I grew up on Simms Bayou in Houston during the cold war and was taught to duck-and-cover in parochial school, saw bomb shelters sold in the maul but to me it was all just something to be curious about.
I was not good in school, just reading was a struggle. I did not see words because they were just symbols of ideas. I had a need to understand the why, the cause, purpose and effect. The world was a mysterious place full of wonders but the people in my life were more than fascinating. I was always asking question with a passion to know why things were the way they seemed to be. I entered the seminary at at St Joseph's College when I was 13. Catechisms, doctrines, and religious ideology seem to just create more and more questions. Every answer just created more questions. What is the truth? What is the truth about God? If the truth should set men free then the doctrine of Jesus should set the captive free. Every thing in life is a part of the great puzzle and mystery of life. The pieces fit best when you do not force them. What was the conflict with Rome and the early Christians?
Jesus said that we were to "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" which would include the "deliverance of the captives, and to set at liberty them that are bruised". |
How may we become free souls under God? |
What is His righteousness? |
