I would like to believe that most acts of love are performed outside of any hope for either reward or punishment. The Good Book says "let not the right hand know what the left is doing"; I interpret that a meaning to stay focused on the object of one's love...as opposed to any karmic dynamics...
The Relativity of Time guarantees the argument for predestination. If every thing that can happen, already has...then any action by an individual who exists in linear time...would be known and or 'predestined' from the pov of the "higher power". The Higher Power - for argument's sake - being a...
Amen! It would be an atrocity to censure critiques such as this one. In my nation (US), political correctness has almost destroyed the credibility of the public dialouge and the ability for the spoken word (Truth) to have any chance at averting the onminous threats that arise.

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that shall try your faith". We all should check the 'oil in our lamps' and prepare ourselves (psychologically) for such an eventuality...whether we choose to turn our cheeks, or fight against what obviously is evil purportrated by the...
Whether or not one is a 'good' person, seems to be a matter of what other people judge or think re one's 'goodness'. Lucifer was the ultimate 'good person', and I think that is what got him booted. The real measure of one's religion is whether or not one is a happy and loving individual. To...
