Surrender to God first to let him make everything easy for you—the key to attaining union with God. In John 15:5, Jesus said that without him we can do nothing. So with him we can accomplish anything. He's ready to set us free, make us holy, etc., but we must give him the OK first, as we have our free will. Abandoning ourselves to God takes some time, but we must take the first step. As he starts transforming you, you experience peace and freedom more and more, and you let go more and more...this continues on until you are totally amazed that the Lord can truly transform you. Now, you can't help but fall in love with him. Before you know, he is your Lord and soulmate. This is living the most exciting spiritual life! (The book "He and I" by Gabrielle Bossis is a spiritual classic. You can check it out on Amazon.)

The thought of dying occurred to me as I was bleeding profusely. It was my faith in God that gave me great comfort and the graces needed to accept whatever came with peace. I experienced real deep peace in that moment; the fear of death was gone.

The closer we draw near to God, the closer we draw near to others, the more we realie that we need to "get over ourselves" (or our egos). Babies are full of ego (for them it's a survival mechanism), but by the time we're rational . . . ego really holds us back from living the life God intended for us. Is it crazy to say that ego may be original sin? I was always offended by the term or original sin until I started to think of it as ego, then it made a LOT of sense!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300316400083765147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067618590018471969.post-51709884574674580422016-06-23T12:25:57.430-07:002016-06-23T12:25:57.430-07:00Thank you.

Reasons to believe Je...Reasons to Believe in Jesus<br /><br />Reasons to believe Jesus is alive in a new life with God can be found in quotes from two prominent atheists and a biology textbook.<br /><br />Thus the passion of man is the reverse of that of Christ, for man loses himself as man in order that God may be born. But the idea of God is contradictory and we lose ourselves in vain. Man is a useless passion. (Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: A Phenomenological Essay on Ontology, New York: Washington Square Press, p. 784)<br /><br /> Among the traditional candidates for comprehensive understanding of the relation of mind to the physical world, I believe the weight of evidence favors some from of neutral monism over the traditional alternatives of materialism, idealism, and dualism. (Thomas Nagel, Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False, location 69 of 1831)<br /><br /><br /> And certain properties of the human brain distinguish our species from all other animals. The human brain is, after all, the only known collection of matter that tries to understand itself. To most biologists, the brain and the mind are one and the same; understand how the brain is organized and how it works, and we’ll understand such mindful functions as abstract thought and feelings. Some philosophers are less comfortable with this mechanistic view of mind, finding Descartes’ concept of a mind-body duality more attractive. (Neil Campbell, Biology, 4th edition, p. 776 )<br /><br /><br /> Sartre speaks of the "passion of man," not the passion of Christians. He is acknowledging that all religions east and west believe there is a transcendental reality and that perfect fulfillment comes from being united with this reality after we die. He then defines this passion with a reference to Christian doctrine which means he is acknowledging the historical reasons for believing in Jesus. He does not deny God exists. He is only saying the concept of God is contradictory. He then admits that since life ends in the grave, it has no meaning.<br /><br /><br /> From the title of the book, you can see that Nagel understands that humans are embodied sprits and that the humans soul is spiritual. He says, however, that dualism and idealism are "traditional" alternatives to materialism. Dualism and idealism are just bright ideas from Descartes and Berkeley. The traditional alternative to materialism is monism. According to Thomas Aquinas unity is the transcendental property of being. Campbell does not even grasp the concept of monism. The only theories he grasps are dualism and materialism.<br /><br /><br /> If all atheists were like Sartre, it would be an obstacle to faith. An important reason to believe in Jesus is that practically all atheists are like Nagel and Campbell, not like Sartre.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />by David Roemer<br /><br />347-417-4703<br /><br />David Roemer<br />http://www.newevangelization.info<br /><br /><br /><br />David Roemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381078955592416975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067618590018471969.post-45562749096608496062015-06-13T03:17:25.689-07:002015-06-13T03:17:25.689-07:00Yes, if we have realize the truth that loving othe...Yes, if we have realize the truth that loving others and loving God is the same, our love will be pure.Online Journalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126573886366564851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067618590018471969.post-70582454571288740652015-06-11T02:55:10.922-07:002015-06-11T02:55:10.922-07:00Amen.
