"Love is what is receptive of every heavenly quality, that is, of peace, intelligence, wisdom, and happiness. Love is receptive of everything that is in harmony with it." Man must love (God and fellows) completely in perfect holiness. God equips man to do this, expects, yes, requires man to...

Dear Winner, You have stated in the quote above how things appear to you; how it sounds. Appearances are just that. Something appears to be like this or that, but the appearance might be removed from reality. Look at this; it says something different to the quote above: If any of you...

Dear Wise Friends, A unique decsription of two types of wisdom is to be found in James (NT). He speaks of a wisdom that is "from above," and a wisdom that is not. Please read the text (James 3:13-17): It seems to me that when he refers to "wisdom from above," he intends the idea of...

Exactly. Why does it appear to me then, that Nick the Pilot is relentlessly insisting that our friend Thomas should do account for the misdeeds of others; a supposed "discussion of the issues" that reeks rather of the spirit of an inquisition: I DEMAND THAT ALL ACCUSATIONS BE ANSWERED AND...

Interfaith Dialogue Questions Pope?

Can anyone guide me to those segments of Scripture, in the Law and Prophets, in the Messiah's teachings, or in the letters of doctirine and pastoral counsel of the early church, or to those works of the Fathers (Tradition), that prescribe how same-sex "couples", or "partners," should relate to...

Re: 1914: Teachings of Jesus Christ or human philosophy? Well, he's fit. :)

Easy, now, Winner. Go easy with the medicine. Those splinters you see in another's eye might be imagined, the product of hallucinations. I think it is a valid point to consider, as juantoo's valuable contributions made clear, that various translations, their mistakes and motivations, may...

I remember reading somewhere that the Chinese genius renders it thus: "In the beginning was the Way, and the Way was with God, and the Way was God." I also recall Jesus saying, "I am the way and the tuth and the life." I would like to use capitals here, to make my meaning clear: The Way...
