Biblical Thoughts

    Can man earn the favor of God through good works ? If it could, why did God had to send his son on the earth to redeem man? This could be explained using the principles of mathematics. Let us place the finite man at Point 0 and position the infinite God at Point ∞ on a line segment . Let us assign a score 1 for one unit of good work. So, if a person does 10 good works, he or she gets score 10 and moves from Point 0 to Point 10.   However, ∞ - 10 = ∞. So, the distance remains ∞ even after moving by 10 units to the right as per the definition of   ∞.     Another person decides to do 1000 units of good work and moves to point 1000.   However, ∞ - 1000 = ∞. So the distance remains ∞.     This shows that a person must do infinite amounts of good works to get close to God. But a finite man in his finite life can never achieve this. So mathematically a person can never reach God by good works . However, God the Fat...

  Adam was not born of a woman. He was born of God. God formed him out of dust and breathed his breath into him and there he received God’s Spirit because the Spirit in a man is the breath of the Almighty (Job 32:8). So, Adam began in Spirit.

When he ate the luscious apple which was a delight to his eyes (Genesis 3:6) from the forbidden tree, by way of obeying satan, he fell from the spiritual realm and fell to his flesh. This was his spiritual death. When Adam and Eve heard the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, they ran for cover and hid themselves among the trees in the garden (Gen 3:8). When God asked him, where are you (Gen 3:9), he was afraid to face him because those who are in the flesh cannot plea...
