Church has no doctrine that posit the existence<br />of a personal entity called a soul – N.T. The hope of the christian is in the<br />Resurrection - not in the concept of soul – O.T. As animals die<br />so dose man die there is no device in the grave – the fear of death <br />arises from attachment and giving up possessions both body, family and<br />all that goodie stuff -it was all here when you got here and its all going <br />to be here when you exit - Well if dead in the grave you just gotta sit tight<br />to Jesus comes back and if he dose not you will not know it anyway -<br />The problem is that what is called god is only a name for the mystery of all<br />that exist – I do not think what is called god is Catholic - Buddhist -Baptist - <br />or any other name that can be named -<br /><br />Blessings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />bob knabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182610684200347959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-65513257142893113842013-08-04T05:02:01.372-05:002013-08-04T05:02:01.372-05:00Often I inwardly sigh on realising that the Liturg...Often I inwardly sigh on realising that the Liturgy of the Hours has chosen part of a Vatican II document for the Office of Readings - but this one speaks to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-11835108382554317352013-08-04T03:30:26.331-05:002013-08-04T03:30:26.331-05:00Thanks, Anonymous.

I've found that what is mumbo jumbo in one setting (time and place) can become clear in another, and it's not always consistent but seems to have a dynamic (evolving) nature.
