Re: [JOYnet] Query : God or Parents ??
There is a small correction in the first line of third para instead of Definitely obedience to God's will comes after obedience to parents it will be read thus Definitely obedience to God's will comes before obedience to parents. Dear Friends, This is a very tricky question? But if we delve a little deeply, we will understand. Firstly we should be sure whether what we understand is truly the will of God. Most of the times, our mind suggests that this is right and thats why its the will of God. We have to be very sure that what we feel is the will of God is truly His will or our will?? This can be done by regular prayer, fasting reading the Bible. Normally God's will is not revealed directly. He uses many channels like our friends, benefactors, office colleagues, priest, our councellors, our brothers, sisters, relatives or even our parents. Sometimes what we think is God's will, our parents might say it's not. Then instead of starting a heated argument, we should ponder and find out why our parents are against it? Maybe we will get our answer there. Definitely obedience to God's will come after obedience to parents. When we obey God, we can never disobey our parents. Our God will never allow that. But the evil one is very smart, he will use our family to bind us to do the will of God at times. But here we should remind ourselves of the word of God, I have come not to bring peace but division It may happen that when we obey God's will we may receive opposition from our near and dear ones. But the word of God says that it will happen. But if we ignore the will of God so that our family will be happy then that happiness won't be long lasting and we won't have peace of mind. We should never ignore the first commandment of God i.e. To love Him with all our heart, mind and soul the rest will follow. Sooner or later our parents will understand the calling of God. We can see this in the life of so many saints who left their homes, even disobeyed their parents to do the will of God and the best example is St. Francis of Assisi. I would like to add here that we cannot compare God's love with anyone not even our parents. His will for us is our good and for the good of all. Our parents don't know what lies in the future but God knows. But again we have to be cautious in finding His will for us. But one thing even we if we get opposition from our parents in doing the will of God, we should remember this one thing that we should not be rebellious with our parents cause thats not the spirit of God. Spirit of God is gentle and patient. We need to be patient and pray to God to give us the strenght to face the opposition and God will show us the way. I wud like to end with the following quote which I keep reminding myself always : God's will in God's ways will never lack God's supply.

[JOYnet] You are so blessed
Dear Friends in Christ..., My friend sent me this it is quite sobering... If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there would be: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be non-white 30 would be white 70 would be non-Christian 30 would be Christian 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States. 80 would live in substandard housing 70 would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition 1 would have a college education 1 would own a computer And also consider: If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, ! the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death ... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

[JOYnet] Never Judge Our Self
Dear Friends, Jim a great magician well known for his magical shows backed all most all the trophies wherever he participated. As the time went thru his shows also improved too. He slowly started judging himself as a great magician who knows everything; I almost completed all the chapters of magic. Lot of changes came in his life, One day while doing a show taking a pot covered with a black cloth he said I am going to change to a bunch of flower, he spoke something and opened, nothing happened, a very simple thing according to the books he doesnt understand whats happening he repeated the saying he said in his mind I am trying what I have learned from text and used to do, with in split of seconds everything went wrong he was forced to cu! t the show, his fans began to curse him he was so sadden by the thought. He needs a relaxation to have a new beginning in life. So he decided to leave to his sisters house. There, he learned a lesson that too from a little boy what he missed in the daily run. He saw his sisters a son though a little boy not even know how to pray offer his pray to our Loving Lord in his ways, my loving Lord help me out in all my ways, fill me with ur Spirit to remind me all what I have learned and to learn easily. Come to my school as a friend of mine. That time he understood he was nothing, I have not learned the basics, he regretted the past, the next moment the famous magician kneeled down. Friends, never judge ourselves give thanks to Him for what we have and always ask the guidance of our loving Lord and our Loving Mother.

my comments on [JOYnet] Query : God or Parents ??
Hi Joynetters, This is a very interesting query which jason has brought to our notice. My answer is very childish, forgive me, but i like to keep things simple. In Sunday School i learnt, Who made you ?- God made me; My parents learnt the same thing. So if god made me and god made my parents then who is bigger and better , God obviously. The Creator is greater than the creatures and knows much more abt what he plans to do with them. So we obey him and honour our parents ( the commandments say, Honour your father and mother). Obedience and Honour are two different things, it need not be that i obey the person i honour or that i honour the one i obey(e.g A dictator like hitler was obeyed , but it doesnt mean he was honoured by all his people). Most of the times Gods will and our parents will coincides..no problem At times when they dont, its time to use a little bit of our common sense and a little bit of Holy spirits help in discerning what is the right thing to do and how to convey it to our parents in an un-offensive manner. Love and Prayers Ravi I Am To Blessed To Be Stressed !!! seena George [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:The answer is Obeying our parents. Many times in the scripture and in the lives of saints and in reported and accepted apparitions, we see heaven rejoicing when we obey our superiors and elders. Because that is what Christ taught us. But if our superiors ask us to do evil, then we should not obey them, but pray for them. Jesus Loves You. Original Message Follows From: Jason :) To: Subject: [JOYnet] Query : God or Parents ??

Re: [JOYnet] Controversial versus?
Hi Vimal, From the tone of the letter you presented, it seems as though the writer is somewhat mocking the Christian faith and what we as Catholics believe. In fact, it's a bit disheartening to read it. The question of understanding the bible (whether it be literally or symbolically) is probably one that takes much study and insight. I'm sure any one of our learned reverend fathers on joynet can address the questions laid out by the writer, point by point. I remember being taught that we are supposed to live according to the New Testament. Perhaps others can shed a little more light to this? Thanks,...Mary --Calgary, Canada From: Vimal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JOYnet] Controversial versus? Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 10:58:23 +0530 Hi every one, Please read the following text which i got from friend (he too is in joynet) .The text doesnot justify homosexualiy implicitly but then points to some controversial versus which we find difficult and avoid quiet often. Don't we, quiet often pray open the bible (looking out for quick decisions) get one of these worses gets degected and closed the bible. Here we have some worses which requires some explanation and understanding, and ofcourse there are plenty other such as, god orders to annihilate the whole of moabite tribe for their idolatry including the newborn ?. The words are not just limited to leviticus but through out the old testament. I thnk it's good idea to have some brain storm in this matter which will enhance our understanding of our bible. Looking forward to ur views and ideas . Luv and prayers Vimal Gracian Dear : Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them: 1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence. 4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyesterblend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? -Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

RE: [JOYnet] Controversial versus?
Hi friends in Christ, I dont think its worth wasting our energy in such type of negative discussions. These are such questions which are arised by protestents regarding our faith in Mother Mary. We know what is right and wrong in the present world according to the teaching of the Bible. Then why should we think about Old Testament and its teachings.
