The Latest Scientific Evidence of God - Fr Robert Spitzer at the Napa Institute Summer Conference

[@pj30555]

It happened 4 decades ago in a premier research institute in India. The presentation was about the breakthrough in nuclear medicine. The speaker differentiated x-ray from nuclear medicine stating that while the former gave the structural image the later gave a functional image. I was only a student among the audience of top scientists. During the QA session I asked if it can be used to detect what happens when a person dies. The audience and the speaker brushed aside my question with a laughter. I sank in shame. After 40 years, fully detached from science, Fr.Spitzer is making me happy. Thanks.

This genius of a man , this Jesuit priest is the one who actually turned my head to pay attention to on a couch 5-6 years ago as I was laying in my misery from Cancer treatments at my home. Not the treatments but the attempt at resting or just laying in despair and depression and anxiety and PTSD unable to hardly move an inch. Because of this priest I very slowly began dragging my feet back to a semblance of Catholicism. He is blind , brilliant, I love him and pray when I remember for him that he led me back.

[@bajone02]

Great testimonial , Mimi. God is Alive. God is Love. Jesus was sent to Earth as a baby to show the rest of us humans, the beloved creature of God's creation, how to behave, live in service to others and in a living and loving relationship with God. That Jesus is considered the Son of God the Father with the Love between the Father and the Son being the manifestation of the Holy Spirit , or the Paraclete as Jesus declared would be sent to carry mankind forward after Jesus would no longer be with His 12 apostles, we have the three persons of the Holy Trinity. The encouragement, love and hope you felt listening to Fr. Spritzer was the Comforter. That is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, the love of God. You were open to it so you were graced with it. People make it so hard to believe because we are all affected by satan's blight to mankind. Those baptized are given the graces to fight against the evil but often fail. Just get back up again. That is all you need to do. Just like Mimi was open to. Seek forgiveness and repentance for not following the best path you knew to follow, and start to experience the peace and contentment that Mimi finally did. It is never too late to turn to the One God who created the universe. Repent and believe in the Lamb of God who died to take away the sins of the world, Jesus Christ. He existed in history. He was born, walked with His chosen 12, allowed himself to be crucified, died was laid in a tomb on a Friday and rose from the grave on Easter Sunday morning. He was the Jewish born Messiah for All of Mankind. That's ALL God asks so little of us. All the unbelief, questioning, confusion, doubting is of the evil one. Bottom line: quit running away and instead run toward the God who made you and wants nothing more than your recognition that you belong to someone who loves you more than you can imagine. If you turn toward God and pray for guidance, watch out. Because you will get a good response!! One last thing to consider that can change how you think of everything: if it is good, it is of God because God is all good. God does Not Cause bad to happen. But He does allow it so He can allow some good to come out of it. ex: illness and dis-ease is not from God. It is a result of the first man's fall from grace. From the result of evil . But God allows illness for a greater good to come from it. Perhaps for Mimi that greater good was the revelation finally understood due to 10:54 Fr. Spitzer's uncanny brains, whit and unwavering faith and conviction that bubbles over because such joy cannot be contained. Fr. Spritzer is a rare breed that sees his challenges even as a gift from God. He has give.his life to serve Jesus Christ as fully as possible. He is smart, insightful, effective in his explanations and research and writings. I imagine he will have a very comfortable reward in heaven one day. He is one of those pretty certain to hear "Welcome my good and faithful servant!" Let's just hope it is not for a long time to come. We need Shepards like Fr. Spritzer here below.

We can safely deduct that if there was any proof that God does not exist it would have been shoved up our throats in every school for decades! Around 16min 50sec you showed us a slide ''Peer-reviewed medical studies of a transcendent soul'' stating, ''that peer-reviewed studies show the high likelihood that we have a transcendent soul capable of surviving bodily death.'' A question: Who is the ''we'' (that has/possesses the soul) that the slide/research refers to? Am I the body that has a transcendent soul? Or, maybe, I am the eternal, transcendent soul? A particle of undying spirit in a temporary body? My material body is subject to death, that's obvious, but once the body is gone (buried, eaten by worms, cremated etc) who owns the soul? Maybe a different question: Who am I? Am I the body or am I the soul? Logic points to the latter, I think. We commonly say: my legs, my hands & my body. I cannot be my body having an eternal soul inside because during an NDE, when my soul gets out of my body and then I look at my body.... Who is doing the looking? My soul, my body... but who owns my soul and my body? Using logic I conclude that I AM the soul and I have a body. I, the soul, am looking at my body during an NDE, I think.

If So, to whom will Bathsheba be given? Note: Matthew 22/23-30: There will be no right answer. The question raised by the Sadducees was about the impossible situation of a widow having seven husbands, all brothers. If Abraham goes to heaven, Sarah will be his wife in heaven. just as Mary will be Joseph's wife. Matthew 22:23-33/ It has a different meaning.

The only certainly innocent party is the baby she gives birth to. The outcome? David goes on to be Israel's great king and the model for the coming messiah. Bathsheba goes on to be queen mother.

Angels are never referred to in any gender other than masculine. • In Matthew 22:30 Jesus says that there will be no marriage in heaven because we “will be like the angels in heaven.” This verse states that angels do not marry, but it stops short of commenting on their “gender.” Nothing in Jesus’ statement can be taken to imply that angels are masculine, feminine, or neuter.

[@njhoepner]

@@bitmasricco5699 Well, if one presumes such things as the existence of heaven, and presumes as well that Jesus is in fact god, then one has to go with what he says as ultimate authority, since nothing in the Hebrew bible answers the question. The Hebrew Bible and its marriage laws were written without belief in resurrection and afterlife, so the premise of laws is purely about family continuity and procreation in this world, for the purpose of maintaining family lines and therefore property claims. The ONLY pronouncement in scripture on the subject of marriage laws and resurrection, therefore, is that of Jesus. Under the above premises, that means in heaven marriage is irrelevant. Going further would be speculation, but my speculation would be that even those married for a lifetime on earth are not married in heaven, because it is pointless.

[@russellmiles2861]

@@eternallight88 that is a fascinating question. I guess wed have to start we the use of the term laws regarding natural philosophy is not the same as the term when referring to, say road traffic management. You assuming agency in something you observe. This would be like wondering why a golf ball landed on a particular turf of grass. We don't assume the golf ball was guided. And we don't assume mathematics is more than some phenomenon we observe. I would stress: as I said: we can't conduct an experiment. So who knows the Universe may have been created by a God. That presents a more interesting question as why would a God bother?

[@eternallight88]

​@@russellmiles2861 From Wikipedia: "Scientific laws are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena.". I'm sure you're familiar with the laws of physics - gravity for example. They are "constants" in nature and they describe certain limits of physical reality. I didn't assume agency, I simply asked if you had a better explanation for what created these laws? You said "We have mathematical constructs that explain a universes creation." and I'm arguing that you don't have a mathematical construct for the *first cause* We know that golf balls are guided by golf players and both road traffic management and golf ball striking are conscious, deliberate actions of human beings. Why do you think the laws of physics are perfectly expressed through the language of mathematics? Eugene Paul Wigner once said "The unreasonable efficiency of mathematics in science is a gift we neither understand nor deserve." This is a scientist making a mystical statement about how we are able to understand creation through rational thought. You can't conduct a physical experiment on the creation of the universe but you can conduct thought experiments and there are many hypotheses such as M-theory. When you find a plausible explanation, you can either take a leap of faith that there is some high power/intelligence behind everything (theist), suspend judgement, remain skeptical and live in ignorance (agnostic) or deny any/all supernatural intervention and rely on a materialist, anthropocentric explanation (atheist). As to why God would bother - are you aware that in the Bible it states that "man is created in the likeness and image of God"? I would argue that God bothered so that you and I could experience the gift of life.

[@russellmiles2861]

@@eternallight88 thank you for your considered reply. Although I couldn't help feel we are in agreement; ie, laws of physics are observations and as you state repeatable and verifiable.

It could also be that the current and/or newly considered evidence - as Father Spitzer laid out - when considered makes it more difficult to not believe in God for individuals open to considering evidence. In the past there were potential explanations other than God for the existence of the Universe, but these potential explanations are falling by the wayside. I would be curious to see what is considered a “scientist” in the polling. In past studies individuals in the hard sciences (chemistry, physics and medicine) had a higher level of believers than those in the soft sciences (psychology, sociology, etc.). One study I read found that 3% of psychologists believed in God, whereas more than 50% of physicians believed. I say all this because the percentage of people in the hard sciences may actually believe at a higher level.

David committed adultery with a married woman called Bathsheba, wife of Uriah. what's more, David murdered Uriah by proxy by ordering all of Uriah's comrades to abandon him in the midst of battle, so that he ended up getting killed by an opposing army. The Prophet Nathan was sent by God and warned King David. well, Torah verses clearly say that both URIAH and DAVID Blessed by GOD. Well, the question is, if Uriah, David and Bathsheba go to heaven. To whom will Bathsheba be given? This question is ready to test the wisdom of all of you: The Bible [ Torah]: God promised that God had already chosen all three humans for heaven: David, Uriah and Bathsheba. I’m Looking forward to an intelligent reply. Note: God said through Nathan the prophet that King David was rich. Uriah was poor and had nothing but Bathsheba, a little lamb. Therefore, God here assured that the couple was chosen through the parable. David's prayer sought forgiveness and Later King David has been forgiven too. no doubt all three will go to heaven. If So, to whom will Bathsheba be given? Note: Matthew 22/23-30: There will be no right answer. The question raised by the Sadducees was about the impossible situation of a widow having seven husbands, all brothers. If Abraham goes to heaven, Sarah will be his wife in heaven. just as Mary will be Joseph's wife. Matthew 22:23-33/ It has a different meaning. You and your spouse love each other, live together on earth, and are true believers in Christ. If they go to heaven, they don't need to remarry. They don't need to create new babies.
