All religion is full of a sense of uneasiness and need of deliverance; every great student of human nature has echoed as true the words of the great Latin poet Ovid, who testified that we all approve the better things, but often follow the worse; all peoples and nations have put their golden age in the past, when the chosen ones of their race once walked with God.

 What is this universal testimony of humanity but the witness to the fact of original sin? Our lives are like the great unfinished Gothic cathedrals of Europe, ever testifying that our ideals are never completely realized here below. The conjectures of anthropologists about primitive man are nothing compared to the solid fact of the sense of human sin. By its nature, the evidence of Eden is something we cannot find. By its nature the evidence of Eden is something one cannot help finding. As a matter of personal experience something has happened - we are not what we ought to be.

There are ultimately only two possible theories to account for the nature and the origin of man; one is that the life of man is a push from below; the other, that the life of man is a gift from above; the one is the man is wholly on earth, earthly; the other, that he is partly of the heavens, heavenly.

The second is the Christian conception; man is not a risen beast, he is rather a kind of fallen angel. His origin is hidden not in the slime and dust of prehistoric forests, but in the real daylight of paradise where he communed with God; his origin looks back not to cosmic forces, but to divine grace. On this conception man is supposed to act not like a beast because he came from one, but like God because he was made to His own image and likeness.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
