Resurrection of Christ

Enjoy this poem taken from the following Christian page:

A Young Fellow of Trinity

There was a young fellow of Trinity

Who found the square root of infinity

But the number of digits

Gave him the fidgets;

So he dropped Maths and took up Divinity.

Religion, Bible, Faith, Prayer: FaithFrequently, I asked myself why God gives us ...

As the breeze in the afternoon is the spiritual experience of believers. Soft and sweet is your company. Blessed be God; is He who arrives.

The Bible

If heaven and earth were created in six days or if number 'six' is a biblical symbol does not change this religious story. It does not change the faith of believers. Strictly the Bible is not a scientific or historic book. The Bible is primarily a story of God deeds in favor of a community of followers represented by the Israelites in the old testament and on these days for churches or temples surviving among developed cultures and surrounded by powerful cities.

The Bible is a story of love, care and relationship between God and "His people". It is a story of commitment, agreement between two parties. Men would honor and love their God. God would love, save mankind and give life.

Now I'm going to remain silent so you can find the atmosphere to enjoy this wonderful passage from the Book of Genesis Chapter 1

God created Heaven, Earth, and everything within them in six days.

The creation of light1:1. In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
1:2. The earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; the spirit of God moved over the waters.
1:3. God said: "Let light be made." And light was made.
1:4. God saw that the light was good; and He divided the light from the darkness.
1:5. He called the light Day and the darkness Night, and there was evening and morning, one day.
1:6. Then God said, "Let there be a firmament made amid the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

Faith

Frequently, I asked myself why God gives us the difficult path of faith to reach Him. Faith has so many aspects, facets, colors, flavors, sensations, fruits, stages, savors, tones, feelings, qualities and styles. The diverse, multifaceted experience of faith makes men able to move from one emotional/spiritual state to another that could be a totally different religious experience and often this change happens an instant.

 Faith is a Theological virtue; it is one of the 3 -the other 2 are Hope and Love- that points to reach God or have a relationship with Him. Theological virtues differ from other kind of virtues such as Cardinal virtues as Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Courage or Fortitude, human virtues that have to do with the opportunity for men to improve through them interactions among individuals and communities.

Perhaps, the reason why the virtue of faith is preponderant to please God and grow spiritually as men himself as image of God could experience is to be believed, to be understood, to be faithful to the word and promise given. This could become one of the most rewarding experience that he/she may have. Hebrews 11:6 says "Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.”
