The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential158 views0 answers0 votesFrederick William Faber said: “Happiness is a great power of holiness. Thus, kind words, by their power of producing happiness, have also a power of producing holiness, and so of winning men to God.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential144 views0 answers0 votesMonica Johnson said: “Holiness through Christ’s Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential148 views0 answers0 votesRicky Martin said: “Buddha’s teachings are very simple, you don’t have to break your head to understand the message. The part that I like the most from Buddha’s teachings and from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, is that the most powerful weapon is to not attack, to be able to have self-control.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential183 views0 answers0 votesMother Angelica said: “Every Christian who strives for holiness of life experiences dryness of soul. It is to most people a heart-rending experience. It is a paradox, for the soul becomes confused when it realizes the harder it strives the further away Jesus seems to be.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential177 views0 answers0 votesJames E. Faust said: “Holiness is the strength of the soul. It comes by faith and through obedience to God’s laws and ordinances. God then purifies the heart by faith, and the heart becomes purged from that which is profane and unworthy. When holiness is achieved by conforming to God’s will, one knows intuitively that which is wrong and that which is right before the Lord. Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential149 views0 answers0 votesShunya said: “If you want to help a guilt-ridden person, don’t act holy and pure around them. Everyone has a dark side, Be true, Be vulnerable. Be normal. Be human.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential137 views0 answers0 votesR.C. Sproul in his book, Choosing My Religion, wrote: “If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential151 views0 answers0 votesIs holiness an end in itself, or a means to an end? Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol enhance and empower the pursuit of holiness, and most important, remove the obstacles to the practical attainment of holiness for both the individual and humanity itself?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential147 views0 answers0 votesA viewer writes, “I thought you would find this writing interesting by Tom Montalk: ‘Interesting thing to ponder: what’s stronger, military might or divine power? The obvious answer is divine power. But then you look at history: 1) 10-20 million Christians killed by the Soviets; 2) 1000s of Christians killed by ISIS in the Middle East this past decade alone; 3) 100s of thousands of Christian children during the Crusades headed to Jerusalem only to be killed or sold into slavery on their way; 4) Always that good Christian family in the news who lost everything in a storm or earthquake or flood. You would think, based on this, that God clearly favors communists and Muslims and natural disasters. Besides, why should divinity favor Christians? What about all the other religions? But millions of communists, Muslims, and Jews have died as well over the centuries. Is there any class of people that’s consistently protected by the divine against military might? You could go back to the Old Testament and the Israelites and what was done for them, which if true, brings up the question of why back then and not since? Yet there’s no doubt that tyrannies and armies have risen and fallen and, in the end, spirituality and religion has endured. So spirit has the last laugh, but was it a Pyrrhic victory considering the millions lost? Or do we place too much value on life and comfort, and death, torture, and slavery isn’t that big of a deal in the eyes of eternity? There are also countless anecdotes of individuals and small groups of people being saved by supernatural intervention. Mysterious strangers helping them only to disappear without a trace, or voices telling them where to seek shelter, or the very laws of physics being bent to keep them from dying. And we have key people being guided by supernatural influences to exert their position/authority to help many other people. So certain individuals matter at certain times enough to get major intervention. But what’s missing is collective, massive, open divine intervention against military physical force, especially in the last 1000 years, let alone modern times. That hasn’t happened to my knowledge, unless it’s been covered up. And because of that, the USSR could kill up to 20 million Christians because it had the military might to do so, and because, for whatever reason, divine power doesn’t prevent collective events.'” His first question is: “Is divinity unable to [prevent collective events]? Then it’s not omnipotent.” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator284 views0 answers0 votesThe author says this about the divine choosing to not intervene on behalf of groups: “Then it condoned genocide in the 20th century and favored the Nazis and Communists over Christians and Jews. If it’s willing to sacrifice them, what does that say about our safety during the coming times?” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator291 views0 answers0 votesThe author further asks about divine intervention on behalf of groups: “Did it do that once upon a time, like with the Israelites? If so, why not now? And does that have anything to do with the supposed quarantine that went into effect 3k years ago preventing aliens from openly interfering with human development? Or were the Israelites being protected by aliens? Or is the history of the Israelites fabricated?” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator269 views0 answers0 votesThe author continues: “If it [divine power] doesn’t prevent genocide, what is the reason? Karma of the victims? If so, does that mean mass murderers are guiltless because they are just fulfilling the karmic “wishes” of the victims and thus doing them a spiritual service?” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator228 views0 answers0 votesThe author continues: “Or is the temporary victory of military might, and the thousands or millions that suffer as a result, merely a product of the rules of the game here, a necessary side effect of free will being an integral part of this whole experience?” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator204 views0 answers0 votesThe author continues: “Would too much intervention destroy free will and also ruin the fiction by which souls here find full immersion in their catalytic experiences? Does that serve as an exploit in the game, by which dark forces can play the rules so well that they end up checkmating divinity and get to enact decades of enslavement, torture, oppression?” What is Creator’s Perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator200 views0 answers0 votes
