  • 1O WAYS TO DEFEND THE MYSTERY OF THE HOLY TRINITY BY VIGIL UCHE

I was inspired to write this after Mass on Sunday, the 16th of June 2019 which was the feast of the Holy Trinity. It occurred to me that so many Christians today find it very difficult and extremely hard at times to defend the mystery of the Holy Trinity, most times when they are faced with faith threatening questions like: How is it possible for three persons to exist in one?
Is God the Father not greater than God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?
If there is God the Son There must be God the mother, and so many other likely questions about the Mystery of the Holy Trinity that are still today unclear and hard for some Christians to answer. Sometimes when asked such questions, the Christian believer might in retreat say something like “that is the way we saw it” such answer might discourage the unbeliever who wants to understand in other to believe.
If you have read Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, this matter was also briefly discussed, remember when a white man gathered some villagers and was teaching them the gospel, when he started teaching them the Mystery of the Holy Trinity, Okonkwo was confused he stood up and asked a question, his question was “if there is God the Father and God the son, there must be God the mother?” because for all he know there cannot be a son without the interaction or conjunction of a father and a mother. When this question was not answered the way he wanted he left the gathering.
Now! How many people have walked out on you and your evangelism because you could not answer a simple question on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity? Worry no more because after reading these articles you’ll boldly answer anybody anywhere and anytime on matters concerning The Mystery of the Holy Trinity.
If you’ve tried showing them in the Holy Bible where Jesus told us to pray in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and it didn’t work and they’re still being doubtful, then try these ten ways below to Defend the Mystery of the Holy Trinity with everyday things by Vigil Uche

Should Husband's Wash Their Wives Panties

While still in the tertiary Institution, I admired and still admire one of my astute lecturers – Mrs. Adah Anyahuru Kudirat, because of her virtually all the girls in my class turned to Feminists. In the words of popular Award winning Nigerian writer – Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche Feminism in an ideal sense simply means being who you are; being the woman that you are, without fears of judgement from folks. She asserts “ and then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man. If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, pretend that you are not, especially in public, otherwise you will emasculate him ” I therefore believe that in other words, it's all about fighting for what you want not waiting for ...

Whoever Told You That Sex Is A Sin Is A Lier

On a particular Sunday morning, sometime early this year. I visited a family and during the course of the preparation for mass one of them asked me in confidence "Dom...can someone who kissed someone recieve the communion" Imagine my numbness, for seconds I couldn't say anything because it was really tricky but yet I gavean answer. Do tell me what you think in the comment section before I tell you what I said. Pardon my bluntness. You see, sex is never bad. Not at all. From attraction to action, sexual behaviour takes many forms. At least for humans, this most basic of activities is anything but basic. Human interest in sex is not a matter left to chance but more a built-in-imperative; survival of the species depends on it. The moral and political implications of sex vary greatly from culture to culture, and eve writhing cultures and over time; still,there is agreement on one certainty : it's why we 're alive to say and what future generations depend on. ...

Will Racism Ever Disappear

I do not intend to insight violence, hatred, prejudice among countless numerous mundane feelings with this piece, but it's always wise to" call a spade a spade and not a garden fork" Racism is rooted in the very DNA of (I beg to withhold my words) it is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Because of the colour of your skin, they ask if you are from a cave and if you have tails. A friend who got scholarship and studied abroad buttressed the fact that during the first class he was using the meter rule and someone approached him and said " Can I teach you how to use that...?  As if we grow in caves in Africa. O Mother Africa! Have they forgotten in a hurry that civilization started in Egypt: a country located in the northeastern corner of the African Continent. Have they forgotten how they Underdeveloped Africa? If you think I'm mincing words do read How E...

Is the Eucharist the source of our Strength?

At every public worship of the Roman Catholic Church, there is a principal culmination. This culmination is also known as the celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The word isn’t of English, thus; is a word with diverse dimensions, all going back to the man’s central need of giving thanks to God. It is one of the often used words in Catholicism. Its meaning is deep and more profound and only one with profound intimacy with God can fully comprehend its richness.  To properly understand the word is necessary to consider the word in itself. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church would assert: “The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it. It is called: Eucharist, because it is an action of  thanksgiving to God. The Greek words: 'ευχαριστία'  ( eucharistein) and 'ευλογείν'  (eulogein) recall the Jewish blessings that proclaim - especially during a meal - God's work...

How Prisons Increase Crime

My post on Will Racism Ever Stop, brought lotsof controversial comments especially on facebook. I was asked to stop, take it down and stop writing that. How I laughed. Racism is just a tip of the many difficulties we face as a people. Did you know that the population of America is a little above 328.2 million. In this census Blacks in America make a total of 42% of the population and yet over 13% are in prisosn. How we treat a person during the darkest point of their life's is the benchmark of humanity. Putting individuals convicted of crimes, especially violent crimes, in prison is thought to make the rest of us safer. But how much safety does all this imprisonment actually buy us? The answer is very little, especially in the long-term. There are good reasons to think prisons might prevent crime. The experience of imprisonment could deter someone from committing crimes to avoid prison in the future. Prison might provide opportunities for rehabilitation, such as drug and a...

The Power of Humility

If then your Lord and master have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (John 13:14) If Jesus could do this very belittling task for his disciples, why won't I humble myself and recognize the strength of others. Know it today! That even the least amongst you deserves your concerned respect and love for the pride of Christianity is Humility. The power of Humility lies in the strength of the super natural pride it stores for you in heaven and on earth for generations to come.. Vigil Uche
