The Quick and Easy Guide to God - my Answer (August 29 2020)

 I got this picture from a good friend and he wanted answers. I love friends who share their genuine doubts, it only makes us stronger. Posted here as it is in my whatsapp.

Statement – 1 = Amen

Questions – 2 - 4 = All yeses so your biased and based on unbelief conclusions in my red ring need no response.

Question – 5 = Good question

In my blue ring - Your assumptions

Assumption 1 – It’s irrelevant because in tests, just as it is in academics all good teachers know how good or bad their students will fair. They can even assume the grades they would get. It’s the students who are tested and not the teachers. It is a joy for any good student to test himself, bad ones are afraid of tests and they even drop out before tests. God knows a good and ‘bad’ believer and no bias so He tests both of them regardless of Him knowing how exactly they will come out of it.

Assumption 2 – God will destroy satan when God says, no more tests required. (Sorry dude no time to explain, but I think you know)

Revelation 20:7-9 says, “⁷ When the 1,000 years are finished, Satan will be free to leave his prison. ⁸ He will go out and fool the nations who are over all the world. They are Gog and Magog. He will gather them all together for war. There will be as many as the sand along the sea-shore. ⁹ They will spread out over the earth and all around the place where God’s people are and around the city that is loved. Fire will come down from God out of heaven and destroy them.”

Question – 6 = Yes, so the no side is irrelevant.

Question – 7 = The no side is already answered in response to your assumptions in blue circle.

Your question in my green ring – why would we need free will if we are not to exercise our will to choose from good and evil? Come on dude.

Inngaihtlawmna (Humility in Mizo)

 Inngaihtlawmna – Humility

Chapter 1.

chapona – duhamna – mi ngaihnepna – inchhuanna – hengte hi inngaihtlawmnaa awm lo an ni.

Inngaihtlawmna hi inhmuh tetna – inngaihnepna – engmah ti theilo a inngaihna ani lo bawk.

Mahni pawimawhna ngaihtuah lohva dah hniam theihna a ni zawk. (The quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance.) Kan pawimawhna, thatna, thiamna, felna, finna te ngawih pui ngamna ani zawk.

Inngaihtlawmnaa awm lo tih a tarlan ‘chapona – duhamna – mi ngaihnepna – inchhuanna’ ah te hian a hnuai a mi ho hi a lo awm thin;

Inhuatna – hlim lohna – inrem lohna/nghirnghona – dawhtheih lohna – thinchhiatna – chhiatna – rinawm lohna – dodalna – insum theih lohna.

Inngaihtlawmnaah erawh ve thung chuan;

Hmangaihna – hlimna – remna – dawhtheihna – ngilneihna – thatna – rinawmna – thuhnuairawlhna – insumtheihna hi tih lanin a awm thin thung.

Thlarau rah an ni - Galatia 5:22-23

Bible-in engtin nge a sawi a, inngaihtlawmna hi eng nen nge a tehkhin?

Thufingte 22:4 ~ Inngaihtlâwmna leh Lalpa ṭih man chu Sum te, chawimawina te, nunna te a ni.

NIV-ah chuan – Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Parallel translation – Inngaihtlâwmna hi Lalpa ṭihna ani, a man chu Sum te, chawimawina te, nunna te a ni.

In ang tiin a sawi a ni. Inngaihtlâwmna hi Lalpa ṭihna ani kan tih theih loh pawhin an lawman hi chu a in ang ani kan ti lo thei lo.

INNGAIHTLAWMNA hi finna bul ani ve em?

Thufingte 1:7 ~ LALPA ṭih hi finna bul a ni a; Nimahsela, mi â-te chuan finna leh zirtirna an hmusit thin.

Academics cause people to be argumentative and question authority and method instead of focusing on what their goal is.

Lehkhathiamna hian mi hnial duhna a siama, a tih tur tih aiin hotute hnial leh inkaihhruaina dodal a thlang zawk thin.

INNGAIHTLAWMNA tello chuan PATHIAN THU a zir theih loh a Thuawih phei chu kaha se.

Engmah tak tak a zir theih loh. Zirtirtu pawh a ngainep thin. Fin a har ve viau ang.

Lehkhathiamte hian mahni in ven angai thin, chapona a chawh chhuah theih vangin.

Where are the Shephards of Mizoram (Aug 22 2020)

 Feed my sheep ~ Jesus Christ

So where are you? Pastors, Elders and Deacons

This is a call of your flock, your people;

Heed our cries and woes, misery and sorrow,

Who else can we turn to but you overseers,

For relief from our plight and distress in these times?

The churches closed we know, we grasp;

We don't demand no entry, the law we abide.

Have you forgotten though where I lay the night?

How about the outlet next door you just left with a basket full?

I reside still here, where you pass by each day;

My bad, I didn't mind you driving by without a glance,

That was then, oh revered and honored shepherd.

My bottle of comfort has dried, my needles blunt now;

Am all but frail and feeble, weak and down, just not yet out;

So I try, yes on my own, to find solace from above.

I just flip the pages, not sure of where to start.

Like the old pun, fixed my eye on the right side as I open;

You must have read it, It was meant for you;

John 21:16

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

This is why I write and not come in person, dear Sirs;

Aren't I among your sheep anymore? Have I been debarred?

Can't be too sure 'cause you haven't attended to me,

I can't say 'cause you haven't fed me for quite awhile.

But I remember well, your appointed worker a few days back,

With an envelope and my name on it, so I payed him.

Where I dwell, he knows, not far from the outlet you frequent.

Everyday I await to open my door to your smile,

The smile you wore as you spoke on 'Finding The Lost Sheep'

The joyful smile on your face with your 'In and Out of Season' sermon

This though, the battle of my mind and soul aches deep;

So I look elsewhere to balance my psychological state.

All I find are those you seem to despise, the misfits;

'Auditorium Church' - you called them and mocked, self ordained.

But oh Certified Shephard, I cry, 'Where art thou?'

Are you licensed just within the big white building?

On webinars - you are nowhere, youtube has not your voice.

You have a phone, it has a camera, that's all they have too.

Is technology inappropriate? Is it sin? But it's in your pocket.

I honor you so, I truly do, but you're silence is killing me;

Tend to us, let us be fed by you.

Scriptures below will tell you to come to us in this lockdown, in general, to labour.

Acts 20:28

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

1 Timothy 5:17

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.

1 Peter 5:2

Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;

This has nothing to do with condemnation nor any other bad intention. This is written to encourage church leaders and the youth leaders within to feed the flock.

Spread a short sermon video in whatsapp groups, organise a webinar meeting at the same time churches start, create a social media platform for young singers and musicians, artists, literature enthusiasts to bring out talents to glorify God.

Go to their homes and attend their family devotion. We all go out anyway right?

The devil don't sleep and it's eating their free time. An idle mind is a devil's workshop, remember?

There are many at home needing Christ.

You are the only Christ in this modern world that can be seen in the flesh.

Not Ordinary

He wants you to enjoy your life.

Nothing but good and perfect is in God's Kingdom and His will for you is indescribably awesome. 

Just a quickly written poem

My facebook status on June 15 at 9:21pm 

For all I've forgotten is nothing less than all you've ever known:

Why for must we deny and despise knowledge of old?

Where forth would our face from a convertible be blown?

If not the wheel a naked man did not find worthy to mold. 

All I plead to relay is this, respect the elderly.

You should know better, it is your duty surely!
