Inspiring quote

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

St Francis of Assisi
SW-User
I think of something that C S Lewis said, that while he recognised that objectively he was becoming better, subjectively he knew/saw himself as being worse. It is the paradox of transformation.

This also reveals the substance of Faith/Trust. That if that which is "good" is not of ourselves then it points to the actual nature of Reality, that is not of ourselves in the same sense.

"Praise be to God that I am not good"

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NT)
My favorite saint. I love the prayer attributed to him.

Jesus did not know when the last hour is?
Jesus is not omniscient.He don't know everything. Jesus don't know the last hour.As it was said in the bible "But concerning that day or that hour,no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,nor the Son,but only the Father." Mark 13:32
HOW COME HE IS GOD?

God is not a boy and it doesn't fit for God to be curcumcised,God does not pea or.......its not appropriate for him...God has no any Gender but Jesus was a boy had circumcised as the bible says in luke 2:21
he On the eighth day, whenit was time to circumcise the child,he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

@Lionehaza God became man to humble himself and took our transgressions on himself, so we can live with him in paradise.

@Carazaa why he become man since he is God.He can do everything.He doesnt need to be human to understand how we suffer.And its unfair if a Mr A kills 1000 children or rape your mother and zen the judge say i sacrifice my only son to compenset your loss.Do you call this justice.Mr B ,Mr C,D,E .....will do the same....think what will happen to humanity....You can do everything and no one is accountable because jesus died for your sin....it was possible for God to forgive Adam for his sin.....and make us live in paradise forever.God can make many things and must not wait till today.Life would be meaningles.If you say that jesus died for your sin and no worries then what is the purpose of life.....it would be meaningles.it would you can do anything just belive in jesus the after you die you will enetr paradise.Why are you created for? Pleass tell me...

God became man to show us that he can understand our hardships and he can relate to us, as he humbled himself even unto death.

Because he loves us so much he took all our sins on his own shoulders. There is no sin in heaven. We are sinful, all of us. He saved us and made us clean. Praise God what a wonderful God we have!
Amen! True of all of us!

I really doubt he committed genocide or other actual unholy stuff.
