HUMAN FRAILTY



God knows our human frailties.

He only requires that we be just and treat others as we would not mind being treated.

In other words, treat others fairly and justly as you would treat yourself or like to be treated also.

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

That’s the greatest commandment of God.

No need to go offering great sacrifices or doing fancy and lofty religious ceremonies when we have not obeyed the basic laws and principles.

It is attempting to solve very complex scientific or mathematical equations without even knowing or understanding the first principles.

So again, God knows our basic human framework.

He understands the basic human need for nutrition, locomotion, exertion, restoration and copulation.

These are the things He designed for the continuity of His natural creation, namely, creatures of Nature.

Following the Fall of Man, post Creation Glory, Man has had to deal with the practical and ideological implications of his fallen human nature or state, in the order or image of the First Adam, the Earthly.

Post Redemption, his spirit is recreated in the likeness of the Second Adam, the Heavenly.

However, his soul (the faculty of his mind, will and emotions) is being progressively transformed and sanctified daily as he applies himself to spiritual growth and holistic personal development.

His body, the physical housing of his esoteric being (spirit and soul) is subject to the laws of Nature and thus to many factors from his physical environment.

What does he do as a living entity?

Eat, move, work, sleep and copulate.

That’s on the physical level.

Study Scripture and commune with the Spirit.

(“The Lord is that Spirit.”)

That’s for his spiritual life.

Rinse and repeat, on both levels.

The soul seems caught in between both worlds.

Man is a combo of humanity and spirituality.

Not necessarily a collabo of both realities.

A collabo happens when things work together towards a common goal or objective.

So, in a collabo, there is work and goals.

A combo, on the other hand, happens when things exist together in the same place or same pack and at the same time.

So, in a combo, there is space and time.

Man in himself is a combo of spirit and flesh.

Man in his relation with other human species is a collabo, interacting within the same local or global space and at the same moment or period in time.

We have human roles and responsibilities.

We have spiritual roles and responsibilities too.

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Thank you for reading.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "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...

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...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
