Today's reading in church was about the Transfiguration when Jesus was on the mountain with Peter, John and James, and while He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Then they heard God saying: 'This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!' <br /><br />Can you imagine if that happened today? Would people believe then?<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-89281540813363948122016-02-21T14:01:55.821-08:002016-02-21T14:01:55.821-08:00Hi Victor!

Makes you wonder what we'll ever accept, doesn't it?<br />I just have to decide that however God comes to me, I need to listen. And He will speak to me in the words and tone He knows I'll recognize. I just don't have any excuse not to hear Him.<br />Beautiful, faithful post Victor.<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-63649793817186066262016-02-21T13:34:18.139-08:002016-02-21T13:34:18.139-08:00Thay are not silly questions, Michael.

But sensible ones.<br /><br />If God had appeared in human form (Jesus) at a later time, say when video cameras were invented, as you say, the chances are that He would have been laughed at. People would have thought He is a charlatan or magician of some sort. Or at best, a mad man who claims He is the Son of God. Today's world, Michael, is just not willing to believe.<br /><br />If Christ appeared in modern times (today) as a super Being, (like Superman), able to fly, be omnipotent, all knowing and so on; certainly people would believe in Him. Even in modern times. But that would be belief through fear, awe, and confusion. Hardly the act of a loving God.<br /><br />So He appeared as Jesus at a time when people would receive Him through Faith alone. Like the Disciples and His followers did.<br /><br />God bless.

For example, why didn't he choose to continue to walk the Earth after the Resurrection so that all generations could interact with Him in a more "tangible" way? Why didn't he choose to be born to us during a time when video cameras were invented so people in future generations could see everything He did? And so on and so forth. Yes, these are my silly human thoughts, and I know there is so much I do not understand. Nor should I. But I still can't help but wonder. And during those times, I am so thankful for the gift of Faith so that they are easier to accept.
