Today it comes to expression in the fact that we have a natural science and accounts of history both of which are ahrimanic and they consequently present cultural development and historical events *their* way. The very nature of concepts developed on this basis excludes the Christ impulse. In these concepts Ahriman must inevitably work because he works in man. With concepts such as these it is indeed possible to evolve a philosophy of life which includes a general concept of God but they can never lead to an understanding of Christ. Christ may be spoken of but is not understood. That is the case even in a philosopher like Lotze.[^1] And Harnack,[^2] having no ideas of his own on the subject, mentions the name of Christ only because it appears in religious documents in the Bible and so on. Other theologians fail to speak of the real Christ for similar reasons. Thus Harnack's Christ has no other attributes than those applicable to a universal Godhead; or he may go to the other extreme and simply describe the man Jesus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Für unsere Zeit kommt es dadurch zum Vorschein, daß wir auf der einen Seite die ahrimanische Naturwissenschaft und die ahrimanische Geschichte haben, die den Gang der Kulturentwickelung und die Geschichte in ihrer Art darstellen, und daß diese anderseits mit ihren Begriffen — das aber sind diejenigen Begriffe, in denen Ahriman wirken muß, weil in uns Ahriman eben wirkt — den Christus-Impuls ausschließen. Es kann eine Philosophie, wie ich das schon einmal erwähnte, zwar zu einem allgemeinen Gottes-Begriff kommen, aber nie zu einem Christus-Begriff; den kann man aufnehmen, weil er einmal da ist, aber man kann nicht zu ihm kommen. Selbst bei einem Philosophen wie Lotze finden Sie ihn nicht. Und Harnack dürfte gar nicht von dem Christus sprechen, weil innerhalb seines Denkens der Christus-Begriff gar nicht auftritt; er spricht nur deshalb davon, weil er ihn in den Urkunden, in der Bibel und so weiter findet. Und in ähnlicher Weise dürften andere Theologen nicht von Christus sprechen. Daher ist auch das, was Harnack als den Christus schildert, mit keinen anderen Eigenschaften ausgestattet, als mit denen der allgemeinen Gottheit, oder, wenn er wieder nach der anderen Seite schwankt, finden wir bei ihm nur den bloßen Menschen Jesus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":204,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/176/1917-08-14/p022"}],"english":["GA 176/1917-08-14/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":204,"en_words":187,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5540,"original_word_count":5878,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Rita Stebbing","identified_edition":"AP1985","book_title":"The Karma of Materialism","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA176/English/AP1985/19170814p01.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.
