the One God, Source of All, revealed in Jesus, being brought to fulfillment in us. Red Destiny 2010 p045 October 1, 2010 Friday Already I am unable to give the one I could hope to this new chapter in my life quest for Cosmic Christ Consciousness (Never named it quite like that before.) But I must begin, at least by saying “Good morning” to the Essence within me. It is a new way of speaking and one with which I am not yet comfortable. I am perfectly comfortable dialoguing with the God “out…
Losing Faith: The Unforeseen Corruption Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” is the classic horror tale of a young man, Brown, who takes a surreptitious journey into a forest where he is met by a strange man whose intentions are just as mysterious and the young man’s journey. Simple as this short story may seem to some, there is a rather blatant and complex allegory confronting the fundaments and moral standings of religion. While Brown is to stand as representative to those who struggle…
Hinduism believes in self and Buddhism believes in no self. Throughout the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that only a certain type of soul can reach moshka. In Buddhism, anyone can enter Nirvana, no matter how lowly they are. Buddhism has no gods and Hinduism has over 30 million. Even though there lies differences, it does not mean that one religion is better than the…
This is the extent that man will go to refute truth. Our Lord is no more than Truth manifested into human form to deliver mankind from Satanic delusion. But instead of acceptance Isaiah 53:3 says, “He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” Men then may despise truth because…
Is It Possible to Know God from Our Limit Knowledge? The catechism of the Catholic Church begins by asking what the meaning of “believe” is. It affirms that man’s answer to God, who reveals and gives Himself to man, is faith. This provides to man the superabundant light, which man needs, to make sense of the ultimate goal of man’s life. Faith is thus the result of an encounter. God wants to reveal Himself while man has a permanent desire to seek for God in his life. Hence, that the first part…
off little by little each year and if they continued the world would be submerged under water due to global warming. Is it true that the ice is melting? Undoubtedly, but will they melt off enough to flood the earth by no means, in the book of Genesis God makes a promise with the rainbow (which we still see today) as a sign that He will never again destroy the whole earth by a…
away from God and force us down a path in which we are merely cattle waiting to be butchered, it also simultaneously addresses the reality that the Lord wishes to do the exact opposite. While God’s motive is to have all people stand united with Him, the devils’ wish is to have the people stand for them. Or…
For example, when God says Noah to build an ark for his family and two of every animal because he is going to wipe everything out that He created with a flood. Another example is when Elijah proclaims a three year drought to discipline King Aheb and Queen Jezebel for worshipping…
works through his life, from schooling to conversion. It presents some of the questions he asked along the way, and by telling the story in this way Cooper attempts to illustrate the motives and thoughts of a man who was incredibly passionate about God. Early in the book, Cooper touches Augustine’s thoughts of the soul. He ponders the notions of when our souls are “created” or formed. How far back can we trace it? Though he does not recall his infancy, Augustine speculates on it, as it was…
and her dad. She had become very angry at him for falling in love with another woman, in what she thought was much too soon to have a new relationship. As I mediated the conversation between father and daughter, and prayed for them all the spirit of God used his word to break down walls of division that were beginning to grow between…
