Replay Pain The casket started coming up, out of the ground, my brother moving back the tip of the whole, as I looked around people's tears began to go up back in the eyes of the people. My father's hand moved from my brother's shoulder quieter and quieter it got, the people who were handling the service wearing blue clothes held on the casket slowly and started moving back to the car packing the casket back in the hash nicely and closing the door. I watched the car driving back to the house as the weather got cooler and cooler.  Minutes later we started moving back slowly while our eyes are fixed on the whole. Moving back all I could hear were people's footsteps on that dry summer day. The car door opens, I jumped back in the car with a smile, while my father was wiping off his tears, my brother irritated by the joy and smile on my face thinking to himself 'oh how clueless he is...' pulls me in the car.  Pain wonders around the hearts of my family members while...

So many people died throughout the years, so many people were beheaded, burned, stoned and etc. for a name. The church, the ecclesia has found itself in deep trouble, we stand with our doctrine that Jesus Christ is Lord and saviour of all mankind but over the ages we have painted Jesus to accommodate who we are and what we want. For this reason I am propelled to write a short article on the subject who is Jesus is. We are engulfed by new cultures that are emerging every day and everywhere we are, might be South Africa, Spain, America, Zimbabwe etc. there is a new culture emerging every day and we are expected to preach Christ Crucified with no editions or subtraction, yet as we do so, we are reminded how Christianity played a huge role in the mass killings back In History, we are reminded how Catholicism has judged people over the years, how Jehovah witnesses say that 6 Billion people around the globe will go to hell while the 144 000 go to heaven, how the 7 th day Adventists judg...
