Renewed to Honor

Note: This is a personal opinion only. -------------------- In the past many churches joined together and formed the nicene creed and since then Christianity showed some form of uniqueness and common understanding of what a Christian believe.  In short , a monotheistic religion that belives in a triune God , and Christ as the meditator between men and God because of the redemption of sins through the cross and the regeneration of life by the help of the Holy Spirit. But like all big families when they have sons that carry on the family name there are then multiple families.  Look at the instance the tribes of Jacob, 12 in all, are they all not Abraham ' s children?  Yes, yet amongst them they had so much difference.  Look at the tribe of Benjamin, they  are said to like a ravenous wolf [ Genesis 49:27 ] , quite seen in the life of King Saul, Queen Esther, Paul the apostle or the tribe of Judah,  where men like David and Solomon are. Now , in all this mann...

This post is not specific to any Church or community or organisation and so there opinion are my own based on independent study conducted. I was recently studying on Jewish Customs and marriages although i have no intention to marry a Jew at present or have any idea of conversion to Judaism. There is a lot of  similar ideas in Jesus return to Jewish marriages and this is going to be in the next post. So what is this post about? As i told earlier its slightly controversial. In Jewish marriages and community customs there are some regulations that should be followed by a non Jew in entering into Judaism.  One was the most obvious - circumcision. But there were other things of which one was this  ritual washing. This is mentioned a million times or so in the book of Leviticus. Now those who have read through the book you guys are really brave and I don't know how many coffees took you to get there. modern mikveh – schematic illustration : Wikipedia The...

From:  http://jonlotc.blogspot.com Have you not asked the question "Why are there so many different churches?" I could write about the creation of churches, and doctrinal opinions etc, but i want this to be understood by all and want to tell people what to look out for and what to look for. B asically most Churches are found on teaching of Jesus, and if you want to know about Jesus, check Wikipedia or walk into a church and ask or may be wait for my next post. Now, Jesus had done some major changes in the history of Jewish Religion and with the people there. And he had asked his disciples [means:students] (later known as apostles [means: ambassador])to spread his teachings and the good news of salvation (that means Jesus knows something to get you out of the rut of life). J esus taught principles of living (which does not include yoga) a life with a purpose and meaning, with a goal to achieve each day and a goal for life time. He had started some practices and end...

    The New Testament was written in Greek. Yup, not Arabic like I once though. I was pretty sure it was not English, as you see living in Dubai, I was able to interact with many people from Palestine, Iraq, Iran and Syria. So, I expected  some thing of Arabic nature to be the language. Well Hebrew looks a lot like Greek letters written backward. And FYI Hebrew is written from Right to Left like Arabic.       Now many have written blogs and church write ups and essays and a lot of stuff on the topic Rhema. In Wikipedia, Rhema has a session  in theology too. So, what is this post about? Nothing too dramatic, but some thoughts of the mind. You see people who translated the original Bible especially the new testament, found it difficult to express the meaning of some sentences from Greek roots to English as there were no substitutes for many word and if there were a really passiona...

And ever since in my life , Lord had been important and been feared much cause family wanted to make sure i don't fall or move away from Lord. I was taught in Sunday school , was participating in church activities. Lord had his hand to guide me and some how i found myself more complete in his love. But his was very vague. I was more church oriented. I was busy trying to be a world pleasures not realizing any importance of life and living. My childhood had few bad incidents but God lead me through it. Dad was very strict in fact i hated him then, he was caring but his care was more shown in anger and gifts. i on other hand wanted a father who would talk to me, teach me stuff and help me in stuff or some things. Mummy was there for me. in every thing she was a blessing for me. she helped me with my home work, supporting me with everything and helping me and caring for me. she taught me love and care, while dad from him i learned courage and that i should be respected and one very imp...

unfortunately ( you can take this as a warning) my mum when she was pregnant with me ( not knowing she was carrying me) had taken some medicine for some fever, but it produced bad results, and when i was born i had 2 hands and 2 feet, just like you, and was perfect, but later into life about age 1 and 1/2 i was detected with some small trouble with kidneys which led to a major operation in which case i could even have died, there was from my grand mother's younger years a prayer group at my area, mainly marthomite and ecumenical, had got on their knees , my daddy ( as i came to know recently) had been crying bitterly to Lord for me, almost all in the area i live, ( even today) say " I AM GOT BY PRAYERS" and this is my first testimony, there was a certain achen ( priest) who was said to intercede for my life, and my God heard their cries and the cries of my family and started his touch on to me. This is my story, my song, the very first note of the life he wanted me to sin...

my grandmother is a God fearing person, her dad ( my great grand father) had been involved in revival ministries and this blessing was given to all of us. her brother had taught at marthoma seminaries and some of her brothers are/were involved/initiators of many movements. but as time faded the church was established more of a building than the community that began it. But i believe that as said in Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." ( my grand mother told about her family to me " my dad had been a part of a great revival, in kallissery we organized palm leaves( olla) roofed prayer centres and they used to jump in that rejoicing and praising the Lord, i had been a part of this revival, it was the blessing that my father carried that was given to all my generations, i can proudly say that the Lord has not let any of my children or their children gone astray...

it was a blessing from Lord that i had to come here on earth leaving his bosom, but the path he had for me had a destiny, a path that he wanted me to follow so he had predestined me to a path to follow, and he never wanted my family to oppose it in anyway.

This is a close and some what edited version of my Life and How the Lord found me and not he other way around
