We know what an incisive significance it had in the Christianity of St. Paul. Our present age, however, is not well adapted for gaining a really deep inner understanding of the wider connections between the concepts “death and sin” and “death and immortality” which are to be found in Paul's writings. That cannot be expected in our materialistic times. Let us recall what I said in the first lecture of this course, that there can be no true immortality of the human soul without a continuation of consciousness after death. An ending of consciousness with death would be equivalent to the fact, which would then have to be accepted, that man is not immortal. An unconscious continuance of man's being after death would mean that the most important part of him, that which makes him a man, would not exist after death. An unconscious human soul surviving after death would not mean much more than the sum of atoms which, as materialism recognizes, remain even when the human body is destroyed.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Christ's Cosmic Judgment: Karma, Guilt, and Earth Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wir wissen ja, welch einschneidende Bedeutung die Begriffe von Schuld und Sünde haben etwa im Christentum des Paulus. Wir müssen allerdings sagen, unser gegenwärtiges Zeitalter ist wenig geneigt, ein wirklich tiefes inneres Verständnis zu haben für den weiteren Zusammenhang auch, der uns bei Paulus entgegentritt zwischen den Begriffen Schuld und Sünde und Tod und Unsterblichkeit. Aber das liegt im Materialismus unserer Zeit begründet. Wir brauchen uns nur an die Worte zu erinnern, die ich in der ersten Betrachtung, die ich hier anstellte, gesagt habe: daß ja eine Unsterblichkeit der Menschenseele ohne die Fortsetzung des Bewußtseins hinaus in die Zustände nach dem Tode keine wahre Unsterblichkeit bedeuten würde. Eine Beendigung des Bewußtseins mit dem Tode würde gleichbedeutend sein mit der Tatsache, die man dann annehmen müßte: daß eben der Mensch eigentlich nicht unsterblich sei. Denn des Menschen Wesenheit unbewußt fortbestehend nach dem Tode würde bedeuten, daß das Allerwichtigste, das, was den Menschen zum Menschen macht, nach dem Tode nicht bestehen würde. Und eine unbewußte Menschenseele, die den Tod überdauern würde, würde ja sozusagen nicht viel mehr bedeuten als die Summe von Atomen, welche auch der Materialismus annimmt, die bleiben sollen, auch wenn der menschliche Leib zerstört wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1914-07-15/p003"}],"english":["GA 155/1914-07-15/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":223,"en_words":199,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 155/1914-07-15/p003"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5920,"original_word_count":6440,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Charles Davy","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Christ and the Human Soul","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA155/English/RSP1972/19140715p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
