This should be sustained major news world wide - Europe - Asia - Middle East - Americas - Africa - Uk - Russia (NIS) - Pacific - Christians - Jews - Muslims - Universal Truths!
The Catholic Church has the Answer: Theology of The Body. The Spiritual Truth of the Person is Revealed Through the Body.
Good News! The Catholic Church has been given the answer to many world problems. Remember, the Catholic Church is not a mere human institution. The Catholic Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has been preserved from falling into doctrinal error on matters of faith and morals. The true Church founded by Jesus Christ, is a pillar and foundation of the truth ( 1 Tim 3:15 ). Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit the Catholic Church has been given the Theology of the Body, by Pope John Paul ll. The Theology of the Body has been called a kind of "theological time bomb" set to go off in the 21st Century. When The Theology of the Body is "discovered" by the world, then human hearts will change - worldwide. Civilizations will be changed. Here are some resources that people of all world religions can use ( Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc. ) to start learning the "Theology of the Body". Here is Truth, in its beauty and splendor. Learn to live the truth of the Body. Learn the whole Gospel message. Learn the whole mission of Jesus Christ. Turn towards God and His plan "in the beginning." Look at, and become like, original man and original woman as they were before the fall. Naked without shame! You will soon see the universality of this teaching; especially its appeal to a higher authority with direct application to all human beings. The Theology of the Body deals with fundamental aspects of society like family, marriage, and what it is to be human - a man or woman - made in the image and likeness of God. Theology of the Body beautifully deals with origins, family, history, destiny, redemption, truth, lies and counterfeits, and original sin - the denial of the gift of God's love.
Instructions for Christians of Today. The final goal at which this instruction aims is Love . ( Galatians 5:6 The New Jerusalem Bible ) " . . . We are led by the Spirit to wait in the confident hope of saving justice through faith, since in Christ Jesus it is not being circumcised or being uncircumcised that can effect anything - only faith working through love . . ."
Saint Therese of Lisieux, 1873-1897 " . . . Instead of becoming discouraged, I said to myself: God cannot inspire unrealizable desires. I can, then, in spite of my littleness, aspire to holiness . . . "
Christians of today, like the early Christians before them, should strive to " . . . be perfect... as your heavenly father is perfect . . . " ( Mt. 5:48 ) ( Mt 19:21 ) . We are all called to be Saints. Saints exercise heroic virtue. We are called to be like Christ ( John 14:9-21 ) ( Mark 8:34-38 ). With divine help, and by ordinary people becoming saints, or striving to be virtuous, the Catholic Church survived and grew. [ For general rules of Christian behaviour see ( Colossians 3:1-17 ). ] Emphasizing the positive, the three theological virtues we should strive for are: faith, hope and charity. The four cardinal virtues we should strive for are: justice, prudence, temperance, and fortude. Notice Scripture's clear mandate to confess and proclaim "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27 ) - in all its truth. The unity of the divine plan in the two Testaments should not be overlooked. We should read the Old Testament in light of the New and the New testament in light of the Old. We can see that what God says and does in the Old Testament points us to what Jesus says and does in the New Testament, and what Jesus says and does in the New Testament sheds light on the promises and events we read about in the Old Testament.
We, in the Pilgrim Church on earth, are at war with Satan. ( Ephesians 6:13 ) 13" . . . you must take up all God's armour...So stand your ground, with truth a belt round your waist [loins] . . . " Notice especially here, that the Bible does say, "all" God's armour. Notice again the word "all" in ( Deuteronomy 6:5 ) " . . . You must love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. Let the words I enjoin on you today stay in your heart . . . " The Bible does say "all." Satan seeks to divide us. Be not afraid. We are not alone. God is with us. God is love. We have allies in this war. We are being helped by the communion of saints - even those in purgatory - while we are on our journey home to the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Whoever Loves God must also Love his Brother.
( 1 John 4:17-20 New Jerusalem Bible ) " . . . Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and whoever is afraid has not come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us . . . "
( Psalm 24:4-6) " . . . The pure of heart will receive a blessing from Yahweh . . . "( 1 Timothy 1:5 ) " . . . The final goal at which this instruction aims is love, issuing from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith . . ."
