SOTERIOLOGY MINUS JESUS [I]

Jesus is the Author of soteriology

I) The kernel of soteriology finds seminality in the kerygma. The soteriology, solely an establishment of the Divinity, finds the solidity of its foundation in the kerygma, such that as the proclamation of the truth gets trumpeted, it uncovers the apocalypse of the mind and act of the Lord God, the Almighty. What is the definition of soteriology? It is: “The branch of Christian theology that deals with salvation as the effect of a divine agency.” Soteriology is solely a preserve of Jehovah’s workability.
The facticity of baraminology fingers an irrevocability of creationism. In the hands of the Adamic blunder, baraminic haecceity suffered a defeat, causing the baramic Designer to a further establishment of the soteriological reality, aimed at the redemption of the lost souls of Adam that would walk the humble path of the parabolic son of prodigence. Is the Christ the divine Author of creationism? He must of necessity be the One and the only Founder of the salvific Providence: for, forsooth, Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things –visible and invisible.

Colossians 1:17

“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” [Colossians 1:17]

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” [Colossians 1:16-17]. The word ‘created’ is the Greek ktizo (ktiy’-zō): ‘to fabricate, i.e. found (form originally).’ Ktizo, ergo, theologically understood –very similar to Hebraic bara meaning ‘creation ex nihilo i.e. out of nothing’—, makes Jesus the originator of creationism. ‘Consist,’ sunistao (sïn-iy-staō’), συνιστάνω sunistano (sïn-iy-sta’-nō) [strengthened] or συνίστημι sunistemi (sïn-iy’-stee-miy) [also] in Greek means: ‘1. to set together. 2. (by implication) to introduce (favorably). 3. (figuratively) to exhibit. 4. (intransitively) to stand near. 5. (figuratively) to constitute.

“All things were made by him” [John 1:3]

There is not a smidgeon of doubt that the Original Creator should be the One who should have the capability of the Divinity to set the entire creation glued together. The Bible says in John 1:3-4, “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” Ginomai (ǰiy’-no-mai) is the Greek for ‘made,’ meaning: ‘1. to cause to be (“gen”-erate). 2. (reflexively) to become (come into being). 3. (of events) to happen.’ The verb ‘without,’ choris (chō-riys’), means: ‘at a space, i.e. separately or apart from (often as preposition).’ And ‘life’ is zoe (zō-ee’): ‘1. life†. (more than merely the present physical or natural life). 2. life-above. (above or elevated in relation to the mere physical condition. There may be strong connotations and direct inferences to Spiritual, Kingdom, or Eternal life in certain contexts, but not always. This word deserves special demarcation and attention).’

In the Book of John 15:5, Jesus taught the factuality of His divinity. “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.” This scripture takes us back to Exodus 25:8, where Jehovah made the Mosaic covenant, “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” Jesus is actually enabling a divine reassurance of Old Testamentary asseveration. Jesus is the only One needed to actuate soteriology, or else He would not have employed the use of the verb ‘abideth,’ meno (me’-nō), defined as ‘1. to remain. 2. (in a place) to abide, to stay. 3. (of expectancy) to await. 4. (in a state) to continue. 5. (in a task) to endure. 6. (of a relationship) to exist permanently in, inseparably united (inhere, adhere). The adverb ‘without’ is choris (chō-riys’): ‘at a space, i.e. separately or apart from (often as preposition).’

                God will never create another species of people better than Christians. We are His peripoesis. What is peripoesis? It is found in 1Peter 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: The word ‘peculiar’ is the Greek peripoesis, which makes us a purchased property of His Divinity. If God will ever buy anything, would He spend His resources in exchange for a perishable item? As sinful as humans are, no right thinking one among us would want to use our hard earned money on anything that is valueless.

The Holiest One of Eternality at the Mount Sinai experience

                Jehovah sits in eternity. If He should love to purchase clothing, for instance, would the ETERNAL One buy raiment that will ever go out of fashion? Would the LORD God give out His bargaining strength for an acquisition that will see and be affected by corruption? Would a fabric that will be torn, as the time goes on, be God’s acquired possession? Peripoesis have definitions of: ‘preservation, safe keeping and a purchased acquisition.’ The preservation of the Christian is the sole preserve of the Trinity. How do I know this? It says in the Scriptures, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” [John 3:16].

All things are held together by Jesus

Christians are the mystical body of Christ on earth

                What this new life of regeneration promises is: ‘should not perish,’ ergo, ‘everlasting life’ which the gift of God the Father engenders. The Christian is resident in the Father’s eternal palm. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand [John 10:29]. The active tense, ‘pluck’ is the Greek harpazo (har-pa’-zō) ‘to seize i.e. take by force’. Harpazo is a derivation of haireomai (hai-re’-o-mai) or hellomai (hel’-lo-mai) [a cognate form, which is otherwise obsolete] ‘to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer.’ No sinful act will ever authorise the evil entity of Satanism to bring the Christian into the hellish judgment domain of Lucifer.If none can pluck the regenerate soul from the Father’s hand, then, God Himself will not let go of His divine treasure –the Christian. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4) To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time[1Peter 1:3-5].

Original sin

Christianity redeemed us from the original Adamic sinfulness

                “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 [Romans 8:9]. This Scripture underscores the divine participation of the Holy Spirit. His indwelling stance is eternal. You can never read anywhere in God’s protocol of the New Testamentary order acquainting His vacation of the regenerate soul. At the Christian’s earthly departure, the Holy Spirit must accompany him to heaven. Why? The Holy Spirit is the ‘seal’ of divine approval; the ‘earnest’ of God’s purchase of the Christian.

                Titus 3:5 reads, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; where ‘renewing’ is anakainosis (a-na-kai’-nō-sis): ‘renewal, a renewing (i.e. brand-new).’ Anakainosis comesfrom  anakainoo (a-na-kai-no’-ō)to renovate.’ This reminds me of 2Corinthians 5:17 where the one found in Christ is termed ‘new,’ the Greek of which is a cognatekainos (kai-nos’):1. brand-new (i.e. newly made or introduced); fresh. 2. (also, by implication) distinctly better.’ The true Christian remains ever-fresh before the Eternal Majesty of the Rainbow Administration.

God-Incarnate

They did not know that seated among them was the LORD God of Eden!

                “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory [Ephesians 1:13-14]. The Holy Spirit is truly involved in the regeneration of our souls. We are ‘sealed,’ that is sphragizo (sfra-ǰiy’-zō) ‘1. to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation. 2. (by implication) to keep secret, to attest.’ The Christian is not only ‘sealed,’ the Holy Spirit is his ‘earnest,’ arrhabon (ar-rha-ɓōn’) ‘a pledge, i.e. part of the purchase-money or property given in advance as security for the rest.’ The salient question here is this; if the Holy Spirit is given out as down payment, how much more is really, truly, being owed as far as the spiritual commercialism is concerned? Has the Holy Spirit a price tag? Selah!

Jesus calls us “Brethren” [Mark 3:34].

As the people of Christ, we become the next of kin to the Divinity

                As Jesus is the last Adam and the only Saviour, so are the Christians the last species of God’s creationism –of intelligent beings. We are the best: saved for the last exhibition of Jehovah’s fecundity.

Religion is basically manmade, to serve the deification crave of Satanism. If God has what you will call a religion, then it is called Christianity: named after the Second Member of the Godhead, to delineate the legitimacy of this true worship of the Most High.

4)            Who is the one involved with Christianity? He is the one of 1Peter 2:9-10 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10) Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Christians are the redeemed

Amen; I am of the redeemed!

                Let me go through the definitions of some of the words in the above verses.

*Chosen is the Greek eklektos (ek-lek-tos’): ‘picked out, select, (by implication) favorite.’                          

*Generation is genos (ghen’-os): ‘kindred, offspring, family stock, tribe, nation.’                                               

*Royal, basileios (bas-il’-i-os), means: ‘kingly (by nature), regal.’                                                                                                

*Priesthood hierateuma (hee-er-at’-yoo-mah), is: ‘the office of a priest; the priestly fraternity, that is, a sacerdotal order (figuratively).’     

*Holy is hagios (hag’-ee-os): ‘most holy thing, a saint; sacred (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated).                                                                                                                                    

*Nation is ethnos (eth’-nos). ‘Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians; a race (as of the same habit), that is, a tribe; specifically, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication pagan.’

*Peculiar is made of two Greek eis and peripoiēsis. Eis (ice) is: ‘into, unto, to, towards, for, among.’ The second, peripoiesis (per-ee-poy’-ay-sis), means: ‘a preserving, a preservation; possession, one’s own property; an acquisition.’                                                                                                                                                                            

*People is laos (lah-os’), meaning: ‘group, tribe, nation, all those who are of the same stock and language; people (in general; thus differing from (dēmos (day’-mos) the people, the mass of people assembled in a public place ), which denotes one’s own populace).                                                                      

Jesus is the Potter of mankind

The moulding Potter, Creator of Christians – His vessels .

                Christianity, from this Petrine Epistle, is a selection reminiscent of God’s sculptural hands, as He picked a piece of clay from among the abundance of its enormous earthly deposit. If the Sculptor’s ingenious acumen had not gone any further, Adam would have remained just a mere masterpiece of sculpture. But the good Lord, Christ, the Second Member of the Godhead, desired more than a piece of clayey work of art. He breathed a personal and physical breath of life into the lifeless mould. “And Adam became a living soul,” so we have in the Mosaic couch of Genesis 2:7; the word ‘man’ in this verse is actually ‘Adam’ of the Hebraic ‘adam (aw-dawm’): ‘ruddy (from the redness of the colour of the earth) i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.).

A Christian is fully justified

We don’t really know who we are: Christians are absolutely holy!

                In sharing life with the Adamic nature, Christianity was ushered into the generational stock of empyreal reality. Adam became Jehovah’s next of kin! Kinsmen of the Godhead. Unbelievable it looked –to an onlooking Lucifer. There is more to being a Christian –regality of sacerdotalism. We are priestly kings –in the order of Melchizedek. Spiritual suzerainty, that puts divine connectivity solely in the hands of Christianity. There is much more. Christianity, by the blood covenant of atonement, has metamorphosed into a saint, most holy, physically pure, morally blameless and ceremonially consecrated tribe of empyreal order. And what is more? The peculiarity of Christianity is absolutely of the Divinity. Our connection to the soteriological new birth is unto an acquisition of a tribe, eternally precious, a preserve of the Almighty Elohiym. No race –not even Israel—, at any point of historical time, is this elevated. Hallelujah!                                                                                                                      

Peter’s miraculous release from prison

Peter’s release makes Antichrist’s dominion of Christians an Impossibility

                In order to please the people Herod stretched forth his hand. He grabbed James the great. Herod killed a pillar of Christianity. James is the same as Jacob, which means a supplanter; he is the original Israel; this is probably why Israel, today, is dead, spiritually. The same Roman governmental machinery captured Simon Peter, with the same wish to sniff out his life. The difference between Israel’s Judaism and Christianity is in the name of Simon Peter. Simon means ‘hearing’ while Peter is ‘a lively stone’ –the concrete material of the architectural edifice, called God’s sanctuary. They, the Church, prayed and God had no choice but to hear and brought Peter to safety. Why? The categorical pellucidity of the word is, “I will build…………of hell shall not prevail against it.” Peter himself wrote, “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” (1Peter 2:5).                                                                                             

His banner over us is His love

Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? (Isaiah 50:2)

                Biblical historicity tells us that John, in his old age, was arrested. They decided to execute him by throwing the Lord’s Apostle, whom He loved, into a heated cauldron of oil. John would not be fried, by the will of God. Why? His name, the Hebraic yôchânân (yo-khaw-nawn’) or Johanan, means: “Jehovah has graced or Jehovah-favoured.” Were we not, through Adam, dead? Were we not brought into life by the grace of Jehovah? For this reason, by the grace of God, the unmerited favour from His throne room, it was impossible to execute John, the concretism of the abstract Church.                                                                                                                                                                                        

Praying Christians

                Is there any congregational prayer like unto the Holy Spirit’s released glossolalia, which makes the Devil and his demons shiver, when Christians open their mouths to raise prayers known only of God’s chosen generation? Selah!                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Christians are the only chosen generation

The Chosen Generation!

                You have no idea how privileged it is to be truly involved spiritually with Christianity. We are the living phenomenon. The genuinely happening people of the world; called out to season the vapidity that marks the barbarism of the sinful Adamic population, and to beam the eternal light of salvation to all groping mankind. Christianity is God’s trump card to discomfit and to destroy the works of satanism.

Jesus is the Saviour

(…continues from part 2…)

3)            Whether the Devil likes it or not, that is what we are –Christians—, God’s prevailed Prince. The Hebraic ‘prevailed’ is: yâkôl (yaw-kole’) ‘to be able, be able to gain or accomplish, be able to endure, be able to reach.’ Remember Jesus made the asseveration, “shall not prevail against,” concerning the Church, in Matthew 16:18? It is very interesting that ‘shall’ and ‘prevail against’ have the same Hebrew word katischuō (kat-is-khoo’-o), meaning: ‘overcome.’ There is, therefore, a double assurance of the Church’s triumphant strides. Let us go back to Genesis 32:28 where Jacob was said to ‘have power with God,’ and God here, is ‘ĕlôhı̂ym (el-o-heem’): ‘rulers, divine ones, judges, gods in the ordinary sense; used of the Supreme God.’ Should it not be apropos to explore the antithetical imagery in this verse? The noun ‘man’ ‘ĕnôsh (en-oshe’) in Hebrew is: ‘man, mortal man, mere man.’ Israel, having prevailed to be the Prince by the side of the Almighty Elohiym, will most definitely triumph over the wiles of Satanism, aided by mere mortality of a man of the dust. Now, I believe it is pellucid enough to understand the appropriate double asseveration of the Christian’s triumphant decree of the Divinity.

Pharaoh perished in the Red Sea

Pharaoh perished –an unbeliever.

                Pharaoh, forsooth, you were grounded in the dearth of good counsellors. If you were not bereft of the sagacity of counsellors, you would have been strongly counselled against the antagonism you preferred towards Jehovah Elohiym. The LORD God desired the Church worship before His holiest presence. His choice of assemblage was the Israeli concourse. Pharaoh, if you did not make it to the paradise of Abraham’s Bosom, you are, without controversy, licking your wounds in hell, for not asking the Israelites for an invitation to worship this Jehovah alongside His prince, the Church.                                           

Sinless family of Adam

The first Eden Church 

                It had been a long time the Lord had had a communion with His people. The Eden fellowship would receive a reenactment in the wilderness –the celestial Church brought down to the earth. The Lord had shown Moses the architectural design. Three verses show that God is the Architect of the place of holy concourse. Exodus 25:9 “According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.” Towards the end of the chapter is: “And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount” (Exodus 25:40). The Pauline exegesis teaches: “Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount” (Hebrews 8:5).                                                 

Israel

Israel, Jehovah has your back.

                No nation, till today, has the close fellowship Israel experienced with the Lord of creation. The stage was set for the emergence of the true Church.                                                                                                                                 It eventually happened in the Upper Room. Acts 2:1-4 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”                                               

Prophet Daniel

Daniel saw and prophesied it all

                Through the children of God, great emperors have heard veracious vaticination of global events. Nebuchadnezzar even became a believer before his death. A most erratic Ahasuerus would give a most favourable attention to the prayer of queen Esther whose true Hebrew name, Hadassah, typifies the Christian. Hadassah is Hebrew for the myrtle tree. How is Hadassah the typicality of the Christian Church? It is 1) a lowly tree. 2) a fragrant shrub. 3) beautiful; and 4) happens to be an evergreen plant. Lowliness of the myrtle makes the Christian of an obedient and humble heart. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass” (Zechariah 9:9).

                The Christian Church gives off a pleasant smell to the nostrils of the Divinity. 2Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.”                                                                                                                                       

Adam and Eve

                One of the wowing joys to Adam, that made the woman a persona grata entity was her enthralling pulchritude. Romans 10:15 “And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

                The book of John 3:15 accounts for the evergreen nature of the Christian, which reads, “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” The evergreen stance of the Christian makes his salvation unalterable. He Holy Spirit maintains the Christian’s holiness forever.

Luke 10:19

                The Christian is a one crowned with divine power. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

2)            Most Christians do not realise how so blessed, highly favoured and well protected they are! A mountain of angelic bulwark serves as the protection of Christians, Jehovah’s beloved! When Adam and his wife dropped the ball in Eden, God cleansed them, for forgiveness, by slaughtering two animals, using the flowing crimson fluid as the propitiation –God covered them in an adumbrative righteousness of the Christ. 

The Blood of Jesus

His blood speaks better things

                Animals were not created with regenerative spirits, ergo, serving as expendable souls of spiritual deliverance from the Adamic sinful nature. What a Jehovah of mercy He is, His judgments unsearchable, and His ways past finding out!

                Every divine covenant must be blood sealed. Before the creation of the Eden Garden woman blood flowed from the extracted rib of Adam the male, who prefigured Jesus, the Bridegroom of the Church. The Church of the redeemed must come under the blood covenant. Sin had separated Adam from the Creator. This is why Cain’s bloodless sacrifice would not be accepted. The animal for sacrifice, having lost its life, the blood, in which dwells the life of the living, must be exchanged for the unholy life of the human sinner. This blood propitiation went on for four thousand years.

2Corinthians 5:17

                Four is the number of creation. When it came to the birthing of the Church, the blood of the animals would not do; it will vitiate the divine bourne of the Church. So, what did He do? He came by Himself, laid down His sinless life and poured forth His blood, a substitutionary death for all who would approach the Holy throne of grace for an eternal remission of sin. Jesus Christ is the eternal Lord from heaven. His sacrifice –birthing the Church— is an eternal act; quite unlike that of the ephemeral bulls, sheep and goats –of Old Testamentary order. He is older than eternity. His gift was His very eternal Self. An immutability! The Church of Christianity is the sole medium of soteriological facticity. Amen.

Church Service

                Why do think Cain was stolen from the pristine parents and, what do you think is the reason for goading the first family into sinfulness? The Christian Church! To steal it, kill it, and to get it absolutely destroyed! Satan the Devil’s desiderative crave is to silence the Church –the vehicle of divine afflatus. Amen. Luciferian putsch à la Cain’s treachery resulted in the nascent world’s dichotomous life. It is what I call the antediluvian saints –of Adam— and the antediluvian miscreants –led by the falsehood of Cain’s priesthood. Adam and his wife asked for it –by their disobedience.

                The Christian Church must move on. An antediluvian saint, Enoch, lived such an exemplary life that he spent just a very few three hundred and sixty years, and was taken away from the earth, undying –à la rapture. His own son, Methuselah, lived the longest, of 969 years, saved from the annihilation of the great deluge which took place just after he slept in the Lord, his God. Jesus knows how to take care of His Christian Bride.                                   

The Bride and the Divine Bridegroom

                Noah, the last prophet of the antediluvian Christian Church, preached for a hundred and twenty years, and having touched every corner of the nascency of our world [Matthew 24:14], destruction was unleashed, but not until the Church was safely kept –God’s precious treasure. For your information, the “ark,” in the Hebrew language, is called tebah (tay-ɓaw’), a feminine noun, meaning: ‘a box (of treasure).’ Jehovah kept His Bride of inestimable price in perfect safety!

                Then came the faithful Abraham. He must be of faith to be of the Christian Church, most definitely. Of this Abraham the Scripture says, 13 “For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee” (Hebrews 6:13-14). What made God swore at all was to ensure that absolutely nothing stops the construction of the most sacred edifice –Christianity. Along the line of destiny, God said to Jacob, “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed” (Gen 32:28). Jacob is the Hebraic ya‛ăqôb (yah-ak-obe’) meaning: “heel holder” or “supplanter”. Israel comes out in Hebrew as yiśrâ’êl (yisrawale’), made of two words: śârâh (saw-raw’) ‘to prevail: have power (as a prince),’ and ‘êl (ale): ‘strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity).’ Put together, Israel means: ‘a Prince by the side of God’ or ‘he will rule as God’.

1)            Existential forge of Adamic reality was a ‘call out’ into the sainthood of the Creator, establishing the latria of the Most High by an assemblage of free moral agents, fashioning a fellowship with Him, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty, Amen!    

          The creation of the pristine family of Adam (male & female) adumbrates the empyreal adoration of the seated One of the Rainbow Administration. The Woman, not having been brought into reality –marks the non-existence of the Eden latria witness— brought forth the “not good” of Divine utterance.                                                         

Mirroring the mind of Christ, his Creator, Adam the male went into an ebullition of panegyric woo, becoming the first rap artiste at the formal introduction of the first female Adam. It was an adumbrative call of the Church, which had found its seminality in the heart of the Eternal Majesty. Forsooth, this isan orchestration of Divine operativeness.                                                                                                                                         

Christianity is not a religion

Yes, this is what Christianity is.

                I do not know why the world decides to give ‘religion,’ as the definition of Christianity. Religion, to the best of my knowledge, is ‘man’s own way of going to heaven’. Man, in his naturalness, exists in the carnal dearth of theological knowledge. His thoughts are wont to receive pollution of satanism. Christianity is, ergo, not a religion. Maybe for shallow, layman understanding, of humanity, it could pass for a religion. It is actually “The Way,” the way of righteousness, of right standing with the LORD God, the Almighty, Owner and Creator of all in existence. A Christian is the true follower of Christ. Why Christ at all?                                                 

Before Abraham was Christ existed

                Christ is the Creator of all things. Right? All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men [John 1:3-4]. This Light is not a created illumination. Not until He was introduced [Genesis 1:3] by the First Member of the Godhead, God the Father, the physical creation of Adamic world did not commence. As He created the angels, they knew Him as their Maker, Lord and God: for it says somewhere in the holy writ: And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him [Hebrews 1:6]. It says also in 1Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. The word ‘worship’ of Hebrews 1:6 is proskuneo (pros-kï-ne’-ō): ‘1. to crouch or fawn toward (face down), while expressing homage (i.e. with a servile kiss or display of humble adoration). 2. to fall prostrate (face down) in adoration or homage. 3. (of old age) to lean prostrate (face down) with the help of staff. 4. (Note) a physical act of lowering oneself in humble submission with an attitude of utmost adoration or respect.’ Hupotasso (hï-po-tas’-sō) is the Greek word for ‘made subject’ of 1Peter 1:6 and it means: ‘1. to subordinate. 2. (reflexively) to obey.’

The 24 elders worship Jesus

                If they worship Him, they must follow the LORD, their God.

                In the creation of Adam, He took from an enormously large deposit of clay. This was not an atypicality of ‘the call out’. Adam’s joy knew no bounds when the introduction of the woman, Adam the female, was made by none other than the LORD God, Himself. They were the first Christians on earth. The Garden of Eden is the first assemblage of the Church. Christianity, technically understood, did not come into being at the Upper Room of Acts of the Apostles, chapter two. It was not the first of Christ’s followership. The empyrealangelic host followed Him, à la latria, with all their hearts, minds, wills and thoughts.

Raising holy hands before the Elohiym, their JEHOVAH

                The Church is God’s tabernacle. It is the only sacred concourse of the redeemed in the fellowship with the Divinity. The first time the ‘Church’ appears in Scripture is in Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  The Greek for ’Church’ is ekklesia (ek-klee-siy’-a) ‘1. (literally) a “calling out.” 2. (concretely, of Greece) an assembly of citizens (as called out by the town crier for a specific purpose). 3. (specifically, of Jesus) a called out assembly of the Redeemed of Jesus (Yeshua). 4. (specially, of Jesus) the citizenry of the Redeemed of Jesus whether being on earth or in heaven or both. 5. (of ancient continuity) a called out assembly (of the Redeemed Kinsmen of Yahweh— out of captivity; see Nehemiah 8:8, then Exodus 6:6, Exodus 15:13).’

This is “THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD CHURCH,” shepherded by Rev. Chris Okotie.

                The call out of the Church makes the members of this assemblage a new species of humanity. The holy race of the Almighty Jehovah, it is. Anyone who desires to live eternally, a paradisiacal citizen, must crave an adherence to John 3:3. It is imperative to be a true member of Christianity. God’s gifts and calling, of Romans 11:29 are irrevocable. This unmodifiable decree makes Christianity the only eternal institution of soteriology observed by the Most High. God will not change His sacred mind concerning Christianity and its salvific role to mankind. Amen.

a reminder note with a quote of John 14:6 about Jesus

                Get born again by saying 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!”
