”

神不審判靈魂靈魂自身選擇舒適地方聚集善靈聚集天堂惡靈聚集地獄

• Evil spirits are severely punished in the world of spirits in order that by means of punishments they may be deterred from doing evil. This also appears to be from the Lord; and yet nothing of punishment there is from the Lord, but is from the evil itself, since evil is so joined with its own punishment that the two cannot be separated. For the infernal crew desire and love nothing so much as doing evil, especially inflicting punishments and torment upon others; and they maltreat and inflict punishments upon everyone who is not protected by the Lord. When, therefore, evil is done from an evil heart, because it thereby discards all protection from the Lord, infernal spirits rush upon the one who does the evil, and inflict punishment.

惡性

• 人一出生

• 就帶著各種惡性

• 若非與同性質的惡靈相連

• 人就無法存活

• 也無法從惡裡面

• 被引導出來

• 因而重生

The reason why spirits that communicate with hell

are also associated with man is that man is born

into evils of every kind, consequently his whole life

is wholly from evil; and therefore unless spirits like

himself were associated with him he could not live,

nor indeed could he be withdrawn from his evils

and reformed. He is therefore both held in his own

life by means of evil spirits and withheld from it by

means of good spirits; and by the two he is kept in

equilibrium; and being in equilibrium he is in

freedom, and can be drawn away from evils and

turned toward good, and thus good can be

implanted in him, which would not be possible at

all if he were not in freedom; and freedom is

possible to man only when the spirits from hell act

on one side and spirits from heaven on the other

真理

• 意念和理性

• 決定人的特質

• 只要我們意念歸於善

• 理念歸於真理

• 即會被主所愛

• 等同愛主

• 因為愛是雙向的

• 主 賦予被愛者

• 愛人的能力

智慧

• 單純的人雖然認主

• 並愛聖經

• 過靈性道德生活

• 但是內在宛如泥土

• 塑造的過程 決定品質

• 智者藉由洞察力和知識

• 開發自身內在

善歸於主

• 如果我們能了解

• 事實真相

• 就不會將 善

• 歸功於自己

• 任何善念和行善

• 將之歸於主

• 亦不會將 惡

• 歸咎於自身

Everyone in the heavens knows and

believes and even perceives that he

wills and does nothing of good from

himself, and that he thinks and believes

nothing of truth from himself, but only

from the Divine, thus from the Lord;

also that good from himself is not good,

and truth from himself is not truth,

because these have in them no life

from the Divine.

善歸於主

• 因為人並不相信

• 天堂與地獄的

• 靈流存在

• 因此 才會認為

• 所思所欲的一切

• 皆出自於自身

• 行惡時 歸咎於己

• 行善時 亦歸功於己

Moreover, the angels of the inmost heaven clearly perceive and feel the influx, and the more of it they receive the more they seem to themselves to be in heaven, because the more are they in love and faith and in the light of intelligence and wisdom, and in heavenly joy therefrom; and since all these go forth from the Divine of the Lord, and in these the angels have their heaven, it is clear that it is the Divine of the Lord, and not the angels from anything properly their own that makes heaven.
