Every promise points to the coming Jesus

(…continues from part 3…)

4)            Let it suffice that all these faith encounters point to soteriological quiddity of which Christ is the divine personification. Dr. Abel Damina is quite conversant with these theological facts but he disappointingly chooses to teach unscriptural stuffs. God knows what he intends to gain giving himself to the teaching the people of God the wrongness of eisegesis. Hebrews 11:39 “And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:” meaning that they did not witness the Incarnation of the Saviour of the world. The grand design of faith in Christ Jesus is to open the door of salvation. Romans 15:8 “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:” in that He became the minister for the salvation of the physical Israel whose circumcision is mere ritualism. Jesus brought, as Jehovah’s Servant, the true and the living way. His ministry is Messianic. Romans 9:8-9 8) “That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9) For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.” Remember that God would not accommodate the son of Hagar, even though Ishmael was the first born. Soteriological establishment only has the Divine recognition of Isaac.

Cast out this bondwoman and her son:…bondwoman shall not be heir with my son (Genesis 21:10)

                Genesis 21:10 “Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.” Sarah’s ire was never theologically unfounded: for Paul, under the strict supervision of the Holy Spirit, wrote, “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23) But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise” (Galatians 4:22-23). How did Ishmael end up? With a twelve-tribe nations, each headed by his own biological sons; without biblical record of calling on the LORD God of Israel, totally deficient of Christological soteriology. Doomed: no wonder God chose Isaac over Ishmael who should have been accorded the double portion of the traditional firstborn. Ishmael did not even get a tenth of one portion.

                Salvation of the soul of man must come through Jesus. Galatians 3:16-19 16) “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18) For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19) Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.” Jesus is the germinal Entity from Whose Person springs the well of salvation. The promise was made looking into the future, to the Incarnation of Emmanuel, by Whose blood true mediation comes to its consummation.

                Galatians 3:29 “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 4:23 “But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.” While Ishmael represented the legality of religious ritualism that leads not to the soul’s salvation, Isaac is the prefiguration of the Messiah. Adamic existence depends solely on the Messiah for redemption. The Promise is absolutely free from any legality. God Himself takes the responsibility of its continuation and enternality of its security. What emanated from the bondwoman, incongruous to Divine purpose, lacks Godliness; however, the product of the freewoman conforms to the eternal counsel of the Divinity: for this reason the LORD God chose not Ishmael. Salvation must be a perfect mirroring of Scripture. Dr. Abel Damina is quite conversant with these theological facts but he disappointingly chooses to teach unscriptural stuffs. So far, I find it difficult to see a worse teacher of eisegesis than Dr. Abel Damina. I, honestly, cannot help telling myself, “When it comes to the exegesis of the Bible, Dr. Damina is simply a weirdo.” Exegesis is reading out of God’s word, i.e. teaching God’s protocol strictly according to the Bible.

                Hebrews 7:6 “But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.” The Abrahamic tithe placed the execution of the soteriology solely in the Almighty hands of the Most High Jehovah. Divine orchestration is always indubitability of awesomeness! Amen.

                Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. Say this sinner’s 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!”
