    God in his goodness and wisdom reveals himself. With deeds and words, he reveals himself and his plan of loving goodness which he decreed from all eternity in Christ. According to this plan, all people by the grace of the Holy Spirit are to share in the divine life as adopted ‘sons’ in the only begotten Son of God.

    God gave us brains that are strong and inquisitive enough to figure these things out. As for teaching them about disease, read your Old Testament laws. God taught them how to recognize various diseases and conditions, and how to tell if they were contagious or not, and how to isolate sick patients. He taught them how to properly cook their food - cook it until there is no more blood (today we call it "juices running clear"). All this back in the day when the enlightened Egyptians were using mud and dung and leaves in *their* medical practices. How else did Israel get this information, considering it was written down after 400 plus years of slavery in Egypt? It was from God. Besides, did you ever think that maybe God planted the ideas for some of these discoveries in people's minds? Maybe they didn't even realize that's where it came from. And even if some inventor *did* think God gave him his idea, maybe he didn't write it down 'cause he thought everyone would think he was nuts. Who knows. We weren't there for every single invention and discovery. Who's to say how it happened? God revealed the truth about Himself to us, He showed us how to have our sins forgiven. That is more important than anything.

    To me it seems that God chooses the right moment to reveal the right things that give that person just enough graces to deal with a problem at hand. When we are in a very depressed mood and start thinking about the future, thinking we will be neglected for the rest of our lives, this kind of speculation tends to exagerate things out of proportion that leads to more despair and more lack of trust. But if we were to stay focused on the current situation, what it is that God wants us to do right now in our lives at this moment, and know that God reveals himself to a soul just as much as is most benefiting for that soul. And we can say to ourselves, ¨ok, right now my strength is being tested, but there will be a time when God will personaly speak to me...and I have to be strong untill that time comes so that when it does come, I will not regret not having served him in hard times.¨ And to be sure that in every situation God gives enough graces to keep going. Like Mother Teresa was also in despair becasue God aparently hid himself from her. But at the same time it brough her relief to hear from her confessor that it must be very hard for God to keep Himself hidden. But it was the best for her not to know everything. If we were sure of everything all the time, and perfectly confident and unwavering in every situation, would we be any use to Jesus? Maybe, but some of the saints I read about were very wavering people.

    God also revealed to me personally something important. To take a look at my life, and see what are the things that have made me truly happy, confident, peaceful, and calm. Then to take a look at what it was that really made me anctious, franctic, depressed, and lonely (and these thigs I immagine are an inner struggle for everybody). those things that left me a lasting calm were the times wen I knew I was doing God´s work and those that really upset me were times when I rejected what God would have wanted me to do. That is just how we were created. So this way, by having exposure to both sadnes and joy, I am slowly able to distinguish between the two, like children who are learning to distinguish between cold and hot, over time learn to avoid what burns them. God might hide Himself from us sometimes so we can appreciate what we were missing out of. Like distinguishing between cold and hot.

    Thanks for the question!

    The purpose of the incarnation was to restore man to the communion with God that had been lost in the Fall.

    After Christ’s ascension into heaven, he left man with an institution to nourish this radically new relationship: the Church.

    God’s revelation comes to man in His "deeds and words", in written and unwritten forms.

    The Scriptures are to be understood so that the Lord might be revealed to man, and man, due to this revelation, in return might fulfill his reason for existence:

    to know, love, and serve God in this life and be happy with Him forever in the next.

    God revealed the mystery that man should have access to the Father, through Christ, the Word made flesh, in the Holy Spirit, and become sharers in the divine nature.

    Why did God say "very good" in all He has made? How does this become a challenge to you?

    When one becomes preoccupied with acquiring the immediate needs of this life, he can become oblivious to the reality of God .

    When a person yields himself totally to the Lord in faith and gives up trying to control or manipulate his destiny, he is said to obtain the salvation of his soul .

    The interior man means man considered in his most deep personal interiority, where the regenerating Spirit moves him, where Christ dwells through faith and where is born the love that comes from Christ. ... It is a question of that secret and intimate part of man, the part that is spirit, open to God.

    It is in his spirit that man is most specifically "in the image and likeness of God"......

    the “breath of God” in him.

    This is indeed a rare question!

    ~~~~~~~~~

    God is "The Pure One". There is none comparable to God. God is the "Complete One". There can be only "One".

    God reveals to man, his qualities and his attributes.

    It is the wisdom that God has placed within man, that is necessary to discern these qualities and attributes.

    When these qualities and attributes are understood and imbibed into the inner heart of man, man can then be called a good child.

    God's Prophets beginning with Adam have revealed these to mankind.

    Over time God has revealed his true nature to mankind.

    God shares all of his qualities with mankind except one, and that one is being "The Creator". This quality belongs to "God Alone".

    It is time for human beings to become "true human beings", and practice the qualities that God has unselfishly placed within man.

    God has revealed himself to mankind, and it is up to mankind to act accordingly.

    May we all develop the wisdom to see God's, Truth and Light.

    "Peace be always with you"

    The simplest answer:

    Through Scripture and His Church, He reveals everything that we need to know regarding our salvation. However He does not reveal to us everything that we want to know!

    Blessings,
