The Christian Life, According To The Bible

The Christian life requires us who choose it, to do certain things and to avoid doing other things. And so God gives us clear instruction in the Bible about what we must do, and avoid to do.

But what must we do and avoid doing in order to live this life? Well, here’s the truth.

Firstly, through Adam’s sin, we incurred the resulting eternal death penalty. But God sent his only spiritually…

Knowing Our Spirit By Experiencing It

“Knowing”, we all agree, is a beneficial, important and joyful process. But there are some points about it that I wish to raise here. So, I start by asking the first of three questions below.

1. Knowing, how do we know anything?

We know something by using any means or method that allows us: truthful information about it, and understanding of it.

Our fine education system, naturally,…

Evidence That God Exists, Here Is It

“Evidence”, or “proof”, uncovers truth. Therefore we can use evidence to prove God’s existence for our selves.

Here are two types of evidence or proof.

A.Nonphysical or Experiential proof: proof that we gain only through mental or inner experience rather than by physical observation. And which we can not demonstrate to others because the senses can not discern it. Thus others can not…

Proof And God's Existence: Briefly

Proof And God’s Existence: Briefly

Proof of God’s existence through physical observation is what some people constantly seek.

And they deny God’s existence because they’re unable to find such proof. Yet they accept his nonexistence without being able to prove it.

And strangely, they do not seek such physical evidence in other areas of life. As they accept phenomena, partake in activities and interact with others daily…

Indifference Is The Opposite Of Love And Hate: Briefly

Indifference, love and hate

Indifference does not share any similarities with love or hate. But love and hate as qualities do share similarities which prevent them from being opposites.

While indifference as a quality unbinds us from its objects, both love and hate draw us toward their respective objects. Hence, indifference is the opposite of both love and hate, and love and hate are…

Emasculation, Some Women’s Addiction: Briefly Emasculation of some partners in a relationship is an act that some females think they can't avoid to do.

Animal Rights Activists And Their Cause Animal rights activists defend a good cause and I support them all the way; but still, I want to raise a few points in this area.

Vision-less People: I Admire Them Vision-less people, credit and admiration Vision-less persons are a strong, fearless and easy-going bunch; but we do not realize this.

Sexual Intercourse, Three Important Points

Sexual Intercourse Requirements

Sexual intercourse among humans, like most other human physical activity, commands us to meet certain requirements. We must meet these requirements if we are to practice the true and correct form of this activity.

We need to clearly identify these requirements if we are to practice true and safe sexual intercourse. This is necessary to avoid problems and diseases…

Sureness, Few Seem Sure Of Anything Anymore

Sureness disappears as doubt and uncertainty appear

Sureness about answers to the important questions of life is what people used to display not so long ago. These days, however, almost everyone is either skeptical of these answers, or indifferent to the age-old, important questions of life.

The question of marriage is a good example of this. Until recently, people were sure they knew the answer…

Random Thought Through A Diary Entry

Random thought leads to a resolution

Random thought, we all know, can originate from anywhere and can be about any topic there is. In this case I look briefly at a resolution idea which randomly came to me. It came to me as I wrote a diary entry recently.

It is a simple resolution which we can make at any time. This resolution commits us to use our time and energy, almost solely, to pursue…

Breastfeeding, A Wonderful Act

Breastfeeding is not only a necessary act, but also one of beauty and seeming joy. The baby’s need for the best nutrition there is, obviously, makes nursing him necessary. The wonderful preventative medicinal benefits available to both baby and mother also help make nursing him necessary.

Besides this, what can be more of an expression of love and a pleasing sight to behold than a mother nursing…

Aging Affects Only A Part of Us

“Aging takes its toll on all flesh”, is an accurate statement. It is as accurate when we make the same statement but replace “Aging” with “Time”. We do know that our bodily health, including brain health, can deteriorate as we grow older.

Aging and our non-physical side

We also know that our brain health affects the health and functioning of the non-bodily parts of our being. Our mental faculties…

Criminal Behaviour And Mental Illness

By Edward Fagan Criminal behaviour, its mental illness connection

Criminal behaviour, does mental illness cause some persons to practise this type of behaviour? Yes, I know some persons who commit such behaviour because of their state of mental illness.

I also know that some persons are in a constant and incurable state of mental illness. Some are mentally ill, even though a psychiatrist has…

Politics And The Welfare Or Abusive State

Briefly By Edward Fagan Politics and public assistance

Politics, according to some politicians, should not participate in any kind of welfare activity. It should, instead, stop the very rich from paying any portion of the tax burden they are carrying.

These politicians therefore aim to gradually have the lower classes pay all of the taxes collected. All this time they are trying to win the votes…

Love's Opposite Is Simply Not Hate

Love’s Opposite Is Simply Not Hate

By Edward Fagan Love’s opposite is not hate, they are too similar

Love’s opposite is not hate, even though many of us think so. At first sight, the qualities of love and hate seem to be opposites of each other. The motives behind the acts of love and hate thus seem to be opposites of each other. The acts of love and hate, and their outcomes too, also seem to be opposites of each other.

Love and…

Regional Integration And Its Possibilities

By Edward Fagan Regional integration, the good side

Regional integration can succeed among countries that are fiercely nationalistic. This is only likely to happen, however, if political union is optional for each country.

Those countries, therefore, who prefer to relinquish their sovereignty can have full integration. Those, who thus prefer not to do so, can remain sovereign independent states.
