They had to swear that ‘I shall leave the city not less but more beautiful than I found it.'” This would be considered a positive oath. What is Creator’s perspective, and is this oath truly benign?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma239 views0 answers0 votesDr. Viktor Frankl wrote: “… a man who belongs to a given nation is obviously neither guilty nor meritorious by that fact alone. His guilt would begin when, for example, he did not cultivate in himself the special talents of the nation, or took no part in national cultural values; while he would be acting meritoriously if he overcame in himself certain characterological weaknesses of the nation by a conscious process of self-examination.” Frankl’s perspective is quite thought provoking when it is understood that some of the most common oaths sworn today are to the nations that people live in. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma197 views0 answers0 votesNorman Douglas said: “Never take a solemn oath. People might think you mean it.” This would be especially true if it was a “witnessed” event.

Some people consider this urban myth and don’t want to believe that this actually happens. However, a recent local story about a random shooting was published in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For the story, the reporter consulted with a former Chicago gang member for his analysis. The consultant says to join the gang the shooter was suspected of trying to join, a person must kill a rival gang member or someone random. But the rules are they can’t get caught. What can Creator tell us? Is this an urban myth? And if not, how widespread a problem is it?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma204 views0 answers0 votesIt would seem that the power of an oath depends on how successfully it alters and/or cements belief. Is it correct to say it’s not the oath itself that binds, but the effect it has on the beliefs of oath takers, oath administrators, and oath witnesses?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma185 views0 answers0 votesGeorge Washington said: “Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation deserts the oaths.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma198 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the American “Pledge of Allegiance?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma233 views0 answers0 votesSamuel Coleridge Taylor said: “The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God’s wrath upon himself, if he speaks false; it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma222 views0 answers0 votesThe Lightworker Healing Protocol expressly lists “oaths” as a spiritual reality requiring healing intervention. Can Creator summarize why this is so, and how Empowered Prayer and The Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to reverse the damage to the soul they can do?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma207 views0 answers0 votesCan you help us understand the factors that undermine the belief of children in the divine as they are growing up, and ways their spiritual learning is neglected in some fashion, even by well-meaning parents?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Creator594 views0 answers0 votes
