  Why Bible starts with God mightily like a lion and end humbly like a sheep?   The Bible begins with Genesis, where God exhibits His power and authority in the grand act of creation, showcasing His mighty and sovereign nature, the same as a lion. This demonstrates His supreme power and rule over the universe.   It ends with Revelation, where Jesus Christ, who is often symbolised as the Lamb of God, represents humility, sacrifice, and the ultimate act of redemptive love. The portrayal of Jesus as a lamb highlights the fulfilment of God's plan through kindness and humility.   Thus, the arc from God's mighty creation to the humble sacrifice of Jesus encapsulates the full spectrum of His character and His plan for humanity—from creation and authority to redemption and sacrificial love.

Survival of the FITTEST   Who will survive the battle [Old Testament]/ win the race [New Testament]?   In My View - The possibilities are   1)      GOD – Father, Son, Holy Spirit & Heavenly Creatures [Holy Bible] 2)      Satan – Lucifer/Son of Morning Star & his dark forces [Isaiah 14] 3)      man – Nimrod [Genesis 10:8–12] & other Kingdoms of like   Why these possibilities?   1)      GOD – He was the maker of Heaven [Satan] & Earth [man]. So, HE has the upper hand over the other two. Moreover, he came in the form of a man & won over Satan, through the cross satisfying it to save his creation the man who is created in his image from the clutches of evil.   2)      Satan – He was a creation of GOD with all its beauty & was placed just below GOD. But he was not satisfied with the stature/position he got & he wanted to make His seat above GOD. Knowing His thoughts to go up GOD brought him down to the deepest part of the world of th

  FAITH – According to the Bible   ü What had Abraham done through Faith? Abraham's belief is a central theme in the Bible, and it provides valuable insights for believers. Let's explore this further:   1. Genesis 15:6:    - In this passage, Abram (later known as Abraham) believed in the Lord, and God credited it to him as righteousness. This act of faith was foundational for Abraham's relationship with God.    - His trust in God's promises, even when they seemed impossible (such as the promise of descendants), exemplifies unwavering faith.   2. Romans 4:1-22:    - The apostle Paul refers to Abraham's faith in this chapter. He emphasises that Abraham was justified by faith, not by works.    - Abraham believed in God, and this belief was counted as righteousness. His faith was credited to him even before he was circumcised.    - Through Abraham, we learn that faith is essential for all believers, regardless of their background or circumstance

  How is not only… but also… a correlative conjunction in English grammar related to Jesus Christ and his mission?   The phrase “not only… but also…” is a correlative conjunction . It pairs two elements in a sentence to emphasize their equal importance. Here’s how it works: 1.      Structure : “Not only X but also Y” 2.      Usage : o     Connects and emphasizes two words or phrases at the same position. o     Presents both phrases as surprising or unexpected, with the second one often more surprising than the first. 3.      Examples : o     “I have not only a pet mouse but also a pet dog.” o     “My friend Joe has not only helped me but also given me a lift.” o     "A pet dog does not only bark but also bite." In the Bible, Jesus’ mission is multifaceted. While Matthew 15:24 records Him saying, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel,” it’s essential to consider other passages too. John 3:16 emphasizes God’s love for the entire world, not j

Here are a few relevant verses: 1 Peter 4:7-5:14 (NKJV) : In this passage, Peter encourages believers to be serious, watchful in prayer, and to love one another fervently.

Romans 15:7 (NKJV) : “Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.” This verse encourages believers to welcome and accept one another, reflecting God’s glory. Psalm 34:3 (NKJV) : “Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.” While not an exact match, this verse highligh
