The Essence of a Real Woman

There is much talk about Biblical womanhood in the Church, which indeed an important topic. However, owing to the confusion about the subject by many people because of misinterpretation and misapplication of Scripture, this subject has become controversial and difficult to understand.  Many attribute the controversial nature of the subject of Biblical womanhood in the eyes of today's Church to the influence of feminism in the Church. While it is true that much of the controversy is owing to many women being poisoned by feminism, there are also legitimate genuine concerns about certain purported teachings in the Church on Biblical womanhood. Such teachings that involve a perversion of Scripture that is being used to oppress women, which is a concern that warrants discussion. The use of Scripture of oppress people, not just women, is a very real concern.  All discussion on Biblical womanhood must address the fundamental question: what is a real woman? A real woman is one who...

The Belief in "Rights" Itself for any Human being is the manifestation of Disobedience to God, and the Usurption of His Dominion, Authority and Sovereignty

Many in the modern western Church are unstable and ignorant people who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). How do I know? From all the doctrines and arguments that people in the modern western Church make which result in theology does not glorify God. This is all the manifestation of rebellion against God. Such is the manifested in the belief in "rights" for any human being. We are such good respecters of persons. We tend to be excuse the sin of those who we think are 'good', simply because of our high regard for them, and as a hard as a stone towards people who are bad, and who may well be truly evil, and diabolical. However, our hatred for such people is usually out of a fleshly, worldly and earthly disregard for such people. God is not like us. He is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11; Acts 10:34). It is from this human respect for persons, as opposed to true justice which can only come from God, that the belief in "rights...

The spirit of Mammon wages a War against God through Debt, taking those under him captive

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). In the midst of all theological debates about the mystery of Christ and His salvation, one thing that most forget is that we were created to serve God and enjoy Him. Instead of asking why should God save anyone, the question that should be asked what glorifies God for God created all things for His glory, and His alone : For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him ( Colossians 1:16).  The question that should be asked is what is it that glorifies God and how can one seek to glorify God, not why does He allow people to suffer, what is God like, or why should he saved anyone. He does all things for His glory, and His alone...

Why the world hates the poor (2): Reminder of their emptiness which comes from not seeking God

Another reason the world hates the poor is that the poor remind them of their emptiness without God. Many people today are working so hard just to pay off their debts, in order to enjoy earthly luxury or comfort. The manner of spirit in which they act is in the spirit of anxiety to obtain their so-called "basic" earthly needs. If a person loses his job today, his family is most likely to be a high risk of facing a foreclosure, which leads to homelessness. Such is the spirit of the modern world. It is true that on one hand, anxiety comes from pride in the heart. However, the role of the devil and the spirit of mammon, who is  a real demon play cannot be neglected. They actively seek to tempt all people every day into anxiety for earthly things. You may argue that sin does not come from evil spirits, but the heart. This is true. However, there are evil spirits that do seek to tempt and enslave people to sin.  1 Corinthians 10:20 explains that food sacrifices to idols are re...
