Church & Faith at Pulpit Rock...: all God's laws are for our own benefit

all God's laws are for our own benefit

All God's primary concerns are about us individually alone. Jesus asked what credit can you receive if you love those easy to love? Credit comes from loving the least easy to love. Why should we love those hardest to love? It is, what seems to be the purpose of all God's commandments, for our own benefit. We are not doing anyone else any great favor are we? After all we are not God.

Milky Way Explanation

Gazing out from within the Milky Way, our own galaxy's true structure is difficult to discern. But an ambitious survey effort with the Spitzer Space Telescope now offers convincing evidence that we live in a large galaxy distinguished by two main spiral arms (the Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus arms) emerging from the ends of a large central bar. In fact, from a vantage point that viewed our galaxy face-on, astronomers in distant galaxies would likely see the Milky Way as a two-armed barred spiral similar to this artist's illustration. Previous investigations have identified a smaller central barred structure and four spiral arms. Astronomers still place the Sun about a third of the way in from the Milky Way's outer edge, in a minor arm called the Orion Spur.
