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.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
