The human body, comprised of its various organs, is not life. It survives only as the spirit impinges life on it. As soon as the spirit moves out of the body the person is pronounced dead, inferring the spiritual departure from the body. The spirit comprises the real person, who…
The treachery in receiving honour
The planet Earth demands all organic material to be incorporated for decomposition, rather than anything else. This is why a dead body cannot be kept for too long, without exuding a repellent stench. How worse can a human become? The worst is when he has succumbed to death, at which…
The untold story about Jesus’ name
No other name is mentioned more than the name of Jesus in this world. Conversely, no other name is misrepresented more than Jesus’ name. If Jesus is the Son of God why is His name more dominant than His Father’s name? The treatment of Jesus was never glorious on Earth.…
The key is in the significance of being a follower.
The significance of following is different from pursuing when tolerating cutting corners. A cheetah, while pursuing its prey, does not necessarily always have to consider the rigorous tracking of the footsteps of its prey. It seeks to outdo the foot-tracks, as long as it intends to access the catch for…
The spirit must be in charge
The problems of humanity arise from allowing the flesh to take control, rather than the spirit. For instance, a miserable person under the influence of drugs cannot figure out the reason for survival. A person is as good as dead, as long as not in control of his/her body, which…
Identifying dichotomies removes confusion
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. Currently, the considered most sophisticated nations, boasting of being the most civilized, are admired for investing in…
David’s story, shadowing Jesus’ story
Just as the Old Testament shadows the New Testament fulfilment, David’s story carries Jesus’ significance. Although facilitated to be in power by God, King Saul was a result of human debauchery. Man’s wishes are always the opposite of God’s wishes. Humanity is always attracted by objects that displease God. This…
