The first deadly sin is PRIDE: “An excessive love of self or the desire to be better or more important than others. ‘Respect for the human person proceeds by way of respect for the principle that “everyone should look upon his neighbor (without exception) as ‘another self,’ above all bearing in mind his life and the means necessary for living it with dignity.”‘” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance174 views0 answers0 votesThe second deadly sin is LUST: “An intense desire, usually for sexual pleasure, but also for money, power or fame. ‘The God of promises always warned man against seduction by what from the beginning has seemed “good for food … a delight to the eyes … to be desired to make one wise.”‘” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance220 views0 answers0 votesThe third deadly sin is GLUTTONY: “Overconsumption, usually of food or drink. ‘The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco or medicine.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance185 views0 answers0 votesThe fourth deadly sin is GREED: “The desire for and love of possessions. ‘Sin … is a failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance180 views0 answers0 votesThe fifth deadly sin is SLOTH: “Physical laziness, also disinterest in spiritual matters or neglecting spiritual growth. ‘Acedia or spiritual sloth goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God and to be repelled by divine goodness.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance186 views0 answers0 votesThe sixth deadly sin is ANGER (or WRATH): “Uncontrolled feelings of hatred or rage. ‘Anger is a desire for revenge … The Lord says, “Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment.”‘” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance178 views0 answers0 votesThe seventh deadly sin is ENVY: “Sadness or desire for the possessions, happiness, talents or abilities of another. ‘Envy can lead to the worst crimes. “Through the devil’s envy death entered the world.”‘” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance162 views0 answers0 votesWikipedia defines Eternal Sin: “The unforgivable sin is interpreted by Christian theologians in various ways, although they generally agree that one who has committed the sin is no longer able to repent, and so one who is fearful that they have committed it has not done so.” Also: “… to sin against the Holy Ghost (an unforgivable sin) is to confound Him with the spirit of evil, it is to deny, from pure malice, the Divine character of works manifestly Divine.” What is Creator’s perspective on the concept of eternal and unforgivable sin?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance199 views0 answers0 votesOrganized religion makes much ado about sin and its consequences. It does advocate prayer as one weapon to be used in the battle against it, but we have also learned that the prayers intended for this purpose would hardly be considered “empowered.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to combat the spiritual degradation of sin?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance189 views0 answers0 votesCastor wrote describing, “… the plight of the whole kingdom. Across great swathes of France, the oppressive and violent reality of armies moving through the countryside, of battles and sieges, pillage and plunder, had left scorched earth, torched homes, and lives and livelihoods destroyed.” These were clearly the conditions that Joan’s mission life was conceived to resolve. Was it the prayers of the common people of France, a deeply religious and Christian nation, that enabled the divine to intervene in the form of Joan “The Maid?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers165 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s was not the only “mission life” on display in these times. The king she was commissioned to support and see coronated, clearly had a mission life to bring France’s suffering to an end. Castor wrote, “The dauphin (heir apparent to the throne of France) – whose daily routine included two or sometimes even three masses, so unstinting was his devotion.” How important were the dauphin’s own prayers in bringing about the divine intervention in the form of Joan “The Maid,” that would see his mission of unifying France and ending the Hundred Years War truly fulfilled in his lifetime? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers173 views0 answers0 votesJoan wrote to the English, “You will never hold the kingdom of France from God, the king of heaven, holy Mary’s son; but King Charles will hold it, the true heir, because God, the king of heaven, wishes it.” But is this literally true? Creator has told us time and again that this is humanity’s world, and that no divine intervention can happen without human intention for it to be so. So can Creator explain how and even if Joan’s common notion of “God’s will” can be understood in the context of Creator’s modern teachings that humans really are in charge here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers225 views0 answers0 votesDivine favor was seemingly on display in the battles leading up to the king’s coronation. Castor wrote, “The troops were almost in place when suddenly a stag (male deer) erupted out of the woods and plunged into the English ranks, precipitating a great shout of confusion and fear just at the moment when advance riders from the French forces were approaching within earshot. The animal had given away the English position before (the) archers had finished planting their sharpened stakes in the ground and making ready their bows.” The result was the complete rout of the English forces. Was the appearance of the stag divine intervention, or was it karma, or both?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers171 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s fortunes changed after the king’s coronation. Was her mission life essentially fulfilled at that point? During her assault on Paris, she rallied her troops promising them they would be inside the Paris walls that evening. A crossbow bolt ripped through her leg. She did not stop insisting that the city would be won as she was dragged from the ditch and carried to safety. What she didn’t know was the king had made treaties with his enemies to temporarily end hostilities for the winter, taking matters into his own hands and against Joan’s wishes and proclamations. Castor wrote, “The great theologian Gerson had foreseen this very problem. The ‘party having justice on its side,’ he had concluded after the triumph at Orleans, must take care not to render the help of heaven useless through disbelief or ingratitude, ‘for God changes His sentence as a result of a change in merit,’ he wrote, ‘even if he does not change His counsel.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers176 views0 answers0 votes
