Soul Theory

Forgiveness may be defined as the art of non-application of deemed punishment for a known wrong doing. This implies that the wrong doing must first be established for the one responsible to carry out the punishment to decide not to apply or choose to no longer apply the befitting punishment. The punishment which may take various forms may in some cases be perpetual anger towards the wrong doer.

However, wrong doings can only be said to have taken place when perceived laws are broken, and The Soul Theory identifies the following two types of laws, being Natural Laws and Man Made laws.

The Natural Laws, also said to be the Laws made by God at creation, have been the same since creation, have never been amended, and there has never been the need to add new laws or to repeal some of these laws.

The Man Made Laws, on the contrary, evolve with society, with each society having its own set of laws, additional laws being enacted from time to time, and some laws being occasionally amended or even repealed.

The Soul Theory observes that Laws Made by God cannot be disobeyed but the Man Made Laws may be disobeyed! The world being in equilibrium is proof of the Laws of God at work with mathematical precision, each law being obeyed at all times. Cutting with a sharp knife is God’s law at work whenever the exerted pressure is greater than the offered resistance by the object being cut. The Laws of God when applied result in instant manifestations, as the laws cannot be disobeyed. A sharp knife when applied with force to a string will cut the string, and same knife when applied with force to one’s throat will create a cut which may lead to death, as the laws of God, which cannot be disobeyed, will be at play. With respect to the Laws of God, if you do this, that will happen. There is no time allowed to establish right-doing or wrong-doing, as there is neither right nor wrong, and with instant manifestation, forgiveness then becomes irrelevant.

The typical Man Made Law will state that committing murder is a crime, and therefore using a sharp knife to cut the throat of someone, leading to death, is murder. A crime has been committed, a man-made law has been broken! But the crime has to be established for judgment to be passed and sentence pronounced, to be followed by execution of the sentence. It is this man made process which lends itself to forgiveness. An individual may forgive a brother or a friend for a wrong done. A president may grant amnesty, cutting short the prescribed sentences for the crimes of various prison inmates. This is forgiveness as practiced by man.

Forgiveness, as per The Soul Theory may therefore be described as an attribute of Man but not an attribute of God. It is man who may forgive. God has no reason to forgive as the Laws of GOD cannot be disobeyed.

It must however be noted that the resulting manifestations, as we apply the various Laws of God, serve to provide us the learning experiences which shape our knowledge-profiles. It must also be remembered that we all start life with zero-level knowledge-profiles and we keep on learning, acquiring knowledge and experiences, from one life to another, until we become all-knowing, with maximum-level knowledge-profiles.

Think back to the last time you were forgiven for doing wrong. Did you break a Man Made Law or a God Created Law? Who established the wrong done, who was supposed to punish you, and who forgave you? Laws of God cannot be disobeyed but the Laws of Man may be disobeyed. Forgiveness is an attribute of Man but not an attribute of God. It is man who may forgive. God has no reason to forgive as the Laws of GOD cannot be disobeyed.
