In this post , I do not strongly mean and talk how or whether to help a poor financially rather how we approach, behave, show attitude and perceive a person who is financially inferior. I believe, to show love and care towards the poor is one of the most difficult task. My country India is a developing country but those who are poor becomes more and more poor and those who are rich will rise up and up. I don't know about other countries but we have line up of millionaires. Ambani made news for being world top 5 earners for last 5 years. There are many industrialist, film actors and politician who have money stock that we can't imagine. But I don't remember anyone who has done work like mother Teresa. She was not as rich as others but showed her love and care towards the poor. There are many trusts and NGOs run by celebrities, business tycoons and high profile characters. But that has become philanthropist's show-off. Even if they spend crores on philanthropy work

Abortion is a medical procedure to terminate growth of fetus or embryo while it's still in mother's womb. This is a big debate in different communities on legal status of abortion. Majority of the countries allow legally to abort when requested. However, gender test done for boy-child-want is illegal and abortion is discouraged. Abortion is done in rare cases where pregnancy results due to rape, deformed fetus and contraceptive failure or mother's health become adverse. It is seen that most of the abortion cases occur for the want of male child. There are some who oppose abortion and some not. Some think it's mother right to decide, until the the fetus has reached a stage where it has 'sensation' and 'life'. While some don't agree with this practice as they believe that the soul enters right when a fetus is conceived. Biblical Views Bible doesn't speak for and against directly, but it do speak about fetus in mother's womb. ➡Fine

A man cannot live without society and society include our ‘ friends ', families and various associates. When we are in home, our parents guide and discipline. They rebuke us so that we can't go astray. But when we are off from their sight, we tend to make mistakes and errors. At such time, friends play vital role. Either they can mend or spoil you. Most probably, a teenager has a turbulent period and seeks for friends that suits him. If he doesn't find mutualism then he tries altering himself to suit his friend's policy. Wise one will stick to the disciplines and see rules as a mirror and standard of judging their mistakes. However, being confined gives you an odd image. When your friends see that you are trying to become as straight as a staff, you are humiliated and they tell always tell you— “try to be independent you dummy! there is much fun in trying new hand".      Some of us knowingly fall because we want to prefer our esteem among friends over the law.

Majority of the horror films are based on ghost-theme. A ghost or spirit that persist even after the body is dead. Films depict them mostly as avenger ghost, having some sorts of supernatural power and trying to fulfill its desire. Now, if you are asked , “Do you believe in ghosts?" What would you reply ‘ Ay ' or ‘Nay' . Some do not believe in supernatural powers like ghosts. But mostly, people believe in spirits that loiter around seeking its victim. Reason— Either the person's spirit got stuck somewhere or could not free itself due to some reasons. Beside these, there are numerous theories and assumptions and vary from societies to religions. And this is what Hollywood and Bollywood portray. People like to watch such thriller and one's believe increases in such things. If you believe that ghosts exist, that means you also believe: ‘an individual's spirit is bound within his/her body and when he or she dies, the spirit leaves the body and the same above st

Despite being rejected by the scientific community, it still persist in the modern world. Not to get confused with the term Astronomy (mere study of stars and cosmic space), astrology is the study of —stars and planets influencing people various factors on the basis of their position. Indian, Chinese and Mayans astrology has the most influences. Jyotisha (Indian astrology), where astronomy and astrology are blended, claims and boast many prediction and fortunes.

Majority of the names and events like marriage, inauguration are done with the help of astrologist consultancy. Yet, there are lethal terrorist attack, earthquake, flood and always failed to

We all know that in the Book of Exodus 20, gives us the law of Man-to-God commandments. It is written by Christ Himself with prominent and strict sense. It was given for man, not man for commandments because “Happy is he who keep s the law " proverbs 29:1 What does the Exodus Say? First and second law focuses and covers primarily Idolatry in literal sense. But it doesn't just limit to literal sense. The very first law, “ Thou shall have no other gods before me " forbids us worshiping other deities in any form. We do not have to visit or please or more correct worship other power-source. He doesn't have avatars which distribute His powers and grace. He is the sole Almighty God. Remember that God is Omnipotent , Omnipresent and Omniscient . This also means that there is no compromising of other gods worship. For say one can't put position of Marry the mother of Jesus as a substitute or side-along Goddess. What about spiritual leader?

Adventists are often labelled as Cult denomination because the church suffers from many convenient laws. Convenient laws in the sense, the laws which sound soothing to all class of people. Now saying "NO" to coffee or tea sounds not typical. This is what Satan use his method of deception in disguise!. Satan knows what's the human trends, likings and disliking.
