December 16, 2009 If Jesus knew he was being betrayed "behold, the hand of him who betrays me", why not tell who was the betrayer?
Jesus did not tell the betrayer because if He had told them, they would react with too much anger against the betrayer. More so, they could end up disrupring the fulfilment of thge scriptures.

August 18, 2008 Why did Jesus answer their question with a question? Why didn`t he just say that his authority came from God?
Jesus answered their question with a question so that they (the elders and the chief priest and scribes) could provide the answer since they knew also about God.He could not just say His authoruty came from God since, He knew they were only trying to trap Him and He wanted them to provide the answer.

August 17, 2008 Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are key to effective prayer. Why do you think they are important?
First of all, you need to forgive those who wronged you so that God can as well forgive you. For when there is any wrong and your heart is not clean, tghen God would not listen to your prayers since the sin in you will be a barrier to you communication. You need to believe because God can not lie and He is supreme. When we believe, He will surely answer our prayers.

August 08, 2008 Jesus exaggerates to makes the point that one should eliminate things that cause one to sin (disobey God). What things might you eliminate to be more spiritually healthy?
Brethens, first of all apology for not being so regular in this important discussion due to difficulties I face in accessing the Internet services. As a human being who is weak and surviving by God's Grace, I need to remove greed and selfishness for out of these other acts like stealing, killing, telling lies, abortion etc are born. In all, I need to resist the wants for the worldly pleasures.

July 31, 2008 What was Jesus trying to teach the disciples? Note: Jesus left twelve baskets full when he fed the 5000 people on the Israel side (Israel had 12 main regions or tribes).
Jesus was trying to teach His disciples not to behave the way the Parisees do because they did not have the inwardly conviction but were worshiping God outwardly. He wanted His disciples to belive and seek the Kingdom of God with all their hearts and soul.
