The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: A Pathway to Divine Fulfillment

The concept of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in the New Testament, is a profound testament to the intricate and transcendent relationship between humanity and the divine. These gifts are not merely symbolic tokens; they are transformative powers that enable individuals to transcend their ordinary limitations and align themselves with a higher purpose. To truly grasp the magnitude of these gifts, one must delve into their biblical foundations and understand their psychological and spiritual implications. In 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, the Apostle Paul provides a detailed enumeration of these gifts: “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish betwee...

change.org is a big disappointment and so is the Nobel Prize awarding body

  There has recently been a petition filed against the receiving of a Nobel prize of one, Maria Ressa of Rappler.  And when the signatories almost reached 200,000, it was taken down by change.org hence change.org is a big fake site.  It was supposed to be a platform of change, but it seems when people start petitioning against their allies, they'll shut us up.  So much for freedom of speech, they've just managed to silence the nearly 200,000 who signed and contributed to this.

Bishop Barron Tackles Top Questions By Young People in Reddit

  Another episode by Bishop Barron that I find very informative and interesting.  In this episode, he talks about the top questions he got in 2 of his Reddit AMA (ask me anything) experience.  Click here for the link of one of those reddit sessions. The link of the Youtube video below is where he summarizes the top 3   questions and he gives very good explanation to each of them. The first question is that they ask him to prove God's existence. Does God exist?  And I liked Bishop Barron's answer by answering from the perspective of science. The second question is that why does evil and suffering exist?  And the last one is, how do you know that your religion is the right one?  I encourage you to listen for his answers to all 3 questions. Spare a few minutes and you'll be satisfied.
