Righteousness — Apart from the Law

Now we know that whatever the Law says it speaks to those who are under the Law , so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the Law no human being will be justified in His sight, since through the Law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the Law , although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe . For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus... It was to show His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.. Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Or is God the ...

Relationships between consciousness and co-working

God's Wisdom — Suneidesis & Sunergos I recently discovered a fractal phenomenon between two fundamental things: a principle related to human thinking and relational processes. These are heaven - initiated merits and values decoded in the new testamental apostolic mindset. When scrutinizing human relationships and community dynamics we can see: the two are inseparable. Since they are in the same fractal: Both create unity, integration at their own different levels. Both have coherence and alignment which helps (or drives) the parts /members. (The result below came from an interesting conversation with Claude.ai.) Brief definitions Suneidesis (Greek: συνείδησις) is an ancient Greek term that means "conscience" or "consciousness of something". Synergy (Greek: συνεργία = synergía), derived from syn- (with/together) and ergon (work), meaning "working together") describes the phenomenon where the combined effec...

Tell the child that I am still alive

Image
... A nurse came to me in great physical need. Her faith had sunk to almost zero. Then I received a very short message. "Tell the child that I am still alive!" What else could I have added to that? What a pity that the Lord himself did not speak more often in this way. He certainly has something to say to us! But his goodness is so great that he sometimes descends (personally) to his children to convince them directly. Praise be to his holy name! Did you have any contact with priests? Sometimes priests came to me to ask for advice on personal matters; often the advice was to pray. One priest occasionally asked me to lay my hands on his wife, who was suffering from severe depression. When he saw me, he always said: "They lay their hands on the sick, and they are healed." May I ask how you felt about the church in this country? During my career as an officer {in the Salvation Army} I didn't have much time to attend church services. Aft...

(acidic text) Intro Proper self-assessment is a delicate matter. It requires an orderly system of personal relationships and a great deal of grace. When we calmly and lovingly endure our conflicts and learn from them, when the unknown and invisible areas become smaller and smaller and our weaknesses, which are understandable to others from the outside, become more and more obvious, then our self-esteem problems also decrease significantly. They do not disappear—we live in a sinful world—but they are not the main problem and, above all, they do not provide a basis for false identity and compensatory behavior. {At the same time, I admit and confess that I am familiar with the following from personal failures or temptations.} Restless souls However, there are restless souls. Those who always have a ready explanation and justification for the correctness of their actions. These are mostly extroverted individuals whose satisfaction factor only reaches around 98% when ...

A Kóborló Szellem-Árus

(The Roaming Spirit-Trader - acidic text) Intro A helyes önértékelés kényes jószág. Rendezett személyes kapcsolat rendszer és sok sok kegyelem szükségeltetik hozzá. Amikor nyugodtan és szeretetben elviseljuk konfliktusainkat és tanulunk azokból, amikor a számunkra ismeretlen láthatatlan terület egyre kisebb lesz és a mások számára kívülről érthető gyengeségünk egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, akkor önértékelési problémáink is jelentősen csökkennek. Nem szűnnek ugyan meg - bűnös világban élünk - de nem a fő problémát képezik és főleg nem adnak alapot hamis identitásnak és pótcselekvésnek. {Ugyanakkor itt azt is beismerem és megvallom, hogy a következőket személyes bukásokból vagy kísértésekből is ismerem.} Nyughatatlan lelkek Vannak azonban nyughatatlan lelkek. Olyanok akiknek mindig van kész magyarázatuk és igazolásuk tettek helyességére. Ezek többnyire extrovertált személyek akiknek elégedettségi faktora csak akkor jut el 98% körüli értékre, ha az általuk képviselt {vagy ép...
