Humanity is so valued by God that He put special

group of non-believing volunteers is equally capable of these acts of love. Beyond the Spirit that is always in action – whenever, wherever, however and through whomever He wants (hence, even in those who do not [yet] believe), the specificity of Christian charity does not lie so much on the phenomenological level of the apparent gesture, as in the action itself, in the interior thrust that gives it impulse and in the criterion that guides it, that is, to the extent of the hope that it bears. This

I. SYNTHESIS At the mention of “Divine Revelation”, my thoughts on it before were very narrow and simple.

I had this expectation that the revelations would be mostly relating to the prophecies that we know from the bible, or what the church is constantly saying is the message of God. However, after getting to know the lesson more in detail and better, I realized that my perception

They have pondered such questions as whether or not hell is a real place, and if so whether it is divided into different sections or if it is one homogenous lake of fire.

demolish in one day. It takes a long time to change our Confucian culture into a Christian culture. If it is difficult to establish the system for the lay ministry in one day, it is even more difficult to change the Confucian culture. It is a problem that has to be resolved by time.

Now, among the Confucian
