History

Without much effort, we find, mainly  in the History of the oldest religions,  in the Old and New Testaments, fundamentals, citations and     syntheses that show, in those times, the dawn   of the shadows of morality, still far from the clarity of the very  enlightened dawn of Divine Justice, with the radiance of the sun at the dawn of  Love for God and neighbor.

Fragments of that journey, little by little becoming enlightened: Divine Justice and religions

Of the religions of India:¹

In these scriptures, we find the     oldest source on credit or moral debt, consubstantiated in the “Law of Karma”. Karma, in Sanskrit (ancient sacred language of India), means "action".

Fundamentals of Karma: all the good or bad that we have done in a     lifetime will bring us good or bad consequences, either in this or in  other existences to come. The “Law    of Karma” states that good actions credit peace and good, bad actions bring suffering and pain, these only mitigated by good ones, on board   with sincere repentance.

The Law of Karma, commonly known as Celestial Justice, is part of the sacred scriptures of various religions  in India:

● The Vedas: according to traditions 3102 BC;

● Brahmanism: 2^nd millennium BC. until the beginning of the Christian  era; it persists in a modified form,   and is now called Hinduism;

● Hinduism: according to traditions, since around 2000 BC;

● Jainism: from the 6^th century BC;

● Buddhism: from the 5th century    BC.

From each religion, when possible, I record only two passages, as an example of approaching Divine   Justice.

From the Old Testament:

● "For according to a man's work He (God) repays him, and makes each  one find according to his way.” It appears in the Book of Job, 34:11 It   is now agreed that this book was written between the 7th and 4th centuries B.C., with the 6th century B.C. appearing as the most likely   date;

● “To you too, Lord, belongs mercy,  for you will repay each one according to his work.” (Psalms, 62:12) -  Written by David – c. 1010- c. 970  BC;

From the New Testament:

● “For the Son of Man will come in    the glory of his Father with his   angels; and then he will reward each according to his works.” Jesus, in Matthew, 16:27;

● “And if you call to the Father who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, walk    in fear during the time of your pilgrimage.” Apostle Peter, in I Peter, 1:17.

Christianity

Set of religions organized based on   the sublimity of Jesus Christ and on  the writings that report his words.  Born in Judea and initially spread in the East, Christianity was preached    in the Mediterranean world by the Apostles after the death of Jesus.

In Christianity, there are norms, principles, ideas and convictions that constitute the ideals of ethics, with   the Greek philosophers, and more objectively, by prophets exposing   faith and hopes, until Jesus fully consolidated, with lessons and examples, the understanding of   Divine Justice, always practiced by   the Love of God for all Humanity.

Catholicism

Religion of Christians who recognize the Pope as spiritual head.   Catholicism bases its unity on a community of faith, sacraments and religious life. It agrees with the other Christian Churches regarding Revelation (Old and New Testaments).

Islam

The Qur'an is seen as a scripture devoted primarily to establishing the principles of faith and justice. It demands that justice be done for all, which is the inherent right of all  human beings under Islamic Law.

The Qur'an, the holy scripture of  Islam, considers justice to be a supreme virtue. It is a basic goal of Islam (Islamism) to the point that it   is next in order of priority, after    belief in the exclusive right of God, worship (Tawheed = from Arabic:     "to unite") and in the truth of Muhammad's prophetic mission       (the Prophet Mohammed) - April 571 A.D. / June 8, 632 AD, who founded Islam, which is stated in the Qur'an:

 “Allah commands justice and fair treatment...” (Quran 16:90)

The Qur'an's eternal commitment to basic standards of justice is also    found in this declaration, addressed   to its adherents:

● “The Word of your Lord was fulfilled in truth and righteousness. No one   can change His words.”   (Quran 6:115)

Spiritism

Spiritism arrived in this world on    April 18, 1857, with Allan Kardec launching The Book of Spirits, the cornerstone of the Codification of the Doctrine of Spirits, understood as the bearer of the respective fundamentals: Perfectibility of Divine Justice, embodied in Divine Laws, or Natural (subdivided into Moral Laws), reincarnation and spiritual evolution.

Impenetrable in the folds of Time, second by second, Divine Justice automatically registers the merit or demerit of each Spirit: all its procedures, good and bad, including even its thoughts (Remembering  Jesus, in John: 8- 11...).

This record stems from the aforementioned Laws of God,  inviolable and perfect, which have  been inserted in the consciousness of each Spirit, since time immemorial, according to question 621 of The   Book of Spirits (“OLE”).

Thus, I cite some details of the Moral Laws, extracted from the set of Divine Laws that govern the moral dimension of the, being partially subsidiaries of Divine Justice and the foundations of Spiritism, acting as splendid behavioral compasses, according to the Divine Friend's affirmation, when he assured: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second, similar to this, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37–39)

This is how, resulting from the behavioral experience according to the Moral Laws, the evolutionary moral apex of the Spirit will be reached when he practices only the good use of them, haloing his actions with love of God and neighbor, as Jesus taught and exemplified.

Several spiritist scholars, incarnated and disembodied, reflect on Divine Justice, noting that it is an unquestionable expression of the Law of Love of God, as well as the compassion of the Supreme Creator towards those who, ordinarily, behave in disarray with the Divine Laws. . This compassion, however, will not be able to provide this sublime help to the defaulters, in the face of the hardened impediments caused by them, in the face of their systematic rebelliousness and refusal, in the face of the foundations of merit.

In these cases, the action of Time is summoned, combined with the pedagogy of pain, extremely efficient tools to untie us sustained by evil.

The Father's Love and Charity towards all His children are offered to all of them, innocent or guilty, without distinction.

But for the latter, however, Divine Justice — inviolable, perfect, sovereign, maximum and unequaled expression of the Supreme Creator's charity —, can only help them to rise again when sincere² repentance sprouts in them. The Love of God never withholds compassion from the reprobate.

No one can claim that they “didn't know”, because alerts and warnings began millennia ago, through consciousness. They continue and will be valid and active forever.

Chinese proverb advises: We can choose what we sow, but we are obliged to reap what we sow.

Spiritists echo: “The planting is free, but the harvest is mandatory...”.

Repentance is not enough for discharge... Indispensable the reconstruction, by those who default before the Laws of God, of what they have destroyed and then, with resignation, correct their faults, which can happen in one or more reincarnations - as many as necessary -, granted by the Mercy of the Greater Father.

Faced with the firm decision of the penitent in search of discharge, this is the time that the Kindness of the Supreme Creator makes the necessary means available to him, with charitable alternatives.

This is because reconstruction cannot always be obtained exactly as the debt was built, which would characterize the “talion penalty, or “talion law” ^3. With those alternatives, the debtor will have countless possibilities to act with love and charity towards his neighbor. This is how then, before the Law of God, the culprit will obtain full discharge of his faults, according to divine engraving on the altar of his own conscience, having peace as his companion.

A moving example of this Love of the Greater Father and of Divine Justice, and of general discharge, we have in the narrative of Peter, apostle of Jesus, commenting on the blessings of charity: Above all cultivate, with  all ardor, mutual love, because the love covers a multitude of sins (I Peter, 4-8).
