- 0:27want to invite you to travel with me and dream together in a better world,
- 0:33a different world where men and women of good will can live in peace
- 0:38and freedom. The train of life is a magaxin of good news and hope.
- 0:48This is a radio time specially designed for people like you and like so
- 0:53many truth seekers, of the only truth that can make us truly free come
- 1:00Te, I invite you to travel with us on the safest train of all
- 1:07that will definitely take you to safe harbour. This is the train of life.
- 1:38Or ask good morning Spain, bon día, friends and friends, from
- 1:56this corner of this Iberian site, from Te Barcelona, to all the towns,
- 2:01of brothers, of cities of Spain, speaks Julio Pérez, this living
- 2:06parable. Thirty- two years later, untiringly, we are still on the
- 2:13train of life. Sign up with us and enjoy it too we go there,
- 3:15ladies and gentlemen, very welcome to this traveling train. It' s
- 3:20the train of life. It' s like life itself, it' s
- 3:27a living parable, a little that represents each and every one of us,
- 3:30in particular. This is life a journey, an unstoppable journey. On the
- 3:35other hand, sometimes it is a frustrated trip, in the worst case scenario,
- 3:43fatal trips, on other dangerous trips, but also trips that arrive to
- 3:49a good destination, to a good port, at a good end, to
- 3:53the end of the season of life and arrive well. And they' re
- 3:57good. You don' t always have to talk about life' s bad
- 4:00circumstances. But since we see so many things and hear so much about everything
- 4:08imaginable and unimaginable happens today, we only lack the artificial intelligence that does to
- 4:15us things that the magician pot is not already able to do. It can
- 4:20leave us fascinated truth, confuse lies with truth. That' s what could
- 4:28happen. But anyway, here we are on the train of life and today
- 4:32we have good friends, very good company. We have four interviews. Let
- 4:43me look. We are here at our Emissor Center in Barcelona, in Montjuich.
- 4:48There we have our centerview in a very privileged place and today we are
- 4:55working on works this weekend, because we are doing a new readaptation to improve
- 5:00coverage and technological mechanics. Let' s also call it that no and we
- 5:09are all day that we start Thursday morning and then we follow Friday on so
- 5:15many friendly stations on Saturday through the network of Dinami Radio stations and also on
- 5:20Sunday and also the radio stations television, Vida, radio Encuentro and so many
- 5:27other private stations in many cities, sister and friend stations that also reproduce the
- 5:35train of life in many Spanish cities. Anyway, think that we add more
- 5:41than a hundred cities that directly tune into the program Thursday, some Fridays,
- 5:48many others, many Saturdays, Sundays, many others and Mondays including throughout the
- 5:54Spanish Levante, including reaching Andalusia, as far as Granada, Almeria and very
- 6:00Malaga many parts. And there is the Train of Life, traveling through the
- 6:04children of the human soul and talking about many things. And this morning we
- 6:11have always reminded you that we are on the thirty- two anniversary of the
- 6:15Train of Life. You must have seen the program that gave us good news,
- 6:19our weekly Spanish television program every Sunday on Spanish TV' s two at
- 6:26ten- fourth in the morning. The last program that was broadcast was that
- 6:30of the Evangelical Hospital Evangelic in Barcelona, or a beautiful, wonderful, flagship
- 6:38of the evangelical social work in Spain. But in the past week we were
- 6:46there Onda Parradia, doing a report with our dear friend and brother, director
- 6:50Esteban Lozano, with all his team and our team also a magnificent report about
- 6:58Onda for radio and also about the train of life Magaxing, which was precursor
- 7:01of a new format on evangelical radio in Spain as regards chat interviews, curiosities,
- 7:11topics of social interest, good practices, etcetera, etcetera. Well,
- 7:17here we are and this morning we also have Alfonso wardrobe theologian and writer,
- 7:25good writer, Alfonso, and I see him now retired, jubilant, but
- 7:30he we count on many times look we have an interview with him about philosophy
- 7:34and Christianity. Philosophy and Christianity have something to do with each other. He
- 7:40has written about it, things that come intro to philosophy and philosophy and Christianity.
- 7:46Of the best books I have read about philosophy, I have read secular,
- 7:51some and Christians of this subject few very few. The best thing I
- 7:58' ve ever read is Alfonso Ropero' s philosophy and Christianity have something to
- 8:03do with it. I, when I began to incorporate late into the culture,
- 8:09began to devour everything to the atheists Paña, to a barsal three pool
- 8:16néxito, to the main works of nix Federico Ixche, thus to Bló Zaratrusta
- 8:22and all the others, the antichrist and an endless number of works and all
- 8:26that fell into my hands. No, obviously, I was talking about Erick
- 8:31Front the other day that well, he was the very interesting man, by
- 8:35the way, the art of love and the fear of freedom. Well,
- 8:39many things that from that time, in those years vibrated, were when democracy
- 8:45began to emerge in Spain. Well, I a little earlier joined the late
- 8:52culture, 20, late, 20 years old. Well, there my inducer
- 8:58was my good friend Guillen mail to a pro- man journalist who has three
- 9:03races and had just arrived. We were in Melilla doing military service. Alone
- 9:09and cute and clear, the talks were very rich. And he was the
- 9:13one who brought me into the world of communication and journalism, into the world
- 9:18of radio. I was introduced by my mentor, Jaime Philix, a man
- 9:24who was key to the topic of the spoken media, in this case of
- 9:28radio. But, I want to tell you and I began to read philosophy
- 9:33and everything I read, of everything that and some say good, but you
- 9:37have to be careful, because it can be toxic to your faith hear,
- 9:41I reaffirmed my faith more than ever I saw Jesus as the great hero of
- 9:46my life, as the savior of my soul, the redeemer, and besides,
- 9:50I was not afraid. I tasted good. I believe that in the
- 9:52help of the spiritist he taught me to filter and to see and to understand
- 10:00until I discovered the influence of philosophy in Christian theology. Understand Calvinism, in
- 10:05all, in fact, many of the greats of the Church, of Christian
- 10:11patristics. They were men with very high intellectual formation and philosophically even martyred justino
- 10:20and many. Or well, I no longer say Ausin of Hippo, who
- 10:24also had a great formation and hence philosophical concepts are poured into theology that some
- 10:31have not been so healthy, but many others do. So Alfonso Rupero tells
- 10:37us about philosophy and Christianity. If they have anything to do with each other,
- 10:41let' s talk to him. Don' t miss it then and
- 10:45then we continue to the next station with clinical psychologist Daniel Gaso. Daniel always
- 10:50has something very special. What happens to us when we lie. This is
- 10:54a theme that we have reproduced once again the lie. These days I was
- 11:00thinking about lying psychology I' m going to buy a book from a professor
- 11:03on this subject. In the new reversals of lies. But the psychology of
- 11:09lying and the truth is that lying is a universal sin that has been socialized
- 11:15in every order of life, in everything in politics, I no longer tell
- 11:20you no, but in social life, in advertising, in human relations,
- 11:22in the family, in teaching, in culture and as far as we are
- 11:28concerned, it refers to why it is instinct to lie and, in the
- 11:33worst cases, to lie compulsively, opathologically or destructively. Lying is a cancer
- 11:45that can kill us. But Daniel Gaso tells us what happens to us when
- 11:52we lie, when we lie regularly or often or with greater intensity, let
- 11:58us listen to the case on such an interesting subject. José de Segovia to
- 12:05another number, one, of journalist, of pro for the real ones,
- 12:11besides communicator or magnificent where there are them. He is a great theologian,
- 12:16in addition, a man of understanding, a true intellectual of anything that is
- 12:20put before him and we speak, of course, Protestant pastor, and we
- 12:28talk about what the new birth is. We' re not talking about reincarnations.
- 12:31Don' t get confused. Hey, when Jesus and Nicodemus meet,
- 12:35they don' t talk about reincarnation. That concept did not exist in the
- 12:39mind, in the social imaginary, at least in that sphere. But you
- 12:46can confuse the new birth you are born again spiritually. No, no,
- 12:50the non- birth. It is a metamorphosis, it is a transformation,
- 12:56a methaneia, change of mind and change of heart and attitude of life.
- 13:01It is an integral inner change is conversion. Some say well, first the
- 13:05birth comes, then the conversion comes, or the other way around it gets
- 13:09into a mess, there it is totally inappropriate, but very interesting. With
- 13:13our friend José de Segovia, I already tell you journalist, theologian, pastor
- 13:22and commentator where there are and do not believe, that we have something else.
- 13:26We have our friend. She' s a quintana, a guintana,
- 13:31she' s a protest pastor, she' s a very bold woman,
- 13:33she' s a real woman. She' s a fighter for as long
- 13:35as I' ve known her for many years. She is a philologist and
- 13:41pastor in the city of Madrid in practice and we talk to her. She
- 13:45is the president of the Seneca Falls association, which is the Christian feminist movement
- 13:52that was the forerunner of the feminist movement but they were feminists, paradoxically claiming,
- 13:58therefore, rights for women, equal rights to those of men at work.
- 14:05Already at the dawn of the late 19th century, the beginning of the
- 14:0920th and Seneca fals and also defended life, life, life in the mother
- 14:18' s womb. Today is quite the opposite. Feminist movements are pro-
- 14:24abortionist and good and more things, but what to be a woman. Today,
- 14:28in the 21st century, we talked to a woman who was very experienced
- 14:33in the subject that is Sun quintana. Don' t miss it. And
- 14:37well, nothing more, because and nothing less Alfonso wardrobe Daniel Gaso José de
- 14:41Segovia is a quintana. Four first swords of the subjects we have to enjoy.

- 20:23Or so, ladies and gentlemen, if we are this morning in direct
- 20:56line with Don Alfonso closet the N, as we have told you, he
- 21:00is a writer, lecturer, theologian and also editor of editorial Clie, but
- 21:08we are talking to him this morning about philosophy and Christianity. A man of
- 21:14understanding, versed in the question among many others, among many others, and
- 21:18well we have the pleasure of talking to him about philosophy and Christianity. They
- 21:22have something to do with each other or the worst cases, according to some,
- 21:27are antagonistic. Someone has said that religion does not work with reason,
- 21:32it works with feeling, with faith. That' s what Manuel García Morente
- 21:37says. There, in Buenos Aires, they call with that beautiful word that
- 21:41you have palpitos. When you work with feeling and with faith, it is
- 21:45not done with rational evidence. Therefore, in some way religion can replace philosophy,
- 21:49but then religion does not serve means anything, he tells us in his
- 21:55introduction to this book of philosophy and Christianity. I don' t make such
- 22:02a statement. Don Manuel García tells us, religion has a function and plays
- 22:04a role that is necessary in life. Well, come on, let'
- 22:11s see the subject of philosophy. Good morning. Dear friend, Don Alfonso,
- 22:18wardrobe Hello, Well read, thank you for being with us. Dear
- 22:22Alfonso, and philosophy and Christianity appear. Well this book, which was published
- 22:30some years ago, introduced to philosophy, one of them, a Christian perspective,
- 22:34and also the other philosophy and Christianity. Why these two books arose,
- 22:41this answer at that time and why it is still current, Alfonso, because
- 22:48they did arise, like everything that arises, from a personal restlessness, almost
- 22:52all our work, because it obeys our person, our circumstances and always to
- 22:59state the philosophy since I have memory, well, not memory, but yes
- 23:03of quite young and after arriving at the Faith, that for me it was
- 23:07an important act that changed my life, not in vain we call it a
- 23:11new birth and I believed, therefore, that the Faith has nothing to fear
- 23:15of reason. But the truth be told in church settings and above all and
- 23:18the pastors always warned me against the readings I was doing. So much as
- 23:26usual. I also like the Spanish philosophy of you that hasé, Julián,
- 23:29Marías and others, and I was a little annoyed that they believed that philosophy
- 23:34is a force, so to speak, high to the FE. In my
- 23:38case it wasn' t the other way around in philosophy. I was greatly
- 23:42helped at a time of crisis of faith by reading Soren Hetkergar, who was
- 23:48a great philosopher, as well as a great believer in his study of mortal
- 23:52illness, which for him is sin. That study, that analysis was made
- 23:57to him, because he saved me from a crisis. Then it was not
- 24:03only my experience that told me that something had been wrong and wrong I thought
- 24:07good and tolerated it. Then, in time, I didn' t get
- 24:11to tolerate it. At first. I understand that the shepherds have not passed.
- 24:15Sometimes they have gone through seminars or Bible schools where there is no subject
- 24:21dedicated to the history of thought or philosophy with which they could have a general
- 24:26view, not only of the negative aspects of philosophy, but of the positive
- 24:30ones. So, well, in that case I attributed it to that ignorance.
- 24:36Not guilty and I didn' t care. But when time goes by
- 24:38and you talk to more people within our circles who should know and still try
- 24:45not to want to know the mutual relations that exist and that there has always
- 24:51been and indeed Christianity from the beginning, already the Apostle Paul tried to dialogue
- 24:56with the Greeks in Athens. He went there to the hill of Mars the
- 25:04aeropagus and had that splendid tremendous message. He is the one who deals most
- 25:10with the messages or sermons of the Apostle Paul and Christianity has always had a
- 25:17concern to come to reason and what will then be said to seek a regenerated
- 25:22reason. Reason you have spoken well of feelings, emotions with what seems to
- 25:29play religion and it is true and it is not true. Religion also has
- 25:32great reason for reason, for logic, for our understanding, so impossible sometimes
- 25:40to come to understand the existence of a single and at the same time triune
- 25:45god, for it is a question of debate and logic and much analysis.
- 25:51And the same is true of the theme of divine incarnation, the theme of
- 25:55eternal damnation. To what extent are all these subjects that, although they are
- 25:59religious, are philosophable in terms of what they demand, logic and reason,
- 26:04that I have an answer, since no one is happy not knowing things,
- 26:10I mean, no one wants to be ignorant. We all like and enjoy
- 26:14knowing from childhood, we ask why of everything and the older we ask ourselves,
- 26:21because the questions are already more complicated and to no one, nobody is
- 26:25funny or convinces us and on the other hand we are very depressed that we
- 26:30are thrown away with more uncle. You don' t care about that.
- 26:33We want to know the philosophy of that movement and religion, the Christian religion
- 26:37and all religions also want to know, they want to know what happens to
- 26:41the life of man after death. There' s a beyond, there'
- 26:44s no beyond. In other words, religion also began in its origins as
- 26:48a philosophical question. If we understand by philosophy, the search for knowledge,
- 26:55morals, knowledge, then religion what happens, which is more ancient agnosses and
- 26:59is nourished by metaphors of myths that make a lot of sense and have a
- 27:03philosophy. Let' s say in embryo that we have to develop, there
- 27:11is a very rich symbolism, because, of course, all this comes from
- 27:12religion. Well from the origins of man, even those who do not believe
- 27:17in the special creation of Adam and Eve, to the same anthropologists who study
- 27:23the fossil gestures of man of atapuerca or even more backward, to the early
- 27:30humans, for it is already observed detail that they were religious men, religious
- 27:34beings by the way in which they buried their dead paintings in the caves where
- 27:40they hid. So, religion was the first logical and rational action of man
- 27:45to understand the mystery of the existence of Christianity, for the continuity of that
- 27:52primordial man, created by God and I repeat, does much harm to people,
- 27:59to churches, it is even to the outside penmisar that there is an
- 28:03opposition between you reason and more to what the feelings of ur Gai Gazet,
- 28:10who was not a believer, was rather a goodagnostic, but a man who
- 28:14understood the Christian faith very well, He did not speak of reason as some
- 28:18think the reason was devious. He speaks of cordial reason. For me this
- 28:22is one of the most precious and fruitful discoveries in my life. Cordial reason
- 28:29has to do with the Latin core, that is, with the heart.
- 28:33A reason that arises the heart. Let' s get a head start on
- 28:37this. Ortegése is saying it. He' s not telling you a believer.
- 28:41He is saying a man who has analyzed the philosophy of his time and
- 28:45life, which is what worried him the most, and he with his theory
- 28:49of reason vitalism, that is, the vital reaction the reason that is based
- 28:55on life and that he understands that reason is not an absolute, is a
- 28:57part of our life. And all that Christianity defends, that truth is reached
- 29:03by feeling, by conversion, by doing, by fulfilling the word that is
- 29:08not excluded, that is faith as another text says, the apostle Paul.
- 29:15We have nothing against the truth, but for the truth. The truth is
- 29:19what the Christian also seeks, seeks it with other languages, other ways of
- 29:25speaking, and some, unfortunately, do not seek because they think that good
- 29:30Christ is the truth, for if they already have Christ so that they already
- 29:33have everything, but Christ more than the concept they have in Christ. Christ
- 29:37always overcomes us and Christ has a message also for the thinker and for the
- 29:41philosopher. But better, what to leave any more questions to not be me
- 29:47just the crible, It' s not very interesting in what you' re
- 29:51counting Alfonso. Gentlemen, we' re talking to Alfonso wardrobe this morning about
- 29:55philosophy and Christianity. In addition, he has written two works about introduction to
- 30:00philosophy, a Christian perspective, also philosophy and Christianity, integral and integrative thought,
- 30:07very pedagogical books already a few years ago that were written, but they
- 30:11are really very current as a perfect introduction to philosophy even from the Christian perspective,
- 30:19but in faith and reason, in those two parts of your work that
- 30:26you approach in such an interesting way Alfonso this Christianity and philosophy, Christianity the
- 30:33only one that exists, of course, with many interpretations, of course,
- 30:38and philosophy that misunderstanding, almost chronic between philosophy, reason and faith, that
- 30:45kind of demonization of philosophy that, after all, philosophy is love of wisdom.
- 30:55Why, then, it does occur because of historical causes. That is
- 31:02why the first book Cilsury of Christianity and I call integral and integrative thought,
- 31:08because we have Christians, but we also have to say that we are Christians,
- 31:15evangelicals or Protestants or charismatic or whatever we want that we have a date
- 31:21of birth in Christ, in faith but historically, because in the age of
- 31:26reform, in the sixteenth century, where until that time, until the sixteenth
- 31:30century, philosophy had lived peacefully with Christianity. And think about taking it to
- 31:37Timo Anselmo of Canterbury, Escotorigena and all the greats of scholasticism. Philosophy,
- 31:44of course, sometimes seemed to complicate religion and then lutero a satre with all
- 31:49philosophy in the name of the principle of access, which was well to save.
- 31:53If philosophy is not needed, we are not saved by knowledge, we
- 31:57are saved by God, who has made for us the sacrifice of his son
- 32:00on the Cross. Then those were seized, disintegrated the harmony or synthesis that
- 32:08had taken place, because when taking from here it does not rationalize, so
- 32:14to speak, faith. He does not do it to remove them, for
- 32:19the edges of the faith, to deny the faith, but he is really
- 32:22fighting the thinkers and Islamists or Muslims who in his time led philosophical thought and
- 32:31he thought that the Christian could not stay behind, let' s say in
- 32:36this career of ideas. And furthermore, the Island is not that it had
- 32:38a philosophy superior to the Christian one. It is a fact historically demonstrated that
- 32:44Islam, as it conquered territories, over all the territories that had previously been
- 32:49Christians, because the whole part of Palestine, Syria, North Africa there were
- 32:52therefore very rich Christian communities and when they conquered then, already part more oriental,
- 33:00they appropriated the books that were Christian in Greek, that in which they
- 33:06were concerned to fear philosophical and thus discover a new world. And the same
- 33:15thing makes him take it from here to discover that new world that the Church
- 33:21had left a little aside. But of course, for three hundred years all
- 33:25the scholastics were debating the issues and the error or confusion arises between not knowing,
- 33:34to delineate what is the way of salvation that so much as the churches.
- 33:38In this case, if it is implemented very clearly, the path of
- 33:43salvation is open to ignorance and worship, to all equally, because it is
- 33:46not based on the logical or rational perception we have of God and his doctrine,
- 33:52but on trust in a God who offers us salvation in a free way.
- 33:57That is the change of salvation, but it is for him also of
- 34:00salvation. There comes a path of follow- up, of discipleship in which
- 34:05one is not only called to love God and to love the next, but
- 34:08is also called to evangelize, that is, to share his faith with others,
- 34:14to give reasons for his faith and for the reasons of our faith.
- 34:16Not only can we say believe and repent and then you will understand the old
- 34:25cer already days. He is one of the first Jewish Christian philosophers to be
- 34:30called Martyr, because he certainly died as Martyr during the Roman Empire. The
- 34:37first three chases. He is a man who tries to convince his fellow men,
- 34:45his fellow countrymen and in his time, embarrassing himself as a philosopher with
- 34:51a white robe, a robe, which is what they wore, but is
- 34:53thus called a philosopher of Christ. They had nothing against why, because the
- 34:59Philosopher and that' s rescuing. This aspect is also a kind of religion.
- 35:04Laity when people lose faith is not that they stop believing in anything.
- 35:08Just take a substitute. Normally today these books, which have been so popular,
- 35:16which is more platoon and less profane many others and rescue what in its
- 35:23beginning was philosophy an orientation in life, when Christianity also an orientation in life.
- 35:30Christianity also responds or tries to respond to the great concerns that distress us
- 35:35all what I do here and where I go, what sense that in my
- 35:38life and Christianity with religious languages, gives some answers. But that these answers
- 35:44given by religious language can be argued by Julián Marías to the Spanish philosopher that
- 35:51he, if he was a Christian, said that religion is not a philosophy.
- 35:54But in Christianity it is not a philosophy, because it is a way
- 35:58of salvation. But of him very moment that salvation affects man and man in
- 36:02society. Man and society are philosophable themes, and Christianity needs a philosophy to
- 36:07understand man, which is the so- called anthropological philosophy to understand society,
- 36:14than in sociology. Then today we would say, then, that psychology and
- 36:19so many elements that enter into the most amazing thing on this planet that man
- 36:24will see and, as he says, that the crown of creation is the
- 36:27man who bears the divine image and likeness. So, for that we need
- 36:32in philosophy how we need the sciences. Then, if the yglesias in some
- 36:37way develop an antagonistic spirit, disintegrating faith and reason, for the truth deprives
- 36:44young people of the future or places them in a presence that made fremic,
- 36:50on the one hand Christian, with the heart and, on the other hand,
- 36:53mediagnostics, almost with the brain. That cannot be allowed and must be
- 37:00maintained and served in both directions that we can learn and at the same time
- 37:06teach something in these fields and if not, then of course, we mortgage
- 37:09the future. And unfortunately, that mortgage and that' s why our churches,
- 37:15unfortunate people, sometimes focus a lot on the most popular classes, that
- 37:20you have to get to them, in the conflicting classes, with problems of
- 37:28some kind of dependence, whether drugs or alcohol or, this is good to
- 37:32get to these people of the Christian, that much more. We have something
- 37:36to say to the marginalized and to people with problems, but also to educated
- 37:39people who want to know and who need as the one who knows the love
- 37:45that for us is the supreme love of God. And so. But in
- 37:50the reform, by separating that synthesis that happened and getting the question what happens,
- 37:57the churches began to look at themselves a lot and began the Lutheran Calvinist
- 38:01divisions, similians to abatis, also onites, and so up to one hundred
- 38:07and six hundred branches that in fixed places in how to get to the world
- 38:12and present a coherent vision of the faith is that each one defends his peculiarities,
- 38:15the one that is arminialism, that the Calvinist to Calvinism and loses the
- 38:21best ceres and the best efforts in internal struggles, instead of understanding that society
- 38:28and that world to which we are called to serve and that for that we
- 38:31must study it and not devote so much time to fighting each other when we
- 38:37are called to be light and salt of the world. This is, by
- 38:38the way, many of these theologies influenced by a strong philosophical component, especially
- 38:45Greek. Of some of those theologies that you have mentioned by influence, no
- 38:52doubt, but beyond that, for example, in the history of the fathers
- 38:55of the Church, noble men as hygienes and I think Tertullian Eusebius himself,
- 39:02Augustine himself, whom we respect so much, men eminently with a formation of
- 39:09the apostle Paul himself, with an intellectual and philosophical formation, beyond the mystical
- 39:16and spiritual, which was the essentiality of his experience. But evidently, he
- 39:23was a man with a great intellectual background, right, and others on the
- 39:27list are endless, exactly on the list is endless. But all the patristics
- 39:35were in more, especially the cappadocios, the Greeks. This comes from philosophy,
- 39:39they become Christians and the fervor for faith leads him to neglect philosophy a
- 39:43little, But of course, they have that philosophical background that is given in
- 39:46his works. Agustín The same. Augustine comes from the rhetorical formation, which
- 39:52was the academic formation that was then given included logic, which was philosophy,
- 39:57included language, it was to be able to defend itself by transmitting ideas.
- 40:02And he, for he is not the father almost of modernity. I am
- 40:07referring to Gustin and with faith and one reads his comments that he makes to
- 40:10Genesis or to anyone else and you are amazed at his psychological and theological and
- 40:17human penetration of the biblical texts, because he has a full formation of the
- 40:23culture of his time and knows how to draw out the Bible, for riches
- 40:28that sometimes we do not extract if we do not study and investigate him and
- 40:34the same can be said all the Augustinian schools that followed him and, as
- 40:39he has mentioned origins, that it was also a portent of knowledge and openness.
- 40:45And at the same time, the first systematic theologian in his Treaty of
- 40:51Principles is all the most complete theology that even pagans used to solve certain questions.
- 41:01And yet, I repeat, that is broken in reform. Then sanctism
- 41:07and its logic and understanding have its cause. But of course, it'
- 41:10s been five hundred years. We can' t be anchored in the past.
- 41:15And that is the problem that many people who just want to do a
- 41:21dichotomy between gospel and cultural life, who do not understand that we also have
- 41:27a cultural mission and the gospel holds us only for the abhorrent sinner who is
- 41:32in the vice of the Gospel. It also has to enlighten the person who
- 41:37is apparently good, even if he is a sinner, who has concerns,
- 41:40but whose logic at the moment does not allow him to accept the faith because
- 41:49it sounds irrational to them. But also in this century there have been cases
- 41:52of spectacular conversions of highly formed philosophers, specifically who have embraced Christianity. Moreover,
- 42:00in most universities, especially Spanish, there are professors of philosophy where we
- 42:07have a series of philosophers with a Christian background, usually Catholic. But if
- 42:15I think Abran Jacinto Choza, Carlos Barils and others, can amazing the number
- 42:22there is, I would say that almost one by university are doing very important
- 42:28works, especially anthropological studies, which is the field of philology and that we
- 42:32must take advantage of. The one I mentioned before Julian Marias was the roof
- 42:37of a book dedicated to the process of Christianity, problems of Christianity and its
- 42:43metaphysical anthropology. Jabía El Zubiri is one of the greatest philosophers in Spain,
- 42:46or has already died, but also worldwide. He is a figure on whom
- 42:52studies are carried out internationally and was a man, an integral defender of the
- 42:58Christian faith, that is, that this must be taken into account, of
- 43:02bearing in mind that we have to abandon. It' s a mini-
- 43:08infraculture ghetto in which we sometimes move, There' s a perum your We
- 43:15have a cultural underworld and although our young people, fortunately, have more and
- 43:20more access to higher education. But even in the churches this culture of infra
- 43:24- culture is maintained. That' s right, that' s right.
- 43:28We' re talking to Don Alfonso wardrobe about philosophy and Christianity. What would
- 43:35then be the boundaries between philosophy and theology. There, yes, there must
- 43:38be some border. There, well, the borders. Of course we'
- 43:45ll see her. The issue has been under discussion for many years, but
- 43:50it is quite right. I believe it is a study that has already been
- 43:53overcome today, especially in the so- called historical churches, Churches that have
- 44:00people dedicated to theological study. And such we would bring are very missionary churches,
- 44:06with little preparation, because most of our energy is devoted to social work
- 44:12and evangelisms. Then, but the border does not exist, that is,
- 44:17in reasonable writing. And if the FAITH were unreasonable, we could not communicate
- 44:23it. In order for one thing to be able, someone can accept it,
- 44:29they have to understand it and for them we have to present it in
- 44:30a logical way. And because it is logical and reasonable, it is communicable
- 44:35and the FAITH is communicable from the beginning. Then the border more than the
- 44:39border. I would say, what needs to be done is the inculus of
- 44:44Christian initiation. I tried with these volumes that fortunately already have five or six
- 44:50editions that have sold very well in Latin America. Every time I' m
- 44:53known more than anything by that book today, sometimes also by mail when I
- 44:58' m seen on Facebook or in other media. I' ve read your
- 45:00book and I' m glad. What is more, I can say from
- 45:04people who today are, people who are emerging in the evangelical world that my
- 45:12first book saved him, as to me perhaps also from existential anguish and anxiety
- 45:17of faith, such a loss of faith by discovering that possible compatibility between faith
- 45:23and reason and gladdening me these testimonies of children of shepherds. I have even
- 45:29received some other e- mail for saying the help they had when they took
- 45:34salt out of their minds that, as Christians, they had to be multifaceted,
- 45:39so to speak intellectually. No, and that' s the first job.
- 45:43We have to be informed, we have to be informed and we have
- 45:46to lose our fear. In this sense, it would be necessary to do
- 45:51with the words that the father who were or Catholics in the previous one,
- 45:55but that it was interesting and to pass to me a good motto. Don
- 45:58' t be afraid. Do not be afraid of the Christian and, in
- 46:01fact, the scripture also says that we face whether we have the truth of
- 46:07God, how we can have human truth. Human truth is partial, circumstantial.
- 46:12It is perspectives and all partial truths that must be integrated into a more
- 46:19general truth than into the Christian faith, a faith that has already been two
- 46:23thousand years and in those two thousand years, I believe that a body of
- 46:27doctrines has been created with sufficient reasons to convince even the most intellectually restless.
- 46:35Salvation is something else. That is always a personal decision of a person who
- 46:39becomes or does not, for because he understands or why he has touched himself
- 46:45by God, but what is the understanding of the Christian faith, what others
- 46:49call apologetics or fundamental theology or foundations. Today there is an enormous amount of
- 46:59literature in this area, very instructive and, furthermore, sincerely, of academic
- 47:05value. To me, enviable, something that really excites me, but you
- 47:10lied. I know that these are books that go unnoticed in our field and
- 47:15that this, without realizing the so- called leaders or leaders, has an
- 47:22impact on the future of rooting faith in young people. I do not know
- 47:24only about enthusiasm, because enthusiasm goes well for ten, one or two or
- 47:29three twenty years. But the Christian faith is a faith of resistance, it
- 47:34is a good springntro like the world in a day. Life says so many
- 47:37years. It' s resistance. Christ told him to put the plow'
- 47:42s hand forward and not look back. And for that it takes very convinced
- 47:46people, enthusiastic people. I have been a shepherdess year, in about twenty
- 47:51years and I have seen them and or an enthusiast and, unfortunately, at
- 47:55a time when they go out or go away, we need people who are
- 48:00enthusiastic, but also, who are convinced, who know what they believe,
- 48:05because when one is convinced of something, I think it persists more, the
- 48:10most firm one continues as the skeleton of the church, which there is maintained
- 48:15not only of the most vaporous aspects. I remember, when I met the
- 48:20lord late, I joined the culture because I didn' t even know how
- 48:24to read. I learned to read better by reading the New Testament and joined
- 48:31the culture very tacitly and then I started and then I did. I prepared
- 48:35for university access very late, but I did start reading and reading everything that
- 48:40fell into my hands of the time, the Red Book of Pauma, all
- 48:45the characters, the communist manifesto, etcetera. Of course, Nixi and all
- 48:51of his work and the madman used everything to everyone who came from behind and
- 48:54further back and further back. And in the end, although it is evident
- 49:00that there are many risks and in those works, when in the convictions of
- 49:05ugly are internalized, when there is no disciple in the life of the well
- 49:07- rooted client. But when there is, as was my case, that
- 49:09it was happening to me they revitalized me more in my faith they encouraged me
- 49:15to be Christian, that is to say it can have an effect for some
- 49:22antagonistic, but for others revulsive. Right, yes, exactly. It'
- 49:27s helpful. There is an author in Colombian clie, artur Iván Rojas,
- 49:32because he has written a book created to believe, to understand and another I
- 49:39do not remember the title of two books has written that they are sportsal,
- 49:45because the idea is that most people read it every day a phrase from a
- 49:49philosopher and an academic and then he gives his explanation. No or the day
- 49:52of the shepherd gives his Christian explanation and a biblical text, but it always
- 49:58begins with phrases, trying to introduce the general guilt. And this boy who
- 50:01is producing these works, when the boy is already forty comes from the drug
- 50:07of the street of Colombia, not from anyone, as the Pasano Apostle says,
- 50:13that the vile and despised God chose, but not to continue to do
- 50:16in the vileness and less price, but precisely to make in us new people,
- 50:22new concerns. Paul called that the regenerated reason and then this art uriban
- 50:30and I know other cases. I don' t already say it' s
- 50:34an example of a person being dejected. He himself told me there he was
- 50:37throwing it in the street, thinking only when to get a new dose of
- 50:43drugs and somehow surprising because of the insistence of certain people. Well, he
- 50:45comes to the faith and not only does he come, but today he'
- 50:50s a but I think he' s a future writer. He is a
- 50:52teacher, in a great seminary, in a church is called house on the
- 50:57rock that are the ten eleven zero members and is the responsibility of education.
- 51:00This indicates, therefore, the regenerative force of Christianity, not only in a
- 51:05moral plan, but also in an intellectual plan, that bad habits, alcohol
- 51:09habits, drugs must naturally be changed. Whatever it is, then it is
- 51:14also necessary to change the bad, mental habits, laziness, ignorance, and
- 51:17that which is sometimes forgotten. It has also taken me a lot to get
- 51:24to the little I know and a lot of self- taught, because everyone
- 51:30was dangerous and I had to find my own books and my own studies,
- 51:37and that' s why the situation hurts. But, I repeat, I
- 51:40have learned more from all these thinkers, not only philosophers, but from the
- 51:45whole field of human knowledge that brings me to today. As you said,
- 51:51I am excited, because my faith, but not my parish, but my
- 51:58Christian faith, which is broader, an open faith, in a faith that
- 52:00has answers and that we can be proud of. I know that there are
- 52:07many things I don' t understand and after many years studying there, I
- 52:12still have many questions, but the basic certainties are there and I think they
- 52:19are always a key to understanding, because any subject that haunts us concerns us
- 52:25economics, politicians, etcetera. If, then, the churches must invest in
- 52:31education, in education of their leaders, first and also of the members,
- 52:37so that, as the Apostle Peter says, we may know the reason of
- 52:40our faith and against those who oppose it, not only respond with clichés or
- 52:49disqualifications, for that an atheist is an unbeliever. No, no, people
- 52:52don' t believe, not only for irrational reasons, but because this complex
- 53:00world needs answers. And I think the answers, though so complex, are
- 53:07there. Sinism, he has a lot to say. Yes, sir Yes,
- 53:13I really did, Alfonso, I really liked this interview. I'
- 53:20m a fan of the subject, too. I am a man and,
- 53:23like you and many others, I have a need for a deeply spiritual experience.
- 53:30I do not understand the Christian life in any other way, but it
- 53:36is not antagonistic at all. All that I have said I believe is complementary
- 53:38and also necessary to explain this world and many of the currents of socio-
- 53:45political thought and human behavior. So, this would give a lot of itself.
- 53:50But these books philosophy and Christianity by Alfonso closet introduction to philosophy we can
- 53:54find them again, because they are magnificent Alfonso that have continued to be edited.
- 54:00In fact, the second to be introduced to philosophy covers two thousand years
- 54:05of guando, the four thousand years of philosophy from the pre- Socratic to
- 54:09the present. So, for an initiation it' s more than enough.
- 54:13I don' t know the resource, but it' s the pages.
- 54:15I don' t remember how many anymore. But it is not a light
- 54:19treatment, a deep treatment of what philosophy has said about God, that is,
- 54:23it is tractor of Canto or of Chopenhauer, older of aristoteles Plato is
- 54:29a journey, that is, the introduction is not so much to as phil
- 54:31know Philosopher, but have thought philosophers throughout history. The first is more of
- 54:38Christian faira arguments and philosophy. Much I was thinking of interlocutors like Fernando Sabater
- 54:46and the philosopher Ateo who challenges me to think then a little more complex,
- 54:53but it is very interesting for those who already know some philosophy. The second
- 54:59is a journey through the history of philosophy from the perspective of faith and I
- 55:04think they are still books of course, they are very useful today, of
- 55:08course what I think to add and already the last currents, but that does
- 55:14not affect philosophy in general at all. And now good, for that afank
- 55:17that one always has to deepen and curl the curl what is in itself the
- 55:22essence of the knowledge of the relationship between faith and reason. Philosophy Christianity is
- 55:30more than enough put in these two books and they are accessible both in the
- 55:36publishing house, but they go better in the evangelical bookstores. Even I'
- 55:39ve seen him in Amazon at the book house. You can ask from anywhere,
- 55:45because there is that Philosophy and Christianity of Alfonso Ropero introduction to philosophy.
- 55:52Gentlemen and gentlemen and think hard, let us think of the words that Don
- 55:59Alfonso has dedicated to us on this subject have something to do with each other
- 56:02philosophy and Christianity, or they are antagonistic. I think the answers are served.
- 56:07There' s a lot more. It is a subject that would give
- 56:08a whole three- hour program, such as the train of life, but
- 56:12we will leave it there and again we will take it back for your great
- 56:15interest. Dear Alfonso, thank you so much for appearing this morning publicly on
- 56:21the radio, thanks to you, and I hope that we will continue and
- 56:25with that subject of teritality in philosophy. It would be very interesting, because
- 56:29also tremendous several books on this subject, not mine, but by very competent
- 56:32authors, because there we are placed with that theme spirituality and also philosophy,
- 56:38a hug very affectionate until always. Dear friend, likewise, the train of
- 56:58life, life, life R How many are we going to celebrate, what

- 1:02:13that matters. Or what happens to us when we lie clinical psychologist Daniel Gaso
- 1:02:50is going to tear the subject apart today we are going to challenge him,
- 1:02:54let' s ask him some things about why we lie according to the lying
- 1:02:59dictionary, that is, one thing that is not true with intent to deceive.
- 1:03:02If we look for a more academic definition, we will find expression or
- 1:03:08manifestation contrary to what is believed, thought or known. So whoever deceives or
- 1:03:13confuses without being aware of it, does not lie, simply transmits to others
- 1:03:17his own mistake. The relationship that each person maintains with the lie, in
- 1:03:22addition to saying a lot of it, is very different from that of others.
- 1:03:28Some only resort to lying when it is compassionate or when it provides positive
- 1:03:31results, without generating any relevant deception or if it is a trivial matter.
- 1:03:40Finally, there are also those who often need to lie almost by habit and
- 1:03:45only on irrelevant issues. However, we cannot forget those who lie sporadically but
- 1:03:53consciously, causing harm to others or pursuing personal benefits. And there are also
- 1:04:00people who tend to lie or to silence necessary truths out of shyness, shame
- 1:04:05or lack of character. Finally, we must mention pathological liars who lie with
- 1:04:13a surprising ease, either for convenience or for an absolute and cynical lack of
- 1:04:17respect for the truth. However, even these people are not immune to some
- 1:04:25of the psychological and even physiological effects that lie produces on each of us when
- 1:04:31we practice it. Well, what happens to us when we lie. There
- 1:04:38we have Don Daniel Gaso or clinical psychologist who is going to talk to us
- 1:04:43this morning opening New Year. Good morning, dear, Daniel, good morning,
- 1:04:50July, and good morning to all who listen to us. Faithfully,
- 1:04:56Daniel, but why we lied. That' s a big question. We
- 1:05:00lied to Julio for countless reasons. The truth is that we lie out of
- 1:05:06convenience, out of hatred, out of compassion, out of envy, out
- 1:05:14of selfishness or out of necessity. Sometimes there are even people who think they
- 1:05:15need to lie or as a defense against aggression. But the margin, the
- 1:05:21origin or the motivation for the when we lie, as all lies are equal
- 1:05:27as to their effects. The most harmful ones are for our psyches. These
- 1:05:33are the lies we want not to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions,
- 1:05:40that is, we lie to avoid a responsibility or a consequence of something
- 1:05:45we have done previously. And inside this group. Even the least permissible and
- 1:05:48most harmful lies are those that harm those who are wrong or can lead to
- 1:05:57the recipient or the lie who will be believing making decisions that harm him,
- 1:06:01that is, leaving someone and that person because he makes a decision based on
- 1:06:05that lie thinking that it is real, that it is true wrong and it
- 1:06:11is hurt. Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that the two great parameters
- 1:06:16essential to calibrate the gravity of the lie is the intention that drives it and
- 1:06:23the effect that causes this lie. Our relationship to lying, that is,
- 1:06:29how often we lie and how serious those lies are, we can consider it
- 1:06:33as a kind of value that what it does is measure our degree of responsibility
- 1:06:39and maturity, how we face frustrations, and whether we are consistent with attitudes
- 1:06:45of behavior in our lives. That' s what usually happens when an environment
- 1:06:54and when someone' s lie is exposed, which is the sign of the
- 1:06:57level of coherence and maturity in our lives. Of course, of course,
- 1:07:02one of the main foundations upon which human relationships are built and sustained. Daniel
- 1:07:06is trust. What is the relationship between trust and lies in the framework of
- 1:07:12human relations? Yeah,' cause that similar question you' re having a
- 1:07:17bit of an obriety, isn' t it? But instead, it'
- 1:07:19s not. It is quite the opposite, because the whole relationship between human
- 1:07:23beings would not require trust if we were transparent, Julius. But we'
- 1:07:28re not. The reality is that we are not transparent to fully discover our
- 1:07:32intimacy before a person of our intimacy that contains purposes and intentions that, without
- 1:07:39attempting to do so, could harm a conversation or an interaction with that person,
- 1:07:44which would be to stop it from social organization. For example, imagine
- 1:07:46that the Christmas dinner, now that it has been done quite a lot lately,
- 1:07:50is placed in the companies of this year, because I don' t
- 1:07:56know you feel talked about your co- worker or with whom you form team
- 1:08:00throughout the year and this fellow appears with a brilliant American, with a scandalous
- 1:08:05print of red moles and on a white background, to say something at any
- 1:08:10time your typical opinion about his dress. However, in the middle of the
- 1:08:13dinner, he gets up to give a speech about the past year and about
- 1:08:19the company partner file, for example, of course, when you are exchanging
- 1:08:27impressions about his speech. Then, apart from the two of us, you
- 1:08:30' re convinced I' m a dresser. It has not helped in any
- 1:08:33way to strengthen their credibility and enchantment. However, it follows that your thoughts
- 1:08:38are not transparent. You don' t have a little conflict with your work
- 1:08:42cloth. If he discovers that you find his clothing, then really inappropriate or
- 1:08:47even ridiculous. In essence, we all resort to a communication protocol and pretend
- 1:08:53and disguise are, even if it costs to recognize the essential components of that
- 1:08:58kind of agreement or what kind of a deal we have. We' re
- 1:09:01not as sincere in the whole world. That' s obvious. We all
- 1:09:04show a certain degree of opacity among others and the truth is that not always
- 1:09:10more sincerity generates greater confidence. We all know that information is power and knowing
- 1:09:16everything about someone amounts to a way of being a kind of possessor of that
- 1:09:21person. It' s in our remal. In a certain way and in
- 1:09:26a certain sense, the depth of friendship or love between two people is measured
- 1:09:30by the degree of reciprocal knowledge of intimacy between the two. That happens a
- 1:09:38lot, especially in couples. Trust is a basic attitude because it presides over
- 1:09:43all interactions between people. We need it, but we use it in the
- 1:09:48dose that, according to our judgment, each one of us needs to be
- 1:09:53the pure truth at the moment when communication with the other person arises, because
- 1:09:57we pass that we need to place in it a degree of trust, which
- 1:10:00is the thermometer of the bond we have with that person. The more confident
- 1:10:05the bond is, the deeper it is. One of the most negative effects
- 1:10:10of lying is that we disappoint each other' s confidence and before their eyes
- 1:10:15we stop being reliable dension That' s very important. I lose reliability in
- 1:10:18the eyes, in the eyes of quintence. That means that one of the
- 1:10:24destructive effects of lying is its ability to destroy meaningful relationships. And the peculiarity
- 1:10:31of this destructive effect is that the greater the significance, that is, the
- 1:10:35more important the relationship, the greater the degree of destruction lies. Of course,
- 1:10:42lying certainly destroys trust between people, it is the erosion, especially when
- 1:10:47the lie is discovered in an already categorical way. It destroys trust among friends,
- 1:10:58even among intersociated wells and among people in general. And it really is
- 1:11:04now. The handling of the lie means we should never lie. But of
- 1:11:12course, but the handling of the lie has many bad consequences. Lies don
- 1:11:17' t really have good consequences, ever. Never. The truth is,
- 1:11:21it' s never a reality. This never has good consequences. But,
- 1:11:26however, living in an environment, in society that seems to be that good,
- 1:11:30nothing happens. If that is a love mind, that the relationship of
- 1:11:33couple does not resent, that still well and are a series of inventions that
- 1:11:39we turn, inventions I see that social that are not really deceptions, do
- 1:11:45not work. The real thing that lies produce something positive at some point is
- 1:11:50not true. That' s right, it hurts the truth, but,
- 1:11:56well, we' ll talk about it really. What it means to trust
- 1:11:59someone, For trusting someone means to believe that the chances of being deceived by
- 1:12:05some lie on that person are very rare or nonexistent. I mean, I
- 1:12:10don' t think I' m gonna be fooled if you start a relationship
- 1:12:14that way with someone, because that relationship isn' t gonna be healthy.
- 1:12:16Of course, if we want to be credible and enjoy the benefits of a
- 1:12:21relationship of trust from others, we should completely banish deception, mean, truth
- 1:12:28and misdirected information. The credit we have before others, which is very fragile,
- 1:12:33is always something fragile and is not perennial, does not remain forever,
- 1:12:38as it is updated and reviewed in each action. I mean, two people
- 1:12:43can today have fantastic trust in their relationship, but tomorrow one of them lies
- 1:12:48to the other. And it' s like you' re updating that reliability
- 1:12:56in every dialogue and every interaction. We must bear in mind that it is
- 1:12:59being reviewed. If we in lied at some point that reliability was there it
- 1:13:03is not, and it is then the responsibility of each of us to relate
- 1:13:10from the truth. What is evident is that each one must decide how much
- 1:13:14of his intimacy. That' s a reality, how much of that intimacy
- 1:13:18you want to share with each person that we need to be clear about how
- 1:13:23much of my intimacy. I want to share with someone, with the person
- 1:13:25I have in front of me. It is important because we have to know
- 1:13:29to respond, putting limits on our intimacy in every interaction, as we are
- 1:13:33authentic. The thing that is said a lot is a very authentic person.
- 1:13:36That' s worth it if the only thing. That means living with the
- 1:13:40doors permanently open with everyone and even if we receive pressure, appealing to authenticity,
- 1:13:46one of the ways to avoid feeling that we should disown those who demand
- 1:13:51a level of intimacy is to lie, and that is the big problem that
- 1:13:57sometimes there are people who seem to demand that we be more transparent, that
- 1:14:02we behave more things of our intimacy and sometimes the fear of sharing that is
- 1:14:08going to lie curiously to us, that is, trying not to desert anyone
- 1:14:13because we are not authentic. We ended up in a mortuary. Yeah,
- 1:14:15yeah, yeah. I have raised this many times the need that one does
- 1:14:20not mean and is not obliged to say their intimacies, but we should do
- 1:14:27so in such a way that it is not necessarily lying. So it'
- 1:14:30s like knowing, putting a stop to our saying the discrectional being in terms
- 1:14:41of saying what we want the other, our interlocutor, to know is a
- 1:14:45friend more to the arrival or less has arrived, but without the need to
- 1:14:48lie, to have the ability and the art of saying. So far I
- 1:14:51want to tell you what I want to tell you, but to hide what
- 1:14:57I don' t want to tell you, I don' t want to
- 1:15:02lie to you exactly that, because the way you said it Julio is a
- 1:15:04good way to do it. Explaining to the person looks. I' m
- 1:15:06not gonna feel comfortable. If I share more details, if from such a
- 1:15:12thing of so other, I will feel very uncomfortable and sincerely want to be
- 1:15:16too. On the other hand, I want to be very honest with you.
- 1:15:18I' d rather tell you this is the truth and that you know
- 1:15:24that all I' m telling you is 100% of the truth. Yes,
- 1:15:27so there is no part of that truth that is added and that you
- 1:15:30do not know or that it is hidden and should not, etc, etc,
- 1:15:35of course, but that who I have such respect for our relationship that
- 1:15:41I want you to be able to affirm at all times that what I have
- 1:15:45told you is real, authentic and and, in fact, who harms the
- 1:15:53lie Daniel the lie the most, although it greatly harms the recipient. Of
- 1:15:55course, to whom you most harm the emitter, to whom you mint,
- 1:16:00who lies, since it makes him a unreliable person. He is therefore unworthy
- 1:16:03of trust in no social credit. Of course the person knows that. But
- 1:16:09sooner or later it is what the popular reformer says that he catches a liar
- 1:16:14more than a lame one before, because it is a reality. He ends
- 1:16:18up being caught lying because lying is exhausting. Living a lie, living a
- 1:16:26life with liars is really voted for. Not too long ago we have seen
- 1:16:31very strong things and even people who, in the face of so much pressure
- 1:16:36and tension, have even lost their lives or become sick because they have to
- 1:16:42keep a whole brutal catalogue of lies that perhaps a lie to sustain themselves.
- 1:16:47You need another lie, of course, of course, and then these two
- 1:16:53third shelves to hold on. For that it is really exhausted that exhausting better
- 1:16:58true, accompanied by compassion and irony, than lies for mercy. Yeah,
- 1:17:01that' s exactly a good definition. Daniel and you see the good ones,
- 1:17:06of course you say sometimes when we talk about lies or demagoguery, because
- 1:17:12the word of madgia is demagoguery. It' s a subtle lie. Demagoguery
- 1:17:17is a subtle lie and then you say good you are a demagogue, but
- 1:17:24it is that politicians in general, except very rare ex- lessons, practice
- 1:17:31demagoguery, that is, lies mixed with truth. Sometimes they say strong truths
- 1:17:38and truths, but sometimes they use them for partisan or political interest or for
- 1:17:45any other hidden interest. They use lies in a proud way. That is,
- 1:17:54in politics, for example, lies are practiced a lot. Yes,
- 1:17:58that' s because the basic goal of the typical political discourse is to get
- 1:18:09the approval or pleasure of people who are supposed to listen to you what you
- 1:18:15need in some way, with their support, with their approval, with their
- 1:18:18approval and with their vote. Finally, then clear this, when we have
- 1:18:25the value scale of values that is so flexible, it is seciftamento is flexible,
- 1:18:30what we put is above the first priority of all is to get the
- 1:18:34formation of people and the second the honesty, the sincerity. Sure, that
- 1:18:41' s what doesn' t work. Yes, of course, it'
- 1:18:43s true that being honest doesn' t give so many votes. Often,
- 1:18:45although I should give them, there should be more votes, but in this
- 1:18:50there are not two votes. Well, suddenly there come some who say truths
- 1:18:55that others hide, this is true, and suddenly they surprise the parish and
- 1:19:01of course because they saw and they were, that is, they saw the
- 1:19:06ones criticizing the caste. They come from the new caste that are not called
- 1:19:11caste and say truths like fists. But then they incur them in the same
- 1:19:16cycle, in another version, you know in another clear cycle of lies,
- 1:19:24then it is a pattern that is constantly reproduced from some point on. No,
- 1:19:31but well this would be long to comment, but judging by the way
- 1:19:35lies are usually treated in the media and in general, in our society,
- 1:19:40it would be said that lying unless you are caught is almost harmless. But
- 1:19:47I ask you what happens to our psyche, to our mind when we lie,
- 1:19:53because that is very important, because that is something that is generally ignored.
- 1:19:57But lying triggers a July phenomenon, a psychological phenomenon called cognitive distortion,
- 1:20:01which is that it is one of the psychological phenomena that occur in the person
- 1:20:08' s mind, which lies whenever there is no correspondence between the reality that
- 1:20:12the person perceives and the information and behavior before that reality. When there is
- 1:20:19no match that when there is no coherence. For example, if I affirm
- 1:20:24a bank cheque without funds, first of all, I am transmitting misleading information,
- 1:20:29which is to ensure that there are funds in the bank account. Secondly,
- 1:20:32my behavior is not congruent with reality, but with your lie and I
- 1:20:36sign the check as if the funds were available, but they are not and
- 1:20:41I know it. That produces in me what is called cognitive distortion, which
- 1:20:45translates into a kind of psychological tension. It is like tensing a guitar string
- 1:20:50that triggers certain effects, both emotional and physiological, very destructive. A person
- 1:20:58who lies, goes and what are those effects? Daniel, for when we
- 1:21:02spoke, when we spoke we knew words, our whole body is conspiring with
- 1:21:10our message. I mean, we don' t just speak with our mouth,
- 1:21:14it' s all our being that speaks in the most visible part and
- 1:21:17the invisible part. But our whole being agrees with the message. Or try
- 1:21:21monkey if you agree and it' s like you get in the middle of
- 1:21:25reality. Our body becomes the middle of between reality and what we say,
- 1:21:29and if there is a contradiction between the two, our body does not reflect
- 1:21:33that contradiction between reality and what we are saying. It is as if deep
- 1:21:39down, our body is designed to live healthyly only in harmony with reality.
- 1:21:45That' s what I really believe, because I mean, living under the
- 1:21:48truth. We are designed to live under the truth and our quepo physically reflects
- 1:21:55the negative results every time we check the reality with the fidelity of the information
- 1:22:00we transmit near it, that is, we do a kind of continuous check
- 1:22:05to see. I' m saying. This is my speech. I'
- 1:22:08m saying this, but the reality that I know what it is. There
- 1:22:12is congruence between what I am saying and this reality. If we could physically
- 1:22:15see what happens in our body every time we transmit the lie, we would
- 1:22:19see as a bunch of fists, to give an example, that beat us
- 1:22:24at once in different parts of the body, causing bruises and injuries. Where
- 1:22:28they hit, lying generates on us an answer that is called stress response OK,
- 1:22:36that is, that our body behaves inevitably by preparing itself as if it
- 1:22:44were to face a real threat. That is the stress response, that is,
- 1:22:47when I lie my body perceives a threat and behaves as if it were
- 1:22:53before me it had a real threat and a major threat. For example,
- 1:22:58by lying, my pupils dilate as if there was little light. It is
- 1:23:04very curious that both the Bible and popular tradition resembling lies to darkness or the
- 1:23:11loss of light and truth to the light. And it' s funny that
- 1:23:15when I lie my pupils moisturize as if there were few in front of me.
- 1:23:18It is something very significant that my body responds to this form. It
- 1:23:23increases the pulsations, that is, our heart starts to beat more quickly,
- 1:23:28increases blood pressure and, therefore, the risk of third good embolisms and the
- 1:23:31health of our circulatory system, because it is not at all good. Increases
- 1:23:36the respiratory rhythm appears sweat changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin. Hence,
- 1:23:43the famous lie detector is used. It is one of the things that
- 1:23:45are used, that is, electricity. The ability of our skin to drive
- 1:23:50electricity varies when we lie our endocrine system, that is, the glands,
- 1:23:57activate and release substances. The torrents us online to activate our body, as
- 1:24:00if we were going to do an intense exercise. Our muscles increase your level
- 1:24:06of tension, especially in the agricultural areas. In the lumbar area of the
- 1:24:11spine. Hence the popular expression that people lie to lies and problems behind their
- 1:24:15backs is more solitative than we think. We emit little uncontrollable changes in the
- 1:24:21tone of voice and in the inflections of the voice and the escapees of others
- 1:24:27sound more insecure, even if others do not know well to explain why,
- 1:24:30but it sounds insecure what someone who lies tells us and also shakes our extremities
- 1:24:36and drys our mouths. Then this increased activation of metabolism results in increased hostility
- 1:24:44and aggressiveness. That is, we become more aggressive when we know that we
- 1:24:50are lying and more hostile, and a decrease in our immune capabilities too,
- 1:24:56that is, our defenses diminish, which makes us much more vulnerable to any
- 1:25:00disease. That means living a life surrounded by lies really puts me at a
- 1:25:08brutal risk July, as you can see. Yes now this is in general
- 1:25:13in most mortals. But there are those who manage to deceive the polygraph and
- 1:25:18the lie detector, because there are some pathological liars who lie with such serenity
- 1:25:26that they are true actors. Cases, they' re very punctual cases.
- 1:25:30This is not the truth. Right. That' s right, right.
- 1:25:31It is true that with proper training, if you can call it that and
- 1:25:36appropriate, you would be able to make fun of or get rid of the
- 1:25:43lie detector and avoid some of the inevitable signals when it comes to lying.
- 1:25:49But this means that we do not physically experience the consequences. If there are
- 1:25:56things that we can control, we can count, for example, the tone
- 1:25:59of nonsense, two gestures, even the pulsations, but there are things that
- 1:26:03we cannot control. Then those consequences are real in our visits, in our
- 1:26:09body. Yes, yes, because those of us who spoke before all these
- 1:26:14professionals of the word, when when they lie they are not moved, do
- 1:26:24not blink at all. The truth is true. And then in journalism there
- 1:26:30is also a lot of information yellowing. No lie or half truths that are
- 1:26:36definitely lies, but then we could say we lie sick. Of course,
- 1:26:45observing the physiological effects of the act of lying. Of course, it is
- 1:26:49easy to realize in July that a person who lives long under discussion, this
- 1:26:55cognitive distortion that we have talked about, which produces the lie, can become
- 1:26:59sick. The reason is that this physiological response of our body is a kind
- 1:27:04of metabolic overeffort that amounts to stress and anxiety, and prolonged stress ends up
- 1:27:10affecting the most vulnerable birds of the person. The worst thing is that it
- 1:27:16does it in an unpredictable way, that is, when a pressure cooker is
- 1:27:23exceeding its pressure level and the safety valve doesn' t work, that expression
- 1:27:30of pressure pruned. But we don' t know where, because we don
- 1:27:33' t know what the thinnest point of the pot is. But what is
- 1:27:35clear is that it will explode from the most vulnerable, thinner point of the
- 1:27:40oil. If there' s a micro- render somewhere that' s not
- 1:27:44always seen, it' ll blow around, because it' s the most
- 1:27:46vulnerable point. All people have our body, our metabolism, or points of
- 1:27:50greater vulnerability just say even phenitistists that we already come, let' s say
- 1:27:58predetermined, if we can say so genetically, as to the most violated points
- 1:28:01in our body. And this means, then, that if I am in
- 1:28:05a permanent stress that causes me to live in a life keeping the lies,
- 1:28:12in the end, this will increase the pressure on my body and reflect it
- 1:28:19by the point of greatest vulnerability. If I have three digestive problems at my
- 1:28:24disposal, then I will have them if I have other circulatory- type problems,
- 1:28:30because I will reflect it that way, in all respects, a final
- 1:28:34resolution July. In that sense, I would like to be valid by way
- 1:28:38of conclusion. But although we often lie only because we are afraid, because
- 1:28:42fear is the main driving force behind lies, to minimize fear, discomfort that
- 1:28:46can cause us to tell the truth. If we take a realistic and honest
- 1:28:51balance of advantages and disadvantages of lying, we will realize that it is healthier
- 1:28:57to tell the truth than to lie the truth. It may hurt that,
- 1:29:01yes, but it usually makes us sick, that is, no one sick
- 1:29:05of nagra. Yeah, what happens is pain sometimes, but make him sick
- 1:29:11because of the truth. Instead, the lie initially does not seem to produce
- 1:29:15right short- term pain. We lie to avoid pain, discomfort, but
- 1:29:19it does make our body, our mind, and our relationships sick. It
- 1:29:25' s just the other way around that truth. Many of those who already
- 1:29:28know us already know July that one of the biblical texts preferred at least by
- 1:29:34me and I know that also by you you will know the truth and the
- 1:29:39truth was free, free that, especially from this group. The sinister personal
- 1:29:44and relational illnesses that give them lies in our lives really. Knowing the truth
- 1:29:53in what happens to us in our life produces freedom, knowing the truth the
- 1:30:00meaning of our productive life and trying good. What a suggestive subject the truth
- 1:30:06is this morning. What happens to us when we lie about the amount of
- 1:30:11things Daniel has been explaining to us and sometimes the negative effects it has on
- 1:30:17our own human psyche, but also on our body and on our social or
- 1:30:25interpersonal relationships. Well, there' s that. We have taken good note
- 1:30:30to be people who practice, who are truthful, who practice truthful relationships,
- 1:30:35truth and avoid lying and renounce it so as not to harm anyone or harm
- 1:30:42themselves. Dear Daniel, a hug, dear friend, until always, until
- 1:30:47always, the whole train of life life. Today can be a great day.
- 1:31:14Your word said so. I just believed and reacted Hodia. I decided
- 1:31:23to be vague, even though in my mind my mistakes want me to be
- 1:31:31gracious is the battle. I didn' t give up and come and I

- 1:35:59life hello. Friends, it' s Julio Perez. You know I'
- 1:36:19m the director of the radio show, the weekly Magaxing train of life.
- 1:36:27And it does nothing less than thirty- two years that we travel through many
- 1:36:31human landscapes and many curiosities and things of life, earthly life and heavenly life.
- 1:36:39I also have the joy of telling you that I have published my book,
- 1:36:45a book that has to do with the train of life. There are
- 1:36:49fifty selected articles written by me. There are six seasons and in each season
- 1:36:59there is a part of eight reflections, temporary reflections for an eternal destiny.
- 1:37:05These are the things I tell in this book. They are perfections, analysis,
- 1:37:14experiences, comments, some curiosity, also in those fifty reflections, in
- 1:37:20those six stations, until we reach the term station that there is also a
- 1:37:25section, a very important block. This book can already be found on Amazon
- 1:37:30on the editorial platform of Amazón. Traveling on the train of life is called
- 1:37:36the book. It' s the title of the book Traveling on the Train
- 1:37:42of Life. Julio Pérez, a server is the author. Then there you
- 1:37:47can well know that the train tells us about journeys through life. Life is
- 1:37:54a kind of living parable, like a running train, that there is so
- 1:37:59much feeling and so many experiences inside the train and what we are seeing inside
- 1:38:04and what we see from the train out. Well, that' s where
- 1:38:10I suggest you get access to this book, look at this book. I
- 1:38:12' ve done it with a lot of love. I think there are things
- 1:38:14that are very dear, very very intimate, and others not so intimate,
- 1:38:18are very open, but it is a book that I have done from the
- 1:38:24heart and with the heart traveling on the train of life. It is the
- 1:38:30title of a Julio Pérez server on Amazon' s editorial platform. You can
- 1:38:35find him. The book has a cost of fifteen euros in about 180 pages
- 1:38:41and everything collected from that book is invested, reinvested in the radio project of
- 1:38:48Onda Paz or Napau and in the train of life. Of course it is
- 1:38:54part of the project so that this is put on and kept going as long
- 1:39:00as it never stops So, I remind you and I thank you in advance
- 1:39:02for buying my book on Amazon' s platform. Traveling on the train of
- 1:39:10the life of a servant Julio Pérez, Thank you always, the train of
- 1:39:30life, an exciting journey along the routes of the heart, an unforgettable trip
- 1:39:36to Ritmo de trem Sé de Segovia, Journalist, theologian and Protestant pastor in
- 1:40:12the city of Madrid, José this new birth, when we talk about the
- 1:40:19new birth, is an idea. Perhaps if we turn to a society like
- 1:40:25Anglo- Saxon or Central European or Protestant countries, the concept, regardless of
- 1:40:33whether it is assumed as such or not, is understandable when we speak.
- 1:40:38But when we speak in a more Catholic, more agnostic, more disbelief-
- 1:40:44like culture of ours, especially of Europe and particularly of southern Europe. This
- 1:40:49new birth sounds to Chinese truth, yes, indeed, really while they are
- 1:40:55being pressured in the countries, especially in the United States, of the born
- 1:41:00Christian, as it translates in so many times here in Spain, highlighting the
- 1:41:04term rebirth, is undoubtedly known because there has been a good number of even
- 1:41:11presidents of the country who have so confessed it to the population. Here,
- 1:41:15however, in Europe and America, well it is estimated almost twenty- five
- 1:41:18percent of the population. More like what you believe in an idea of reincarnation.
- 1:41:24If if you had to believe something up to twenty percent of the Spaniards
- 1:41:28sometimes comes out in some polls or statistics you seem to believe this that there
- 1:41:32are many ways to understand reincarnation, as you very well said, an Eastern
- 1:41:36idea, originally in unscathed, because you believe the rebirth of each soul individually,
- 1:41:43but Buddhism, for example, which is without a doubt an even more
- 1:41:45popular religion or in which that soul exists. So you also have to distinguish
- 1:41:51many times what people call reincarnation, which is very different also from one person
- 1:41:55to another and which generally, as you have very well explained the with a
- 1:42:00text, esoteric accident. Finally, one thing or another is neither Hindu nor
- 1:42:04Buddhist. It is our own idea of reincarnation, which many effectively confuse with
- 1:42:09the new birth. Sure, then, to explain to us and about this
- 1:42:15you have written some very interesting books and explained the idea, you have developed
- 1:42:19it the idea on the subject of reincarnation, that exactly that idea of reincarnation
- 1:42:25you could explain to us a little bit. What is it, because you
- 1:42:30have to have more faith to believe reincarnation than to believe in the new birth,
- 1:42:34right exactly. In fact, reincarnation seeks to respond to the well-
- 1:42:39known problem of all religion, which is evil. How to explain it and
- 1:42:43look for reality that old dream, on the one hand, of the second
- 1:42:47chance to be able to correct past mistakes. But over and over again we
- 1:42:50come across the clear idea that the victim really becomes responsible for his evil,
- 1:42:56that is, the law of cause and effect, which is karma. Behind
- 1:43:02all these Eastern religions. What he does, let' s say, is
- 1:43:08that what you suffer is because of the evil you' ve done. Whereas
- 1:43:10Jesus, for example, when faced with this blind man at birth and asked
- 1:43:14him who sinned who did wrong, whether it was this one or his parents,
- 1:43:18says with a whole categorical statement that neither this one nor his parents,
- 1:43:25so let us say the vision that he offers us. Reincarnation is not a
- 1:43:29bad solution to evil. What it does is to blame the individual for his
- 1:43:32own evil, which is otherwise unclear, and then to fall under the weight
- 1:43:35of guilt without any apparent solution. In principle, Joseph, what is the
- 1:43:45difference between being reincarnated and being born again what is the great conceptual difference,
- 1:43:55for although there are differences, as we have said, in the idea of
- 1:43:57reincarnation that appears in Hinduism and Buddhism. In one is a soul, that
- 1:44:00is, a being that reincarnates and in another does not exist. Let us
- 1:44:05say an individual being who reincarnates, which is the case with Buddhism, but
- 1:44:12in both cases we talk about the survival of the soul. And this is
- 1:44:15what some, by mistake, say even in some esoteric books, that Christianity
- 1:44:18used to teach, because they clearly confuse an idea that some ancient parents of
- 1:44:25the Church appear of a certain presence of the soul with the idea of reincarnation.
- 1:44:32Above all, it' s origin. He is a well- known
- 1:44:35teacher for his false teaching, indeed he was condemned to the history of the
- 1:44:42Church, who had much to refer to this, but he denies reincarnation itself,
- 1:44:45that is, for example, three hundred years already before the famous council,
- 1:44:49in which it is claimed that this doctrine of the Church is discarded,
- 1:44:56He also distinguishes his idea from reincarnation. So much so, all these arguments
- 1:45:00that appear to be Jesus' classical spiritist title saying that before he opened he
- 1:45:09was comparing Lyas with John the Baptist. All these common places that pretend to
- 1:45:15see signs in the Gospel of an idea of reincarnation, are totally off-
- 1:45:21track. Scripture and the Gospel clearly do not teach reincarnation much less. The
- 1:45:29classic spiritism lay in the fact that the Old Testament did indeed have a prohibition
- 1:45:34of contact with the dead and of all this relationship with the spiritual world,
- 1:45:40but that in the New Testament we entered another time in which supposedly no longer
- 1:45:46existed that prohibition, but a new phase began which, then with the appearance
- 1:45:50of the 19th century occultism, would already be the epoch of enlightenment in which
- 1:45:57we came into contact with this spiritual world to which the referents are sought in
- 1:46:01many ways. Sometimes through hypnosis, it was intended to find the testimony of
- 1:46:08past lives in which one would have been incarnated in one creature or another.
- 1:46:14But generally from the theosophy of DIECINUIX, what we find is like the idea
- 1:46:18of an ascent by reincarnation, which is totally contrary to the Eastern religion environmental
- 1:46:24regions. It is bad good, many times a descent becomes a creature that
- 1:46:30is often not considered superior, but can be an insect, any kind of
- 1:46:32living being that is far from ideal. I imagine that of most people,
- 1:46:39and reincarnation, I suppose you will not dream of becoming a fly or an
- 1:46:42ant. But it is really what Eastern religion teaches, not that one will
- 1:46:47become a higher being, ever higher and spiritually. This is a theosophical idea.
- 1:46:54It is not an idea of the Eastern religions that see that, according
- 1:46:58to that law of karma and effects, one can become a creature that may
- 1:47:02seem superior or inferior, but always paying for the evil that he has not
- 1:47:06done. Finally, we are in the same blind circle over and over again
- 1:47:11of cause and effect for which you do that, that you pay for that
- 1:47:15you always get that. This is the law of reincarnation. Sure and then
- 1:47:18closer. We have among so many writings the famous when we read in those
- 1:47:26times the metamorphosis of francasca as to trivialize the idea and not to watch it
- 1:47:30in a good way, that are popular ways of inoculating this concept in the
- 1:47:36social consciousness. True, if I was in Prague this summer, I was
- 1:47:41struck by a t- shirt that they wore on the street, which they
- 1:47:45sold right there, in the Czech city, and I had the picture that
- 1:47:51is usually put out of evolution, as it evolves from more or less simiesque
- 1:47:57beings, not even the human being. And finally, Kafka' s bug
- 1:48:00is already clear. No and then it was a clear irony of human evolution
- 1:48:04from where it would have ended up evolved that, indeed, seen from that
- 1:48:10perspective is a great satire. Of course if it was really this, what
- 1:48:13Kafka would have in mind, of course, shows you a rather depressing evolution,
- 1:48:20a simple cockroach. In the end, yes, well, there is
- 1:48:27the paradigm, at least of the idea that is revealed to us in the
- 1:48:31New Testament about the new birth. It is Jesus himself, who says that
- 1:48:34a man of the Pharisees who was called Nicodemus, who was chief among the
- 1:48:40Jews, came to Jesus by night and good spoke and told Rabbi Master.
- 1:48:45We know that you have come from God as such, because no one can
- 1:48:48do in the signs that you do unless God is with him. And Jesus
- 1:48:51answered him and said to him truthfully, Verily I say unto thee, that
- 1:48:55he that is not born again cannot see the Kingdom of God, and this
- 1:48:59statement of Jesus is novel, surprising, and very important in this dialogue between
- 1:49:04Jesus and Nicodemus. There' s the kid of the truth question. Yes,
- 1:49:09indeed, because the term Kingdom of God is key, clear in all
- 1:49:12scripture, in its entirety, is the search for that moral perfection in this
- 1:49:16life that cannot be attained and that the butpió nicodemos being religious, for he
- 1:49:20sees that frustration and then Jesus' response, of course, cannot be more
- 1:49:25surprising. Now as then, God' s spirit can do what man cannot
- 1:49:30do. In other words, we cannot reform ourselves to the point of being
- 1:49:36able to fulfill that divine kingdom in our lives. But God’ s spirit
- 1:49:42can change us, it can transform us in that sense. Of course it
- 1:49:45is the great Gospel statement of how we can expect everything from God, even
- 1:49:53if we do not expect anything from ourselves, because it is certainly what we
- 1:49:57should think correctly. In light of the words of Lord Jesus, of course,
- 1:50:00being born again has implications, because it is to experience then the apostle
- 1:50:06Paul, Paul' s theology, in different mentions that the apostle Paul,
- 1:50:14when he says if anyone is in Christ new creature is the old old things
- 1:50:19passed and now all are made new and other statements that do not remember that
- 1:50:26a person has experienced that catharsis, that change, that that that new inner
- 1:50:31birth, It is that kind of spiritual change and that affects his whole being,
- 1:50:36his whole life. But of course, something has to be produced in
- 1:50:44that, in that crisis of new birth, as I know how you can
- 1:50:47get to do again that what you have to do, you have to do
- 1:50:50something, you have to go somewhere, you have to look for a magic
- 1:50:54formula. Jesus' words, though enigmatic, exactly for many, in John
- 1:50:59' s chapter three Gospel show us how the effects are more evident than their
- 1:51:04cause and origin. And it compares it to the wind. Of course,
- 1:51:08we look from the window and see the rocked trees, moved many times with
- 1:51:14the storm, but we do not contemplate the wind. What we see are
- 1:51:16the effects the cause. Thus, Jesus, of course, compares the work
- 1:51:21of the spirit with the wind itself, using the Hebrew term par excellence of
- 1:51:27the spirit of Ruag to show how we see more clearly the fruits, the
- 1:51:33unnamed birth evidence that we can explain their origin. There is like a mystery
- 1:51:39that makes Christianity supernatural by artonomasia or really Christianity, or that is natural or
- 1:51:44not Christianity, because it clearly explains to Jesus that the work of the spirit
- 1:51:47has no other explanation. And in that sense, the incomprehension of religious men
- 1:51:57as a nicodemo sadly repeats itself throughout history. Many people have a great concept
- 1:52:02of morality, they strive to try to live better possible, but when it
- 1:52:08comes to the things of the spirit, they do not understand, that is,
- 1:52:13it is a common feature really of many religious, that total misunderstanding before
- 1:52:18the things of God and Paul. Indeed, in Corinth, he tells us
- 1:52:20clearly. He who does not know the spirit, of course, does not
- 1:52:24understand the things of the spirit. He who does not have the spirit cannot
- 1:52:27discern what the things of God are. And that is the tragedy of religion,
- 1:52:30which is often the last to really understand what this is all about,
- 1:52:35and finally, in order to experience that new birth, many people will surely
- 1:52:43be thinking. Some of them listen like that and say well, more or
- 1:52:45less they form their idea. Others will understand what we are talking about and
- 1:52:53others will surely wonder and I need a new start in my life. We
- 1:52:59all have the feeling that a beginning, but in depth I need a change.
- 1:53:04There I feel empty or empty I feel, I feel bad about myself
- 1:53:12for a long time. I think it needs an existential doubt, which is
- 1:53:17very deep, and I think that' s the point at which a person
- 1:53:21can stand on the threshold of an experience of change, of being able to
- 1:53:29experience the new birth. But for that Jesus also taught us that Jesus said
- 1:53:34that he who believes in me has eternal life and one thinks that he will
- 1:53:42pay something in return. This is the key to the entrance to that new
- 1:53:48birth. Perhaps, indeed, the key is, as it comes later in
- 1:53:54the well- known words of escape from John Can Three when he explains what
- 1:53:59he means. Indeed, then this experience, how it is found, how
- 1:54:03it comes to that new birth. And Jesus explains it without any doubt.
- 1:54:10It is then to nicodemo itself it is to believe. It is by believing
- 1:54:15that we really have that life, it is faith that produces, it is
- 1:54:19immense miracle, that it is the new birth, without a doubt, the
- 1:54:25most extraordinary experience that we can live in this life. It' s something
- 1:54:30unique and inexplicable and what we have to believe. He does not clearly say
- 1:54:34Jesus who believes in the son, in the son of God, that it
- 1:54:38is the confession that Jesus makes of himself who is really about faith in Christ,
- 1:54:44to believe in him that brings about the new birth. And there really,
- 1:54:49to what extent clear is faith that instrument, in that incomprehensible love of
- 1:54:55God that has loved us in such a way, that it has sent to
- 1:54:59its child the world that produces that miracle that is the supper for which,
- 1:55:05believing in Christ, Jesus, we not only have a hope, a life,
- 1:55:11but we have a new birth. We know a whole new life,
- 1:55:15the life that comes from above the sky, a different and different life in
- 1:55:20everything as much in the expedition. It' s an eternal life. Jesus
- 1:55:27gives no life other than eternal and if not, also in quality, the
- 1:55:30character of that life is totally different. It is not this life, with
- 1:55:34its prolonged frustrations in a continuous way, but it is a different life,
- 1:55:42it is a different life, it is a better life And that is where
- 1:55:45the Christian experience becomes no longer attractive, but totally captivating, That is,
- 1:55:53because it is truly the life one seeks, the one that finds in no
- 1:55:57other way that Jesus speaks to us or or or we are going to have
- 1:56:00believing in him through his spirit, the spirit of God. I believe that
- 1:56:04this is a totally decisive explanation, as I do not know in the words
- 1:56:12of José de Segovia. Joseph already, at the end of this interview,
- 1:56:21remembered books such as Charles Colson' s. Charles Colson, that man who
- 1:56:28wrote after being involved in the Watergate case and was one of the architects when
- 1:56:34in prison he experienced what he called the new birth and wrote the book in
- 1:56:40I was born again exactly title the wonderful book, of which Cols is being
- 1:56:45remembered right now even though he is no longer with us, did not seem
- 1:56:50anymore with his master. He, however, had a tremendous experience in prison
- 1:56:55the present root of the work of cse Lewis, The Sir Twist. He
- 1:56:59read his famous introductory book Christianity. I was in jail because of the Watergate
- 1:57:03scandal. He was perhaps one of the main architects of Nixon' s strategy
- 1:57:10of listening to the opposition party and was, without a doubt, also the
- 1:57:16one who suffered one of the biggest penalties in the Watercate case, and this
- 1:57:23changed his life in such a way that he then created an entire prison CELLOSIP
- 1:57:30community dedicated to the care of people in prisons. He really dedicated his whole
- 1:57:34life to that experience that had had him at birth, could know others also
- 1:57:40who are in prison and who felt from that moment on such an identification with
- 1:57:45them. Of course later, the same having been imprisoned that his whole life
- 1:57:54was let' s say a reminder of those in prison. As Jesus himself
- 1:57:57told us to remember them so well as to be a result of enoonment that
- 1:58:03it was a witness in his book. Yes, an interesting mention that follows
- 1:58:08from that, not only his own experience with that published book, of his
- 1:58:12experience of change, of conversion to Christ, experiencing that inner crisis, of
- 1:58:19change, recognizing his personal sin and recognizing God' s favor and love for
- 1:58:25him and discovering through the reading of Louis and then the word of the new
- 1:58:30Testament, recognizing his need for Christ, but then also opening up that ministry
- 1:58:35in the prisons that has been so fruitful. And so I was listening the
- 1:58:42other day Julio García Cellorio, who is the coordinator of this ministry in Spain,
- 1:58:46that of the entire population resource, there are thousands of pastoral agents and
- 1:58:53hundreds of people who know Christ. In that situation of extreme difficulty that is
- 1:58:59book deprivation, truth and notice how one thing leads the other. Right.
- 1:59:02Yes, the most evident, visible, patent, not very manifest fruits of
- 1:59:06this incomprehensible experience that book tells us about and that you are experiencing so much
- 1:59:15in prison. It is perhaps little known to many people, the number of
- 1:59:19people who come to faith in prison, even in the case of the United
- 1:59:24States, where the Colson Ministry was born people who are waiting for capital punishment.
- 1:59:28In some of the States where the death penalty still exists, there are
- 1:59:32a very high number of those who are executed who bear witness to a conversion
- 1:59:39experience at the end of their lives before being executed, you really see how
- 1:59:45the person who often finds himself in such a radical need as that, not
- 1:59:53as the one who is deprived of freedom, really becomes aware of his need
- 2:00:00and, in this case, of his spiritual death, because the then birth.
- 2:00:02In short, as Paul says, they write to the Ephesians. Of
- 2:00:05course what it presupposes is that we are dead, spiritually dead, not weak,
- 2:00:11sick, needy, not dead, because it is a life that comes
- 2:00:15from where there is no equal, that has created the spirit, the life
- 2:00:20and the world from what was not. God, too, by his spirit,
- 2:00:24produces a spiritual life that was not there. It is not a spark
- 2:00:27that simply increases and makes it the strongest flame. It is not that it
- 2:00:31puts life where there is not, that is, where there is death,
- 2:00:35indifference, coldness and who has not experienced that in life, truth, that
- 2:00:40coldness, that indifference, listening to these things from God and sounding to him
- 2:00:45like foreign battles of ancient peoples, that is to say that they do not
- 2:00:47tell him anything, that is, the spiritual indifference that we can feel is
- 2:00:55in that deep evil of that tragedy that only that miracle. That new work
- 2:00:59of the spirit seems to suddenly one to understand suddenly realizes that it speaks of
- 2:01:02you this, that it is your own need, that you are lost.
- 2:01:06In short, and then they are circumstances in which we arrive incomprehensively at that
- 2:01:15consciousness that changes our whole life. That' s interesting. What an interesting
- 2:01:18reflection, because I think, friends, that with this public reflection of reincarnation
- 2:01:28or new birth, I think the difference between one thing and another, the
- 2:01:31importance of the new birth, has become more than clear. How can we
- 2:01:34come to be born again and resurrect from that spiritual death we suffer and how
- 2:01:42can we resurrect to a new and good life? I believe that the reflections
- 2:01:47of the journalist José de Es Segoviano give us a lot of light. Joseph,
- 2:01:54dear, friend, I really appreciate your appearance again. I' m
- 2:01:58always delighted to stop you for our train. Thanks for a hug, buddy
- 2:02:00See you all the time. Your your t is difficult, if sometimes you

- 2:06:05radiation such life your plan or saint and with your Dutch are my or that
- 2:06:39children or that children you travel on the train of life. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:07:17we are already in direct line with our friend, the shepherdess. He
- 2:07:21' s a Quintara. She is a pastor in the City of Madrid,
- 2:07:25of the Christian Assembly Church and is also a woman who takes care of women
- 2:07:32' s issues, who cares about the issue. She is also the coordinator
- 2:07:41and adviser on women' s issues of the Evangelical Council of Madrid. She
- 2:07:46is also a philologist and, among other things, good because right now she
- 2:07:53is the coordinator and promoter and founder of the Seneca platform for women' s
- 2:08:01equality. And let' s talk about this a little bit and I'
- 2:08:05ll welcome you. Good morning, Blue, Good morning, July, how
- 2:08:09well I am very happy to wear Blue, Well you are always so anxious
- 2:08:15and concerned about the well- being of women and also about putting women in
- 2:08:20value, in their right perspective from all walks of life, even within the
- 2:08:26Christian evangelical environment, because women are also often marginalized, rather ignored, even
- 2:08:33in Christian settings. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Undoubtedly,
- 2:08:39man is sad, but it is so and I think it is good
- 2:08:45that it comes from a long tradition, from a series of stereotypes or roles
- 2:08:50that also in the Church. In that sense, I believe that it has
- 2:08:52been negatively influenced by a culture that is good macho, is that I cannot
- 2:09:01say the word no, and I believe that that is so deep- rooted
- 2:09:05since man sees me refer to genesis peco this machoism, this inequality is a
- 2:09:11consequence of those origins of that separation from man with God is another consequence of
- 2:09:18sin and the church, for yes, according to what epoch he has been
- 2:09:22allowed to pervade by this. And well, if we have inequalities, it
- 2:09:31becomes invisible and is not given perhaps the place it should have and the place
- 2:09:37that Jesus gave it. In short, yes, yes, it is and
- 2:09:41definitely is curious, because the scope in the world Christian movement, women are
- 2:09:50vastly majority, much more than men. Yes, in the churches there are
- 2:09:56those who pioneered this, like Dr John Gicho who when against all odds and
- 2:10:03against culture, also an oriental culture, also very patriarchal in South Korea,
- 2:10:09for he realized that those who were really going to push all the projects of
- 2:10:16his community, the community of thousands of people who were growing amazingly were women,
- 2:10:22and this caused a real conflict. True indeed, and it is that
- 2:10:31if we did a good study, I believe that it has been done that
- 2:10:35most congregations, in the majority and that is, are more women than men,
- 2:10:37although already by statistics in men, in the world there are more women
- 2:10:41than men, but in the churches it happens, this phenomenon occurs and it
- 2:10:46must be recognized that women, because they have been there and they could have
- 2:10:52tremendous potential. I believe if the pioneering work of evangelization were made more room
- 2:10:58for it, I really think it would go a little further. No,
- 2:11:03and that makes me read it in MáximoÁlvarez commented by doing his evangelism studies
- 2:11:11that if that back was given to the woman, that evangelization would advance in
- 2:11:16a tremendous way. So, well, here we go. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:11:22the truth is. Now we find very pendular movements in today' s
- 2:11:26society and sometimes it is radical feminism that is controlled by certain lobis. Yes,
- 2:11:35of course, then, but it' s funny and in this you
- 2:11:41can explain to me a little blue, that the feminist movement led it Christian
- 2:11:46women. Right, right, right, right, look at the whole idea
- 2:11:50with this whole platform. Well, I' ve been working on this concern
- 2:11:54for many years now, not and yes, on all of these issues of
- 2:11:58helping women and especially recently on the issue of gender- based violence. But
- 2:12:03if we go to the 19th century, we find some movements, especially in
- 2:12:11New York, in the United States. In the wake of all the Protestant
- 2:12:18revival that arises from all those who fled or left Europe to America New England,
- 2:12:28very very movements of faith arise, a faith rooted strong practice And from
- 2:12:35here in the 19th century, some movements arise. Women were leading movements like
- 2:12:41abolitionism, leading anti- racist movements, but they realized that, in the
- 2:12:54midst of all this, they had no rights, to say that the feminist
- 2:13:00movement in the United States quickly consolidated itself linked to these Protestant reform movements and,
- 2:13:07above all, because Protestant principles promoted that the reading of the word,
- 2:13:15the individual interpretation of sacred texts, the access of women to basic levels of
- 2:13:20education, all these are Protestant principles emanating from the word of the Bible.
- 2:13:26Then what happened. Women are beginning to form, high schools, women'
- 2:13:31s training schools are beginning to emerge, and they are the ones who are,
- 2:13:37especially women pastors in the streets fighting for rights, as I said,
- 2:13:43anti- slavery, anti- racist, until they realize that they themselves are
- 2:13:50not being recognized. They are forbidden to enter many places, meetings, etcetera.
- 2:13:56They' re not given a voice. They' re annulled as far
- 2:14:00as getting married, losing their identity, they didn' t have the right
- 2:14:03to vote. And all this brings these women together in what is called Bueno,
- 2:14:09in an evangelical chapel, Methodist Protestant, in New York, in a
- 2:14:13village a little village called Seneca Folfs. And here comes the first feminist movement
- 2:14:22in history. Let' s say officially they make a statement of feelings that
- 2:14:28is called the first written manifestation, the first manifest written in one thousand eight
- 2:14:33hundred forty- eight. And of course there are men and women here.
- 2:14:35It was about a hundred people, thirty- two men and sixty- eight
- 2:14:41women who signed and all based on Bible texts. God has created man and
- 2:14:48woman in his image and likeness. The woman has the same rights and we
- 2:14:52offend God that is, that is all you can look at now with Google
- 2:14:58and see how you were in Bible principles. Then I wanted to rescue this.
- 2:15:03Julio I wanted to rescue this movement for the rights of the women you
- 2:15:09see, so much havoc that there is in terms of education, poverty,
- 2:15:13trafficking, sexual slavery, how women are in society and sometimes in the church.
- 2:15:20I didn' t want to rescue this movement because I think it'
- 2:15:24s biblical. I think we have a God who is not a sexist and
- 2:15:28we have our greatest referent, who was Jesus in his treatment of women.
- 2:15:31So, indeed, senecafol the 19th century. There it really is, and
- 2:15:37no one rescues it from us. These radical, feminist movements that have probably
- 2:15:43done things. Of course I do, but I certainly don' t identify
- 2:15:50with this radicality. And this is above all that they aggressively oppose the man
- 2:15:54and the woman and senecafal their movement of men together with women, and hence
- 2:16:01the name will be enraged. I know you rescue how interesting. Yeah,
- 2:16:05yeah, yeah, yeah, there' s a lot more details already than
- 2:16:09well, we' ll be counting them little by little, but I think
- 2:16:13we have to rescue him, just like sometimes I say we' ve been
- 2:16:15robbed of the Iris bow. You know what I mean. Yes, well,
- 2:16:18those principles are there in the Bible, in the Bible. It is
- 2:16:22the biblical perspective that I want to rescue and that we do not have fear
- 2:16:28in that sense, because sometimes, ah of course, we lobis do not
- 2:16:31have, has nothing to do with it This is a movement of Christian evangelical
- 2:16:35inspiration. That' s why we' ve been demanding the wage gap because
- 2:16:43we' re demanding democratic justice for women. That is really a scandal,
- 2:16:52not a song, a scandal of unjustifiable inferiority from all points of view.
- 2:17:01That would be and many more things, But it is curious that the feminist
- 2:17:07movement leads it, it is driven by Protestant Christian women in the world and,
- 2:17:15in addition, they are advocates of life, that is, they are
- 2:17:18not abortionists. It also means this curious and now it' s the other
- 2:17:22way around. I mean, now you' re a peck. If you
- 2:17:26say you want to defend life, you' re a clearing, an anachronistic
- 2:17:31or an ultra petulant. I do not know what if, man, we,
- 2:17:37as obviously, if we say that we are of Christian, evangelical inspiration
- 2:17:43and that in emanating from the word of God, equality and all this in
- 2:17:48saying is by identifying ourselves with the biblical perspective, we are forbidden. That
- 2:17:52is to say, I firmly believe not that the human being already begins in
- 2:18:01the same conception. There is already a human life to be taken care of.
- 2:18:05Not now it' s the same way in our manifesto. There is
- 2:18:11one point, because we have a manifesto that is good, we will publish
- 2:18:16it, no, but we must protect motherhood more. We' re forbidden.
- 2:18:22But motherhood, in what sense to give more facilities to women, to
- 2:18:28help the co- responsibility of men and women. The man has as much
- 2:18:33value as the woman. The woman as much as the man. With regard
- 2:18:37to paternity, which is very important, also family reconciliation, that is to
- 2:18:43say, we have to strengthen it. I think we need to work together
- 2:18:46so that the laws can empower this motherhood, help protect it and reconcile it
- 2:18:54with the family. There are times when with today' s life, which
- 2:18:58I see it, a woman works at the end of the month, and
- 2:19:03where it really is to give the place, to motherhood, to the family,
- 2:19:07to the children, to say that from the beginning we also want to
- 2:19:11promote life, protection and motherhood, help and family reconciliation. So there we
- 2:19:18are, of course, with it. Sure. Sure, of course,
- 2:19:22we care about the well- being of women, really, and there'
- 2:19:28s a lot of field. It is curious that many parts of the world
- 2:19:31are unaware of this movement of women, of the feminist movement, of Christian
- 2:19:39inspiration, which defends the rights of women, as you are doing here in
- 2:19:41Spain, and you are the driving force behind this project, to which many
- 2:19:48of us have supported because we believe in this absolutely. A lot of people
- 2:19:52don' t know about this. In the world there is a very relevant
- 2:19:54movement of feminism not manipulated by the progressive left, this one that olovi GTBI.
- 2:20:03And all that is clear if we go from the obis, the lobis,
- 2:20:07because here things are naturalized. Not really, yes, I think we
- 2:20:13' ll see, I think all this has been taken away. The movement,
- 2:20:16this radical is reaching some extremes, and almost sometimes, because they border
- 2:20:22on I don' t know. If it seems ridiculous and so exaggerated that
- 2:20:31good. And yes, we are going to see myself personally, I do
- 2:20:35believe, and I think it is clear that there is lobis behind it,
- 2:20:41there is political manipulation, there are political interests. What I want, then,
- 2:20:46is for us to be as a movement that promotes equality and the rights
- 2:20:50of women and girls, that we are with that independence, independence because to
- 2:20:54us who supports us is the word we say that I do not marry,
- 2:21:05we are not going to identify with any political party. We do not know
- 2:21:09that this is a delicate subject, but I say it freely, which is
- 2:21:13my personal opinion as believers, because there is our conscience, to know truth
- 2:21:22with whom we can identify with whom, no, perhaps one of this party,
- 2:21:26has values, etc. But senecafaz. What it intends is, of
- 2:21:30course, to separate itself in this sense from any political movement that tries to
- 2:21:39encase us or trap us in that sense. But I do believe that there
- 2:21:43is a great opposition, that there is manipulation there and I think that is
- 2:21:48why it is part of the initiative to pull this movement out. That'
- 2:21:50s why they don' t box us in any of them They don'
- 2:22:00t cross us off as fake religious prudes. No, this is what Jesus
- 2:22:01defended. This is what God clearly says in Genesis, and inequality is a
- 2:22:07consequence of sin, like so many others, as God said, the man
- 2:22:13will rule over you to laugh in pain, but to man he said you
- 2:22:18will earn the bread with the sweat of your forehead the earth will be hostile
- 2:22:24to you and that are consequences that we have. For any consequence of sin,
- 2:22:28we have to fight, although we have to go to the root.
- 2:22:33That the root we know that, that is, the cure of all this,
- 2:22:35what Christ is the answer of Jesus. But until this is incarnate,
- 2:22:43we have to fight for justice in all these areas. My personal burden is
- 2:22:48this in this sense, among the statements and says as women in Jesus we
- 2:22:54identify with the original feminism of Christian roots promoted by evangelical women, the result
- 2:23:01of which was the declaration of Senecatholls in one thousand eight hundred forty- eight,
- 2:23:05and which promoted the education of women, the legality of higher education,
- 2:23:09female suffrage, the fight against slavery and racism and other civil rights, when
- 2:23:15others did not exactly, when in that sense, when no one did.
- 2:23:22That' s why nobody did it. It means that now it looks like
- 2:23:24we' re caught up. No, but in fact, nothing is.
- 2:23:28That' s what I want to claim, not that if we go to
- 2:23:33history, this is recorded, we' re going to search any history book,
- 2:23:39I say in Google and you' ll see all the information there is
- 2:23:43about I really believe that this was the real revival, a really biblical revival
- 2:23:50leads us, that is, to a transformation of lives, to a transformation
- 2:23:54of society. I think it was such that I wish it would happen again.
- 2:23:58True, we can reach the laws, the politicians, the sayings.
- 2:24:03Here there was at this moment of Senecafas, a transformation of society that touched,
- 2:24:09because he got exactly the female suffrage. Everything you' ve said.
- 2:24:13Slavery was abolished in many places, that is, it was a tremendous advance
- 2:24:18for pioneer Christians in advances in social reform, and I think that is very
- 2:24:24important. That is the consequence of a true conversion or of a true flood.
- 2:24:31More than shapes or more than noises or more than you don' t
- 2:24:35understand. That stays there, but this was a real revival and we were
- 2:24:41pioneers, of course. Besides, there were women. For the first time,
- 2:24:46he was also a pioneer in entering, that is, prostitution, removing
- 2:24:50women from prostitution, as was Lydia Finney and others who entered the prison,
- 2:24:56helping women in prison who had their rights. And then that education, which
- 2:25:01is very important, and here I do allow you to point out that of
- 2:25:05all this movement and education the higher schools for women, from here came Alice
- 2:25:11Gordon Wollik, who was the first woman she came to Spain as a missionary
- 2:25:16of all this movement, came to Santander with her husband in one eight hundred
- 2:25:24seventy out there and created the first schools of women and the first three university
- 2:25:31students for free, which she formed because women could not go to university at
- 2:25:33that time, neither in Spain nor in many places. It was Alice Gordon
- 2:25:37Wollik, a higher education movement and she founded the International Institute of Women at
- 2:25:46Miguel Angel Street in Madrid. So it' s exciting July what' s
- 2:25:52there that we have to rescue. Yeah, sure, I love how you
- 2:25:56work it, how you focus it. Acent, happy for this initiative and
- 2:26:01I really think we' re with you because look. I personally am a
- 2:26:07fan of women, because yes, I have seen it throughout my earliest conversion
- 2:26:11and I have seen and clear there are misinterpretations about the subject of women in
- 2:26:18the Church. Of course and this idea of equals no more and no less
- 2:26:26so effectively nor fights, nor fights between both sexes at all, if it
- 2:26:30is anything other than doing radical feminism or putting ourselves on. And no,
- 2:26:33no, it' s not like that. On the contrary, we don
- 2:26:37' t need each other. This is a struggle of comrades, brothers and
- 2:26:41sisters, side by side. Of course we are partners in this project of
- 2:26:43life, but because it will benefit men and women, society, our children.
- 2:26:50It' s everyone' s project. And I think so, that
- 2:26:52we have to go ahead and I am very grateful for the support that I
- 2:26:58did not expect so quickly from many pastors, for so- called pastors too,
- 2:27:03but in this case it is important that the male be there. No
- 2:27:07and so, positive answers, Julio. So yes, that' s what
- 2:27:11gave me as the backup. Not to go forward. I feel supported and
- 2:27:16it is very important to me this is not an isolated or isolated white shooters.
- 2:27:22No, no, no, no, it' s just that I
- 2:27:24thank you very much too and with pleasure Jesus. Well, the paradigm of
- 2:27:30many things Jesus. In fact, Jesus had a lot of women following him
- 2:27:33who were disciples of him and who went everywhere with him. But Jesus'
- 2:27:39encounter with the Samaritan woman is paradigmatic, because it breaks all the social standards
- 2:27:46of the time Jesus, all, all. And indeed, and that is
- 2:27:54the claim. Well or the woman who is found in adultery, when the
- 2:27:58woman was, because the hostile OPA was death. But Jesus raises his head
- 2:28:05and says whoever is free of sins, let him throw himself at her.
- 2:28:11And because of this marginalization of the woman, and Jesus is always claimed for
- 2:28:16his mercy, for his compassion, for his tenderness and for the truth of
- 2:28:22things he also claims to human beings, to the weakest, they put them
- 2:28:26in their proper place, not effectively. Indeed, I believe that the gospel
- 2:28:33of Jesus always goes to the oppressed, to help, the oppressed, the
- 2:28:37weak and in this sense, the women were at that time you know that
- 2:28:43they counted, because as a slave, they no longer had any kind of
- 2:28:46right. And here I see Jesus breaking the schemes. I mean, maybe
- 2:28:50he didn' t say any feminist sermon we' re going to say,
- 2:28:56but with his actions he did, he dignified the woman. Come on,
- 2:29:01there' s so many he cured, he touched, he healed, the
- 2:29:03one he cried cleaning with his hair. That was breaking up and asking for
- 2:29:09forgiveness. That was a tremendously breaker. And then, how to the first
- 2:29:13woman who gives the message of the risen Jesus, for not also Mary Magdalene,
- 2:29:20the first tremendous woman when the testimony of a woman you do not know
- 2:29:26was not legal, was not considered true. They were worthless, for he
- 2:29:31broke the schemes and, as he always did to us, a nod and
- 2:29:35the women said that with his acts he proved it, they were disciples,
- 2:29:39they listened to her at her feet, she taught them. This was totally
- 2:29:43breaker. Julio. What happens is that we have to get into the context
- 2:29:46of that time so that we really see how much he dignified, restored dignity
- 2:29:52to the woman, who has been stolen from us not so long in this
- 2:29:58diabolical way. Let' s say yes, and it' s curious,
- 2:30:03because women are the prototype of competitive, women' s, feminist movement,
- 2:30:09movement of certain, well, the most well- known feminist movement today,
- 2:30:13radical feminism, which is left feminism in general, is fundamentally that he puts
- 2:30:22men. To the woman really the choir against the man and masculinizes the exact
- 2:30:26woman. It' s funny. Neither the man is confronted with the woman,
- 2:30:31nor the woman must be confronted with the man. That is another of
- 2:30:35the issues, another of the points that we claim and that we make clear
- 2:30:41in our manifesto, that is, that women do not want to be men,
- 2:30:46is that all we want is to enhance our role as women and I
- 2:30:54want that to be very clear, because we do not want to be men.
- 2:30:56We don' t want that and I think where better than through the
- 2:31:01image of Jesus, not in that encounter with him. That' s where
- 2:31:07we can all enhance. We must realize our femininity. And man must regain
- 2:31:11his place, because I believe that all this radical feminism has also affected men
- 2:31:16and I believe that there is a kind of blurred identity in one and the
- 2:31:24other. And this is very dangerous to say I believe that God gives us
- 2:31:30a clear identity as men and as women, and we must preserve it as
- 2:31:35the fruit of creation, of God' s design. But it' s
- 2:31:37like this whole movement is coming too The man is there He' s been
- 2:31:46touched He' s got to get back. I' m not saying that
- 2:31:50in traditional roles because I think that man has perhaps turned to other things and
- 2:31:54failed to play his role as a man. He' s got to get
- 2:31:58his identity back. I also believe that men and women must be placed in
- 2:32:03the place that God gave us and seek and seek that direction to be each
- 2:32:09one in our place, in the most important family without each other. It
- 2:32:15is not true, because it is, as someone has said in humor,
- 2:32:18that men today there are many cases, apart from the energies, these savages
- 2:32:22who deserve all our contempt and that justice relentlessly falls upon them that not only
- 2:32:30abuse and without good murder. This is intolerable. We have all the living
- 2:32:37forces of society, we have to be acting against this, but create a
- 2:32:41crusade so that this decreases to the point zero, which will be difficult.
- 2:32:48But, but really, the man himself in general is more confused than to
- 2:32:54give on mother' s day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Men like
- 2:32:58that are and that' s dangerous, that is, look, when you
- 2:33:03take away your identity and I think that there in a child just the same
- 2:33:07from a young age, there begins a tremendous problem. We need to know
- 2:33:13who we are, where we are, what our role is, ours is
- 2:33:20very important and there the attack is coming, which is also an attack on
- 2:33:22the family and then I think it is to get everyone back to our place.
- 2:33:28Neither machismos nor feminisms should exist, but unfortunately there is one we want,
- 2:33:35as I said, to return to that design. It' s original
- 2:33:41design that I' m telling you, in the 19th century it was the
- 2:33:43one that we pioneered. So, and of course, we don' t
- 2:33:48want to be men and we don' t want to face the sexes,
- 2:33:52that' s something else. We want to repeat again, work together and
- 2:33:56not face the sexes, because that' s where you' re wasting a
- 2:34:01lot of time. You know, the subject is being diverted to a sex
- 2:34:03war, if not that. And then you' ve also touched a little
- 2:34:07bit on the issue of violence against women, which is a reality that exists,
- 2:34:13which is there to say is that forty- six women in what we
- 2:34:18' ve been doing for the year is hard and but simply saying that violence
- 2:34:24generates is a consequence of inequality, which if you consider women, an object,
- 2:34:28a sexual object, it' s inferior to you. Hence this issue,
- 2:34:35which is the inequality of machismo that leads to great extremes, leads to
- 2:34:41violence, leads to murder, leads to aggression. Okay, then. We
- 2:34:46have to work there too, but I think you know where there' s
- 2:34:50more to work is in education. For me, pastoral care is fundamental to
- 2:34:54families. I see that we have to tell myself also as a pastor,
- 2:34:58to influence the pastoral care of the family, to educate as children, to
- 2:35:05help parents, because I see that they have a challenge. I already have
- 2:35:07grandchildren, I see my children and what a challenge our children have. With
- 2:35:13our grandchildren we still have to see, but I think that influencing there we
- 2:35:18have a lot to contribute to families. So I think that this is where
- 2:35:24we have to get in the way and from the churches promote equality. Since
- 2:35:31little ones, in Sunday schools, at home, sometimes they say that the
- 2:35:35church, of course, but from home they see my dad and my mom
- 2:35:39how they are treated. As you know, the equality there is, what
- 2:35:46you see there, is what the children are going to manifest. So we
- 2:35:50have to get on with it, be an example, and in the churches
- 2:35:54as well, yes. Women have to be and are in some cases as
- 2:35:58involved as men in all ecclesiological projects because it is not a lower value.
- 2:36:07They are equal conditions, but this we do not have to ignore and I
- 2:36:13would also like to finally put in value that, speaking of the houses of
- 2:36:20aid for evil women, I remember that you and together with a team,
- 2:36:26were pioneers of projects of shelters for battered women when there were very few in
- 2:36:33Spain, Yes, very few, but counted on the fingers of one hand.
- 2:36:37Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the issue of foster care
- 2:36:39is a problem because there are few. I mean, the state is looking
- 2:36:50forward to seeing that there too I see a possibility. You are needing us
- 2:36:56to present serious projects to you, because nothing else will supply us throughout this
- 2:37:03I now, especially work on the subject of accompaniment, which is very important,
- 2:37:09accompanying all these women who are suffering counseling and accompaniment, listening to legal
- 2:37:16advice. We also have an agreement or a lawyer' s office and spiritually
- 2:37:26there it opens to us because they need to be heard, to be believed.
- 2:37:30Hope. Yes, and there opens a tremendous door where I think we
- 2:37:35can have the answer then. Yes, ideally, there would be much more
- 2:37:41resources from the evangelical churches. It happens that this is a great challenge that
- 2:37:46means are needed. But anyway, there we are. Yes, it'
- 2:37:50s true, yes, there are some foster homes, but many more would
- 2:37:54be missing for many more. This is a plague, an epidemic that needs
- 2:37:58to be done as soon as possible and, obviously, houses is a way
- 2:38:05of safeguarding the integrity of many women. Yes, in urgent cases. Yeah,
- 2:38:07they' re necessary, really. Yes, because you give them all
- 2:38:11clear, denounce such, but you don' t know that this is another
- 2:38:16topic the best thing for back day. But once they report this, it
- 2:38:20becomes a very complicated terrain. It' s not so easy not to say
- 2:38:26this too it' s a little distorted that the woman is given everything right
- 2:38:28away. Well, there' s everything, there' s everything and sometimes
- 2:38:33it' s very complicated. No. So, in those stages where you
- 2:38:35don' t have to leave the house urgently, you lack resources. Yes,
- 2:38:41obviously, so well, one more challenge that we put on is a
- 2:38:46quintana to the project' s coordinating director or platforms in ek Fals and that
- 2:38:52has for the equality of women and girls. Then, the purpose statements and
- 2:38:58the language on their setca false website can be accessed there also on the Facebook
