Questions of Faith - 2021-08-13

<p>Questions of Faith - 2021-08-13</p> <p>This week's Sr Gemma Simmonds and Fr Luke Goymour, tackles the following questions that we've received recently: 1) Where did people go after they died before Jesus sacrificed himself? 2) Can you negotiate with God, because Moses seems to be doing it a lot in our recent Mass readings? &nbsp;3) God in the Old Testament sounds different depending on which prophet is speaking. How can we explain this? If it is God speaking through the prophet, surely he’ll be recognisable as the same person? 4) Jesus was meek and humble but also threw over the money-changer’s tables in the Temple. How can I know when my anger is justified? 5) Do you think just going to Sunday Mass gives me enough spiritual guidance in my life? What else can I do to find some direction? I want to pray more but sometimes I feel that I’m not getting very far with it. 6) How can we make an important decision in our life and be sure that it is God’s will? 7) How is it that God always existed? My mind can’t fathom it at all. And what was He doing before he made the world? 8) How can I forgive my spouse for things that hurt me a lot?</p>
