Do dead children become angels?

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on May 16, 2009 | Comments

“When a child dies, he or she will automatically become an angel of God.”
This is common belief, but what is the biblical basis for this claim? Do dead children really turn into angels? If not, then where do their souls go? Why is it important to know the truth behind this claim?

Angels are spiritual beings [...]

Osteen Is Plain Heresy-filled

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on December 30, 2008 | Comments

I just found out my friend reads Joel Osteen. How cool is that?
Seriously, I met up with her a few days back and she was clutching an Osteen book – Live Your Best Life Now – and I wanted so much to steal the book away from her and dump it in the nearest dumpster. Apparently, [...]

An Open Letter To Bo Sanchez

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on September 25, 2008 | Comments

Dear Bo Sanchez,
Your teachings make me cringe.
In one of your posts, you wrote about having a “divine self-portrait” and not letting go of that “no matter what happens”. You say that each of us has a self-portrait which we must learn to love and that we must not believe that we are ugly, selfish, evil, [...]

Test the Spirit

Elihu rightly said…
“I said ‘Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’ But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.” Job 32:7-8 (ESV)
many people, especially those who have earned many years [...]

Teammate

Warren told me about a blog he read yesterday, to which I credit today’s post to. Pity I do not know the aforementioned blog’s URL or I would have at least linked it here.
Anyway, my husband mentioned that the blogger wrote about Christians who hate each other despite the fact that they are all on [...]

Catholic fanaticism

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on July 12, 2008 | Comments

I didn’t know that my best friend is already attending church services in a Catholic church until today.
I knew she is a Methodist and that the wedding which is taking place in December this year will be a Christian wedding, so I was taken aback when she told me that she attends a Catholic church.
I [...]

Did God Really Say?

Written by Warren | Posted on May 21, 2008 | Comments

Satan deceives the world by putting doubts in our minds of what God says
notice his style in the temptation of Eve
Satan prompts Eve with this question:
“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Gen 3:1
Nowhere in the Scriptures did God say what Satan really asked about
While God gave the [...]

Oprah Ministry

Before I hit my Wordless Wednesday post, let me just make up for the two days I missed.
I have been rather busy reading stuff about this New Age thing Oprah Winfrey is endorsing, or is a rather top ambassador of and one of the things that struck me is that in most articles exposing the [...]
