The Holy Bible is a victim of misinterpretation of Scriptures. Countless Scriptures are often taken out of context, being what has caused divisions and splinter groups in Christianity. But, I suppose the most misunderstood Scripture is John 14:1-3. Jesus is often interpreted as having said what He did not say.…
What is money and how can it be acquired?
Money is regarded as most important, for survival, but not a prerequisite for survival in this world. Those with money die, just as those without money also die. There are differences between activities surrounding those dying with money and those dying without money. But, the aspect of dying remains the…
Is ED’s government showing economic progress, or a good human rights record?
The bitter armed struggle was waged against the supposedly racist government of Ian Smith. The complaint was not about the poor performance of the economy, in the country.

Validation of the cross is insignificant (2)
Why is the cross on the forefront, as far as remembering Jesus is concerned? To most Christians, the cross is a symbol of worship. To other people, the cross is portrayed as an emotional arouser to the significance of Jesus. The name of Jesus is always associated with the cross.…

One of the peculiarities of Jesus is not accepting praises from men. Humans are inspired to continue doing commendable work, only when praised by men. When not praised, humans lose hope and give up. Jesus taught His disciples to avoid righteous acts in public, to be praised by men: “Be…
The sanctions hullabaloo vs the suppressive elements
The piece of knowledge that is apparently unknown by most progressive people is that suppressive people thrive on confusion. The bond notes, command agriculture, 2% tax, and many other undesirables, as implemented by government, but affecting ordinary Zimbabweans, are blamed on sanctions. I suppose it is necessary to unpack the…
The difference between worldliness and Godliness
Jesus was from God, yet born in the flesh, like any of us. Nevertheless, there ought not to be a single person claiming not to be from God. The utterance that humans were created in God’s image dispels the idea that humans are of this world. Yet, ordinary humans cannot…
The composition of a human being
Humans are both spiritually and physically composed. Without the spirit, the physical body is lifeless. To physically survive, the spirit injects life into the physical body. While designed to complement each other, the two appear as opposed to each other, yet the spirit ought to be in control. “So I…
There is nothing popular about Christianity
“He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if…
