Und er nahm sie von ihren Händen und entwarf es mit einem Griffel und machte ein gegossen Kalb. Und sie sprachen: Das sind deine Götter, Israel, die dich aus Ägyptenland geführet haben!
2 Mose第32章:4
Canons of the New Church#32
32. THE HOLY SPIRIT [UNIVERSALS] 1
2 I. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE DIVINE THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE ONE, INFINITE, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, AND OMNIPRESENT GOD.
II. IN ITS ESSENCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THAT GOD HIMSELF, BUT IN THE THINGS SUBORDINATE TO HIM WHERE IT IS RECEIVED IT IS THE DIVINE PROCEEDING.
III. THE DIVINE, CALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT, PROCEEDS FROM THAT GOD HIMSELF BY MEANS OF HIS HUMAN, COMPARATIVELY AS THAT WHICH PROCEEDS FROM A MAN, THAT IS, WHAT HE TEACHES AND PERFORMS, FROM HIS SOUL BY MEANS OF HIS BODY.
IV. THE DIVINE, CALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT, PROCEEDING FROM GOD BY MEANS OF HIS HUMAN, PASSES THROUGH THE ANGELIC HEAVEN, AND THROUGH THIS INTO THE WORLD, THUS THROUGH ANGELS INTO MEN.
V. THENCE IT PASSES THROUGH MEN TO MEN, AND, IN THE CHURCH, CHIEFLY THROUGH THE CLERGY TO THE LAITY; THAT WHICH IS HOLY IS CONTINUALLY GIVEN, AND IT DRAWS BACK IF THE LORD IS NOT APPROACHED.
VI. THE DIVINE PROCEEDING, CALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN ITS OWN SPECIAL SENSE, IS THE HOLY WORD, AND IN THIS, THE DIVINE TRUTH.
VII. ITS OPERATION IS INSTRUCTION, REFORMATION, AND REGENERATION, AND IN CONSEQUENCE VIVIFICATION AND SALVATION.
VIII. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANYONE RECOGNIZES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE DIVINE TRUTH THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE LORD, HE RECOGNIZES AND ACKNOWLEDGES GOD, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANYONE DOES THIS DIVINE TRUTH, HE IS IN THE LORD AND THE LORD IS IN HIM.
IX. SPIRIT, IN THE CASE OF A MAN, IS INTELLIGENCE AND WHATEVER PROCEEDS THEREFROM.
脚注:
1. The following is written here in the original, but crossed out:
"Universals. Special attributes, not general or communicable. Alternative, essential attributes."
2. A draft of headings for this section is found in the Nordenskjold manuscript at the end of the section on "The Lord the Redeemer", as follows:
"The Holy Spirit is the Divine that proceeds from the One Infinite God; and it is the operation and virtue proceeding from God [by means of the Human, which] was taken on in the world.
It proceeds out of the Lord and from God the Father.
It proceeds to the clergy and from them to the laity.
It proceeds from the Lord by means of the Word.
It is the Divine virtue and operation that is meant by the Holy Spirit: this is renewal, reformation, regeneration, and following these, vivification, sanctification, and justification, and following these, purification from evils, remission of sins, and salvation.
By a man's spirit is meant his intelligence, and so it is also his virtue and operation proceeding from that.
The Holy Spirit is the Divine operation and virtue proceeding from the One God.
It proceeds out of the Lord from God the Father, and not the reverse.
It is operation and virtue that is understood . . . .
The end-in-view of this operation by the Lord through the Word.
It is an inflowing into men who believe in the Lord, and, if in accordance with order, into the clergy and so by means of them to the laity."
In the Skara Manuscript the last five of these propositions are, with some combination and modification, added to the nine "universals" above, making twelve in all, and numbered accordingly.
