There is God in every human

A tweet by a friend (Katie) some few weeks ago inspired me to write this. She tweeted "you cant love someone if you don't see God in them," but I cant remember the second and last part of the tweet. I completely agreed with Katie's tweet. It was a tweet that got me thinking and it reminded of a scene in a classic movie called strange Cargo (1945). In the scene, A prisoner named Verne (clark gable) tries to mock Cambreau belief in the bible by telling him that some things in the bible didn't make sense. He said for example, the quote "God created man in his own image." Verne went on to say "look at me do I look like a god to you?" "And this forsaken place is full of gods I suppose (referring to fellow prisoners). Cambreau replied "the answer is simple, it means that each man has the some qualities of God inside him." Camnreau later said there is good in every man and the good in man is God.

Genesis 1:27 states "So God created man in his own image." The meaning of the word image in "we created in God's image" doesn't only refer to only physical form but his qualities. Colossians 1:15 states "He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation." Colossians 1 was referring to Christ as the image of God, which meant Jesus had all of God's qualities. Christ showed all of God's qualities while he was on earth. We are all created in God's image and some of God's qualities are in us all. We must learn to approach people like God created them; in his image. It is the only that way, we could learn to truly love others. We cant love others if we don't see the qualities of God in them. Everyone had some of God's qualities in them, but need the Holy Spirit to bring it out.. I have wondered why sometimes God hasn't given up on humans including me because I have failed him many times. God sees the best in us because he knows we have some of his qualities is us but we only need the Holy Spirit. The next time you find it hard to love someone, remember they are created in God's image and approach them that way.

I would like to read your opinion on this, or your own interpretation.

Classical Movie Tribute: Victor Fleming

Wizard of OZ (1939) and Gone with the wind (1939) were both directed by one man named Victor Fleming in the same year. These two movies are always mentioned in different top 10 ranking of the greatest movies of all time. For example, these two movies are ranked in the top 10 of AFI's 100 greatest America's greatest films; the only director to have achieved such a feat. How do you direct two of the greatest movie ever in the same year? Victor Fleming was a Hollywood movie director during the golden era. He worked at MGM most of his career but died in 1949 at the age of 59. He had also directed some of my other personal favorite classical movies such as test pilot (1938), captain courageous (1937), Joan of Arc (1949), Red dust (1932), Tortilla flat (1942), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1941) and the Virginian (1929).

Baroness Thatcher and Apartheid Regime in South Africa

Margaret Thatcher was United Kingdom’s prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first and only female prime minister in the UK. I have a lot of admiration for her because of what she accomplished during her tenure as prime minister. I am a conservative, so I would describe her and late U.S. President Ronald Reagan as my role models. Some foreign policies of Baroness Thatcher have been reviewed following the announcement of her death, but the one that caught my attention was the apartheid policy. The current U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron who belongs to the conservative party (same as Baroness Thatcher) apologized for her apartheid policies and voiced his disagreement. I am an African, the word apartheid only bring back bad memories of fellow Africans being discriminated against in their own homeland. Anyone who supported such a regime must be racist and doesn’t deserve to be admired or respected by me. But I admire and respect the late Baroness, so I had to find out myself wh...
