Distance Learning #3


1. Ludwig does not understand the importance of the sacraments. He believes that the sacraments shun those who don’t fit into each category. He says that he thought God's love is universal.

2. The church does not propose sacraments to deny God's universal love and will to save. It also does not hold the unbaptized people denied salvation either.

3. The redemption of Christ and the possibility of salvation for each person are maintained by the church against various Christian sects who assert that Christ has only redeemed a few or that God actively desires the damnation of certain people.

4. God gives everybody salvation. It is a relationship between God and the human. It is up to the persons will if he will enter that relationship or not.

5. The Christian doctrine that is the foundation of all the sacraments is the doctrine of "Spirituality".

6. Spirituality often speaks as though God is a sort of extended ether in the cosmos and that he would never sully himself with the crudeness of matter.

7. Spiritual snobbery is the announcement that God likes matter a lot.

8. Jesus died on the cross to save our sins. It was a very gruesome experience. However, after he did this, he died. Then he returned to pure spirituality.

9. A sacrament is more than just a symbol. It is also a sign. With both of these things, the signs and the symbols are also sacred.

10. He is saying the difference between something visible and sacred to something invisible and sacred, is like saying something sacred to a regular thing.

11. It makes God, God. The fact that he can’t be away from us, he can’t sit up in Heaven so far away from us. He needs to be omnipresent and around us at all times.

Distance Learning 2

What is the Divine Sense of humor. It is a really sacred thing dealing with God. It works through humans, with the image of God. He gives an example that is directly through Jesus. Jesus went to the temple to see what had been going on. Many people were buying and trading in God's house. Jesus went out to destroy many of the tables and selling places that people used to buy and sell in the temple in God's house. After that he tells them to destroy the temple. Then he said that he would rebuild the temple in three days. Jesus was talking with the Divine Sense of Humor in his speech. He was also talking through God. So what is it, it is the acknowledge between man and God. God working through the man, to get out what the message is, and to relay the message to all who are listening.
