  Some Christians who have often ventured into the world of Evangelism, preaching the good news, otherwise called the gospel, might have been confronted with the titled question. This line of questioning often comes from those who have read the bible for exams purposes or on the recommendation of self branded prophet to read a particular book mostly, from the book of psalms. Jesus is not the father and the book of Isaiah is misunderstood by many.  What happened here is called METATHESIS, meaning the transposition of two words. Understanding the bible requires us to explore what the bible says about Christ the son and God the father. And most importantly, what Jesus   claims with the father. In the same bible the father is considered by Jesus as someone other than himself. He never claimed or made any ambiguous reference to the father. Jesus referred to the father more than 200 times in the bible! And over 40 times the distinction between the father and son is also ma...

  He was very restless and agitated. The man, his boss, was becoming inefficient by the day. He must prove to the organisation that he was a better hand and can take the company to higher heights, but how to do that seems to be a problem. A problem, until he met a friend, who took him to a prophet of God. One sacrifice, oblation and incantation lead to another. Later, the Boss fell ill; His absenteeism and constant ill health led him to tender his resignation and our man took over, went to his church and celebrated how God answers prayers. A man was late for an interview. on the way, he kept muttering that something will suddenly crop up to delay the boss in Jesus’ name!, claiming this job in the blood of Jesus. There are many prayers that God does not answer, even if we got our desires and we give him the credit. God is already high and lifted. We can not lift him higher with falsehood. There are many who also got their desires without praying. Most time we fall into the latter ca...

  Archiving your dream in today’s world is like passing through the eye of a needle for most youths, especially, in societies where the government does not care about the welfare of its citizen. The politicians see politics as a way to amass wealth, ‘ chop your own clean mouth’, and leave for the next politicians to take their own share of the national cake [while the poverty rate of the governed continues to grow astronomically.] So when the few who are able to make it outside politics emerge ,their story is that of hard work and grit, financial sagacity and a strict economy that only the determined can survive.  For many who admires them they cannot help, but want to hear them talk, and write about their story of rags to riches. These kinds of settings the bible alludes to as errors.  see Ecclesiastes 10:5,   there is an evil   which   I have seen under the sun, as an error   which   proceedeth from the ruler. Imagine having gone through the thi...

  The blood if one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially the Christian faith and the Judaism. And also on medical terms most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though we’re a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. it was from this one you now have others. And the most symbolic blood of all, the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others shows how significant the blood is to us. ...

  A good man is not a perfect man; the psalmist knows this but, pray when he falls let mercy visit him. Hear this again from the bible  Matthew 19:16-17;  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?  there is  none good but one,  that is , God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. There is no natural man born of a woman that qualifies before God as good, neither do our works when consider before God.  Isaiah 64:6, But we are all as an unclean  thing , and all our righteousness  are  as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. So this man viewed Jesus from the lenses of just a good man [one who is able to obey all the laws without breaking one] not as the mighty God as predicted in the book of  Isaiah 9:6,  For unto us a child is born, unt...

 The life of a wild beast is something to notice with a lot of deep thought contrasted   with the lives of humans. Let us take the life of a male lion; every male lion will kill the cobs of a lioness without hesitation just to have it own offspring from that lioness; if the lioness can hide the cobs from ravaging lion so good, but if not the cobs are killed. The lioness will have no choice than to give in to the killer lion and have its offspring. The circle continues. This is their world they do not see it as bad or evil or unfair. We as humans being do see evil and express our outrage no matter the societal status of who is perpetrating it. This shows we have something in us something like the breath of life which the creator breathes into man during the creative process, something that makes us see an event and give it a name: good evil, morally wrong, ethically wrong.   It true from our observation on earth, that evil also unleash it terror on the innocents ...

  John 1:12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,  even  to them that believe on his name:   Bible king james version. Unlike many religions, Christianity offers us a free pass for many things without without obligation to carry out ceremonial rite that to cleanse us from evil. Unlike other religion Christianity does not require us to spill our own blood as a demonstration to our God that we are devout and pious.  1 Kings 18:27-28,  And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he  is  a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey,  or  peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. Unlike other religion, Christianity and their practitioners do not fight for their God. see   Judges 6:28-31  And when the men of th...
