My God Sent Angel Have you ever met someone and felt like you have been struck by Cupids arrow? Is this love you might ask yourself, or is it just lustful tendencies hiding behind romance? My relationships with woman have always been met with challenges. I lacked the tools necessary to keep a relationship afloat, and my views on woman were one that only satisfied my libido. That was until I came across this amazing woman named Caren. This woman carried a message that enlightened me to examine my views on woman and the relationships I have with them. I met Caren back in September of 2010 at a local A.A. meeting that was being held in a church attic. I was very shy and nervous about being there. I was all of 30 days sober and the Caren taught me that along with countless other life’s lessons. She had 24 years of deep emotional sobriety and I was attracted to that. I’ve never once looked at a woman for their intellectual or emotional stimulation. It was all based on physical stimulation. I objectified woman for sexual gratification. She would always question the motives of our relationship. She taught me that lustful tendencies can hide themselves in a deep corner masked by romance. That was so true for me because I would fall in love with such ease but the relationship would never last and I would blame others for it. But this time it going to be different I thought to myself. I truly believed that Caren had something special that I could benefit from. And for the next two years I did. Caren was so different than anyone I have ever been in a relationship with. She was so intense and deep with her emotions. She wouldn’t accept feelings and emotions at surface level. These feelings and emotions needed to be explored further into depth to uncover the meaning behind them. “Why” was a common word that she spoke. Sometimes that would become quite problematic in our relationship because I wasn’t used to digging deep into my inner self and trying to figure me out. I would simply tell her “Caren I refuse to drink your kool aid today.” She was such a good sport about it. She would simply answer with a chuckle and a smile. Caren also
revelation in the Islamic context Muslims believe that God has spoken to His creation from the beginning of time. Not only is He believed to have communicated to the Prophets Moses and Muhammad, but also to prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Zechariah, and Jesus. God is also said to speak to the angels and even Iblis (Satan). The Qur'an describes three forms of communication of God with human beings: 'It is not granted to any mortal that God should speak to him except through revelation or from behind…
Saint Cecilia (also known as Cecily and Cicilia) was a distinguished, young Roman patrician who died around 117 A.D. Deeply loving God since early childhood, she wore sackcloth, fasted regularly, and made a vow to God that she would remain ever virgin as his bride. She even invoked angels and virgin saints to guard her virginity. However, her parents insisted that she have a husband; they wed her to Valerian of Trastevere. In a story written about her life, called The Acts of Cecilia, it says:…
in One God who created the world and cares about the behavior and beliefs of human beings. The Prophet Muhammad knew Christians in his lifetime and respected them along with Jews as "People of the Book." Because of their monotheism and roots in the revealed Jewish Bible, the Prophet Mohammed and his successors extended conquered Christians (and Jews) more freedoms than conquered pagans. In Christianity, God is the eternal being that created and preserves the world. Christians believe God to be…
prophet is Muhammad and that 14 hundred years ago He received the revelation of God’s word. This was sent through the form of the Qur’an, the Holy Scripture of the Islamic Religion. The terms “Islam” and “Muslim” derive from the Arabic words, meaning “peace” and “submission” to the will of Allah. Allah is the Islamic God who is in fact, identical with Yahweh, from the Hebrew Bible as well as God the Father from Christianity. The Qur’an is spoken in 1st person from Allah, however Muslims also recognises…

Infinity means that God creates time and all who inhabits time out of infinity. The infinity image is there before the creation of the world. There is also three interlocking circles on the chart. They represent the three symbols of God; the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. The narrator…
Jesus Christ is clearly identified as the True Son of God in Scripture, but not initially. Before Christ arrived here on earth the nation of Israel and David, God’s chosen king, but after Christ’s domain on earth, a shift was evidently made. Doctrine declares that the second person of the True Godhead has been Jesus Christ, existential as the Son. There was no time when He was not the Son of God since there has always been a Father and Son relationship made known in the Godhead. Sonship is not just…
an angel. Her reaction to the man with wings is purely influenced by faith. She blindly assumes things based on what she has been taught her whole life: "He's an angel," she told them. "He must have been coming for the child, but the poor fellow is so…
Mary became pregnant by the spiritual seed of God, which in essence was the very word of God. This is difficult for many people to comprehend because God works within the spiritual realm of humanity. There are two Biblical bases for the deity of Jesus. The first is the Annunciation of Him being brought into existence as the Son of God. The second basis was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Annunciation and birth of Jesus was ordained by God. Jesus was prophesized in the Old Testament and…
