Who Is The True Author Of Salvation? (Six)

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

SCRIPTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF TWELVE (IV)

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
