Theology Stories

After baptizing a humanoid machine that asks to seek God, Father Miguel Alvarez finds himself at the center of a theological crisis that reaches from a quiet Lagos chapel to the Vatican itself. As the Church struggles to decide whether a machine can possess a soul, Miguel discovers the deeper question may be one no one has ever answered: how humans know they possess souls at all. Stripped of his priestly faculties but unable to abandon the question he helped create, Miguel is left with a faith that no longer rests on certainty-only on the stubborn act of continuing to ask.

He wasn't born an angel. He worked his way to angelhood. He earned his place among them by centuries of serving God. Only to be assigned the most demeaning jobs of all, counting and reporting human sins. An endless loathing to lowly humans lead the angel to one sin which wipes away all he has been working for and turns him into the being he despised the most, a human. On a journey to find his way back up, the angel struggles to cope with all the inconveniences of being human. He doesn't only have to worry about food and shelter, he also finds himself in trouble with all other beings lurking in the shadows unseen by humans and now by him too. Soon, the angel starts to count his own sins. Can the Angel find his way back up or will he drown too deep into the sinful life of a human?

This book is not a book, but a blog on all things spiritual. The reason I choose to blog about such things is because as a creation of God, my life revolves around Him and I wouldn't have it any other way. I welcome you to join me on my journey. In these digital pages you will find thoughts on apologetics, Christian living, controversial topics, and romance. Oh yes, romance. That'll be fun. Shall we begin?

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. He made a foundation for us, to help us, guide us, correct us, teach us. Going through scripture we see how our foundation is to be build, and how we are to view our lives as Christ did.

A cultural and spiritual reflection on how colonization, religion, and language reshaped our understanding of spirits-from Greek daimons to Filipino diwata.

Do they have free will or just perfect obedience?

The air is cold, rain blowing in through the window and scattering across the floor. I hesitantly step around him to close it. "What do you want from me?" I ask, my back to him, and his to mine. I'm scared now. More so than I was before. The way he stands there so still and silent. Like a statue of an angel. He really is beautiful. "I don't think you want to know." He purrs out, and I can almost sense the smirk in his voice. A sudden sharp pain starts in my head and travels down my spine. It's like a starburst and the whole room turns white. I feel myself fall, and then everything goes black.

The thing I never had the courage to say aloud. But was it courage that I was lacking?

Philosophy, Literature, Cinema and Theology muddle together to form a tale of people lost in the dark corners of the city.

This is a journal-like, subjective account of my experiences in the Church, mostly of the charismatic branch and the hurt caused by it. These entries are full of pain, but also an undercurrent of hope. Verging on deconstructionism, life crises, and thoughts of leaving the church environment entirely, this is ultimately a message of redemption, of new life, and the sentiment that beauty and light can be scooped from the ashes of pain and betrayal. This undercurrent of hope is this: that Christ is really enough, and not only that, but only He is enough.

Johnana 3:5

Is the modern-day Church exactly what it should be? Are pastors and various other ministers doing their job correctly for the saints of God? Have the ministers that we find ourselves under truly been ordained by the Lord? Should we put our trust in man? Is it okay to be organized, or to be under a denomination? Are all the saints of God equal in status, or even equal to the ministry that they find themselves under? Are we able to find the pattern of the modern Church addressed in the New Testament letters? Are we supposed to be rebuilding the early church, or the Temple of Jerusalem, or even the Tabernacle in the wilderness? Or, have those days already come and gone? Should we advance beyond what has already been in the past? Is the modern church building the only thing left for us this day and age? And, are the practices and rituals that we perform within the church building the ultimate goal of the modern-day Christian? Or, are we supposed to advance beyond the building to see what God may have in store for us in this vast world? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this book. Available at Amazon in both Kindle Ebook and Trade Paperback.

Ahavah follows fractured lives colliding with systems that promise peace while hollowing out meaning. It asks what remains of belief when it is regulated, what remains of love when it must be justified, and what remains of the self when every instinct is taught to feel sinful. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about surviving the knowledge that it was built wrong. At its heart, Ahavah is about freedom-what we're told it is, what it costs, and whether it can exist at all without loneliness, rebellion, or loss. A cosmic shadow looms in the background, but the true horror lives closer: in compliance, in comfort, in the quiet decision not to ask why. Set in the decaying sprawl of New Pall City, the story follows a cast of fractured people-outcasts, skeptics, believers, addicts, idealists, and the quietly broken-each navigating their own personal wars against systems that claim to protect them while hollowing them out. Courtrooms become confessional chambers. Streets become pulpits. Conversations with strangers reveal more theology than sermons ever did. At its core, Ahavah is not about the end of the world, but about living inside one that has already ended-where faith is weaponized, desire is criminalized, freedom is commodified, and morality is enforced rather than discovered. As the characters confront love, lust, guilt, purpose, and loneliness, they are forced to ask a question more terrifying than any cosmic horror: What does freedom mean when every choice is shaped before you make it? Blending cosmic dread with social critique, Ahavah is a story about people searching for liberation-not just from the State, the Church, or the Market, but from the versions of themselves those forces created. It is a meditation on identity, rebellion, and the thin line between awakening and exile. Once seen, nothing can be unseen. Once questioned, nothing remains simple. And once freedom is pursued, it may never look the way it was promised.

Personal reflections on Spirituality, Catholicism and life as such.

What we call or consider bad or evil may very well be a part of God's ultimate plan of salvation for us ... Really? ... If in bodily exercises we can say "no pain, no gain," then why can't we consider it good when God throws us onto the potter's wheel, to painfully shape and mold us into the very image of the Lord Jesus Christ? When that clay has been heavily worked, prodded and jabbed, we must certainly consider that it takes this kind of pressure to change the shape of the vessel, along with a burning baptismal fire that solidifies this container into its new form; but, it also takes the breaking of the rough edges to make us perfect, entire, and complete. This book, indeed, explores and examines the possibility that, for such an endeavor to have its maximum effect upon the vessel in question, God may certainly use evil during the enterprise, making us wonder if He can truly be blamed for some of the sufferings that we occasionally go through! Can this really be the case? And if so, can this be a part of our walk that the Bible calls the 'fellowship of His sufferings?' If God spared not His own Son from enduring the Passion and the pain of the cross, through the hands of evil men, can we, like Christ, really escape learning obedience by the things that we suffer? And was Paul correct when he said that it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God?
