Creation or Evolution?
How did we come to exist? This is the primary question of philosophy. But philosophy does not give us correct answer but leaves a question mark in the end. The origin is a matter of belief (faith). What you believe does matter. What is your belief on our origin? Let us study about two beliefs […]
What we can learn from the rule Paul laid down in all the churches
Paul laid down the rule in all the churches in Corinthians 7:17-24. 17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? […]
Know the Holy Bible, defeat the liar, receive blessings
In Genesis 3:1, the snake said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’ This question itself was a lie and a trap. The LORD God said to Adam in Genesis 2:16, ‘You are free to eat from any tree in the garden.’, followed by only […]

Jacob (Israel) after whose name the country was named
Genesis 25 – Genesis 50 Rebekah conceived fraternal twins (Genesis 25:12). God revealed their destinies as Rebekah enquired of the LORD (“…the elder (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob)…”) (Genesis 25:22-23). Jacob means ‘supplanter’. Jacob received Isaac’s blessing instead of Esau (Genesis 27:1-40). Jacob was sent away to the house of Rebekah’s brother, Laban, fleeing […]
God speaks and He lives
Genesis 39-41 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there (Genesis 39:1).

Genesis 37:1-36 Jacob had 12 sons. The 11th son, Joseph, 17 years old, was tending the flocks with his brothers, and he brought their father a bad report about them (2). Now Israel (=Jacob) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, and he made an ornate robe for him (3). Because Jacob loved […]
