All forms of existence in this universe are characterized by dichotomies. There is nothing observed that does not have its opposite. The value in discerning dichotomies is found in promoting the ability to choose between life and death. The necessity of choosing between life and death can be driven by…
Believers and worshippers are not the same
A believer can be defined as one duplicating Jesus’ teachings, as having acquired spiritual deliverance. A worshipper is not a believer, but one piously committed to obeying God’s Laws. Paul confronted converts manifesting being worshippers, rather than believers. The problem translated into divisions among believers. In attempting to address that…
There is no ambiguity in Christianity
Who, in this world, is willing to take Jesus’ teaching seriously? The lip service is one thing, but the application projects another dimension. Willingness to stand by Jesus’ words, serves to test the true character of an individual. What appears to be is not always reflective of the truth. The…
The mystery of humanity unveiled
In the name of privacy, it is customary to observe affluent people living in protected homes. The greatest enemy of human beings is assumed to be other fellow humans, more than anything else.

The Bible is mysterious, and not understood by ordinary people, except the called-out ones. Even the Israelites, through Jewish writings, could not understand the…
Longsight versus short-sightedness
As early as nineteen-eighty, while Zimbabweans were celebrating the attainment of independence, the longsighted people saw disaster ahead. The principle of democracy betrayed the advantages of long-sightedness. On a dichotomous scale, advantages and disadvantages can be plotted to determine both long-sighted and short-sighted gradients. The more the country is shortsighted,…
Bifocal purposes of physical existence
A human being is spiritual, without any need for a physical body. Having been created in God’s image, human survival is sustainable without a physical body. Nothing can be said to be admirable when considering what physical humans go through in physical existence. While thousands are born each day, thousands…
