The well-known adage: “Knowledge is power” is as true as ought to have been the case throughout the ages. However, what currently prevails is the suppression of knowledge. Power is in the hands of those with guns to kill. In fear of being killed, humanity submits to gun carriers—regardless of…
Why was Jesus the only begotten Son of God?
The entire humanity comprises God’s children. All were created in God’s image, as to resemble God’s likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). This grants humanity the right to declare being God’s Children. However, due to Adam’s sin, the right of anyone to call God as one’s Father was forfeited at the Garden of…
The one at Father’s side, has made God known.
Below are three renditions of Jesus’ description—through John’s writing. Was Jesus God or one of us? This remains a puzzle to the entire Christian community since time immemorial. The intention of this post is not adding more confusion. But to consider what John said, without being misled by translations, necessarily.…
Self-centredness contributing to poor communication?
The number one problem—as extremely harassing humanity in this world—is simply, poor communication. Most Pastors may agree—this is as true as descriptive of what causes marital break-ups and juvenile delinquency. Why do spouses fail to effectively listen to each other? And why do parents fail to effectively listen to their…
“Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm”
The vast amount of Christian treachery is unbelievably more than can be imagined. But I suppose what carries the crown is principally to do with the so-called “Men of God.” It seems it has become fashionable to be associated with any of the mega Churches, led by charismatic leaders, with…
What’s in a title, if not to deceive?
Titles can be viewed as indispensable, as long as one seeks approval of other people. A title encourages others to listen, before accepting your product as authentic. Without any title, denoting qualification, it may be impossible to get approval from other people. The power in a title follows the principle of…
“You shall have no other gods before me”
Only the Almighty God deserves worship. The first commandment in the Decalogue drills this law into the minds of Israelites. They were expected to avoid worshipping anything else, other than the only God of the universe. The surrounding nations had been preoccupied with worshiping idols. Even though fashionable—idolatry was not…
The significance of Jesus, as the only Bread of Life
In this presentation the aim is to attend to two thematic questions that address human behaviour on issues of life and death. The first thematic question is: “In all my toiling on this planet have I ever been happy that I lived?” The second one is: “In all my toiling…
One condition of error with Sabbath-keepers
The Seventh Day Adventists and other Sabbath-keepers are right—keeping a day of worship, according to Scriptures. This is as long as they do so without considering what other people say or do, in their environments, citing clear scriptural references. This is noble and highly commendable. However, this does not take…
The term Messiah is not necessarily God
According to Hebrew Scriptures, the term ‘Messiah’ does not necessarily refer to a member of Trinity. This term simply refers to the anointed one, expected to take humanity out of sinful slavery. Being anointed means being divinely assigned to do whatever God appoints the person concerned. For instance, David was…
