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…
Irresponsibility betrays the Zimbabwean Constitution—Part two
I feel sorry for the grieving MDC supporters, having lost a case that meant a lot to their destiny. In as much as ZANU PF gets blamed, most of such blame is unwarranted. Early this year I posted my own analysis on issues that ought to be taken as real…
If justice becomes injustice, where should one go for recourse?
Is there justice in Zimbabwe? This country is stuck in corruption. But that corruption is more sustained by lawyers and law-enforcement agents, than by ordinary people. Ordinarily, a lawyer is considered to be a responsible and a trusted individual—assumed to be most knowledgeable in applications of law. This assumption leads…
Was Theologian Martin Luther a hero or a villain?
Right at the pinnacle of the fall of humanity, is displayed man’s desire to be recognized as hero rather than villain: “The man said ‘The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it’” (Genesis 3:12) (NIV). Adam preferred that the wrong-doing…
Critical analysis, as compared with scepticism
Scepticism causes poverty in Third World countries. Most of the underdeveloped nations cannot be divorced from scepticism about the Bible and Christianity. They prefer remaining in primitive conditions, rather than adopt new ideas. The only way to handle scepticism is critical analysis. Humanity is divided into two categories; those taking…
