  1 LawGod,2 |          creatures on earth, only man has an understanding or
  2 LawGod,2 |       these concepts of morality, man differs immeasurably from
  3 LawGod,2 |        special moral law given to man by God. This moral law,
  4 LawGod,2 |         law, this voice of God in man's soul is felt in the depth
  5 LawGod,2 |         of the morality common to man. A person who does not listen
  6 LawGod,2 |           conscience also acts in man as a rewarder. This happens
  7 LawGod,2 |           It is self-evident that man bears a moral responsibility
  8 LawGod,2 |       fixed in the very nature of man, is indisputable. This is
  9 LawGod,2 |         and concepts developed in man in part through upbringing
 10 LawGod,2 |         placed the moral law into man's soul and Who, through
 11 LawGod,3 |         believe, that God created man in His own image and likeness.
 12 LawGod,3 |        Therefore, in the creation man received a sinless nature,
 13 LawGod,3 |            but not even the first man, Adam, remained sinless.
 14 LawGod,3 |           the heart and the will. Man's mind became darkened and
 15 LawGod,3 |      inclined toward error, thus, man constantly errs - in science,
 16 LawGod,3 |        even more harmed by sin is man's heart - the center of
 17 LawGod,3 |         to effect our intentions. Man proves to be without strength
 18 LawGod,3 |         Christ the Savior said of man the sinner, "Whoever practices
 19 LawGod,3 | self-assurance disappears and the man is humbled (compare Apostle
 20 LawGod,3 |         etc. can become a vice in man if it possesses him entirely
 21 LawGod,3 |          type. In this condition, man can no longer hate his sin
 22 LawGod,3 |      Jesus Christ can be forgiven man (according to His own words)
 23 LawGod,3 |   Athanasios the Great, only if a man ceased from it and became
 24 LawGod,3 |        virtually impossible for a man to return to the truth.
 25 LawGod,3 |     temptation to sin, appears in man, it usually comes from three
 26 LawGod,3 |          from three sources: from man's own flesh, from the world
 27 LawGod,3 |        and from Satan.~Concerning man's flesh, there is absolutely

 29 LawGod,4 |         placed into the nature of man by his Creator. It is found
 30 LawGod,4 |      Christianity teaches us that man's earthly life is a time
 31 LawGod,4 |        Consequently, the tasks of man's earthly life consist of
 32 LawGod,4 |       does not repeat itself, for man lives but once on earth.
 33 LawGod,4 |        toward moral perfection of man's earthly life is indispensable
 34 LawGod,4 |          of the spiritual life. A man who stops working on himself
 35 LawGod,5 |             God's Law~The task of man's earthly life is preparing
 36 LawGod,5 |      beatitude. To attain this, a man must live in a holy and
 37 LawGod,5 |        God's voice in the soul of man. If the fall had not darkened
 38 LawGod,5 |          darkened the human soul, man would be able unerringly
 39 LawGod,5 |         however, that in a sinful man, not only are the mind,
 40 LawGod,5 |           became insufficient for man to live and act according
 41 LawGod,5 |           the exterior actions of man, while the New Testament
 42 LawGod,5 |         law looks at the heart of man, at his inner motives. Under
 43 LawGod,5 |      Under the Old Testament law, man submitted himself to God
 44 LawGod,5 |    spiritual development at which man then stood thousands of
 45 LawGod,6 |           of Will~We realize that man bears the responsibility
 46 LawGod,6 |    acknowledge freedom of will in man. They declare that in each
 47 LawGod,6 |          in each separate action, man acts only in accordance
 48 LawGod,6 |      According to their teaching, man always acts only under the
 49 LawGod,6 |            and which acknowledges man's freedom of will is called
 50 LawGod,6 |        character. They claim that man's freedom is his full authority
 51 LawGod,6 |         understanding, therefore, man's freedom is his complete
 52 LawGod,6 |      freedom, a distortion of it. Man does not have absolute,
 53 LawGod,6 |          teaching recognizes that man is undoubtedly under the
 54 LawGod,6 |    recognition of the action upon man - and sometimes very strongly -
 55 LawGod,6 |         the determinists say that man acts one way or another
 56 LawGod,6 |          the strongest. Moreover, man can even prefer a motive
 57 LawGod,6 |        opinion of indeterminists, man's freedom is not an undoubted
 58 LawGod,6 |        Christianity declares that man's freedom is his freedom
 59 LawGod,6 |    falling stone. We realize that man possesses a free will in
 60 LawGod,6 |       flying stone analogous with man's actions. This comparison
 61 LawGod,6 |           fact that the repentant man returns in thought to the
 62 LawGod,6 |           not have had a place if man did not possess free will,
 63 LawGod,6 |         We Christians acknowledge man to be morally free and the
 64 LawGod,6 |           is a most great gift to man from God, Who seeks from
 65 LawGod,6 |          from God, Who seeks from man not a mechanical submission,
 66 LawGod,7 |        important obligation which man has concerning himself,
 67 LawGod,7 |        task of the entire life of man as the necessity to use
 68 LawGod,7 |       task of the earthly life of man consists in that he is able,

 77 LawGod,10|         life-long moral struggle (man's efforts in cooperation
 78 LawGod,10|     Pelagius, began to teach that man is saved by himself - by
 79 LawGod,10|          of salvation is done for man by God's Grace, and man
 80 LawGod,10|           man by God's Grace, and man has only to accept this
 81 LawGod,10|       According to this teaching, man is saved only in Christ,

 83 LawGod,10|       himself are also necessary. Man's personal efforts alone
 84 LawGod,10|           of his salvation.~Thus, man's salvation is worked out
 85 LawGod,10|           the personal efforts of man himself. According to the
 86 LawGod,10|           the Church, God created man without the participation
 87 LawGod,10|      without the participation of man himself - but He does not
 88 LawGod,10|           created him unfettered. Man is free to choose good or
 89 LawGod,11|         powers or capabilities in man's soul: mind, emotion (heart)
 90 LawGod,11|           will. Through his mind, man acquires knowledge of the

 93 LawGod,11|         the world and acts in it. Man's moral character depends
 94 LawGod,11|       that in working on his "I," man must develop those capabilities
 95 LawGod,11|           and in a Christian way.~Man's mind develops most rapidly
 96 LawGod,11|        powers and capabilities of man are formed and strengthened.~
 97 LawGod,11|    encompassing and explaining to man the whole world, himself,

106 LawGod,14|      Education And Development Of Man's Will~We must now examine
107 LawGod,14|       training and development of man's will. The moral character
108 LawGod,14|      character and moral value of man's personality depends most
109 LawGod,14|         military discipline here. Man must place himself in definite
110 LawGod,14|            Let us note this, too: man's habits have a large significance
111 LawGod,14|          the soul and, therefore, man must teach himself much
112 LawGod,14|    important in early years, when man's character is still forming.

123 LawGod,16|  philosophical teachings spoke of man's soul being created by
124 LawGod,16|         Both the soul and body of man are created by God. According
125 LawGod,16|           the mystery of baptism, man's body is a temple of the
126 LawGod,16|     members of Christ. Therefore, man will pass over into the
127 LawGod,16|      insurmountable strength that man is powerless to withstand
128 LawGod,16|     killing the mind and heart of man - this cloud of temptations
129 LawGod,16|        blesses only two paths for man on earth: either the holy
