What Was The Means Of Transmission Did Jesus Make Of Our Christian Faith?

 Post your answer in the comment section. Thank you!

"If there is a God in this world, why is there evil and suffering?"

Quite a few times I've heard and read over in social media the challenge posted by agnostic/atheist relatives and friends against us Christian counterparts the common objection "If there is a God, why is there evil and suffering?" or something to this effect. And therefore conclude that there is no God, and to believe in such supernatural being is irrational and illogical. Many also have their faith shaken because of this and have turned away from God altogether to join atheists and embrace its worldview instead. Recommended Book. Visit Amazon https://amzn.to/3o8Cu5V As Christians, we understand where they are coming from and share in their sentiment as well, as nobody--whether you are a believer or not--are exempted from evil and suffering in this world. There are already multiple apologetics concerning this topic you may easily find in books and online that have philosophically and theologically answer probably and arguably the most difficult theological ...

One Reason Why Posting "Religious Stuff" Online is Important

I like to share "stuff" about my Christian faith in social media particularly on Facebook once in a while by posting articles, memes, quotes and the like, mainly to educate or spread awareness especially to anti-Catholic, atheist, agnostic and polemical individuals (special thanks to them, they were one of the primary reasons behind why I started learning more and appreciated more my Catholic faith and tradition).

(If it weren't for these reasons, I would have long readily departed with and deactivated my Facebook account.) However, I'm pretty sure some friends on Facebook do not share the same sentiment, passion or interest I do and probably find my religious musings quite annoying or overbearing by now. I might be wrong but it's just a sense. So I wish to share one point why I am sharing "religious stuff" fairly "religiously", why...

About the Book: Making Sense Out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft

It's been in my shelves collecting dust for awhile. Just started reading it recently. When I initially picked it up from our church's rummage sale few years ago, I thought it's one of those same old, common self-improvement books how to comfort yourself or others who are suffering, but I was quite surprised. A mix bag of philosophy, theology, dialogue, etc. that reminds and widens one's perspective of the purpose and meaning of suffering in Peter Kree ft's (author of Jesus Shock) usual straight-forward, no non-sense style of writing & wisdom. Some quotes from the book: “Atheism robs death of meaning. And if death has no meaning, how can life ultimately have meaning? For death is the end of life here” “Haven’t you forgotten the first and most important lesson in all of philosophy, the lesson taught to all of us by Socrates, the father of philosophy? That you are wise only when you are humble, that the very first bit of wisdom and t...
