			== Sins and Vices ==
			{{Main\|Vice}}

			To be distinguished from sin are [[vices]]. Whereas sins are momentary, individual transgressions that take effect in the [[astral body]] when a person falls prey to a momentary [[temptation]], vices live in the [[etheric body]] as permanent, regularly recurring bad habits. In the etheric body also works the [[guilt]], which man loads upon himself as a consequence of sin. What man destroys in his astral body as a result of sin, he himself must make up for in the course of [[karmic]] events. However, he cannot redeem the guilt in his etheric body on his own, but for this he also needs the [[grace]] of the [[Christ]], as was already described above for the objective consequences of our misdeeds, which are inscribed in the [[world ether]]. Through his grace, the Christ also takes from humanity the burden of original sin, which works as original guilt in the etheric body of every human being.

			The [[egoism]] implanted in the human astral body by [[Lucifer]] is the common root of all sin. Of the two basic forces of the [[soul world]], [[sympathy]] and [[antipathy]], the latter predominates in the state of sin, whereby man closes himself off from the outer soul world and closes himself egoistically within himself. In the Fall of Man, however, the whole of earthly nature was also entangled and thereby first condensed into solid matter.

	Sins as momentary transgressions have their seat in the [[astral body]], while [[vice]]s as permanent bad habits work in the [[etheric body]]. The well-known "[[Seven Deadly Sins]]" (see the painting by [[w:Hieronymus Bosch\|Hieronymus Bosch]] on the right) are in fact [[Seven Deadly Vices]] to which man can fall prey.

			== Forgiveness of Sins and Karma ==
			{{Main\|Forgiveness of Sins}}

			A sin that has been committed always has an effect on the '''sinner'''. He thereby damages his [[soul]] and is burdened with [[karma]], which later demands compensation that only he can provide. Minor sins can be atoned for in the same earthly life or can be wiped away after death in the [[Kamaloka]]. More serious transgressions can only be expiated in later incarnations. The human being is thus forced into the process of [[reincarnation]], which, however, also opens up the possibility of gradually developing an independent self in [[repeated earthly lives]]. However, sins do not only have individual consequences for the sinner himself, but they also leave objective traces in the world, which cannot be completely erased by man himself. For this he needs the help of the [[Christ]], who by [[grace]] through his sacrificial act on [[Golgotha]] took upon himself the "sins of the world", i.e. the objective consequences of human transgressions, and in particular is also willing to take the burden of original sin from human beings. This is the true meaning of the forgiveness of sins, which, however, in no way relieves man from bearing the karmic consequences of his actions. If the Christ were not willing to take the sins of the world upon Himself, the karma of human beings would indeed be approximately balanced at the end of the earth's evolution, "but the earth would not be ready to evolve over to Jupiter and all earth humanity would be there without a dwelling place..." {{GZ\|\|155\|176ff}}
