Unlike animals, human beings are privileged with superior communication skills—enabling access to information about survival solutions. Since Jesus, knowledge has been available to humanity. However, there remains one obstacle that has made such knowledge inaccessible to most people. Generally, it is assumed that the uneducated are the ones clinging to…
The hidden significance of Jonah’s voyage
To the sceptical Jewish leaders, Jesus declared: “…An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the…
Are Jerusalem and Nicaean Councils similar?
There may indeed be similarities—concerning what led to landmark decisions adopted by those respective Councils in guiding Christianity. However, the actions of both ought to be examined against the teachings of Jesus. The only reason that persuaded each of them to convene those respective Council meetings is now revealed as…
In this life no-one is independent
It seems everywhere, people are generally obsessed with desire to obtain independence. However, as long as one lives in this life, it is impossible to be independent. Many people assume that there is independence in wealth and financial security. But the phenomenon of death reveals that there is fallacy in…
Exposure of Apostles’ departure from Jesus’ truths.
Every word that Jesus spoke, represented truth. The recording of Jesus’ words in New Testament Bible is infallible. The tricky curve could arise from wrong translations, here and there. But it is easy to establish truth, when carefully analysing every word attributed to Jesus. At the end of His well-known…
All problems equal inability to confront—How Nkomo lost the game.
The meaning of the word confront, can be misleading, when assuming it to only mean standing up to fight for the common good. However, in the context being used here, the word implies being there—rather than avoiding being there—even in an abusive environment. But this may also include being able…
Power—as tool to control other people
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…
