We all know the story of the fall of man. When Adam and Eve were in the garden and they met the serpent who talked his way into letting Eve pluck a fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and had her eat it. Only Eve and the serpent were doing the talking at the time, so where was Adam?



One word that describes the fall and salvation of man

There is a word that links the fall and salvation of man. One word can describe it all. One word can be said of our story in God’s hands – of how we were separated from Him and how we can be brought back to Him again.



Don’t blame it on the Devil

We go through this life being taught in Church that ‘it’s the Devil who did this’, ‘it’s the Devil who did that’.

Geneticists say that the difference in the human DNA with a Chimp’s is just 1.82%

Imagine that, a 1.82% difference! Usually we shrug off a 1.82% right? With safeguard cleaning 99% of all germs, we still buy it (What’s 1% germ anyway!) right? What the heck could go wrong with 1.82%?



Why does Satan keep doing what he’s doing even when he knows he can’t beat God? God and philosophy

Aug 12th, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and Philosophy

I’ve always asked this question especially when I was new to my relationship with God. I’ve always thought: “Why, if God is so merciful, can’t He forgive Satan with what he’s done?” It only makes sense that an all-merciful God can forgive an all-evil person. But why isn’t it so? Why is Satan, as early [...]
