For atheists, men and animals are in the same category. When we question these atheists through common sense, they will return their self-made answer that human beings are super-animals and if we go on with further questions they will have such home-made answer. "Man came into being through the actions of Nature, and so did all the other creations, and if you believe in God let your God come in person and tell us that He is God".

Many years ago, a friend of mine took me to a "Theological" class in one of the city in Europe. While hearing the lecture only then did I realise that it was a meeting conducted by an atheist, not a theologian.

The atheist demonstrated that Jesus Christ was no more than a magician. He took a glass of water, put some powder in it and made it red. "This is the miracle of Jesus making water into wine" he said, "Jesus hid in his pocket a kind of powder and then, he pretended to have changed water into wine in a miraculous manner." But, look here, my dear friends, he said, "I can do much better than Jesus. I can change the wine into water again". He put another powder making it white and again another powder making it into 'wine'.

The audience exclaimed with applause. I prodded my head for a while and thought of making himself admire the work. I asked him to drink his "miraculous wine". He stood stunned, looking at me with his wide open eyes, asking, "Are you testing my power?" I answered, "I am not testing your 'miraculous power' but I plead you to drink your 'miraculous wine' to confirm that the work of Jesus was nothing more than mere magic". He became puzzled, saying, 'I cannot drink it because it is poison'. The audience laughed. 'Now you have confirmed that your work is nothing but poison' I said, "This is the way you 'miraculous' atheists poison the innocent peoples, all over the world". We could see that he made himself a "clown" in the class. He left immediately utterly disappointed.

I came into this world without my
knowledge or consent but...but
it is God, Who commands me to
make a credible score for
myself and others while I am
alive with life, though I know, I
know and I definitely know that I
will have to depart here from
without my knowledge or consent
and at a time unknown to me, for
I know, I know and I definitely
know that my life is not mine,
but from HIM...It is HE WHO is
holding me responsible to test my
passage to pass through.......

"Three days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. When they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the wedding was all finished, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine'. Jesus said, 'Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not come yet'. His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.' There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons.

Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water' and they filled them to the brim. 'Draw some out now' he told them 'and take it to the steward'. They did this; the steward tasted the water and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from - only the servants who had drawn the water knew - the steward called the bridegroom and said, 'People generally serve the best wine first and keep the cheaper sort till the guests have had plenty to drink; but you have kept the best wine till now"'.

This was the first of the signs given by Jesus: it was given at Cana in Galilee. He let his glory be seen and his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and the brothers but they stayed there only a few days." - John 2:1-12 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -

God bestows more consideration on the purity of intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves - Saint August...
