When we were a young family, my husband Dietrich was working on his Ph.D. in theology and philosophy. One of our discussion topics was how to distinguish good and evil! He said that, for his children, it is so important for them (as for all of us) to understand the difference.
In fact, what makes us miserable and unhappy is the misuse of love. If we look around we see it everywhere.
In the Bible we read that God created us in His image, man and woman He created us. We also read that there was temptation, that Eve the first woman was tempted by the serpent Lucifer, then tempted Adam, and the Fall happened! And as a theologian this was not a bedtime story, but a real drama which happened a long, long time ago, but with so many consequences that we see today!
There is a malaise d’amour! Mal d’amour makes a person not want to live anymore, because he or she cannot be loved or love as God intended! God gave us freedom but with freedom comes responsibility. The quest of all philosophies and all theologies is to find happiness.
I quickly learned when I was a young bride that I had to overcome things. I had to grow in wisdom and understanding and not succumb to temptations or tricks from the devil, and not develop a spiritual cancer.
We are living in the “End Times” and Jesus is coming back, or has come back. As Elon Musk is saying, the rapture is coming or is here. Humanity is at a crossroads between good and evil. Let’s choose carefully the Son of Man descending from above, the Only Begotten Son marrying the Only Begotten Daughter, and establishing firmly the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven.
In doing so, all spiritual cancers, as well as conflicts and wars and tears, will be eradicated. and humankind, by taking responsibility, will establish the world that everyone is looking for!
