.... said that he was behaving consistently with what he believed and taught. His accusers said that his recanting was a proof of his guilt. What were real motives why Molinos admitted his "guilt"? Molinos once said: "The true quietists are always quiet, serene and eve-minded in Graces and in extraordinary favors as also in the most rigorous and bitter torments.

Was Mol .....

.... answer emergency calls on the Sabbath, even though this may violate the day's whole meaning. Abortions, when necessary to save the mother, are mandatory. In Jewish law, the unborn are not yet considered human, thus the mother's life is far more important. Because life is so valuable, we are not permitted to do anything that may hasten death, not even to prevent suffering. Euthanasia, suicide and assisted suicide are strictly forbidden by Jewish law. Their laws are so strict that you are not even allowed to move a dying person's arm or leg if it would s .....

.... to God) and 1 Corinthians 2:13 (his words were given to us by the Holy Spirit) tells of God's spirituality. God is very just. He judges all that sin with eternal punishment. But God is also a fair God and allows us to repent and trust in him to get forgiveness and eternal life. Psalm 9:16 (The Lord punishes the wicked justly) and 101:1 (I will sing about your kindness and justness) tell of how God is just. God is very truthful. He never lies or breaks his promises to us. 1 Kings 17:24 (Everything from the Lord is truthful) and Isaiah 45:19 (I Jehovah .....

.... of forest (woods). Anyway, I've been going down there ever since I was like six or seven. When I was big enough, my dad bought a dirt bike for me and my brother. After that, we owned the woods. We would go down there every Friday after school, and we would hit the woods as soon as we got down there to make some new trails to ride on. During the summer, there is nothing I like better than to sit back in the woods, with the sun shining through the trees, a nice cool breeze blowing, and think about stuff. You always see those Christian pictures of some prover .....

.... taught of the enlightment, and the chain has continued on to this present day. The Buddha was not a God, and he made no claim to divinity. There is no concept of a creator in Buddhism. He was a human being who, thought tremendous efforts, transformed himself. The state of Enlightenment which he reached has three main facets. It is a state of wisdom, of insight into the true nature of things. It is also a source or boundless compassion, manifesting itself in activity for the benefit of all beings. and it the total liberation of all the energies of the mind a .....

.... of "enlightenment." One day in 533, according to tradition, he met an old man, a sick man, and a dead body, and he suddenly realized that suffering is the common part of humankind. He then met a beggar monk who was calm and peaceful and decided to adopt his way of life and family, wealth, and power in the search for truth. This decision, known in Buddhism as the Great Renunciation, is celebrated by Buddhists as a turning point in history. Gautama was then 29 years old, according to tradition.

.... other also. These seem like simple, logical rules to live by. But, they reflected a time in history where that kind of love for one another was hard to find because of the hardships inflicted upon the people. I find some conflict in Jesus' actions, however. Jesus never (as far as I know) says to ignore to commandments of God in the Hebrew Scriptures; however, constantly breaks the Sabbath (Matt 12:13 and others), and gives VERY flimsy and unconvincing explanations for it. I am not sure what his message was in those actions. Perhaps he didn't care? .....
