When Okonkwo final realized there would be no war, no more fighting, and there would be a big change in the Ibo land and among the Ibo people, he did something a “real” man would have never done, he committed suicide. “ It is an abomination for a man to take his own life.”(207).

We have all heard this story before: “I will never join the Lord’s church. There are just too many hypocrites.” We often dismiss this argument as foolish, and for good reason. But what if these people have a point? If every congregation of the Lord’s people did an intensive self-examination, it is probable each one would find several hypocrites in their midst.

The concept of Satan as an ‘evil spirit’ in our modern day definition exists a great number of times as a made-up superstition; on the contrary, the ancients believed they had a real life spiritual force that steadily advanced through time.
