If genuine knowledge is our quest, a strengthening of faith seems like it might freeze us in place, and inhibit our growth as opposed to facilitating it. Can Creator explain how strengthening one’s faith is in fact NOT synonymous with closing one’s mind?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential469 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Humility is one of the core values of wisdom teachings, expounded as a most valuable quality in human character. What exactly is humility? Why is it so important?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance487 views0 answers0 votesHe also asks: “How is humility best cultivated? And how can we help nurture it in our young people, especially?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance619 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I’m wondering now about the iconic biblical sacrifice that Abraham was asked to make of his beloved son Isaac by God back in the time of the Book of Genesis. Isaac was a son born late in life by our standards at least. According to Scriptures, his wife Rebekah bore Isaac at the age of 99. This seems to be yet another example of the Dark Alliance working against humanity to confuse about the nature of the loving God, but the people of faith seem to twist themselves into virtual pretzels explaining how this was necessary to show true faith in God. Are they right, and did Creator really ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac?”ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Religions647 views0 answers0 votesIn the Bible, Matthew chapter 7, verse 15, it says “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Can Creator share with us what Christ meant by this statement? “Who” are the wolves in sheep’s clothing? And does the average person even need to think about this seriously?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers579 views0 answers0 votesThe word “sheeple” is bandied about today prodigiously. Most people consider the word an insult. Yet no one thinks rams (male sheep) are pushovers, and more than a few shepherds have been severely injured or even killed by their flock. So this is a baseless notion that sheep are completely passive and defenseless. So when Christ was using the word “sheep” ostensibly in reference to the common people, just what was he attempting to convey?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers471 views0 answers0 votesMany people think sheep are easily led. However, the invention of barbed wire has almost entirely eliminated the need for shepherding and even rendered the sheep dog’s important job to the pages of history. Shepherding sheep is almost certainly more difficult and challenging than modern people think it is. Is there wisdom in thinking that comparing people to sheep two thousand years ago, was a lot less insulting and much more informative than it is today?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers456 views0 answers0 votesSheep flock together for safety and community. Everyone knows there is strength and safety in numbers. The bigger the flock, the safer statistically any individual sheep is, especially if an individual sheep can maintain its position in the center of the flock. Hence the “centrist” which most people consider a wise position to be in. What is Creator’s perspective on being a “centrist” in both life and politics?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers475 views0 answers0 votesThe problem with being a centrist if you are sheep, is that you essentially have no personal freedom. You MUST move with the flock or be trampled. If you travel at the periphery of the flock, you have more freedom but are at a much greater risk of falling prey to predators. It’s also true that no one can lead from the center. You must be at the periphery and in the vanguard to lead. In this troublesome world the desire to exist safely is understandable, but often derided as cowardly. As divine humans sent here to solve the problem of evil, is traveling at the center of the flock and letting others lead, so that one has increased safety from predators, a shirking of duty?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers467 views0 answers0 votesThe contrast between the wolf and the sheep couldn’t be starker. Wolves are predators, sheep are herbivores. Wolves are fierce, and sheep are comparatively gentle and passive. Wolves do travel in packs, but not so tightly as to constrict freedom of independent movement. Yet wolves are SO aggressive and dangerous, that they are not used as symbols of civility and group harmony. When Christ was talking about wolves in sheep’s clothing was he implying that the goal was perhaps to be neither wholly one or the other? Instead, was the calling for us to be SHEPHERDS and not wolves or sheep? To be rather a DIVINE HUMAN rather than a mere animal?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers457 views0 answers0 votesChrist is often referred to as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” What is meant by that? Seems to be perhaps an imperfect metaphor that conveys some great truths on the one hand, but is also perhaps a corruption and disparagement on the other?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers485 views0 answers0 votesIn the Bible, Romans chapter 16, verses 17 to 19, the Apostle Paul says: “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.” This passage, because it uses the word “appetite” is widely regarded by Biblical scholars as referencing “wolves in sheep’s clothing.” What does it say about the imperative to seek wisdom and overcome naiveté, especially regarding consensus narratives shaped and maintained by politicians, the media, and even the clergy?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers468 views0 answers0 votesThe wolf in sheep’s clothing implies the presence and manipulation of the “evil genius,” difficult to not only spot, but just as difficult, if not more so, to warn the fellow sheep about the wolf in their midst, leading them astray. If one only takes things at face value, they will never see beyond the costume and discern the wolf inside. What does the metaphor of the wolf in sheep’s clothing tell us about not trusting the obvious?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers430 views0 answers0 votesIn praying for discernment, we are, perhaps sometimes unwittingly, asking to see the unpleasant more than the pleasant, and for help identifying the wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst. Can Creator share how prayer for discernment and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help us develop the capacity and the needed strength to both see the wolves in our midst and do something truly effective about them?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers557 views0 answers0 votes
