Some people consider this urban myth and don’t want to believe that this actually happens. However, a recent local story about a random shooting was published in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For the story, the reporter consulted with a former Chicago gang member for his analysis. The consultant says to join the gang the shooter was suspected of trying to join, a person must kill a rival gang member or someone random. But the rules are they can’t get caught. What can Creator tell us? Is this an urban myth? And if not, how widespread a problem is it?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma266 views0 answers0 votesIt would seem that the power of an oath depends on how successfully it alters and/or cements belief. Is it correct to say it’s not the oath itself that binds, but the effect it has on the beliefs of oath takers, oath administrators, and oath witnesses?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma241 views0 answers0 votesGeorge Washington said: “Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation deserts the oaths.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma262 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the American “Pledge of Allegiance?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma287 views0 answers0 votesSamuel Coleridge Taylor said: “The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God’s wrath upon himself, if he speaks false; it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma271 views0 answers0 votesThe Lightworker Healing Protocol expressly lists “oaths” as a spiritual reality requiring healing intervention. Can Creator summarize why this is so, and how Empowered Prayer and The Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to reverse the damage to the soul they can do?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma248 views0 answers0 votesIn spite of the confusion and jumbled and contradictory narratives about our past, it seems one of the more revelatory means to witness the presence and influence of the divine and also help in building one’s belief quotient, would indeed be the study of history. In surveying the history of warfare, in particular, the presence of divine intervention can be found in lopsided contests where the disadvantaged party wins a shocking and almost inexplicable victory in a short timeframe and with a minimum of death and destruction to both sides. The Battle of Midway in World War II is one example that comes to mind. What is Creator’s perspective on this observation?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential246 views0 answers0 votesIn contrast to the Battle of Midway, can Creator comment on the turning point that was the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II? Unlike Midway, which was decided in less than a week, Stalingrad was a brutal bloodbath that ground on for months in the most horrific of conditions, both natural and manmade. Russian soldiers, in particular, feared their own leadership as much as the enemy in many cases. Stalingrad was called a “moonscape,” bombed into oblivion and utterly unrecognizable. Where was the divine in this contest? And what contrast would Creator make between the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Stalingrad?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential282 views0 answers0 votesOne of the most enigmatic events in modern world history is the Battle of Waterloo. It remains enigmatic right down to the characterization of the forces involved. Some regard Napoleon Bonaparte as just another Hitler, while others view him as a failed George Washington. Figuring out who the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in this contest were is by no means an easy exercise. Both sides were heavily populated with Christians, many of whom certainly prayed for protection and divine intervention in order to achieve victory for their side. In the grand scheme of things, was Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo a divine setback, or a divine victory? If it was a setback, what was lost? And if a victory, what was achieved in the way of divine support for humanity in the bigger contest with the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential315 views0 answers0 votesWe learned in a recent radio show, about the astounding level of divine protection granted to keep French Marshal Michel Ney alive, and eventually allow his escape to America where he lived out his life in peace, if not in contentment. Many, if not most, historians actually blame Ney himself for Napoleon’s French loss at Waterloo. Were there in fact decisions Ney made that could have changed the outcome of Waterloo, and arguably the course of world history, and if so, why did the divine not inspire him appropriately, while at the same time protecting his life in the most astonishing ways?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential247 views0 answers0 votesFrom the divine perspective, did Ney “blow it,” and make one of the biggest military mistakes in the history of warfare? If so, what are the karmic ramifications of doing your best, but still failing with some of the highest stakes imaginable?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential245 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share the divine perspective on the statement “I was just following orders?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma285 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share the divine perspective on the statement, “Everybody does it?” Does “following the crowd” ever confer karmic leniency in any way? How much, if any, consideration does Creator give to this when considering mitigating grace?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma266 views0 answers0 votesGangsters in the 1920s were notorious for rubbing out their enemies during the week and then tithing significant sums to the Catholic Church on Sunday. To an onlooker, this seems like the highest of follies—was it? What is the divine perspective on this kind of overt hypocrisy? Did this behavior have some mitigating value?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma278 views0 answers0 votesHow can prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help us to avoid everyday karmic entanglements?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma336 views0 answers0 votes
