Faith versus science

 Science and technology work with formulas in solving their equations. It is what you see, smell, touch, and feel. Science and technology believe in experiment and research to get an answer. Believers in miracles get answers through faith in a higher power, [through supernatural means]. The antagonism between science and the miracle could not have been more obvious; science and technology assert that having belief in something you can neither see nor touch is the height of absurdity. Yet before our eyes, many have seen the belief in miracles/ magic influence people's roles in this era. To baffle the science and technology community, the religious side says indeed that belief in miracles starts with having what they call faith. And the most explicit explanation is found in the most popular, bestselling, and most translated book, the Bible. See Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Jesus Christ told his followers in the book of Mark 9:23, Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Believers counter the tech guys that they are hypocrites because they too, belief many things daily on evidence that it will deliver. For example, "the Higgs boson particle" which is a subatomic particle, was predicted in the 1960s but only observed in 2012. Let us take a simpler example: when you save for months or years to go on a cruise, do you say you must see the qualifications of the captain or the workability of the ship before you embark on the high seas? Are those who have faith in uncertain things distinct from those who believe in the unseen through religion? We live in a world we all believe there exists great power beyond our comprehension, and few believe it is only through faith we can access this power. That belief in this power does not make them foolish; because religious practice is a belief in spiritual realities which the naked eye cannot see. If you say that those who believe in such supernatural things have often been disappointed, then you make yourself laughable, because the so -called technology and science have failed uncountable times and, in worst- case scenarios, leading to death. Clairvoyant is defined as a person who claims or has indeed exhibited the ability to see or foretell future events. Many have encountered some of these people and have been firsthand witnesses to this ability. Is this also foolishness? Many of those in the tech world cannot deny that there is a power beyond explanation from a scientific point of view, how many Doctors in our hospitals have diagnosed a case only to be proved wrong on second visitation by patient; what happened is beyond their medical ability and the patient has called it a miracle, an intervention of God in nature, science and medicine. I know some medical doctors who also double as pastors; mine is one of them; he is actually an assistant pastor. These personalities in the medical profession have been able to reconcile science and technology with the miraculous without difficulty. They have seen many cases that go beyond medical explanations and laboratory experiments to know that there is something that is real even though science do not teach that and have no explanation about it. But as for us the bible have this to say Romans 1:17, For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

PASTOR BASHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

 Man Quits Church As Pastor Tells Congregation To Contribute Money For Wife. Omooba Adeleye, has joined the crew. It is no news that social media dome is a hangout for lies, malice and exaggerations in negativity against the pastor. He just fired a good one at pastor[s] using[imaginary?] one as a scapegoat. Why not? If social media attacks kills- pastors ,evangelists and other workers in the "vineyard", especially the ones in Nigeria, would have all been cut down by hails of bullets from critics like Adeleye. Should anyone bother? No, of course, after all, one way to get attention, one way to attack clergymen is to go on social media, post a story that sound outrageous and can not be verified; one that would leave us with our mouth hanging, such as the above handle from X. It is a no brainer to bastardize and portray one religious sect in bad light, in a pluralistic society like ours on social media . Many indulge in this campaign of calumny because any bad news agains...

QUEST FOR ETERNAL LIFE.[1]

  “Luke 18:18  And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Man, from a time immemorial, has always nursed a desire to live without experiencing death, expiration or stoppage of the heartbeat; if there is any price to pay in-order to live for eternity,to have a life without end, most men would certainly go for it . On the frontline would be the billionaaires and the last roll would be the poorest, who would like ti get it by hook or crook means. What comes with aging is looked at with trepidation, we try trying to stop it from coming; If we can not then it is best to hide it from sight. Is it gray hair or balding , is it growing weaker by the year? man has found the solution in transplants and wigs, workout and cardio activities. The Bible talks about the advent of old age in the book of  Ecclesiastes 12:1-6,  Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when...

Archaeology supports Balaam once lived

  John 20:29  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed   are   they that have not seen, and   yet   have believed. ARCHAEOLOGICAL evidence linked to the Biblical character Balaam can prove the people mentioned in the Bible were historical figures, a scripture expert has astonishingly claimed. According to the Bible Old Testament, Balaam was a prophet and diviner, perhaps best known for his talking donkey. It describes his exploits in the Book of Numbers, which is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible. Balaam is believed to have dwelt in the ancient lands of Mesopotamia, where Balak the king of Moab commissioned Balaam to curse the Israelites around the year 1400 BC. Professor Tom Meyer from Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California, US, told Express.co.uk: “Balaam is probably best remembered for the Biblical account of his donkey speaking to him in a human voice to stop his insane action of cursing...
