JOHN 3 VERSE 16 AND ISLAM (Five)

0 Comments
The ‘whosoever’ is in reference to anyone who would believe the gospel of salvation through Christ Jesus, Whose mission to the world was to bring the light of salvation to the world, sacrifice Himself substitutionally, thereby providing the new and the living way: of eternal consequence. In all occurrences of phenomenality, the Fatherhood of the Son and the Spirit is the most astounding conundrum. John 3:16 is the sole, Divine solution to the sin question. Muhammad’s Allah says he has no ‘son’; the LORD God of the Bible says, “This is My beloved Son in Whom I Am well pleased.” Which one of Allah and Jehovah is the true God? Muhammad taught in An-Nisa’ 4:157 “…“Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it…. And they did not kill him, for certain.” What does one make of the asseveration of Jesus in John 10:17-18 “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” The Lord Jesus prognosticated His Golgotha death according to the will of God the Father. And what does it connote by the fact that He has both the power to lay down His life – in death – and to take it back – coming back to life? Jesus simply tells us that He has the power of Divinity! Which of the Christian God – Jehovah – and the Islamic God – Allah – is to be believed? Selah! Jesus, indeed, died to save the world. Praise the LORD! Read More

Genesis 3:15, written about two thousand years before Muhammad’s recitations of the Qur’an reads, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Davidic writing, couched over a thousand years before Muhammadan advent says in Psalm 22:1 “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” Psalm 22:17 “I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.” Also Muhammad recited the words of Allah in (Yunus) 10:68 “They have said, “Allah has taken a son.” Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this [claim]. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?” The New Testament account of the crucifixion takes its authority in the verses of Old Testament. Exodus 24:8 “And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.” Psalm 22:18 “They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.” This was fulfilled in John 19:23 “Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.” Read More

Genesis 22:12 “And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.” It was important for Abraham to be made to give up his son, Isaac, the second of the three patriarchs, giving God the legality of giving up also the Second Member of the Godhead for the salvation of man. Mark 12:6-7 “Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 7) But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our’s.” This parable Jesus told His audience in an intimation of His substitutionary death. To provide the soteriology its eternal feet of legality, it was necessitous, the day before the Passion Week, to enter the legalistic chambers of Mosaic script and make amendment suitable for the Church Age of the grace dispensation, when He said, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20).Read More

The Trinity is truly involved in this salvation: the Father shows His abundant love by the appearance of Jesus, our Saviour. Our sinful gene got renewed by the Holy Spirit for the consummation of righteousness that makes us eternal heirs of the Divinity. Does Islam believe in Adamic heirship of the Divinity? Muhammad hates the idea of Jehovah having children. Al-Isra’ is the 17th chapter of the Qur’an, verse 111 reads, “And say, “Praise to Allah, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification.”” The Christian heirship is borne out of the fact of Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Of Scriptural truth, our filial propinquity is well captured in Ephesians 1:3-6. The love of God is responsible for His beneficence towards the sending of Jesus Christ to be the propitiation for our sin. Our good deeds are nothing short of Isaiah 64:6 ‘filthy rags’ where the first word, ‛êd (ayd) is: ‘menstrual flux’, and the second beged (behg’-ed) is: ‘garment, clothing (used indiscriminately)'. Our moral righteousness cannot save us. It is the love of God, flowing from the beneficence of His grace is what saves our souls from eternal damnation. Islamic theological belief shares no correlative understanding verse when you look at Sahih al-Bukhari, Hajj (Pilgrimage); Book 25, Hadith 7 Read More

John chapter three verse sixteen is the entire Bible compacted in one single verse. God’s intent and will bespeak its theological posture. God’s responsible stance is seen in His divine care for His creation. His beneficence is the gift of eternal life through the Author of creationism. God’s grand gift to the fallen Adamic creature is the soteriology. Most definitely, all that the LORD God is trying to communicate to mankind is none other than Jesus Christ. One classic Qur’anic chapter of Christ’s divine Sonship vitiation is the 112th, titled Al-Ikhlas of which all the verses of 1-4 reads: “Say, “He is Allah, [who is] One, 2) Allah, the Eternal Refuge. 3) He neither begets nor is born, 4) Nor is there to Him any equivalent.” For this Muhammadan recitation, nothing changes the minds of true Moslems. However, the Bible is the finality of God’s dealings with humanity. The love of God is most evident with the birth of Jesus Christ. Can anyone bring more pronounced peace other than that of the birth of Jesus; is He not the Prince of peace of Isaiah 9:6? God showered His divine love of eternality on creatures of Adam. What else can one expect from the LORD God who has a simple definition of “LOVE”? Read More

From Hebraic etymological understanding shaddai stands for mountain or breast, hence, Shaddai is ‘the many breasted One’, very rich in substances and possessing the capability to feed, sustain and meet all desires of every need and want. Almighty has ten occurrences in the New Testament. Seven times as “Almighty;” once as “the Almighty;” once as “of Almighty,” and once as “omnipotent.” All the New Testamentary occurrences point to God alone. Why would the risen Jesus, “whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting;” apply to Himself “the Almighty” epithet of Divinity? It is simply because He has the same divine essence of His Father and of the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus Christ not the “Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace, on whose shoulder holds the eternality of universal government? In all realms of time: past, present and future He who is Almighty has the capability to take care of all He created both ex nihilo (without existing material) and those He created from existing materials. How can God the Father be good and Jesus, His eternal, express ‘Word', will not be good? Selah!Read More

Who was involved in the Day one to Day six creation? The Lord Jesus was the One directly in physical connection with creationism. The outcome of Day one was “And God saw the light, that it was good.” One day two when the Creator took a look at the earth, the firmament and the seas, the Bible says, “…and God saw that it was good.” For the plants and their fruitfulness, “God saw that it was good.” On the fourth day of the lights, “and God saw that it was good;” was the verdict of the LORD God. “And God saw that it was good” when the animals came into being on day five. “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” (Genesis 1:31). Everything He made was good; the outcome of Day six was very good. If the Author of creationism does good things, it is simply because He is the Good God; He is the Good Shepherd. He must be good to be our Saviour as well.Read More

PROBATION [six]

We need to understand the alpha and omega of probation. It is to bring intelligent beings of God’s creation in alignment with His interest. Devoid of any scintilla of coercion, God wants us to use our free moral agency to do His will absolutely and never doubting the LORD God. Probation of the intelligent beings of creation is actually a blessing in disguise in that those who pass the trials have not only judged Lucifer for failing the obedience test, they stand to enjoy the glorious crowning culmination of the quiddity of divine probation. They will sit beside the Creator in the throne room of the Rainbow Administration of the celestial assizes. This had been the desideration of Lucifer, which he thought could be acquired with cunning forcefulness. He failed woefully trying to earn it. What he lost, God would give to those who satisfy Divine gaze into human probation free of charge.Read More

Let us do some exegetical exercise on the Man, Jesus. He started his life in the matrix of Mary, the wife of Joseph, as a Man of Adam. The theological ascendency of his relevance is the quiddity of his vessel serving as vehicular actuation of the Incarnation. Inside Jesus Christ is the duality of Jehovah and man. Now, if the humanity of the Christ, Jesus, had committed one smidgeon of a sin, the entire soteriological concept would have been awfully defeated, absolutely. As the Last Adam, Jesus never got tired of getting led by the omniscience of Christ in him for every step of earthly endeavours, the LORD of creation, and the Christ continued to expect him not to falter spiritually. For thirty-three years and six months of the Incarnational tread upon the terra firma, Jesus Christ lived to turn as many as would desire to partake in the celestial citizenry from the course of hellish destination of every sinner. In the wilderness, Lucifer failed to derail the course of the Last Adam.Read More

Today the 11th of September, 2023, I have, by the special grace of God been a true member of THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD CHURCH, ebulliently shepherded by the Pauline highbrowed Reverend Chris Okotie.                 It was in 1994, the eleventh of September, a Sunday, when I first attended the service in this church. One sermon, titled “Christian Cult” and I knew, most definitely, “This is my Church.” I cannot forget this day, the day I refer to as my own 9/11 albeit, mine is not a disastrous one.Read More

David’s unwavering love for the things of his God made him the best choice to reign when Israel must have her own king. God had been watching him and knew he would be a good king. The judge, prophet and high priest of Israel, Samuel, after he had anointed him as the next king, the good LORD was so pleased with the teenage David who would not allow any smidgeon of bumptiousness towards the members of his family but humbly went back to his duty as the shepherd of the few sheep. To prove to all that David had truly gone through a successful probation, he could not help asking even of the gargantuan fiendishness of Goliath, “For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God” (1Samuel 17:26)? His probational days had built strong faith in him, knowing fully well that the LORD God is more than able. King Saul sought to kill David several times. Thrice David had the opportunity on platter of gold to eliminate his deadly pursuer; three times, like what is thought of a fool, David rejected the convictive words of his soldiers to kill King Saul. David’s knowledge of the word of God enabled him to make his way prosperous; leading to: “and then thou shalt have good success.”Read More

Isaac, the next in the triune patriarchal line after Abraham, received his first probationary baptism when his father obeyed the instructions of God to sacrifice him. He was Christ-like in obedience to the purpose of the Creator. His acquiescence paved the legality for the ultimate Golgotha soteriological sanguinolency. God was not done with Isaac, who, at a young age, went through the distressing pangs experienced at the loss of the great woman of faith, Sarah, his dear mother. His marriage to a pulchritudinous and virtuous Rebekah though an exhilarating succour, he had to wade through another probational decades of infecundity of matrix fruitlessness. Holding courageously to the patriarchal baton after the demise of Abraham, his father even the friend of God, he lived to a very old age, a trustworthy saint in his walk with the Most High God. Down, he was found, but not out of alienation of God’s favour. Torturously bruised he felt, but courageously believed in the LORD his God. One of the ultraheavy apophthegm of all times from the philosophical heart of this great man of God is found in Job 23:10 “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” After all said and done, Job, who did lose all to the machinations of Satanism, did strike gold, after God’s rebuke of his unnecessary excessiveness of painful outpour.

Looking for a man to establish His righteousness on earth God chose a dweller of Ur, Abraham, the first of the three patriarchs of Israel, who must go through trials. Thousands and thousands of the earth population get pregnant every month. Not so after decades of his marriage to Sarah. Even when they eventually gave birth to the promised Isaac, God came to Abraham in Genesis 22:2, “And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” The fear Abraham had for the Creator was an awesome respect; Abraham did not even as much as question the LORD’s request. Abraham’s probation earned him the title of ‘the friend of God’. If Abraham could release his one and only Isaac for this sacrifice, God should have the legality to decide to love the world so compassionately to give His only begotten Son to a dying world. Amen!

Entities of creationism, no matter how perfect in creation, are still under the sovereignty of the Divinity. The same sovereignty over creation explains God’s right to beam probationary light on the existence of beings. The LORD God does not put anyone on probation because He wants to know the hidden dwelling evil in the heart. He knows and sees beings, living, nonliving, animate or inanimate – all the centillions – at the same time and the intents of all, long before the existence of each one. Nothing, ergo, comes to the Almighty as a surprise. He has decided to probe us so that we will know that He is the LORD. The eternality of God’s juridical office makes the Eternal Father the Judge of all things. The judge is only known to swing into adjudicatory ukase after an act of legal interest is brought before the assizes. God made man a free moral agent, having the right to choose any course of life; the free moral agency does not becloud the mind not to know that there is an ultimate Judge.Read More

In the matters of the Church, Three Entities must be in charge, in the true spiritual administration of it. No angelic entity can take the place of the Members of the Godhead. You will never read anything like, “And the apostles gave to some, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.” Offices of the Church are truly dispensed by the Holy Spirit, through the understanding of the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is divine, or else He will never allow Himself to say, “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30). Who, do you think, are the “All that ever came before me” of John 10:8? They are prophets and teachers of wrong doctrines; they are those who pretend to be in the messianic office. If those of the past who had not the Spirit of Jesus are termed “thieves and robbers” which include Nimrod, Balaam, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster and Confucius; definitely, any other who comes after Him, the likes of Muhammad, who had not the Spirit of Jesus, and consequently not the disciple of Jesus, is in that category of thieves and robbers. Was Muhammad ever a born again child of God? Muhammad preferred to be slave of Allah in sharp contrast to which members of Christianity are: God’s children of the Adoption. One must possess the Spirit of the Truth before working for the Most High God, the Creator of heaven and the earth and all things found therein. Jesus is the Comforter who promises another Comforter; and that is all I am trying to get across to you. Amen.Read More

The Comforter is expected to bring to remembrance what Jesus taught like no other teacher of the Word and one of the things He taught in the Sermon on the Mount is in Matthew 5:33-37. As many get born again, the Holy Spirit dwells in them forever. Only God can exist in more than one place, not to mention the over one billion of possible Christians of the world, as displayed by the Holy Spirit. Inside how many can Muhammad take a residence? The people of Christ’s address were His own following disciples, did anyone of them live to see Muhammad? The prophecy did come true ten days after the Lord’s ascension, on the day of Pentecost in sharp contrast to six centuries later of Muhammad’s entrance into Allah’s prophetic office. Most definitely, Muhammad could not have been the promise of ‘another Comforter'; he is too human, too detached from Christological facticity to measure up for the office the Comforter. This Comforter is scripturally the Third Member of the Godhead, being of the Divinity; is Muhammad the fourth member of the Godhead to possess the criterion of the Comforter? Is Jesus divine?Read More

The three Members of the Godhead constitute one God. The Trinity is one God, yet three; three but one in deed, thought and essence. It is an unimaginable conundrum. Jehovah is good. The adjectival case of this Divine goodness does not exist in grammatical comparative or superlative sense. Its uniqueness makes the Divinity the only good One. Good, from divine point of understanding, cannot, in any way be adversely affected by evil of any gargantuan fiendishness. The evil spirit of misunderstanding cannot, in any way, wage any successful war of separation against the Members of the Godhead. Muhammad, obviously, failed to understand that each of the distinct Personage of the Trinity is not only the Omnipotent, each one of them is omnipresent; each One of the Triune distinction of the Godhead is properly an Omniscience; if so, how could any other entity or entities gain intrusion into the affairs of the all-knowing prepossession of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit? It is an impossibility! The Allah of Muhammad, who taught his prophet this falsehood concerning separation of the Godhead, is not all-knowing, to have delved into the disparagement of the Bible. (Qur’an) An-Nisa’ 4:157 “And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.” Who told Muhammad that Jesus was not crucified? It is Allah, a god bereft of scriptural facticity. Do we not read of Jesus as He chided the disciples for unbelief after His resurrection? Luke 24:46 “And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:” Read More

The extant Comforter, whose physical presence was with the apostles in John 14:16-17 is none other than the Personage of John 14:18 “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” How possible will Jesus, who would have been seated in the heavenly assizes, be able to come to them? The three Persons in the Godhead are intrinsically one. Is the Holy Spirit not the Spirit of the eternality of both the Father and Son? Romans 8:9 reads “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Of the Holy Spirit it says in Galatians 4:6 “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” In a malicious attempt to bring Muhammad into the glorious light of the Bible, for religious recognition, they twist the Islamism of the Qur’an and teach that Jesus told His disciples to expect another prophet, using John 14:16 as biblical validity of Muhammadan emergence as the prophet, in fact, according to Muhammad, the only prophet after Jesus Christ. When someone decides to employ lies in propagation of whatever cause, I feel very happy; knowing fully well that telling lies only gets one backed for just a little while owing to the transiency of falsehood. Does it not say, “…the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,?” which makes me begin to wonder if Muhammad got his endowment of omniscience by Allah: for it takes the faculty of all knowing to achieve the teaching of all divine things. It also reads, “…and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”Read More

Whether it is ignorance or sheer determined crave for wrong didacticism of Scripture, the Jehovah’s Witness Society teaches that the Holy Spirit is just a mere wind. Charles Taze Russell’s (1852-1916) foundation of JW believes the Holy Spirit has no life, ergo, is not a Personage. So, what are we to make of this Scripture, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me” (John 15:26)? One of JW members who came to my house said, “But you know that the Bible says that inanimate things do teach of God’s existence?” Fine, but to let him know that he was still hooked like the captured fish out of water, I showed him John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” I asked the JW guys, can a mere wind, as you put it, teach omnisciently, all theological things? They could not give an answer to the ponderous profundity of my enquiry; I, therefore, proceeded with, “He must be the eternal Omniscience to know all things!” Showing them from God’s protocol, the Bible, I opened to Acts 13:2 “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” Is this not the Christ-promised Comforter? He is not only dwelling amongst them, He speaks words of intellectualism to their hearing ears, and also, He makes appointments of Apostleship, which is purely of the Godhead. Amen.Read More

FOLLOWING THE LORD GOD OF THE BIBLE (2)

0 Comments
From the beginning of Adamic life man had loved to follow the Creator. The Devil knows how to get you to unfollow the LORD God. Lucifer went all out to establish religions with the malicious motive of deviation from the righteous path of the Word of God. The religions tend to wear clothes of righteousness but incessantly deny the power thereof. The Word of God is Jesus. Christ is seen in these religions but not one of them teaches John 3 verse 3. They will vehemently disagree with John 3 verse 16. Judas Iscariot wore a form of godliness, following Jesus Christ for three and a half years. But Judas denied himself the power of reconciliation, very much like Cain of old. God spoke to Cain in Genesis 4:7 “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” It was a Fatherly solution to the sin of disobedience. But Cain’s predisposition is like the proverbial hunting dog that shuns the shrill of the “Let’s go home” whistle from the hunter lord and owner; it gets momentary lost and gets into the claws and jaws of ravenous wild animals. Following God is predicated on the obedience to His Word. Amen.Read More
