Long before Arminius, Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) had taught the possibility of losing one’s salvation. Can Saint Augustine who upheld so many unbiblical teachings be trusted? “I should not believe the Gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church” (St. Augustine, Against the Epistle of Manichaean Called Fundamental, 5, 6). Can Catholicism be more authoritative than the Bible? In fashioning purgatorial establishment of Catholicism, “Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment” (St. Augustine of Hippo, Father and Doctor of the Church, The City of God). Purgatory runs contrary to Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” so, how can this teaching stand, biblically. Antagonism against security of salvation: it spread like wild fire with the teaching of Jacobus Arminius: he got it from Saint Augustine who also received it from Bishop Cyprian of Carthage (c. 210-258 A.D.), one of the so-called Church Fathers– a creation of Catholicism – of whom many of their teachings uphold the illegitimacy of Popery headship of the universal body of Christ. Cyprian believed in infant baptism and infant communion. Cyprian however spoke against the efficiency of baptism done by heretics and insisted on their rebaptism, and he believed that the Eucharist cannot be properly consecrated outside the church. The Catholic Church believes that at the water baptism is when one gets born again, quite contrary to Scripture. Who does one believe, Jesus or the Church Fathers of Catholicism? Has Catholicism more authority than Pauline epistles to the Church?Read More

Honestly, I want to believe that some Christians would want to believe that they did God a favour which, otherwise, would have resulted in the failure which would have chimed reverberations through eternity if they had not stood in the gap of adhering to His call. They probably believe they saved that eternal shame. It will not surprise me if such people think that God would not have had His desire met; and that failure would stare at His Almighty's eternal visage for the rest of His eternal life. They believe they participated in this salvation. Thinking that one has a hand in this Divine salvation leads to believing that this salvation can be lost. Logical trajectory of human cogitation will tend towards the conclusion that a salvation that has human participation can, definitely, slip out of one’s hands if one commits a sin which constitutes a breaking away from God’s covenant. Can salvation be truly insecure? Of salvation, I know of several scriptures that teach irreversibility of soteriology, two of which are Jude 1:1 and 1Corinthians 3:15. Jude makes it clear that this divine salvation is an act of foregoneness. In the eternity past, God the Father had looked into the future; had taken note of those who would, from their hearts, decide to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. What did He do, according to Scriptural revelation? He wound round those people, even before the creation of Adam, what the Greek calls hagiazo, setting us apart, from the evil world of Satanism, unto Himself. We were reverentially cleansed even before we got officially regenerated spiritually, in His Majestic sight. Did the LORD God stop there? He did not. He went a spiritual step ahead to tēreō us in the fashion of refrigeratory custody in Christ, ensuring being guarded from loss – this is strictly a matter of divine maintenance of our salvation.Read More

That which counterfeits other ways of salvation is the unresolved lacunary sin question issue in their teachings. The Incarnation of Christ absolutely addresses the annihilating sin question. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). Everything both unseen and those that allow attraction of perceptibility are the things of Christ’s creative hands. Most definitely, salvation of the soul of man cannot be authored by any other save Jesus. There is no doubt, given what the religious globe leans on, that Nimro-Semiramis (sun/moon worship) is prevalent, probably having more human adherence. It had its commencement in postdiluvian kingdom of Nimrod. After the death of Nimrod, Semiramis, his wife, apotheosized her late husband and she assumed the apotheotic state of the moon goddess; and together with Tammuz, her son, the global sun worship had its own trinity of Satanism. After the fall of Babel this Nimro-Semiramism metamorphosed into its Egyptian version of Osiris, Isis and Horus. Empires after empires that continue to rise up embraced the sun worship. Re is the Egyptian sun god; Surya in Hinduism; Helios among the people of Greece; Sol in the Roman Empire; Mithra in Persia; Utu among the Sumerians; and Shamash in Babylonian and other Semitic areas. As Sol Invictus its worship is the “Unconquered Sun” widely celebrated (globally) on December 25. A subtle acceptance of sun worship is prevalent in Catholicism and the Islamic adoption of the ‘star and the crescent’ religious symbolism (Please, visit my two parts post “THE STAR AND THE CRESCENT (part one)” by clicking on this link: https://hoojewale.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/the-star-and-the-crescent-part-one …).Read More

Let us see Jehovah's reaction to all the sanguinaceous activities of the Temple. "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats" [Isaiah 1:11]. These slaughtering stem from the carnal proclivities of religious insincerity, as far as God is concerned. John 3:13 is laden with so much profundity; "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." There was no way Mohammed could have been what Jesus claims to be here in John 3:13. Only the unique Son of God could perfect this stunt of being present in heaven and on earth simultaneously! Muhammad could not go the whole hog of John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." It entails His Sonship, which Muhammad grossly lacked. An interesting point concerning this religion is that one is never really sure about his salvation. Muslims can do all the right things and still not be saved because Allah may decide to consider you deficient in some way or another that only he knows. With Islam, the only sure way to be in paradise is by inflicting death through jihad (killing, or dying in the defence of Muhammadan faith). It reads in Al-Baqara, the 2nd chapter of the Qur’an verse 62, “Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the Sabians; anyone who believes in God, and believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.” Where is Jesus in this verse? Is the Author of salvation not missing in Muhammadanism?Read More

The desire to create ways of divine life as envisaged by man’s philosophy points to having received initiation into Satanism. Ophidian creep and pad, into an intelligent mind, is responsible for human philosophical inventions. Without Jesus, one can do anything, absolutely. “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” are the express words from the mouth of Jesus in John 15:5. Confucianism believes in the gregarious paradise attained by human good doing without the needed mighty hand of Jehovah, by Whose covenant Abraham became God’s friend, Jacob metamorphosed to Israel – the Prince by the right side of the empyrean Majesty –; and by Whom also the New Testamentary order put zōē (dzo-ay') back into His children of Christianity. Amen. Confucianism believes in the gregarious paradise attained by human good doing without the needed mighty hand of Jehovah, by Whose covenant Abraham became God’s friend, Jacob metamorphosed to Israel – the Prince by the right side of the empyrean Majesty –; and by Whom also the New Testamentary order put zōē (dzo-ay') back into His children of Christianity. Amen. Laozi is the founder of Taoism. Taoism or Daoism is a type of belief, or a way of thinking about life. It is at least 2,500 years old and said to be a philosophy traditionally founded by Lao-tzu that teaches conformity to the Tao by unassertive action and simplicity. It is a religion developed from Taoist philosophy and folk and Buddhist religion and concerned with obtaining long life and good fortune often by magical means. Instead of spending a lot of time trying to explain what the Tao is, Taoists focus on living a simple and balanced life in harmony with nature. It is a religion that strives for balance in life. One of the main ideas of Taoism is the belief in balancing forces, or yin and yang. These ideas represent matching pairs, such as light and dark, hot and cold, action and inaction, which work together toward a universal whole which is the main goal of this practice. Taoists have no deity or worship rituals. The main activity is the effort to be in harmony with the Tao and thus live a balanced life.Read More

The ninth and final consciousness, known as the Buddha nature (or Namu-myoho-renge-kyo[3][14]), forms the foundations for one’s life. It is the amala-consciousness, meaning the “purest”,[4] and cannot be tarnished by any of the karmic energy from the previous eight levels. I know what the Bible says concerning man’s philosophy. “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Yes, man robed himself in an inordinate crave to miss the mark of Divine standard in Eden. It was an act of disobedience to the express word of the Creator and not because of an imperfect Eden. There in the Garden, God performed the ritual of salvation. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). Divine prescription for a spiritually ailing Adamic creature is the use of a recumbent animal for sin offering. We have a corroborating verse in 2Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Human philosophy fails to address the sin question. Romans 3:23-24 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Confucianism believes that virtuous living fostered by conformity and harmony will give you heaven on earth. When people conform to the right way of living they will create a society that works well - a social paradise. There is no formal worship of a Deity or belief in the afterlife. Without “Me” – Christ – there is no harmonious conformity between heaven and earth. Read More

Mankind is too fraught with sinfulness to appear before God unaided spiritually. Without Jesus, the Second Member of the Godhead, there is no justification at all before the thrice holy God, the Almighty. Pauline Holy Spirit – the Third Member of the Godhead – inspired teaching continues in the next verse with: “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith” (Romans 3:27). Religious self-afflictive ritualism of asceticism tends to puff up egoism, making one to believe that one is capable of doing something about Adamic fall. What saves an Adamic fallen creature is the finished work of the cross. “Where,” as Paul asks, “is boasting?” The law of absolute faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, renders it faux pas. Amen! According to Buddhism teachings, what is stopping attainment of happiness are unconscious attachments to a lesser self.Read More

I do understand that we have different theological beliefs based on the didactic stance of individual’s religion of profession. I cannot be unwise enough to force my biblical orientation on anybody. Anyone, as free moral agent, has the volitional will to embrace any spiritual way of life. But it should, I understand, be known that anyone who jettisons the teachings of the Bible definitely does it at his own peril. Selah! If God’s protocolary documentation disciplines us to understand that “by their fruits ye shall know them”, the prophet of Ahura Mazda has evidently shown a marked distinction between Jehovah and Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda, the wise lord, albeit, all-wise this god worshipped by Xerses of Babylon lacks the quiddity of the Omnipotent Jehovah Jesus. It took eternality of power to have wrought the soteriology. God the Father used His Omnipotence to bring Jesus Christ back from death in order to actuate the soteriology. Amen. The God of the Bible is the true Author of salvation. The difference between Ahura Mazda and Jehovah is in the definitions of their names; one is ‘Wise Lord’ and the other is ‘I Am That I Am’. Jehovah is the covenant name of salvation. Jehovah means “One Who is, by His own power!”Read More

Hodos establishes the facticity of “for without Me ye can do nothing!” So, what does “I AM, Way, Truth and Life” prognosticate? It undoubtedly establishes the Deity of Jesus. Hinduism treads on metaphysical approach. The thing is that, any attempt at metaphysical hodos that has not the foundation of the Bible is an absolute esotericism based on Satanism. “There is a way that seemeth right,” King Solomon warns. Zoroastrianism – Their idea of salvation is that if the individual struggles against evil and wins, they go into the place called heaven. Therefore, their concept of salvation: a winning struggle against evil in one's life. Zoroaster’s Ahura Mazdā is the personification of good. This God of Zoroastrianism is in constant struggle with the evil force of Angra Mainyu (also referred to in later texts as "Ahriman") for supremacy. Can Lucifer stand in contention with the God of the Bible of Whom it is written: “Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. Our hope must continually lean on Jesus, the Author of salvation. Universalism is alien to Scripture. Origen grew up on the foundation of Catholicism, therefore, I cannot be surprised if he should mute the concept of universal salvation.Read More

John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” No ordinary man could have uttered this statement. Only the Author of the soteriological phenomenality, God Himself, will say, “Without Me.” Atman, in Sanskrit, is the true self of an individual, the essence of an individual. Samsāra is outright misnomer viewed from Scriptural perspective; it teaches reincarnation of Adamic beings. The eighth incarnation of Vishnu resulted in the epiphanous twelve years old Krishna in Hinduism. Why he must manifest as a twelve-year-old definitely masquerades the Christological quiddity. Without the image of the Christ, no religion comes into operation. There is only one Incarnation: the Christological event on the terra firma. Hinduism believes that heaven and hell are temporary abodes. If it truly is, Abraham would have used it to console the rich man in the afterlife teaching of Jesus in Luke 16:19-31. There are no known paths of physical exercises leading to salvation as Krishna discussed with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. Salvation is not an attainability through religious ritualism of human exertion. It is purely of the finished work of the Divinity.Read More

What is incontrovertibly clear is the biblical account of Genesis 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” This was the unveiling of the soteriology, where the clothing in righteousness offered them the second chance: the blood of the sinless for the revival of the sinner. If the LORD God of the Old Testament did take a physical walk into the Eden Garden to be theAuthor of this salvation, it cannot be the First Member of the Godhead, the Father, or the Holy Spirit, the Third Member of the Godhead; the Divine Visitant was none other than the Second Member of the Godhead, Christ the Creator (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2 and Revelation 1:8). Nimrod, no doubt, is, in my stern belief, the most worshipped deity alongside his wife, Semiramis. Genesis 10:8-9 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” Being a great grandson of Noah, Nimrod probably lived in the nineteenth century BCE. Of inestimable importance is the salvation of human soul. Who should or could be the first to make an offer of salvation among these and many others? The soteriology, as presented in the Bible, is not an act of self-help. A spiritually fallen Adamic entity lays helplessly, a vegetable, in spiritual terms. Hindu encouragement of “effort at self-improvement through a series of reincarnated lives until they reach the final stage of merging with Brahma” is purely the goading of Satanism. Of the sinful nature of man, does the good Book not make the revelatory “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” in Ezekiel 18:4? The Word of God teaches in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” all because Psalm 51:5 gives the exegetical “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”Read More

The casting of lots is Old Testamentary form of enquiring from the God of the Bible. The question here is, why would they find it expedient to fill an office Jesus left unattended to in all the forty days He was with them after His resurrection? How come none of the disciples approached Jesus with a good candidate of a discipleship suggestion? The One Who sees the hearts of men chooses who to work with Him. Methinks it is strictly the prerogative of the Author of salvation to choose His Apostles? None knows like the Lord, of Whom it is written in John 6:70, “Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” Why would the Lord, Who knows it all add unto Himself, the devil? Like every free moral agent of Adamic progeny, Judas must be given an opportunity to choose between the Light and the darkness. Judas represented the ultimate Antichrist, who must hear the gospel of salvation, make a choice whether to continue to follow Lucifer, and perish or come unto Jesus, after having laboured in the religion of Satanism, heavily laden, and receive rest. There is another reason for allowing an unbelieving Judas Iscariot in the Kingdom of God fold. John 17:12 “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”Read More

In the Book of Numbers 21:5 and 6, the recalcitrant Israel spoke against the LORD God and His Providence, loathing the bread – the signification of the body of Jesus broken for our redemption. So, in the 6th verse God sent fiery serpents against disbelievers of the Actuator of what they represent: twelve. They did not even know that it was the Redeemer of Israel that they spoke contumaciously against. And what was the solution to the serpentine blitzkrieg: for heaven above dealt with them using the wickedness of terra firma? His anger would not let Him destroy them utterly; knowing the manner in which He will save the world, the Lord chose its adumbration. Numbers 21:8 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.” In the Book of Numbers 21:5 and 6, the recalcitrant Israel spoke against the LORD God and His Providence, loathing the bread – the signification of the body of Jesus broken for our redemption.

Matthew 9:20 “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:” this is the first time ‘twelve' is mentioned in the New Testament. She came behind Jesus, as Reverend Chris Okotie taught, because she is the Israel of the Old Testamentary order. None received eternal salvation that made use of recumbent animal as the sacrificial element. The LORD of twelve was using the woman of issue of blood to transit from the Old to the New Testamentary Order when He had to visit the twelve year old girl, the daughter of Jairus. The sick woman who had spent all she had on her ailment signified Israel, from this theological understanding, as being badly haemorrhagic spiritually. Twelve, being our Emmanuel, has removed the stiffness of religious preclusion. Twelve, having to do with mankind, came with healing and restoration. Without the essence of twelve, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Five is the number of grace. Jesus is the discernibility of the grace of God to all nations, Whose earthly appearance, on account of the soteriology, is inevitable. The grace of Jesus translates into the salvific potency of twelve, His number. A careful study of the testimonial story of the feeding of the five thousand will prove that, with the inclusion of women and children, there were probably 18,000 people at that crusade. The remaining baskets full of fishes and loaves points to the superabundance of twelve in divine Providence: socially, physically and spiritually.Read More

The Messianic reality of establishment coming from the given Son further establishes the Incarnation. The birth of the child underscores the emergence of the Second Man – the second six or twelve –, the Last Adam, being the most enigmatic One to tread upon the surface of terra firma. The Lord from the Rainbow Administration of the empyrean assizes cannot be born: for a being of Adamic procreation begins life in the womb. The Christ, Whose goings forth is from eternality of the timeless past, can only be given, ergo, the Incarnation. Amen. His Incarnation brought the timelessness of the Christ into the time of our world. Seven days for a week accounts for the perfection of His being. Twelve number of months for every year makes Him the Owner of our days. In the heavenly assizes, there are twenty-four lesser thrones forming an arc round the empyrean Majesty. The twenty-four elders represent the perfect Church that does not fail to give the true latria to the Most High Jehovah, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. The first time the number twelve appears in Scripture is in Genesis 14:4 “Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.” This number of soteriological significance easily translates service. Chedorlaomer’s tyranny forced five kingdoms under its domination for twelve years. They failed to stay liberated because they bypassed Christ, the true Owner of the number twelve, believing in their physical warring strength. It took the number of grace – five – for Abraham, friend of Christ, the LORD of Psalm 24, to redeem Lot from Chedorlaomer’s grip. They were five kingdoms only in physical numeration, denying the power of the grace of God, hence, they failed to break successfully from the tyrannical grip of Chedorlaomer.Read More

One of the comforting things about God is His remembering stance. In Genesis 8:1 God remembered Noah and the living things of the ark, and made sure they came out to live their normal lives again. In Genesis 19:29, God remembered what His conversation with Abraham concluded on and saved Lot in the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis 30:22 God remembered Rachel, who had been barren for some years. In the Book of Exodus 2:24 God heard the cries of Israel when they wallowed in Egyptian bondage, because He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God did not forget His promise to Sarah. Genesis 21:1 “And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.” God knew what atrocities man would perpetrate, and what looks like a grieving surprise to the Almighty is certainly not so. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Knowing that God feels what we feel will draw a wise person very close to Him and this knowledge should bind a wise person to the God, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Sharing an attribute with the Deity is mind-blowing awesomeness! The Bible tells us that God did rest.Read More

God never goes into any business and loses because He, the LORD God, does not commit errors. This is the huge picture Bible readers fail to acknowledge: it is all about Jesus and the salvation of mankind. The right person must occupy the Israeli patriarchy that must produce the Saviour of the world: this is the biggest theological deal. The blessings of the first born, having been given to a manipulator, and ostensibly having the hand of God, what should a reasonable Esau do? Congratulate his twin brother, of course, for receiving favour of God. He should be ready to work with him to make things easy for the next in line of divine mission. Marriage to ungodliness is unacceptable; Esau married from Ishmael simply to spite Isaac, the man of God. The things God hates, He knew beforehand, Esau would love. God, ergo, hated Esau, an Antichrist ambassador of Lucifer. How can one be so consumed in audacity and fail woefully to acknowledge that there is no way anyone will disrespect the Holy One of Israel, Who indubitably wields the unconquerable Omnipotence, is also the matchless Omniscience and is the unimaginable Omnipresence as well, and the offending idiot will go without punishment?Read More

Grief is not, in reality, a part of Him. He brings out a damning emotion for us to see, so that we should show an earnest need for His compassion. This readily obtainable compassion Cain tragically rejected. Pauline exegesis on Mosaic wilderness experience couch explains God’s emotional discharge in Hebrews 3:10 and 17. As the LORD, God, Creator, Owner and Controller of all things and beings, His laws remain sacrosanct forever. Adamic creation received dos and do-nots. He was very angry with the antediluvian age to the point of its extirpation; but He must preserve humanity to actualize Genesis 3:15, therefore, after keeping the eight antediluvian saints in Noah’s ark, it was time to destroy those who defiantly oppose the Rainbow Administration and of the Owner of all lives: as if He had not warned them of the impending annihilation. Noah preached to the dying world for one hundred and twenty years! God had been gentlemanly enough in warning them.Read More

The hand that was worthy of recipience must be equally eternal. The eternality of worthiness cannot be found in any other save Jesus Christ. Another mind-blowing awesomeness of this celestial drama was that at this material moment Jesus, the man of Nazareth, had fused – in the hypostatic union – into the eternality of the Christ. Adamic elevation also stretched that arm in the empyrean assizes to take the scroll. God did not just decide to make Adam to look like Him anatomically, Jehovah had decided to elevate man to the status of God as well. Ponderous, if you see this phenomenon. In anthropomorphic terms, God the Father stretched His eternal hand, holding the scroll, and the eternality of Christ received the scroll. The LORD God first had hair on His Divine head before applying similar fine tiny strands in anatomical adornment on Adamic caput. Why did God not decide to make man a headless entity? If He had created Adam without an anatomical caput, mankind will be incomplete as far as ‘in Our likeness' is scripturally concerned, in fact, the anthropopathic extension to Adam will suffer a setback. It is that head that accounts for “and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” of the same verse. Hallelujah!Read More

Genesis 1:26 validates the anthropopathism and anthropomorphism of God. While the anthropopathism of God shows that the LORD God is never without empathy, which He poured forth on mankind, the Person of the Second Member of the Godhead, Jesus, is the Actuator of God’s compassion to save Adam. Anthropomorphism of the Creator is evidentiary when one looks at Adam’s head, limbs and torso. How, tell me, can His proximity to the sculptural piece of Adam in Eden be so pellucid, and the human mind will only see Him as a mere Potter and not apprehend the soteriology? The use of the nose shows the human likeness of God; but it should also be noted that God does not depend on the nose to supply Him with life supporting oxygen. God is the very essence of life. He is too complete to need air through organic lungs. It is, ergo, absurd to think of Jehovah in a respiratory act, as He sits on the throne. Scriptural documentation tells us that God has ears.Read More
