“If someone has resolved to commit a certain crime that would create negative karma, and if there exists no other choice for hindering this person from the crime and thus the highly negative karma that would result for all his future lives, then a pure motivation of compassion would theoretically justify the killing of this person.”

"Finally, in his short book regarding noscriptural interpretation, Johann Gerhard goes so far as to employ the aid of occult Hermetic philosophy, something that had become popular during the Renaissance. He uses a series of quotations from the Corpus Hermeticum to show that even pagan occult philosophy agrees with the Bible that spiritual understanding could only come by way of illumination and purification of the mind. Regarding this last extremely odd philosophical appropriation, it should be observed that Gerhard believed that Hermes Trismegistus was not only a real person, but a contemporary of Moses, from whom he gleaned his ideas about spiritual illumination."
