Who Is The True Author Of Salvation? (One)
Who is the true Author of salvation?
1) Conversely, can one be incorrect to say that the likes of Zoroaster, Confucius, Gautama Buddha, Laozi and Krishna should, or maybe, could be the true person of the salvation of the soul simply because they lived before the birth of Jesus. Muhammad is, no doubt, as far as rationalism is considered, a good contender for the leader of humanity into the empyrean eternal blissfulness. In order of time Hinduism of Krishna dates around 15th to 10th century BCE; Zoroaster (c. 1000 BCE); Gautama Buddha of Buddhism (563-483 BCE); Confucius of Confucianism (551-479); Laozi of Taoism (369-286). Muhammad, born in 570 A.D., began to hoist the flag of Islam in 610 A.D. at age forty. Can we leave out the deistic challenge of Nimro-Semiramis, headed by the first king of the world, Nimrod?
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?
And God clothed them (Genesis 3:21)
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). The Eden event occurred probably less than a decade after the creation of Adam; the calculation of which translates into centuries before the emergence of Nimrod, the first to appear in postdiluvian history among the other human religious leaders. So, who is this LORD God – the first Preacher of the eventual destruction of evil (Genesis 3:15) and the Righteous robing Forgiver in Genesis 3:21 – of Eden? He is Jesus Christ. Amen.
So, shall we look into the teachings of these religious leaders, beginning with Nimrod? Of Nimrod the Bible records, “He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD” (Genesis 10:9). The word ‘before’, the Hebraic pânı̂ym (paw-neem’) means: ‘the face (as the part that turns); used in a great variety of applications (literally and figuratively); also (with prepositional prefix) as a preposition (before, etc.); to say and do any thing to any one’s face, i.e. freely, frankly, and even often impudently and insolently, in contempt of him.’ The impudent latter definition is the contextual understanding of what Nimrod did.
Sun (Nimrod), mother (Semiramis) and baby (Tammuz): the Nimro-Semiramis worship.
He was, as the Bible teaches in context, ‘a hunter of men,’ – after he had killed many beasts of immense danger to humans – ‘impertinently before the LORD;’ and being a great grandson of Noah, he had been taught that the good LORD God is, without question, watching every innocent blood he had shed. He did not, a hoot, care: being an Antichrist. Nimrod led by inimical idolatrous example, quite against the admonitions of Noah, whom God had raised for the salvation of humanity, when the LORD God was fed up with the antediluvian wickedness. Nimrodic mission run diametrically in opposite exercise to what Noah, God’s prophet of the antediluvian and the commencement of the postdiluvian years, stood for and taught. Nimrod would spite Noah’s office to begin where old Cain stopped. There is no doubt, given what the religious globe leans on, that Nimro-Semiramis (sun/moon) worship is prevalent, having, probably, most human adherence.
Krishna: In the practice of Hinduism, the idea of salvation or the way to salvation is by eliminating evil in your life until you are pure enough to merge with Brahma. In Hinduism, Deity does not have an individual personality, it is a force. Hindus continue in this effort at self-improvement through a series of reincarnated lives until they reach the final stage of merging with Brahma. The prohibition against killing cows for food stems from the belief that cows are the final reincarnated form one attains before merging with Brahma. (From a post “Salvation in Hinduism”).
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.”
Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:
“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
