Is God a Cosmic Vibration or the Absolute Creator?

In Hinduism God is the manifested cosmic vibration that permeates and upholds all things. You need to attune your consciousness to this force through meditation if you want to experience God. God has manifested his being through creation, and our bodies, and part of realizing God is realizing this truth in Hinduism. But is God really a force that permeates this creation and our bodies, or does He live outside of this creation? Talking about God in Hebrews 7:26, the bible says; “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.” Here the bible says that God is separate from sinners, yet God is absolute.

God is also sovereign, performing His will above the will of man. Read Ephesians 1:11 “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.” In Hinduism as well as Christianity we are co-creators with God, but in Hinduism it is man becoming God that does the creation where as in Christianity it is a divinized man creating with God, or with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of the redeemed. Man doesn’t realize his godhood, God lives inside man making him holy, and living out the plan and purposes of God through man, not in man.

While man is called to holiness, in Christianity it is never apart from the purpose and Divine counsel of God. Through sin, man rebelled against God and part of the purpose of man is to be restored to fellowship with God. This is done through accepting the free gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. When we are restored this way through being born again, we live with a new purpose and a new Master. Our battle is against sin, for which we now have a Saviour helping us, and guiding us home. The goal is not to become God, as in Hinduism, but to become like God in our character, until one day, at the resurrection we will be made fully in God’s image. This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
