Yet only those persons can call him by that name who do not know what was customary, in earlier times, in connection with Initiate-teachings of this sort. Only in our days has it become customary for people to record everything, as quickly as possible, in writing. Whatever was contained in the holiest Truth was preserved from publicity, in those days. One to whom such a Truth was to be entrusted was first scrutinised carefully. Only within the esoteric Schools was this Truth passed on from mouth to mouth—and only to such persons as could really value it aright. Thus it was that these particular teachings of esoteric Christianity were likewise handed down from man to man—till, finally, some of them were written down during the sixth century. Since it was customary for the leaders of such a School to always bear the name of Dionysius, the leader of this School at Athens, during the sixth century, therefore also bore this name—the same name which had been borne by his great predecessor at Athens, the friend of Paul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Sin Against the Holy Ghost and the Ideal of Christian Grace","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-03-17","location":null,"word_count":195,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/97/1907-03-17/p005","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Christian Mystery","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA097/English/Singles/19070317p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.

Man spricht sogar von einem falschen Dionysius, weil man sagt, daß man nicht nachweisen könne, daß irgend etwas von diesen Lehren damals niedergeschrieben wurde. Pseudo-Dionysius nennt man den, der im 6. Jahrhundert diese Esoterik gelehrt hat. Nur diejenigen sagen das, die nicht wissen, was mit solchen intimen Lehren in alter Zeit üblich war. Erst in unserer Zeit ist es üblich geworden, daß jeder nicht schnell genug alles der Schrift anvertrauen kann. Was die heiligste Wahrheit war, das hat man in alten Zeiten vor Veröffentlichung bewahrt. Man hat sich den erst angesehen, dem man sie sagte. Nur in der esoterischen Schule, nur von Person zu Person wurde sie gelehrt, wenn diese sie auch wirklich würdigen konnte. So wurden auch die Lehren des esoterischen Christentums von Mensch zu Mensch übertragen und einige im 6. Jahrhundert aufgeschrieben. Weil es üblich war, daß der Vorsteher einer solchen Schule immer den Namen Dionysius trug, deshalb trug der Vorsteher dieser Schule in Athen im 6. Jahrhundert auch diesen Namen, den nämlichen wie sein großer Vorfahre in Athen, der Freund des Paulus. Im Sinne dieser esoterischen Schule, wirklich wie es da gelehrt worden ist, wollen wir den Begriff der Sünde wider den Heiligen Geist oder eigentlich des Lästerns wider den Heiligen Geist und den Begriff der christlichen Gnade betrachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/97/1907-03-17/p004"}],"english":["GA 97/1907-03-17/p005","GA 97/1907-03-17/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":236,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.22,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4694,"original_word_count":3850,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Christian Mystery","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA097/English/Singles/19070317p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
