A THEOLOGY OF SUFFERING AND STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE IN THE CHIN (MYANMAR) CONTEXT

Image
                                                       INTRODUCTION     This research is a study of Gustavo Gutierrez’ theology of suffering and struggle for justice and its relevance to theological reflection in the Chin context . The people of Myanmar have been on a state of suffering for ages. Suffering has become a permanent fixture of national life. In the words of Thawng Khuo Tuong, “There is no justice and peace in the country, peace is like a burning coal under the ash.” [1] Theosophies and theologies, both in their formal and popular form have reflected on this state of national suffering as caused by spirits, divinities, and supernatural forces reciprocating the people’s failure to behave properly; and that the only proper way to address the problem of suffering is to properly observe religious rituals and to behave accordingly. The Christians and the churches, likewise, reflect theologically along these lines. The churches’ exposures to the social gospel, if

Law and Gospel

Image
For the law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The Law, we can find in the Bible (prescript/ prescription) 613. “Do 248” and “do not 365”. Hence, before the law was given to Moses, there was transgressions. It says; “for sin indeed was in the world before the law given, but sin is not counted where there is no law” (Romans 5: 13). The distinction between law and gospel is best known in the understanding of salvation or justification and how the law and gospel function in the life of the believer. The law is the will of God being known by all the natural law and in written laws or commandments like the Mosaic Law. But after the fall, the law has become a word of judgment and wrath because humanity has become incapable of fulfilling God’s will. The law is like a mirror it shows your sin. So the law reveals sin and condemnation. In order to liberate humanity from the curse of the law, the Gospel, which is God’s Word that has the message of salvation, is proclaimed and grace is g

HOW TO AVOID “DEPRESSION”?

Image
The past has a great power on everyone. While, the past is past. If you want to live a great life, don’t allow yourself to be controlled by others. 1.       Do not allow your past to control your present or your future life. Your past is gone. Whatever happened you must let it go. 2.       Do not allow other people’s opinions and judgments to control the direction of your life! Leave the pain of your past behind, so it cannot ruin your future. 3.       Do not allow your life to be controlled by your own limited beliefs. Leave your pain and imagine what you could achieve. Have faith in yourself, think about success and expect success. 4.       If someone did you wrong, the ONLY WAY you can win is if you let it go and move on. If you live in hate, they win. If you live in the victim story, they win. If you want to win, you must focus on building your future and start right now building (character) positive mind. 5.       You were born unique for a reason, yo
