What should have been a private tragedy became public entertainment. Instead of outrage, many responded with memes, cheers, and laughter. But for Christians, this moment invites a different kind of response—not mockery, but mourning; not entertainment, but ethical examination. What does this scandal say about our culture’s view of chastity and the sanctity of the family? And how should Christians respond—not only in thought, but in the way we live? 1. The Culture of Casual Betrayal In a society addicted to enter...

This paper explores the paradox of biblical ignorance during a time when apostolic teaching and scriptural documents were being circulated. Through historical, cultural, and sociolinguistic analysis, we identify key factors contributing to this illiteracy, including socio-economic limitations, oral traditions, persecution, access to manuscripts, and the communal nature of early Christian learning. Drawing from primary sources and scholarly interpretations, this study highlights how the early church navigated the challenge of scriptural transmission and understanding. Introduction The early church is o...

This paper evaluates whether women may biblically serve as preachers, teachers, or leaders in the local church. It examines the teachings and actions of Jesus and Paul, focusing on Galatians 3:28 and 1 Corinthians 14:34–35, and investigates the apparent tension between spiritual equality and functional roles. Special attention is given to the case of Phoebe in Romans 16:1–4 to illuminate how early church leadership functioned and how women were involved. This article argues that while Scripture upholds male headship in church leadership, it simultaneously affirms women’s significant spiritual and ministerial roles, inviting ...

अनन्य भक्ति की कीमत : अननियास और सफ़ीरा का पाप , न्याय और कलीसिया पर प्रभाव प्रेरितों के काम 5:1–11 ऐतिहासिक और बाइबल आधारित पृष्ठभूमि यह घटना उस समय की है जब यरूशलेम में प्रारंभिक कलीसिया का गठन हो रहा था , और पिन्तेकुस्त के दिन के बाद विश्वासियों में अद्भुत एकता और आत्मिक जोश था ( प्रेरितों 2) । वे अपनी संपत्ति और धन एक - दूसरे की भलाई के लिए बाँट रहे थे ( प्रेरितों 4:32–35) । यह कोई मजबूरी नहीं , बल्कि आत्मा प्रेरित प्रेम और बलिदान का फल था । बरनबास इसका आदर्श उदाहरण थे ( प्रेरितों 4:36–37) । इसी पृष्ठभूमि में अननियास और उसकी पत्नी सफ़ीरा ने भी अपनी ज़मीन बेची , परंतु वे मूल्य का एक भाग छिपाकर यह दिखावा करने लगे कि उन्होंने सब कुछ दे दिया है ( प्रेरितों 5:1–2) । उनका पाप केवल धन छिपाने का नहीं , बल्कि परमेश्वर से छल और पाखंड का था । उनका पाप क्या था ? जानबूझकर धोखा देना : उन्होंने प्रेरितों और पवित्र आत्मा से झूठ बोला ( प्रेरितों 5:...
