BEYOND BODY


Love, friendship and marriage…

These are not just emotional phenomena or concepts, although they have their emotional properties or components.

The most meaningful and beneficial part of them is their practical part.

Marriage is a practical and rational decision not just an emotional and subjective one. 

You don't just choose a spouse based on your momentary feelings but based on good, wise, sensible and sound judgment. 

Some people are not ready or truly interested in building a mutually committed relationship.

They want someone who can give them money, take care of them and help them solve their own problems while they go ahead and live their lives without any responsibility towards that person. 

That’s all shades of wrong. So we must be wise. 

If a person wants is your money, attention, care, time and energy yet doesn’t reciprocate any of these things, then you need to be very careful.

If all a person brings to the proverbial marriage table is their looks, body or money but without the requisite peace, respect, character, value, virtues, ethics, care, support, truth and wholesomeness, then you must proceed with caution and wisdom.

That will be a big waste of your time. 

Do not commit or invest your life in such.

Look for real value beyond the superficial.

Physical beauty or bodily shape can be made up or enhanced but tested and trusted character, values and virtues are the real treasures with lasting value. 

A person who only pays attention to their exterior but ignores developing of their mind and refining character is not an optimal candidate for marriage.

They have their priorities all wrong. 

Have the wisdom to decipher this.

Have the courage to call it quits.

Don’t go investing your precious time, energy, attention, money and commitment wrongly. 

Don’t be deceived or carried away by the externally fine, well-shaped or well-built containers or bodies seen in society, whether they be male or female.

Understand and go for the real deal.

For they will certainly be consequences.

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

Image
  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

THE ETHICAL BEAST

Image
A beast is an animal, especially a large or dangerous four-footed one. A wild animal. A beast is also a domestic animal, especially a bovine (meaning, relating to cattle) farm animal. Basic dictionary definitions. So, cattle are beasts.  A lion is a beast.  An eagle is a beast. A serpent is a beast.  Yes, a serpent. Let’s talk about that. Especially as Christ used it as some sort of behavioral reference and exemplar for us. He pointedly said: “Be wise as the serpent.” Oops!  “But,” He continued, “be harmless as the dove.” Okies! A serpent is a large snake. A snake, as studied and described by Science (Biology), is a reptile without limbs, voice, external ears, or eyelids, that has only one functional lung, and a long, slender body.  What are some evolutionary traits of the snake?  Stay with me. I know we don’t like snakes. But we are getting somewhere.  We’re learning something.  Snakes have a keen sense of smell, temperature and touch but genera...
