Life On The Other Side

My mother had a miscarriage before I was born and she had a first born daughter who died a few years after birth, but I never heard anything from her against God. Indeed, the experience is painful to everyone who are left in this life being separated from our loved ones. Any kind of separation is painful. My mother, however, believed that life is better there on the other side than in this earth. My readings of the works of Ian Stevenson, Brian Weiss, and the stories of Mary Neal and Coulton Burpo convinced me that my mother was right. Her attitude towards the death of my brother and sister was like the attitude she demonstrated when I got married. She cried but she gave me her blessing for my new journey in life.

If God Is All-loving, Why Would Hell Exist?

This point of view is perfect for the offender. It is, however, unfair for the offended. For example you have two sons. You love them both. One of them tries to kill the other. Is it loving the offended by letting the offender go on with what he does? Or is it loving the offender for not punishing him for his wrong doing? No, according to my mother. You are being punished because I want you to realize you did wrong. She said I do that because I love you. If I do not love you I would not care whether you do right or wrong.

That was how my mother taught me to always do right as much as I can.

Meditation

Is The Mind The Devil's Best Ally?

Sounds like it makes sense to me. In fact the devil uses the billions of minds of the world to worship him and reject the creator of the universe by deception. That was what he did to Eve and what he does to the world today. However, the mind can be the devil’s worst enemy too. As the saying goes, “Everything can work both ways.” That kind of mind was used by the Son of God during the temptation in the wilderness. The Son of God started it. Now, the rest of the story is in our freedom of choice. Use our mind to stop saying amen to the devil’s deception. The Son of God and the Father in heaven have been waiting for thousands of years for us to change our mind. Until then, the Son of God is not coming again yet.

Roconciliation With God

Reconciliation with God does not mean changing God’s will and laws to fit our will. Reconciliation means changing our will to align with God’s will. This is the same as the phrase “Your will be done on earth as in heaven” in the Lord’s Prayer written in Matthew 6:10. It is also written in Luke 22:42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” This is a perfect example of how God’s will is preferred over our human will. The Son of God was rejected, tortured, and murdered because men insisted on their will not God’s will. That is what the churches of this world are doing until now after more than two thousand years. 

Our Love For Our Creator

We Christians believe that the God of the Bible created the heaven and the earth, and the days of the week. We profess our love for our creator. The irony is that we name the days, and the heavenly bodies in honor of the pagan gods. We presume that it is ok with our creator. Really? How about this?

• Joshua 23:7 Make sure you do not associate with the other people still remaining in the land. Do not  even mention the names of their gods, much less swear by them or serve them or worship them. 

He hates just mentioning those names. We go to the extent of naming His creation after them. And we say we love Him. This is mockery. We are mocking the God that makes us alive. This is ungrateful.
