Christianity Vs Other Religions

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jul 20, 2024

Before you choose a religion, you need to know about the person who is centred around (icon) in that religion. Ask yourself, what good qualities you can follow in that leader. Why did he come? How did he live? What did he teach? Where did he come? Where did he go?

Look for Ten good qualities in that leader. Look for ten good qualities of the followers. Look for ten good qualities of that religion or faith. Ask yourself again, where would you end up if you follow that person and his teachings in your life. You are trusting someone completely and following ...read more

God Of The Bible

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jul 24, 2024

Thinking correctly about God is of utmost importance because a false idea about God is idolatry. It is much easier to know doctrines than it is to know God - because you don't have to pay a price to know the doctrines.

The first and primary evidence for the existence of God is the existence of the creation. It is only natural that man, being a reasoning creature, should ask questions about the creation and the creator. Obviously, the universe and all that in it, had not been created by man, and yet its design ...read more

The Trinity- Triune God

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 7, 2024

In contrast to the polytheism of the heathen world with its many gods and idols, the Christian faith centers in one God. This God, however, is revealed to be a Trinity, including the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Though, the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, yet scholars, Church history and traditions have validated it over the past 2,000 years along with many other theological concepts not found explicitly in the Bible. There are passages of scriptures found in the Bible that have hints of a ...read more
