June 10, 2024 - What if heaven is not the final destination we have made it out to be? What if we have been investing our hope in the wrong place and living our lives in the wrong direction? What if the ultimate destination for life is right under our feet? By James Amadon| The Ecological Disciple
God’s Purpose for Evil is the Revealing of His Great Glory Where the Free Will defense frames God as dependent on the free will choices of man, the Greater-Good and Greater-Glory theodicies present him as sovereignly decreeing evil for the express purpose of accomplishing a specific good. As Welty explains, the Greater-Good theodicy reveals, “That […] The post Answering the Problem of Evil – Part 3, All For the Glory of God appeared first on Voice of Reason.| Voice of Reason

J. L. Mackie alleges, “There seems to be some […] The post Answering the Problem of Evil – Part 1, The Accusation appeared first on Voice of Reason.| Voice of Reason
By Arthur A. Just On the Mount of Transfiguration, heaven and earth came together in the glorified body of Jesus. Peter, James and John, three of Jesus’ disciples, came up the mountain with Him for this encounter with Moses and Elijah, two heavenly beings. In this communion between heavenly and earthly bodies around the dazzling white body of Jesus, we see a picture of what happens in the Divine Service around the bodily presence of Jesus in the liturgy of the Word and the Lord’s Supper. ...| The Lutheran Witness

In what at least one person has referred to as, quote, “the best movie scene I’ve ever watched,” in this part of Avengers: Endgame, we see the Avengers assembling for their final battle.

In this scene from The Good Place, the gang arrives at the Good Place and finds that it’s even better than they imagined it would be. Flying puppies, the energy you had when you were twelve, and the joy of meeting people you’ve always wanted to meet—I mean, who doesn’t want to end up in a place like that? But what’s the Good Place actually like? Is it like this? Or is it different somehow? The post The (Actual) Good Place appeared first on Conciliar Post.| Conciliar Post
At one point in The Good Place, Eleanor and the gang find themselves in the Medium Place. Now if we think of the Bad Place as more-or-less hell and the Good Place as more-or-less heaven, then the Medium Place is whatever lies in between.

All the evil which eats up our bodies—our diseases, discomforts, lusts, and addictions—will be trampled upon not by abandoning the body, but by glorifying it. (essay by Bro. Thomas Nee)| The Imaginative Conservative
