Responding To Abuse Coming From The Institutional Church

Last updated on: March 4, 2024 at 8:08 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The institutional church has faced and continues to face scandal after scandal because many who had been given positions of power and authority because they appeared to be holy and just were completely unworthy of the trust given to them. They were wolves in sheep’s clothing. In one way or another they abused that trust by the way they treated people, some of course, being far worse than others in this regard. What they had done would have been scandal... Read more

The Individual And The Cross

Last updated on: March 3, 2024 at 3:37 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The cross is raised up both as a guide, indicating the way we should live our life, and also as a sign of love, divine and human. Christ upon the cross reveals to us the way we should live, that is, the way of self-giving love, showing us that it is the way which God’s love is actualized. It is for this reason when we take up the cross for ourselves, we should realize we do it, not out sadism,... Read more

God Reigns With Equity

Each and every human person shares with each other the one and the same human nature; by nature, they are not only equal, they are meant to united together as one. Sin undermines that natural unity. It has humanity divide up against itself, turning persons into individuals who are no longer equal to each other, and the more they sin, the more such individuals will find themselves divided against each other, with some of them being obtaining more than their...

Often, Christians Are The Ones Who Undermine Human Rights

Last updated on: February 28, 2024 at 2:51 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The state should protect the common good, and with it, human rights, including the rights of those who are not citizens of the state. Human rights are universal, meaning, they transcend borders. This was, in part, one of the ideas which the founders of the United States employed to justify their independence from Great Britain; they believed that their rights had be violated, and to protect them, they had to cut ties from England. While it is good to see... Read more

Selfishness, Exclusive Self-Love And Hell

Last updated on: February 27, 2024 at 3:37 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Selfishness encourages us to seek our own private gain at the expense of others. It will encourage us to do things for own immediate gratification, and, because we find some initial satisfaction when we attain that gratification, it might seem our actions are justified. However, whatever pleasure we receive will only be temporary, and once it is gone, we will find ourselves in a worse position than we were before we acted, for our selfishness will have had us become...

Jesus Offers Himself As A Sacrifice Of Love

Last updated on: February 25, 2024 at 3:38 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God transcends all names, even the name of God. But, to deal with God, we give God many names, coming both from our experience with God and from revelation. They reflect the various activities of the one we call God; we must not confuse the names, and how we understand them, as being univocal with the way they are in the divine nature itself. Because of the way our minds work, as they seek to divide even things which are... Read more

To Overcome Temptations, Embrace Humility And Prayer

Last updated on: February 23, 2024 at 3:38 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Spiritual masters warn us that we will likely encounter all kinds of temptations throughout our temporal existence. We should not be surprised by them. We should not fall into despair when we experience them. We should know that they are trials which help build us up, and in this fashion, see them as a sign of hope, a sign that we have been given the opportunity to grow and become better. We do not have to give into temptation (and,... Read more

Sin, Mercy, Grace, And Reparations

Last updated on: February 21, 2024 at 3:36 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Christianity is a religion of mercy and grace, but such mercy and grace would be worthless if it were not also a religion of truth and justice. The truth matters. Justice matters. Mercy and grace only make sense if we recognize that satisfaction must be made for injustices. Neither would be needed if we are not to be held responsible for what we do, that is, for our sin. Both are necessary once we understand the harm we have done... Read more

Hating Hate

Last updated on: February 20, 2024 at 3:36 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Christ teaches that humanity is called to be one, to share with each other their hopes and fears, their triumphs and troubles (cf. Jn. 17:21). Sin has divided us up, warring against each other with hate, while Christ, overcoming sin, works to bring us back together and realize our essential unity in and through love. When we resist this, we resist Christ, and so fall back into the pattern of hate and sin. This is why, throughout our lives, we... Read more

Showing Respect To The Divine Image

Last updated on: February 18, 2024 at 3:39 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Images of the saints, as well as of Christ, are not only permitted, but should be used as aids in our worship and as a way for us to experience the kingdom of God in our temporal existence. In a way, they can be said to be windows into heaven, as in and through them, we get a glimpse of glorified existence. The reason why they are acceptable is because of the incarnation. God became one of us. Because the... Read more
