Man does not only have the material side, which he receives through his father and mother. Man is essentially a spiritual being. God created man by using matter – the dust of the ground – and breathed His spirit into him. Man became a living soul, i.e. a mental, thinking being, unlike animals (comp. Gen 1-3).
Original sin, a spiritual poison, entered the soul of man through the violation of God’s commandment. Man became guilty of disobeying God, the Supreme Being. At the same time, he opened himself to another spiritual being, the devil.
The essence of the genetic code of evil in the human soul is turning away from God and deifying oneself. This egocentrism is in its final stage an identification with the spirit of lies and evil, that is, the devil. The devil’s seed is an intrinsic part of the human ego. It is so-called original sin, or the spiritual root, or the deposit of evil in our soul. From the ego proceeds all the evil that has ever been and will ever be present in humanity. The source of evil in man is a deep mystery; it transcends time and does not cease to exist with the death of either the individual or humanity. The so-called superego, or the human spirit, is intimately connected to the soul. It is kept as if in the prison of the soul (psyche), which is infected with the spiritual poison of original sin and with a self-destructive programme. This poison darkens the mind and makes it unable to recognize the truth, especially the spiritual truth. The will is inclined to evil.
The deposit of evil in the soul, i.e. original sin, is programmed for gradual spiritual suicide. By contrast, the God-given goal for every person is eternal life in perfect happiness. The human spirit longs for God, the source of truth and eternal love. Little by little, the genetic code of evil suppresses conscience, i.e. God’s voice in the soul. Covertly, through lies and self-deception, it pursues its goal – emancipation or separation from God. Egocentrism results in eternal death, that is, separation from the Source of truth and happiness. This state of separation of the human spirit from God is the essence of the eternal suffering we call hell. The devil is an evil spirit, a liar and a murderer (Jn 8:44), an enemy of the human race. Original sin, the source of evil in us, manifests itself in egocentrism. It is the unwillingness or rather the inability to admit the truth. When a person is shown a mistake or an evil he has caused, he feels offended, takes revenge, becomes angry or even furious. He knows how to cover up his guilt with some good, at least an apparent one, or he throws the blame on someone else, even on God. The truth humbles and convicts man, therefore he hates the truth. But the truth sets us free from the bondage of lies and various addictions. And confessing the truth is also a condition for the forgiveness of sins. That is why everyone must start the path of truth from himself. We can call this process a change of thinking or, in other words, biblical metanoia. The thinking of the old self is self-centred; it does not seek the truth, even if this truth leads to eternal happiness.
The new way of thinking is based on God’s truth – on the Gospel (Mk 1:15), which connects us vertically with God. God’s truth applies in particular to our existence, our purpose in life and the meaning of our life. It is concentrated in our redemption and deliverance, that is, in the person of our Saviour. Instead of egocentrism, we accept Theocentrism and Christocentrism. God, our Father and Creator, becomes the centre of our life and we accept the salvation given by Him and the love that is in His Son, Jesus Christ. In Hebrew, the name Yehoshua means that God is my Saviour. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, received this name when He came in the fullness of the time to take upon Himself our human nature. He has given us the programme of life, which is His Gospel. After completing His work of salvation, dying on the cross in disgrace, He gave us His Spirit. Through baptism we received God’s life. We became God’s children (Jn 1). Through baptism we were mysteriously immersed in the moment of Christ’s death in time, and through baptism we were also made partakers of His new life, the life of the risen Christ. We will experience this fullness of resurrection only beyond time, that is, after our physical death, at the end of history at the Second Coming of Christ. Then our material body will not only be revived, but also transformed into the image of Christ’s resurrected body. Through the intervention of God’s omnipotence during Christ’s resurrection, physical laws were subordinated to higher, spiritual laws. ...
