Romans 6:23

WHO ELSE, IF NOT JESUS? (XVIII)

0 Comments
An asseverative Scripture vindicates the veracity of Christ’s claim in 1Corinthians 15:45-47, “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” Who else is like Jesus? There is none who is born into this world. Neither is there any that is of creationism. If it says, "All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them" (John 10:8); does it not make an illative inclusion of those who come after Him? Krishna did his coming before the incarnation of Jesus Christ. His claim of an avatar of the Most High Jehovah is sham. Mohammad came after Jesus had perfected the soteriological event, ergo, another sham. The word ‘thieves’ is kleptes (klep'-tace) ‘a stealer, a thief.’ In the Greek ‘robbers’ is lestes (lay"-stace') ‘1. a robber, bandit, armed thief 2. one who steals by use or threat of violence or by use of fear 3. (i.e.) the moneychangers in the temple robbed the people using the fear of God's disapproval.’ What does Islam do to increase adherents? It gives an option of the ‘sword’ or the ‘Islamic religion.’ Jihadism of Mohammedan Islamism is a robbery of souls. Period! Read More

Righteousness (2)

We have in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Our sinful nature, because it happens to be what we are innately guilty of, attracts the ‘wage’ of ‘death.’ We get paid for our wrongdoings. When it comes to ‘righteousness,’ however, it is not of our toil. Jesus toiled for it, so we can only be a recipient of it through the Divine generosity of being a ‘gift.’ A gift is not an original ownership of the recipient. ‘Gift’ of the above verse is charisma (khar'-is-mah): ‘1. a (divine) gratuity, i.e. deliverance (from danger or passion) 2. (specially), a (spiritual) endowment 3. (subjectively) religious qualification 4. (objectively) miraculous faculty.’ The Greek charisma comes from charizomai (khar-id'-zom-ai) ‘to grant as a favor, i.e. gratuitously, in kindness, pardon or rescue.’ Grace, as we understand it, is an unmerited favour.Read More

IS THE LORD GOD THE AUTHOR OF MORAL EVIL? (two)

Islam believes that the deterministic proclivity of God's creationism had made Him to pen down what will eventuate in the life of every individual –destiny, they call it. The first question engendered by this belief is, were you there when the Creator was doing that (documentational preparation of your future earthly life)? Was anybody aware of it when an unpalatable omen was scribbled against his –about to live– life? Why would God decide that a particular man, before his parturition, must die peacefully; but for this woman before she was born, was tagged with a fatal death? Childlessness for some; others must live impecunious lives and die so. Whimsically giddy. God is not sadistic: for that is what necessitarianism (on the contrary) teaches concerning Divine operations. Read More
