Mungu aliwaumba wanadamu, lakini Anapokuja kwa ulimwengu wa wanadamu, watu hutaka kumpinga na humfukuza kutoka kwa eneo lao, kana kwamba Yeye ni yatima fulani tu, akielea duniani, au kama mtu wa dunia asiye na nchi. Hakuna mtu anayehisi kumpenda Mungu sana, hakuna mtu anayempenda kweli, hakuna mtu ambaye amekaribisha kuja kwake. Badala Yake, wanapoona kuja kwa Mungu, kufumba na kufumbua nyuso zao za furaha huwa na huzuni, kana kwamba dhoruba ya ghafula inakaribia, kana kwamba Mungu angeondoa raha ya familia zao, kana kwamba Mungu hakuwahi kamwe kuwabariki wanadamu, lakini badala yake Alikuwa Amewapa wanadamu taabu. Kwa hivyo, katika akili za wanadamu, Mungu si mwandani kwao, lakini Yule ambaye daima huwalaani; kwa hivyo, wanadamu hawamtilii maanani, hawamkaribishi, kila mara wao huwa hasimu Kwake, na hili halijawahi kubadilika kamwe. Kwa sababu wanadamu wana mambo haya katika mioyo yao, Mungu asema wanadamu hawana akili na ni waovu, na kwamba hata hisia ambazo wanadamu kwa kuwazia wamejizatiti nazo haziwezi kuonekana ndani yao. Wanadamu hawadhihirishi fikira yoyote kwa hisia za Mungu, lakini hutumia kinachoitwa “haki” kumshughulikia Mungu. Wanadamu wamekuwa hivi kwa miaka mingi na kwa sababu hii Mungu amesema tabia yao haijabadilika. Hili linaonyesha wazi kwamba hawana dutu linalozidi manyoya machache. Inaweza kusemwa kwamba wanadamu ni wanyonge wasio na thamani kwa sababu hawajithamini. Kama hata hawajipendi, bali hujikandamiza, hili halionyeshi kwamba hawana thamani? Wanadamu ni kama mwanamke mwovu ambaye hujihadaa na ambaye hujitoa kwa wengine kwa hiari kuingiliwa bila heshima. Lakini hata hivyo, bado hawajui vile walivyo duni. Wao hufurahia kuwatumikia wengine, au kuzungumza na wengine, kujiweka chini ya utawala wa wengine; huu kweli si uchafu wa wanadamu? Ingawa Sijapitia maisha miongoni mwa wanadamu, kwa vile Sijapitia kweli maisha ya binadamu, Nina ufahamu kamili wa kila mwendo, kila hatua, kila neno, na kila kitendo cha mwanadamu. Naweza hata kuwaweka wanadamu wazi mpaka waaibike kabisa, kiasi cha kutoweza tena kuthubutu kuonyesha hila zao na kutoweza tena kuthubutu kujiachilia kwa tamaa zao. Kama konokono ambaye hurudi ndani ya kombe lake, hawathubutu tena kuonyesha hali zao mbaya. Kwa sababu wanadamu hawajijui, dosari yao kubwa sana ni kuonyesha kwa hiari haiba yao mbele ya wengine, wakionyesha sura yao mbaya; Hiki ni kitu ambacho Mungu hukichukia zaidi. Kwa sababu mahusiano kati ya watu si ya kawaida, na hakuna mahusiano ya kawaida ya mtu mmoja na mwingine kati ya watu, sembuse uhusiano wa kawaida kati yao na Mungu. Mungu amesema mengi sana, na kwa kufanya hivyo lengo Lake kuu ni kumiliki nafasi ndani ya mioyo ya wanadamu, kuwafanya watu waondoe sanamu zote ndani ya mioyo yao, ili Mungu aweze kuwatawala wanadamu wote na Atimize lengo Lake la kuwa duniani.

People Do Not Know How Lowly They Are

I

Inside the minds of human beings, God is One who always curses them. And so they do not pay heed to Him; they have always been cold toward Him. So God says they are immoral and they are unreasonable because of their hearts’ misconceptions; they’re even lacking real human feelings.

II

Man cares nothing for God’s feelings, but uses so-called “righteousness” to deal with Him. Man’s been like this for many years; his disposition has not changed. Man does not treasure himself, so he’s called wretched and worthless. Devoid of self-love, with only self-harm, does this not show his worthlessness?

III

Humanity is like a wicked woman who plays herself and gives herself away to willingly be violated, yet man doesn’t see his lowliness. The kind of pleasure that he finds is in working for, speaking with others, thus being delivered into their hands; is this not mankind’s filthiness?

IV

Since he doesn’t know himself, his desire to show off his charms and his ugly face is his greatest flaw that God detests the most. There are no proper relations between people, so how could there be a proper relationship with God? God has spoken so much to mankind, so He can live in people’s hearts, so they can be free of all their idols that have taken up residence there. And then God can wield His power over all of humanity, and He can accomplish the purpose of the existence of God on earth.
