The ultimate truth

  God is the author of all true science but the devil uses and misuses the science for his own evil and destructive purposes. Devil cannot create anything but can only use what God has created. John 1: 9 tells us that the true light comes into the world and enlightens every person. Because of the enlightenment caused by this divine light there is so much of scientific advancement.

   One of the important branches of modern science is the study of human anatomy. Today we have much information about the different glands in human body. There are so many glands in human body which produce different kinds of chemical fluids which in turn create certain desires and attitudes in us.

   The modern biological science tells us that some people are hyper sexual because of the hyperactivity of certain glands in their body. Certain hormones in the body create the desire for physical sexual relation. If the concerned glands do not function properly and the required hormones are not present in the body, the person becomes frigid and disinterested in sex. The doctors inject the required hormones into the bodies of such people. By and by there is an increasing conviction in the society that glands are the root cause of the individuality of the person.

   But this is only half truth and half truth is more dangerous than a total lie. It is true that glands mould and shape one’s individuality but it is also true that the individuality and the determinate will of a person also rules and guides the conduct of the glands!

   We know that fans create breeze. When fans are rotating they create breeze. But sometimes there is a power cut or the fans are switched off. A powerful natural breeze comes into the room and the blades of the fans are moved and they begin to rotate, though at a low speed. This is a good illustration of the interdependence of human character and human glands.

   When the glands function we have certain desires. But when deliberately oppose those evil desires with our determinate will and intelligently try to create holy thoughts and desires in our minds even our own glands will turnaround and cooperate with our mind. This is the way a Christian must cultivate holy thought life and holy conduct. Praise God that we even have the Holy Spirit to help us in this holy exercise. This is the ultimate truth of the whole matter. May God help us to understand and be guided by truth.
