Text Box: be no possibility of business transactions or personal relations between Moslems and non-Moslems. But there are such business and personal relationships. Why is this the reality? Every human is made in God’s Image and Likeness. Thus, every human, by human nature, interprets everything in a comparison with the Goodness with which God has endowed each person. That which is contrary to this Spark of the Holy Spirit innate in every human, is rejected and dismissed by every human, as not being viable, unless the individual has suppressed the endowed Goodness or has had it suppressed through malfunction of or injury to the mental processes. But Note: A female, senior U.S. official was recently interviewed by the Arab cable TV company. When they greeted each other and shook hands, the cable TV interviewer used his left hand - which is an intentional insult. The left hand is used for removing freshly expelled feces from one’s body. Therefore, a caveat: perhaps many or most Moslems who do not openly and overtly attempt to kill us are simply biding their time; and a few of the others who do not try to kill us are “fallen away Moslems” or simply lazy. But their holy book is clear, they are supposed to kill (us) Christians. + + +

Text Box: THE SACRIFICE WAS ACCEPTED BECAUSE OF THE CHARITY (Divine Love) WHICH INSPIRED IT Of equal importance that we comprehend the reality that we must accept, work with, and think and act in accordance with the redemption and salvation made available to us by the teachings, passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ is that Jesus makes redemption and salvation available to us because His sacrifice is pleasing to God, but that God accepts the sacrifice only by virtue of the Charity which inspires it. (Ask yourself, the Charity which inspires it, is it the Charity of His Son, of Himself, of the Blessed Trinity . . . ?) Jesus loves the Father so much that He became our sacrifice. He also loves us so much that He became our sacrifice. He also loves the Holy Ghost so much He became our sacrifice. Sin is a simmering and boiling caldron of corrosive, disuniting, decompositive, destruction effecting everything not armored with God. It corrodes and destroys our bonds, union with, and access to God, setting each creature against each and all other creatures, entities, and God; person against person; angel against angel, angels, man, mankind, rocks, trees, solids, liquids, gases, energies, and God; human against human, mankind, rocks, trees, solids, liquids, gases, energies, angel, angels, and God; and even the rocks and trees one against the other and all else. It was not so before sin. Jesus recapitulates humankind within Himself redeeming and saving humanity, each individual thereby having the opportunity to ratify the

Text Box: redemption and salvation by his and her personal acceptance; the main vehicle of this acceptance being thinking and acting - living - in accordance with the Virtue of Faith - with Christ’s teachings. Sin is resilient and through its practitioners sin attempts to corrode the teachings of and the very reality of Christ. It so does in a multitude of avenues including but not limited to attacks of the historical reality of Christ, the accuracy of the New Testament, and the accuracy of the Old Testament. These attacks are constant, but especially are focused and increase during the weeks preceding and surrounding Christmas and especially Pascha (Easter). One of their main outlets currently is programs in the documentary format on public television - programs which purport to explore the archaeological and geological accuracy of selected portions of the Bible using purported scientific means. Very often corroborating historical documents of the period in question are totally ignored and often stated to not exist. The purpose is to corrode belief in Jesus Christ God and thereby promote and continue the corrosion, disunion, decomposition, and destruction which is the staple and the fruit of sin, of evil. It is virtually impossible for those who have even a slight measure of a sense of moral values to comprehend a totality of commitment to evil, and it is therefore difficult for most people to accept there are innumerable individuals who have made a total commitment to evil, to total evil. One of the reasons for this difficulty is the inability to assess any even potential benefit. What benefit could such a commitment offer? Those who have difficulty comprehending or accepting the reality that there are those who make such a commitment, and that such
