聲色犬馬會導人遠離天主,這是無庸置疑的。那麼,身為教友,有沒有某些職業限制?比如能否在賭場,賽馬會,售賣香烟店等地方工作?
若有可能,教友自該在職業上找真正造福別人的工作。而若有能力,學識及機會,自當遠避會使人跌倒的工作。

Read More →Christianity, building on Judaism, firmly believes that there is only one God, incorporeal, invisible, who is the maker of all things visible and invisible. He is the supreme being. That anything can be and exist is because it is given a share in His being. God is not a force, an energy. He is not a thing, but is the fullness of personhood. He is the fullness of perfect intimate communal relationship. He is love itself.
