Fr. George W Rutler on The World Over

I wanted to share this video of Raymond Arroyo interviewing Fr. George Rutler on the EWTN program, The World Over. The text on the YouTube reads, “FR. GEORGE RUTLER, priest of the Archdiocese of New York, long time EWTN host and author of the new book, Grace and Truth: 20 Steps to Embracing Virtue and Saving Civilization.” The title on the video is World Over – 2019-03-28 – Fr. George Rutler with Raymond Arroyo, Published on Mar 29, 2019.

Anyhow, I have always enjoyed watching or listening to Fr. Rutler. I am aware that he has written several books, although I have never read any of them. I will probably pick one up sooner or later. I have sometimes gone to mass to listen to him deliver a homily in person when visiting NYC. I probably don’t agree with his theological views all the time, not that he is wrong. It could well be that I am wrong, but I suppose it would be difficult to prove this anyway. I have always thought that Fr. Rutler is an intelligent and eloquent speaker. Well, I don’t want to go into too many details. Hope you enjoy watching the video. Leave any comments below. Blessings!

The Nephilim were Probably Smarter than Us

Since we believe we are the most advanced civilization that has lived on the planet, it makes it difficult to perhaps understand many mysteries that were most likely built by others who were also advanced, but evolved very different than ourselves technologically. For instance, it is possible that the Pyramids along with many obelisks all over the planet were part of a wirelss (Tesla style) power grid used on the entire planet...remember that all had conductive metal caps on top. Antediluvian Nephilim were probably much smarter than us, I wouldn't doubt.

Masada Article from Biblical Archaeology

"In the late morning hours of December 29, 1924, a British pilot took off from Amman, Jordan. Turning the nose of his Bristol fighter southwest toward the Dead Sea, he soon reached the mountain-plateau site of Masada, where King Herod had built an elaborate palace-fortress. At precisely 11:15 A.M., the pilot began conducting a series of aerial photography sorties. Taken at the altitude of 4,500 feet, the images were immortalized on glass negatives, which were deposited several years later in the library of the Institute of Archaeology of University College London (https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org)."

If the foregoing excerpt captured your attention, it is from an article titled: Masada Shall Never Fail (to Surprise) Again by Guy Stiebel and Boaz Gross published in Biblical Archaeology Magazine on September 01, 2018. Read the full article at the link below.

Ancient Road Re-opened

“After six years of excavations, Israel has officially opened the ancient Pilgrim’s road, a 2,000-year-old stepped stone path that connected the Pool of Siloam, where Jesus is said to have cured the blind man, to the ancient Jewish Temple, where Jesus would have prayed (www.biblicalarchaeology.org).”

A Brief Meditation

Sometimes a front can be mistaken for resilience. Sometimes silence is better than words, and vice versa. Sometimes the eyes we need to open are not physical, and vice versa. Appearances can deceive. Sometimes what we hear isn't necessarily a truth, although it is a sound, and our minds don't know the difference. Do we have eyes to see and ears to hear? Most importantly, do we have hearts to feel? Ultimately, the invisible is often spiritual.

Ravi Zacharias on the Question is Christianity the Exclusive Way to Truth?

Today on Facebook I found a post made by an old friend. Basically, in the post he shared a video that involved Ravi Zacharias during a Q & A. A person in the audience asked Zacharias the question: what brings us to believe or entitles us to believe that Christianity is the exclusive way to truth? Zacharias initially establishes the use of a foundation grid which includes origin, meaning, morality, and destiny to determine or reach his answer. In other words, all four of the foregoing should be met in establishing truth according to Zacharias. I am not going to say anything with relevance to my opinion. I am simply sharing the video to let you decide on whether you think his response is correct.
