Basil The Great?

We have so many difficult hurdles to jump when it comes to understanding healing and the suffering that goes on in our world. Even some of the most intelligent will fall from their beliefs (as Bart Ehrman) into the abyss of agnosticism or skepticism. 

One of the people that contributed to our understanding of sin, sickness, and suffering was Basil the Great!

It would be one thing if Basil had just been one of your run of the mill theologians; however, he was a well known Bishop (330-380), and an individual who was later afforded the status of "Doctor" of the Catholic church which is pretty significant, even if you're not Catholic. And, his ideas about sickness were as follows:

>Sent by God to discipline, develop character
>Sent by God as punishment for sin
>Sent by God to those he knows strong enough to bear it and could be models for the weak ones.
>An affliction by Satan
>Simply a result of poor nutrition (probably because of eating pork)
  
We can all look at the same situation and come up with a different analysis: conclusion. I am particularly reminded of that concept when Joan Borysenko opened one of her more recent books with this paragraph.

"A new world is emerging at warp speed, and some of us will do better than others at adjusting to it.  One laid-off programmer goes home and writes code that turns his iphone into a xylophone. In ten months he is a millionaire, catapulted into programmer heaven by megasales on Apple's innovative App Store. A second laid-off programmer stresses out and spends his days worried, bored, and depressed."

Was Basil great? Yes, but then we ALL are! How could we not be? We all come from the same Source, the same Creator, same God! But, since we all have FREE WILL, we can makes CHOICES that lead us not in the same direction.

Does God create or send sickness or are our maladies a result of our own actions? Regardless, we're still great- awakened to it believing it, or not!

In Beijing, the people's circus is underway
Inside the Great Hall, the People's Congress may be a legislative yawn-fest, but outside, paparazzi chase stars, the well-off compare couture and shiny luxury cars line the lots. Inside the Great Hall of the People, it's all canned speeches and stilted words of praise for the Chinese Communist Party. Yes, it's the annual National People's Congress. Yawn.

Thanks for visiting!
