Q&A: What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden

“Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.”
1 John 4:18 NLT
http://bible.com/116/1jn.4.18.nlt 

Perfect love expels fear. I am so sorry to say this but, you CANNOT love . What?😡 But I'm a Christian!  This is because once you become a Christian, your former self is destroyed, and you become a new man. The Holy Spirit now uses you to perform as Him. Wherever people go, they don't see you. This mortal body was just given to you so that you could be visible on earth. A real Christian is actually seated at the right hand of God with power. Wherever you go, people see Jesus. 
So, what really happened in the Garden of Eden? 
We all know the story of Adam and Eve. How Eve was tempted to eat the forbidden fruit by a serpent and eventually tempted Adam to do it as well. When Satan said they could define good and evil by themselves, he knew it was impossible. In the beginning, God gave us the power of rule the earth with God's guidance. And everything was fine. But Adam and Eve were deceived into thinking the could run the world on their own terms. But instead it lead to violence and corruptness. But then God decided that this power to rule with his guidance should be restored. So God sent his only Son, and decided that Satan's most powerful weapon, death, should be used fully on Him. But it wasn't more powerful than the love and goodness of God. So, 3 days later, Jesus rose from the dead, and we can now choose: 

Life or Death? Which do you prefer, comment below!

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...
