How Is Jesus Different from Other Religious Leaders?

This is not just another comparison. It is a question that gets to the heart of why millions of people across centuries have chosen to follow Jesus. And the answer begins with something no other religious leader in history can claim: Jesus is alive. Yes, every other religious leader—no matter how wise, respected, or influential—is dead. Their teachings may live on, but they themselves did not conquer death. Their graves still exist. Their bodies decayed. But Jesus of Nazareth, after being crucified under the Roman Empire, rose from the dead on the third day (Luke 24:6). His tomb was empty, and hundreds of eyewitnesses confirmed His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–8). Dead leaders cannot offer eternal life. But Jesus did not just teach about eternal life—He promised it to those who believe in Him (John 11:25–26). He did not just speak about God—He claimed to be God in human form (John 10:30). He called Himself the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end (Revelation 22:13), a tit...

If God Is Good, Why Is the World So Bad?

This is one of the most common questions people ask. If there is a good God who created everything, then why does the world look so broken, violent, and unfair? The answer begins with understanding the nature of God and the nature of human beings. God is good, and He created the world with purpose and beauty. More importantly, He created humans with something powerful—free will. Without free will, we would not be human. We would be programmed robots or worse, slaves. But with free will comes the ability to choose, and with choice comes responsibility. God did not abandon us to figure everything out on our own. He gave us moral laws—clear guidance on what is right and wrong. These are not hidden truths. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), the teachings of Jesus (Matthew 5–7), and countless biblical principles all show a path toward peace, justice, and a better life. God even told us to “choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19)—a direct invitation to walk in His ways. So why is the world bad? Beca...

Was Jesus Married to Mary Magdalene or Anyone Else?

No, Jesus was not married. There is not a single shred of credible historical or biblical evidence to suggest that He was. This idea often comes from conspiracy theories popularized by fiction writers, sensational media, and fringe interpretations of obscure texts like the Gnostic gospels, which were written centuries after Jesus and were never considered authoritative by the early Church. Let us be clear: marriage itself was not a sin in Jesus’s time. The Bible openly mentions that Peter, one of the disciples, was married (Matthew 8:14). If Jesus had taken a wife, it would not have been scandalous or hidden. In fact, it would have been natural for His followers to mention her—especially during key moments like the wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11), when His mother was present, or when His family came looking for Him (Mark 3:31–35). At His crucifixion, several women stood nearby in grief, including His mother and Mary Magdalene (John 19:25). There is no mention of a wife then—or after His ...

Why Does God Allow Evil? A Christian Perspective on a Hard Question

This is another frequently asked question—closely related to the one in the previous post, “ Why Does God Allow Suffering? ” And once again, I do not claim to have a complete answer. But I will try to respond based on what I understand from the nature of God revealed in the Bible. There are examples in Scripture where God allows suffering for a purpose, as we saw in the case of Job (Job 1–2), Paul (2 Cor 12:7–10), and even Jesus (Isaiah 53:3–5). But I am not aware of any biblical passage where God allows or causes evil itself. That makes the question worth examining more closely. Evil is not something God does. Evil, in fact, is the absence of God , not the result of His presence. When people ask why God allows evil, they are often referring to actions like abuse, exploitation, or cruelty. But look more closely—these actions are not random. They are always a violation of God's commands. Take for example pedophilia or sexual trafficking—both are evil. Why? Because they directly brea...

Why Does God Allow Suffering? A Personal and Honest Reflection

Oh boy—this is the thorny one. Perhaps the most asked question in the history of humanity. I do not pretend to have the full answer, and I am not sure anyone truly does. But I will do my best to offer a sincere and thoughtful response. People often turn to the book of Job to explain suffering. In that story, God allows suffering for a specific purpose (Job 1–2). Others point to Paul, who wrote about enduring hardship with divine purpose (2 Cor 12:7–10). And of course, Jesus suffered intensely, not because He deserved it, but to fulfill a greater mission (Isaiah 53:3–5; Luke 22:42). But these were specific contexts. What about the day-to-day suffering we all go through—job loss, illness, grief, and disappointment? That is the kind of suffering I am talking about here. First, I think the question itself needs to be reconsidered. When we ask, Why does God allow suffering?, it implies that God sits back and permits pain for sport. That is not the God of the Bible. If God actively allowed s...
