5 Mosebog 17

1 Du må ikke ofre HE EN din Gud en Okse eller et Stykke Småkvæg, som har nogen Lyde, nogen som helst Fejl; thi det er HE EN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.

2 Når der et steds i din Midte inden dine Porte, som HE EN din Gud vil give dig, findes nogen, Mand eller Kvinde, der gør, hvad der er ondt i HE EN din Guds Øjne, og overtræder hans Pagt,

3 idet han går hen og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem, Solen, Månen eller Himmelens hele Hær, hvad jeg ikke har pålagt eder,

4 og det bliver dig meldt, så du får det af høre, da skal du omhyggeligt undersøge Sagen, og hvis det viser sig, at det virkelig forholder sig således, at der er øvet en sådan Vederstyggelighed i Israel,

5 da skal du føre Manden eller Kvinden, som har øvet denne Udåd, ud til Byporten, hvad enten det nu er en Mand eller en Kvinde, og stene dem til Døde.

6 to eller tre Vidners Udsagn skal Dødsdommen udføres; den må ikke udføres på et enkelt Vidnes Udsagn.

7 Vidnernes Hånd skal først løfte sig imod ham for at slå ham ihjel, siden alle de andres Hånd. Således skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.

8 Når en etssag angående Blodsudgydelse eller et Ejendomsspørgsmål eller Legemsskade, når i det hele en eller anden etstrætte inden dine Porte er dig for vanskelig, skal du stå op og drage til det Sted, HE EN din Gud udvælger,

9 og henvende dig til Levitpræsterne og den Dommer, som er der til den Tid, og spørge dem til åds, så skal de give dig til Hen, hvorledes der skal dømmes i Sagen.

10 Og du skal rette dig efter den Afgørelse, de giver dig til kende fra det Sted, HE EN udvælger, og omhyggeligt handle efter alt det, som de lærer dig.

11 Efter den Vejledning, de giver dig, og efter den Kendelse, de kundgør dig, skal du handle uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra, hvad de giver dig til Kende.

12 Og den Mand, der formaster sig til ikke at lyde Præsten, som gør Tjeneste der for HE EN din Gud, eller Dommeren, den Mand skal , og du skal udrydde det onde af Israel.

13 Og det skal høres i hele Folket, så de gribes af Frygt og ikke mere handler formasteligt.

14 Når du kommer ind i det Land, HE EN din Gud vil give dig, og får taget det i Besiddelse og fæstet Bo der, og du så får den Tanke, at du vil have en Konge over dig ligesom alle de andre Folk rundt om dig,

15 så må du kun sætte den Mand til Konge over dig, som HE EN din Gud udvælger. Af dine Brødres Midte skal du tage dig en konge. En fremmed, der ikke hører til dine Brødre, må du ikke tage til konge over dig.

16 Kun må han ikke holde mange Heste og sende Folket tilbage til Ægypten for at skaffe sig mange Heste; thi HE EN har jo sagt til eder: "I må ikke mere vende tilbage ad den Vej!"

17 Heller ikke må han have mange Hustruer, for at hans Hjerte ikke skal forledes til Frafald, og han må ikke samle sig Sølv og Guld i Overflod.

18 Når han så har sat sig på Tronen, skal han skaffe sig en Afskrift af denne Lov hos Levitpræsterne;

19 og han skal have den hos sig og læse i den alle sine Levedage, at han kan lære at frygte HE EN sin Gud, så han tager Vare på alle denne Lovs Ord og på disse Anordninger og holder dem,

20 for at hans Hjerte ikke skal hovmode sig over hans Brødre eller vige til højre eller venstre fra Budet, at han og hans Sønner i lange Tider må have Kongemagten i Israel.

505. The third experience. 1

I once heard a noise as of two mill-stones grinding together. I approached the sound, and it ceased. I saw a narrow doorway leading downwards and at an angle towards a building with a vaulted roof; it had a number of rooms each divided into small cells. In each of the cells sat two people collecting passages from the Word in support of justification by faith alone; one collected the passages and the other wrote them out, and they took turns to do this.

I went up to one cell which was near the entrance and asked: 'What are you collecting and writing out?'

'Passages,' they said, 'about the act of justification or faith in action, the faith which is the real one, and justifies, quickens and saves. It is the leading doctrine of the church in our part of Christendom.'

'Tell me,' I said to him then, 'some sign of that act, when that faith is introduced into a person's heart and soul.'

'The sign of that act,' he answered, 'is at the moment when a person smitten with grief at the thought of being damned, and being in a state of contrition, thinks about Christ taking away the damnation imposed by the law, confidently grasps this merit of His, and keeping this in his thoughts approaches God the Father and prays.'

[2] 'The act does so take place,' I said, 'and there is this moment. But how am I to understand,' I asked, 'what is said about this act, that nothing on man's part assents to it, any more than he would assent if he were a block of wood or a stone? Man, as it is said, with regard to that act can begin nothing, will or understand or think nothing, perform no act or contribute to any joint act, or fit or adjust himself. Tell me how this squares with your assertion that the act arises at the time when a person thinks about the enforcement of the law, about the taking away of his damnation by Christ, about the confidence with which he seizes Christ's merit, and with these thoughts in mind approaches God the Father and prays. Surely all of these are acts done by the person?'

'Yes,' he said, 'but they are not done by him actively, but passively.'

[3] 'How,' I answered, 'can anyone think, have confidence and pray passively? If you take away his activity and co-operation, do you not also take away his capacity to receive, and so everything is lost together with the act itself? What then does your act become but something purely imaginary, what is called a point of argument? I hope that you do not follow certain people in believing that such an act only takes place with those who are predestined, and know nothing of the faith being poured into them. They could just as well play at dice to determine whether faith was poured into them or not. Therefore, my friend, you should believe that man as regards faith and charity acts of himself under the Lord's guidance, and without this act on his part this act of faith of yours, which you called the leading doctrine of the church in Christendom, is no more than Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt, which rings as pure salt when struck with a scribe's quill or with his fingernail (Luke 17:32). I have said this because you are making yourselves with regard to this act like such statues.'

When I said this, he took hold of the lamp-stand to hurl it with all the force in his hand in my face. But the lamp suddenly went out and he threw it in his companion's face, while I went away amused.
