A Show of Faith

Join us for another episode this week.  Our theme this week: On the seventh day, after the work of creation, God rested.  Obviously, this hasn't a thing to do with divine fatigue on the part of the omnipotent Creator. Instead, it expresses God's savoring of what he has made. Aquinas says that the two basic moves of the will are to seek the absent good and to rest in the possessed good.

Welcome to another show this week. Our theme includes our faiths’ views of our bodies, physical selves, and overall health. 

Please check out our show content: article 1 Thanks for listening!

In this show, we talk about what a mission includes. Is it self-generated? God?   We discuss any relationship between job and mission.  Describe Life with or without a mission.

Today we discuss sin and how we interpret this concept within our religious views.  Thanks for listening. 

"""“ Do you believe,” the disciple asked the Rabbi, “that God created everything for a purpose?” “I do,” replied the Rabbi. “Well,” asked the disciple, “why did God create atheists?” The Rabbi paused before giving an answer, and when he spoke his voice was soft and intense. “Sometimes we who believe, believe too much. We see the cruelty, the suffering, the injustice in the world and...

I was in antigua this weekend walking to dinner.   A woman approached and with a sobbing face and distraugh  demeanor explained how she needed money to get back to the city for an urgen family matter.  At first she said she needed 70Q( roughly $6.50) then she asked for 50Q.  I offered to pay for her Uber since I did not have cash. I did but my policy is to not give out money to people asking tryin...

Topic:: Is there a right way and is there a wrong way to evangelize, to witness, to missionize, to proselytize ??  Each of our faiths welcomes new believers. But is there a right way an appropriate way, is there a wrong way an inappropriate way to get them to believe?

What are the things that lead to reduced suffering?  How do we desire good?  When does discernment serve this good and not evil? Wisdom is the guiding grace of God to continue doing all the good in creation. It's the sacred mystery of divine revelation. That mystery of time has come in the form of many forms and ways of revelation, which have come with time experiences and passed down caringl...

Woodstock Songwriters: Joni Mitchell These two “Altars” are monuments to the enduring, though hidden, search for God throughout the intervening 40 years bookending their occurrences. Focus on the success of the movie The Jesus Revolution in theaters and link it to the lyrics of the 60s song Woodstock by Joni Mitchell performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash.  Please look up the lyrics, and even if y...

Is God not that which is? Not subject to any gender? Our age has been characterized as ‘postmodern’ in contrast to a previous epoch termed ‘modernity.’ Modernity espoused several myths that, until recently, went unchecked: the myth of unending progress, the myth of clear and distinct ideas of universal reason, the myth of the individual, and the myth of the ascendancy of human control over nature....

The full crew is again united.  The Importance Of Memory in Religion,  or in cultures or in societies. REMEMBER the Sabbath day to keep it holy. REMEMBER what Amalek did to you. Holidays are to remember our history... So let's talk about the importance of memory in religion! That might include our martyrs and our persecutions and all that that all of us have but I think a topic should be memo...

Is suffering something that has to have meaning added to it?  What does Jesus suffering on the cross, given that this is Passion Sunday, have to say to us about the inherent meaning of suffering? How does that compare to the Jewish understanding of the meaning of suffering?

Self-imposed "suffering," i.e. giving up something for Lent, for Easter, food for Yom Kippur, leavened products, bread, for Passover, why do we do it?  Last week we spoke mainly of unasked-for suffering, diseases, and what is done TO us, not really by us to ourselves. This week we will cover suffering from a different angle. 

Theopaschite and what does this mean to for our different faith interpretations.  1. Genesis 6:6-7: "And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, 'I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.'"...

Do we sneak glances at horoscopes if they are on a page we're reading? Do we think it's cool when there's an interesting date, like calling March 14Th, 3.14, pi day, or May 4th star wars day as in May the Fourth (be with you!), Or when the date is 3-23-23 or the like... Do we bother to read a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant, or hope that it is a good *omen* ? How much have yo...
