Exodus 20 states that the iniquity of the fathers may reach the third and fourth generation, while Ezekiel 18 declares that a child shall not bear the iniquity of the father. Is this a contradiction? Only apparently. Scripture distinguishes between the consequences of sin, which may pass through generations, and personal moral responsibility before GOD. Understanding this distinction shows why context, language, and the Law are essential for interpreting the Bible correctly.
The doctrine of the eternal family is one of the most distinctive and compelling aspects of Latter-day Saint theology. In this study, we examine this vision with respect and openness, comparing it with the hopes found throughout the Abrahamic traditions and reflecting on the meaning of love, fidelity, and family communion within the eternal plan of GOD.
The Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas addresses some of the defining challenges of our age: artificial intelligence, human dignity, social justice, work, dialogue, and peace.

Pilgrimage: Thoughts from Cassino to Jerusalem is the story of a 3,000 kilometer journey on foot, begun without a single coin, relying solely on people’s solidarity and on Providence. More than a travel diary, it is a reflection on vocation, marked by the tension between doubt and deep theological convictions. In a direct and personal style, the author shares moments of silence, dialogue, and inner clarity, as the road itself becomes a place of prayer and transformation, leading step by step toward the Holy City.
Sūrat al-Mā’idah 5, 32 articulates one of the highest moral principles within the entire Abrahamic tradition: human life possesses such absolute value that harming even a single soul is, in the sight of GOD, as though wounding all humanity. Far from being an isolated statement, this verse is deeply rooted in the narrative of the sons of Adam and resonates with the teachings of both Jewish and Christian Scriptures.
From the Mishnah, which teaches that “whoever saves one life saves an entire world,” to the Gospel message that blesses the peacemakers, the Qur’an does not introduce a new ethic: it confirms it, renews it, and universalizes it.
Within this brief yet powerful passage, history, ethics, and revelation are woven together. Humanity’s first murder becomes the foundation for a cosmic principle: every person is a world, every life reflects the Creator, and every soul preserved sustains the order of the universe.
Thus, the verse speaks not only to believers but to the universal conscience of humankind: those who protect life participate in the divine work, while those who violate it betray the very essence of creation.
Where many seek division, this text reveals a profound meeting ground among sister faiths. By calling humankind to responsibility toward one another, the Qur’an shows that peace is not a peripheral theme but its central axis: to preserve a life is to preserve the world.

This post offers a clear map, inviting the reader to discover how study, ethics, and inner light can shape and elevate everyday life.
