THE NECESSARY EXISTENCE OF GOD -- IMPOSSIBILITY OF DENIAL

THE NECESSARY EXISTENCE OF GOD
 
IMPOSSIBILITY OF DENIAL

     Men and women have countless ideas, of their mother, father, sister, brother, children and cousins, homes, automobiles, cell phones and computers. Without such ideas men would know absolutely nothing. To have an idea of something is to know that it really exists, for when we say I have an idea, it indicates knowledge of what the idea represents. If we say we have no idea of something it means we are ignorant of it. It is impossible to have any idea without the spirit given by God to all men, for an idea is an image and representative of a being in our spirit. Modern Psychology has erroneously dogmatized that our ideas and remembrances are brain cells. But material brains cannot produce spiritual phenomena such as ideas. It is important to know the source of ideas which is certainly not in the human brain. Ideas and cognition, intelligence and feelings with volition are not matter but are spiritual entities.

      An idea is the image of a certain being which we have in our spirit, and by which the spirit is able to contemplate or consider the being. Without an idea we could not contemplate beings or ourselves.

SODOMY FORNICATION ADULTERY

SODOMY FORNICATION ADULTERY
 
 
 
  The Scriptural divine words herein speak against all manner of sin, for it does not matter which sin we commit, for both small and great sins separate us from the kind and merciful God of love and peace. Sexual sins rage like a roaring fire in the modern world, affecting young and old alike. Sodomy however, is singled out in both the Old and New Testament as something to be avoided at all costs. St. John Chrysostom says that a young man should prefer death to this sin.
re HOMOSEXUALITY:



     "And the two angels came to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat by the gate of Sodom, and Lot having seen them rose up to meet them, and he bowed his face to the ground, and said, Lo, my lords, turn aside to the house of your servant and rest from your journey, and wash your feet, and having risen early in the morning you shall depart on your journey. No, we will lodge in the street. And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them and they did eat.

 
     But before they went to sleep, the men of the city, the Sodomites, gathered all around the house, both young and old, all the people together. And they called out to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to you this night?
