Disobedience to God can be disguised as many things. It can be disguised as speaking the truth, sacrifice to God, the word of God and love. Are you disobeying God because of some truth you discovered? Are you disobeying God disguised as offering sacrifice to God? Are you disobeying God because of some prophet or apostle’s claim of speaking the word of God? Are you disobeying God under of disguise of love in word but not in deeds?
God’s grace is entirely up to Him and there is no absolute guarantee to anyone that s/he will receive His grace. Ananias and Sapphira never had the opportunity to even regret or repent of their sins but died instantly for lying to Holy Spirit before the very man, Peter who denied the Son of God not just once but thrice. God’s grace on Peter isn’t same as to Ananias and Sapphira even though the sin of Peter is much greater than Ananias and Sapphira. Based on Scripture we can conclude that ,God gives grace to the humble, He is gracious to the one who lacks and the righteous will find grace in His sight.
Total depravity is a Protestant theological doctrine derived from the concept of original sin. It teaches that, as a consequence of the Fall, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin as a result of their fallen nature and, apart from the efficacious (irresistible) or prevenient (enabling) grace of God, is completely unable to choose by themselves to follow God, refrain from evil, or accept salvation. In this post, we will explore why this doctrine of total depravity is false.
A recent visit to one of my very close relative left me with confusion on their behavior and turned to the Bible for answers. While they insist on spending during our stay at their home who also forbid any financial assistance from us for our own stay, they quickly get grumpy for minuscule things my children do that is worth nothing. To give a comparison, they are happy to spend $200 on some gifts for my children while grumpy for a little water spent on shower or lights left on. In this post, we will explore one of the important characteristics of what the Bible calls eye-evil and how we must avoid.

While the Bible doesn’t explicitly say about cryptocurrencies, it does give us clear instructions. In this post, we will explore how cryptocurrencies cannot operate without government approvals, mostly used by criminals, a ponzi scheme driven by greed, not backed by anything and no intrinsic value on what was mined. True Christians must not be tempted by this greed but be content with what they have.
We all read in Scriptures about how Hannah made a vow and dedicated Samuel to the LORD at a very young age. While the Biblical authors narrate it in positive light, looking deeper into the law, scriptures and what Jesus taught, we can conclude Hannah was wrong to dedicate and leave young Samuel in the tabernacle.
When Jesus was explaining the times of His coming, He gave us examples for four types of His servants. In this post, we will explore evil servant, foolish servant, lazy servant and the good servant.
We are living in dangerous times and the next decade can plunge us into major battles. We should not be hypocrites who can discern the weather but not the signs of the times. In this post, we will explore the reasons why we are living in dangerous times.
What does the coming of the Son of Man really mean? There are several verses which suggest about this event happening sometime after the crucifixion of Jesus, not two thousand or more years later. Are we really missing something? Did we misunderstand what Jesus said? In this post we will explore an alternate view which also agrees with what Jesus said.
Most of the timeline we get from the book of Genesis is based on what it says. Sometimes, the actual event may sometimes contradict the timeline, indicating that the years mentioned could be wrong, possibly a typo. In this post, we will explore one such typo regarding the age of Ishmael.
Jesus Christ very clearly mentioned that the only permanent separation that can happen between a husband and a wife is through death. This view, is based on the fact that God joined them, i.e., both are His children. Jesus Christ is also not against abandoning the spouse if he or she departs from faith in Him. The only exception for not marrying is unable to reproduce or raise godly children. While not directly, but we can infer that Jesus is not against remarriage after abandonment.
A quarter of the Bible is of prophecies. While no prophecy of Scripture is a private interpretation, not all will be fulfilled. Prophecies can be conditional, superseded, delayed, recurring and established. In this post, we will explore different types of prophecies based on Scripture.
