Helper

Hello again Carlos..

Thanks Brother, also thank you very much for calling me for the first time 'Brother'..

I really appreciate that.

In my history recognition the Middle Ages was the hell human kind ever faced. In the Middle Ages the rich, high and noble got rich, richer, richest and the poor got poor, poorest. The chasm between very few noble people, including monks in Church and peasants etc. became so deep that no one couldn't restore.

It lasted 7 or 8 hundred years till Enlightenment when people started to awake the right of individuals.

In my understanding Contemporary world is much better than the Middle Ages in many aspects, not only as to fundamental human rights but in technological development, too.

War is inevitable in a society where there's a deep chasm in classes. War is a tragedy, but often a necessary evil.

I think current world became much safer after experiencing two world wars.

I'd like to just point out that the view 'the breakout of world war I is the beginning of the end of the system of things' is a unique interpretation of Revelations.

I am now reading many materials written by early Christian apologists.

While reading some, I encountered the Greek term 'paraclete' which appears in Greek Scriptures in John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:07.

In New world translation it is translated as 'helper'. In other versions, the Comforter, the Counselor, etc.

Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Only one God Jehovah, which is almighty. But there are many spiritual beings as well as Almighty God.

Michael, Gabriel are angels, which are super natural beings.

Jesus became King in Kingdom of Heaven right now. He became super natural being after resurrection.

I mean there are some divine figures in Christianity, is it in line with monotheistic view?
