Jesus said in Matthew 23:4, that ministry is not about telling people what to do, but giving them the knowledge and tools that they need to do what you tell them to do. Like, it’s one pastor spent years telling me to forgive others and when I asked him how to do it because I could not do what...

I believe that the key to knowledge is justice and the path to knowledge is obedience, until you understand God’s justice, and accept it for yourself, you cannot set up healthy boundaries between yourself and others, nor can you properly interpret His code of ethics. Likewise, until you learn to...

If you ask me what the most common sin is, I would say it’s slander and wrongful accusation. I had Christians Unfriend me for “supporting terrorism “because I criticized a Christian politician for promoting Christianity on an Anti-Islamophohia website because she was indirectly suggesting the...

I used to get upset over things I could not control such as the past misdeeds of others, my normal looking face, my normal I.Q. range and my lack of physical strength, but then I realized that life is what you make of it, I can focus on the good deeds of others and not on their bad deeds, I can...

Years ago, I was having a conversation with my cousin when I was trying to deny some unpleasant facts that I didn’t want to acknowledge and my cousin warned me very sternly saying “Don’t ever, ever, ever lie to yourself.” The biggest liars that I know are not always the ones who lie to other...

The bible says those who are wise and professionally talented will associate with high quality people and not with layman’s riff raft or societal sluggards. To me this verse implies that those who gain experience and apply wise and delicately trained techniques and sacrificial skill development...

I believe that it’s essential to your religious life that you give people the benefit of the doubt, in university during my first attempt at a degree 18 years ago, a series of gossips had me banned from events in the Christian fellowship for making the public declaration that I was lazy and...

The bible says in Matthew 6:33 that if you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, than all things will be added unto you. And I notice among the religious people I know from bible studies at school, all the genuinely religious woman looked like super models and had amazing social...

My friend told me the one who lives without love would be judged without love when they die. The way I understand that is the one who lives without sympathy for others, will be judged without sympathy by God , so the cruelty God shows you is related to the cruelty you show others, for example:...

The bible says each animal that chews the cud and divides the hood is clean, and while this is not a post about kosher laws, I want you to note that it takes two qualities to qualify a kosher accessible animal and not one, scripture also says social crimes must be convicted on the testimony of...

In the bible, God is described as the Heavenly Father and Jesus made the unusual proclamation in scripture that many collaborative religious organizations and religious clergy had never even known the father. This might seem puzzling to some: Hos can somebody who has devoted their entire life to...

I’m always looking for mentors and since I avoid contact with my churches I get mentor ship help by collecting quotes and sayings from successful people and that is what I did with Jeff Bezos. I at one point, either read or heard, that when Jeff Bezos was plotting Amazon, he made sure his...

To me the beast is a symbol for secularistic idolatry where people live for pride (forehead) and indulgence (right hand) and laziness (number of his name). It is stubborn heathenism built on selfish social devices and egotistic self-attribution and anti-religious self-reliance. While the woman...

Research shows unattractive woman are more likely to cheat on their partners and attractive woman are less likely to cheat and my theory on this is that unattractive woman believe finding an attractive person can make them happy because they have not been exposed to many dating opportunities...

There was an American president in history whose mother used to quote this verse to him every day telling her son, he could be president if he kept the rule of being skillful in his work, the way I understand this verse is if your behaviour, character, conduct, mentality and industriousness are...

I believe that to be truly happy, you have to be willing to sacrifice your happiness for the welfare of others, or for your goals in life and that a person who pursues their own happiness and the expense of other people or at the expense of their goals will come out depressed and miserable. Like...

A Greek philosopher wrote about two types of happiness, one involved sensory delights such as silk feathers, beautiful pearls, attractive colours, tasty food, attractive lovers, fancy cars, luxurious homes; and soft pillows. Another involves eudaemonic happiness when is sentimental happiness...

I notice a repeating pattern among my more successful and good looking Christians which is that the more benefits they have in life, the more likely they are to doubt the things I say about my faith in God. Now all Christians believe in God, but there are different degrees of Faith and different...

The book of Ecclesiastes says Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. The way I view that verse is, to pursue every reasonable opportunity and try to maximize your chances through pluralistic multi-investing because you never know what...

There are two ways that I catch liars and identify the motives of fake people - in their poor multi tasking ability or in the priorities they reveal about themselves when they involve themselves in choices where multi tasking is required. Like my female cousin did not want to offend my male...
