All religions have its black sheeps based on something what Jesus, the perfect man in history, said.

The enemies of God sow & plant black sheeps. Jesus referred these as 'weeds' or 'tares'.

The workers & servants of God are expected to recognize these black sheeps & attack through faith-prayers only.

The greatest temptation for the workers & servants of God is to brainstorm, identify, & implement ways to remove or root-out the black sheeps.

"No! you'll damage some good ones along with black sheeps even in such well-intentioned & well-planned processes. Just relax, chill, our God knows about those black sheeps & is in control of situation,"

Jesus said the same in some other words. "Only pray ceaselessly"

The workers & servants of God who fall for such great temptation & go-ahead in implementing ways to remove black sheeps to look cool in front of people or to get peace to their hearts do so in ignorance or immaturity.

I am really sorry that your experience in life has been predominantly with black sheeps or with immature or ignorant workers & servants of God that has led you to hate some or all religions and or the ones practicing a religion.

Praying for you all to recognize religion as NOT the enemy, but to recognize the real enemies of God & our humanity including recognition of immature or ignorant workers & servants of God.

The one common pattern of all religions is to bring us to a clear understanding of the evil inside us, which we continue denying, so that we begin:

  1. Learning to develop personal relationship with God,
  2. Practicing to depend on God, &
  3. Allowing God to operate through us in overcoming our evil & produce good lives & good works in order to mature us & our future generations.

Bible demeans women. Really?

-
Image
The charge that the Bible demeans women is a prominent and potent critique in contemporary discourse, powerfully articulated by leading secular thinkers. Figures like Dr. Richard Dawkins, in his book The God Delusion, point directly to Old Testament laws treating women as property and New Testament commands for their submission as clear evidence of the text's misogyny. Similarly, the late Dr. Christopher Hitchens frequently referred such passages to support his claim that religion is fundamentally "contemptuous of women," while neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris argues that relying on these ancient texts for moral guidance is dangerous, with the subordinate status of women serving as a prime example of how religious dogma can perpetuate social harm and inequality.  Together, their critiques frame the Bible not merely as a historical document with outdated views, but as a source of ongoing moral and social problems, focusing the debate squarely on the content and impact of its ...

How to cope with impending expiry date?

Following is a conversation thread among a group of friends.  V: bros how are you all coping with the nearing expiry date. R: nearing ‘expiry date’? I’m looking for organ donors V: Ha ha. R: V, on a serious note, the % of days that I wake up and feel old is slowly increasing - constant aches and pains don’t help either. R: And I keep thinking I should make a will one of these days before it’s too late. V: Yes man and the news of apparently health folks dying of cardiac arrest in their 40s is not helping either.  Looking for some tips to cope S: yes after u go. what if you are in hospital and funds are needed and you are not awake? M: Cope with such news or cope with heart attacks? 😬 V: Open with the impending end… looks like none of you are effected or have come to terms J: Does it really matter, V? The way I figure, may be 3 or 4 people would think of me for any period longer than a day or so after we kick the bucket, and after that, except for the inconvenience caused becau...

Accountability to One Another in Christ

-
Image
  Few years back, my understanding of accountability and judgement got mixed up. If you had asked me a question related to what I did & why I did, I'd immediately think that you were judging me. And, I'd feel vulnerable in responding openly and transparently to your question. I'll often want to know why you want to know & how you are going to use the information.  But the grace of God overflowed for me. Holy Spirit showed me how these worldly principles had been set in my heart causing my passive aggressive behaviors.  Passive aggressive behaviors are the subtle and shrewd things I did or said to smartly avoid answering difficult questions.   Then, I dug into bible to learn the principles of Christ related to accountability in a church community.   Accountability is the fact of being responsible for what I do and able to give a satisfactory reason for it, or the degree to which this happens. Several bible verses speak to the concept of accounta...
