It is sad to think that even to this day and age many still would want to disprove that the apostles were liars and that some of them have an inaccurate account of Jesus' work and most of all the resurrection.
The resurrection is very vital to the Christian faith. We all know why.
The Intelligence of this world is indeed not rested. They claim to have peace in their hearts but failed to act on virtuously. Without HUMILITY there can NEVER be REAL PEACE and A COURAGE TO SUSTAIN A LOVE ( specially when there is so much pain) in one's heart.
No matter how you visualize your spirituality, Goodness in one's heart is the most common denominator of living in peace and practicing the LAW to love.
Men failed to see that without the virtue of true piety...there can never be ENDURANCE TO LOVE..... no matter how we try to use our Intelligence, Intelligence would always want a reason why we should love and be meek. Intelligence can be acquired but Humility is a grace given by GOD. Now, can you tell why some don't have it YET?
I say YET, since there is always a chance to be humble and kneel down. Prayer would be a start.
An honest prayer to GOD. How can one hide his pride from God?
You would only be fooling yourself if you think you can hide it forever.
A priest could be a victim too nor any person who has the same holy vocations. why?
It is Self righteousness..( PRIDE) ( confidence in oneself and knowledge) as explained in the book of St. John the Cross , where his own people , priest and other who claim to be close to God would hide under the cloak of so called "holy vocations" Yet became prey to the other side even if they think they re pleasing GOD.
I will say it over and over again. HUMILITY doesn't mean that you accept everything that is false and do not defend the truth. HUMILITY means advocating without the arrogance ,what virtue is there to gain with arrogance when other people opposes your views? When one knows he is far intelligent than the other? but one can NEVER love with anger nor boasting.
It is just hard to explain but one knows who is deep rooted in love because he has to love.
no questions asked. A human being would be so limited but only with the Grace Of God and how Jesus has perfected it...that even in the end he was praying for his persecutor, indeed a martyr but can one be able to endure it, Would you have done the same thing? I doubt it. I doubt myself too. I would be in excruciating pain and i pray for my shit list? Noway! but because Jesus was the way and the life , HE was perfect. He was a symbol , He was the beginning of something beautiful and the truth - is We just have to accept and humble ourselves that indeed He was the son of God - In so many ways, God has revealed himself already. What else do we want?
What proof do we need , A humble heart may seem dumb but i am sure he would have the most peaceful heart ever lived.
I tried to read different books on skeptics...( by the way they were called skeptics because they can not prove that Jesus body was indeed hidden nor found. ) "As they usually say, to see is to believe " I would rather think their state would all be in limbo.....books ..whatever..still in limbo..( there was no BODY found) :)
Ofcourse... there was a resurrection.
as the discussion of one site was saying:
Former “hatchet man” of the Nixon administration, Chuck Colson, implicated in the Watergate scandal, pointed out the difficulty of several people maintaining a lie for an extended period of time.
"I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, and then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world—and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible."26
In anyway, I would still be rambling...lol but guess what, I know deep inside of every one's mind that disproves that resurrection is a hoax , still needs one thing....( human side of it) recognition! and love. Love , love,love,love , still love. I don't know how the world has treated them...but as I remember how Saint Teresa of Avila once said...
"Lord , IS this how you treat your friends...? no wonder you don't have much friends."
( she laughs) ...the humour was not meant that God didn't have friends but because even when you are with God you are NOT spared from trouble nor anxiety or even persecution. But He gears you up, He throws you help when one needs it. St. Teresa had written beautiful ways of knowing God even to the last days of her life. It was like the world was seeing her suffer but NOT REALLY. :)
as i mentioned...below that there is no enough explanation to a non believer nor a discussion needed to a believer.
If we claim to love JC. then we follow his works and heart. I know its hard but one has to try
Having a prayer life is ALWAYS A POWERHOUSE.
Perfect weapon for conversion and the weapon to fight the unknown.
Always remember that!
God does listen to an honest and a humble heart.
Keep trying...
