She had five husbands, not four. <br /><br />Colleen, little boys loved to play cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, those types of games, when I was young. Seems those little boys our age now still love playing those games in the world. Seems they are stuck in neural entrainment.butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684946870144030594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-5983768851018978152010-03-19T06:02:19.915-06:002010-03-19T06:02:19.915-06:00I agree whole heartedly with you Dennis.

We haven't gotten the message through metaphor and parable, maybe we can start to get it through science.<br /><br />Butterfly, one of the things we are learning through science is that morality via denial does not work well. It sets up a neurochemical feedback loop which focuses attention on the actions of the hind brain at the expense of the forebrain. Or to put it differently, it places us in the vorld view of neural entrainment which was set in childhood.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-15200062334872442832010-03-18T23:42:11.906-06:002010-03-18T23:42:11.906-06:00As a scientist with multiple doctorates educated m...As a scientist with multiple doctorates educated mostly in Catholic Universities, I must say that I firmly believe that scientific observation IS listening to the Holy Spirit. No, I have not prayed the complete Rosary in years, but have moved on to centering prayer which I think informs my actions. I do believe actions taken this way are much more valuable to find Christ in myself and others. dennisrdp46https://www.blogger.com/profile/04427786268228285222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-37293360512964910042010-03-18T18:40:15.549-06:002010-03-18T18:40:15.549-06:00That's telling it like it truly is Colleen.
...That's telling it like it truly is Colleen. <br /><br />The Gospel truth is that Jesus spoke to a woman at Jacob's well, and he knew she was co-habitating with a man who was not her husband and that she had four other husbands. He did not condemn her or shun her, and what truly transpired goes over the heads of many. I think it is a Bible story pertinent to what Jesus did and what he would do today. <br /><br />You're right, we won't be around because they do not read the sign of the times according to the ways of the sacred heart of Jesus & they don't know, but claim to know what Jesus did. You are right. They don't know what Jesus did, and so they do stupid things that are hurtful in many ways to many people, including themselves. <br /><br />These Aquinas heads remind me of the moralist who had alcohol banned in the last century. A real lame approach to "healing" people and it seems so similar an approach to "resolving" issues they feel are harmful to the faithful, to lay down the law and be tyrannical and start wars.<br /><br />My heart is truly aching for people to get to know the Jesus of the Gospels and to ask Him to come into their hearts and heal them of their ignorance and blindness. Anyone faithful to Jesus needs to do this everyday.butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684946870144030594noreply@blogger.com
