The fall

Image
   The greatest drama in history The good news without the bad news is not news at all Genesis Ch 3 is unique in the world because it gives us coherent answers to the fundamental questions we ask ourselves: What is the origin of the evil ? Where does the suffering come from ? Why are we dying ? Please open your Bible in the book of Genesis, in chapter 3 Genesis 2 v 16: "The Lord God gave this order to man: You may eat from all the trees in the garden, but you will not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for the day you eat it, you will surely die." The fall of our parents in 6 steps: Genesis 3 v 1: The serpent sows doubt of the Word of God in the heart of the woman. V 2 and 3: The woman tries to get by alone by talking with the snake, her husband does not protect her. V 4 and 5: The Devil who speaks through the serpent reverses God's plan. V 6a: She looks at the tree and lets herself be seduced, instead of asking for help from God and Adam. V 6b: It takes for...

Created in the image of God

Image
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the poisons of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on the earth. And God created man in his image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female "(Genesis 1: 26-27). Here we are not talking about the creation of the world according to Greek mythology, either according to the Egyptians of antiquity and especially not for evolution despite his theory of Big Bang. This is of course on the Bible version that we balance the assertions of facts of great intellect and incredible Superior of God, not the theory of men. Almost all of the biggest names in the science of all time demonstrated by their stories that were strong and compelling evidence: Nicolas Copernicus (1473-1543), a famous Polish astronomer and founder of the heliocentric cosmology. Although it went against philosophical and relig...

The couple according to the Holy Book

Image
  Genesis 1 v 26 to 28: The image of GOD. The union between a man and a woman, united for life on the basis of love. "Then God says: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and that he dominates over the fish of the sea, over the birds of heaven, over the cattle, over all the earth, and over all the reptiles that crawl on the earth. God created man in his image, he created him in the image of God, he created man and woman. God blesses them, and God said to them: Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subjugate it; and dominate over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and any animal that moves on the earth. » Ge 2 v 18 - 24: The Unity of the Couple: Spirit, Soul, and Body (see Philippians 2 v 2 to 5). "The Lord God says, "It is not good that man is alone; I will give him a similar help to him... This is why the man will leave his father and mother, and attach himself to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Help is the same word as in Psalm...

THE LOSS OF FIRST LOVE

Image
  Revelation 2 v 4 and 5: "I know your conduct, the pain you take and your perseverance. I know you can't stand the bad guys: you've put to the test those who claim to be apostles and who are naretos, and you've noticed that they're lying. You have perseverance, you have suffered because of me and you have not got enough. However, I have one complaint to make you: you have given up the love you had at the beginning. Will! Remember where you fell from! Change and go back to your first line! If not, I will come to you, and I will take your candlestick out of its place if you don't change." At the beginning of spiritual life, we are "in love" with the Lord, but over time, we may attract ourselves, what a pity!   The loss of first love affects relationships: With God, with the church, with the family. Why do we lose our first love? This may be the consequence of: Disobedience - No longer reading the Bible - Do not pray - Do not testify - Do n...

My testimony

Image
    A lthough I am French I was born in Baden-Baden, Germany. I spent a good part of my childhood in Africa, especially in Cameroon and Togo. I was raised in a traditional Catholic family: mass every Sunday, catechism, sacraments... When my family moved back to France I lost all interest in religion because one of my friends, an atheist, made fun of me. I stopped going to church. After all, I reasoned, I never had understood what the priest was saying.   I am with Michel, our driver in Douala (Cameroon) I apprenticed as a cabinetmaker and worked at that profession until it was time for military service. In 1968 while in the French army I made some friends who were into studying philosophy. They asked questions that I had never thought about: Why am I here? Where did I come from? Why are men wicked? Why is there suffering? Where do you go after you die? I began reading books by existentialists who encourage people to ask questions (a good thing) but never offer answer...
