JESUS WAS THE SON OF JOSEPH CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE THE CHRIST

JESUS WAS THE SON OF JOSEPH CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE THE CHRIST

John, the Baptist, stated in unambiguous sentence. He was the only one who saw the Spirit descend as a dove and also heard;
 “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON……..HEAR YOU HIM”
John said in “34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God." (RSV)
“I knew him not”, John did not know that God had chosen him to be the Christ; however, he should be manifested in some way through his baptism. I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove. See Mt 3:16, and notes. It was revealed to John that the Christ would thus be revealed. Indeed it was the anointing of the Spirit that made Jesus the Anointed, the Christ.”

19 ¶ And <kai> this <houtos> is <esti> the record <marturia> of John <Ioannes>, when <hote> the Jews <Ioudaios> sent <apostello> priests <hiereus> and <kai> Levites <Leuites> from <ek> Jerusalem <Hierosoluma> to <hina> ask <erotao> him <autos>, Who <tis> art <ei> thou <su>? (KJV)
 19 ¶ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" (RSV)

People's New Testament Commentary:

   This is the record of John. The writer now plunges at once into his history. He passes by the childhood of the Lord, John's ministry, and comes at once to the time when Jesus, thirty years old, is acknowledged by the Father as the Son of God.

  When the Jews sent priests and Levites. The Jewish rulers, the Sanhedrin, the court or parliament of seventy-one members who ruled Israel. The delegation sent to John was official. His preaching in the wilderness of Jordan had stirred the whole land, and they were sent to ascertain his character. Matthew, Mark, and Luke use the term Jews very seldom [sixteen times], John often [seventy times], a proof that he wrote far away from Palestine and for Gentiles.

 20 And <kai> he confessed <homologeo>, and <kai> denied <arneomai> not <ou>; but <kai> confessed <homologeo>, <hoti> I <ego> am <eimi> not <ou> the Christ <Christos>. (KJV)
 20 He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." (RSV)

People's New Testament Commentary:

Some conjectured that John was the expected Christ; others that he was Elijah who was first to come (Mal 4:5); others that he was "that prophet," the one predicted by Moses (De 18:15); but he declared that he was none of these. When they insisted that he should declare who he was, he quoted Isaiah, and said he was "The voice of one crying in the wilderness [see Isa 40:3]. See PNTC for Mt 3:3. His work was preparation for the Lord.

 21 And <kai> they asked <erotao> him <autos>, What <tis> then <oun>? Art <ei> thou <su> Elias <Helias>? And <kai> he saith <lego>, I am <eimi> not <ou>. Art <ei> thou <su> that prophet <prophetes>? And <kai> he answered <apokrinomai>, No <ou>. {that prophet: or, a prophet?} (KJV)
 21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No." (RSV)

 22 Then <oun> said they <epo> unto him <autos>, Who <tis> art thou <ei>? that <hina> we may give <didomi> an answer <apokrisis> to them that sent <pempo> us <hemas>. What <tis> sayest thou <lego> of <peri> thyself <seautou>? (KJV)
 22 They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" (RSV)

 23 He said <phemi>, I <ego> am the voice <phone> of one crying <boao> in <en> the wilderness <eremos>, Make straight <euthuno> the way <hodos> of the Lord <kurios>, as <kathos> said <epo> the prophet <prophetes> Esaias <Hesaias>. (KJV)

   Were of the Pharisees. See PNTC for Mt 3:7.

 25 And <kai> they asked <erotao> him <autos>, and <kai> said <epo> unto him <autos>, Why <tis> baptizest thou <baptizo> then <oun>, if <ei> thou <su> be <ei> not <ou> that Christ <Christos>, nor <oute> Elias <Helias>, neither <oute> that prophet <prophetes>? (KJV)
 25 They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Why baptizest thou then? If he were Christ, or Elias, or "that prophet," they could understand why he should establish a new religious rite, but if none of these, why should he do so? Their perplexity shows that the baptismal rite was new to them. There is no proof that Jewish proselyte baptism of Gentile converts existed at this period, save the assertion of the Talmud, written two or three centuries after this. Josephus, who wrote in the time of the apostles, is silent about it.

 26 John <Ioannes> answered <apokrinomai> them <autos>, saying <lego>, I <ego> baptize <baptizo> with <en> water <hudor>: but <de> there standeth one <histemi> among <mesos> you <humon>, whom <hos> ye <humeis> know <eido> not <ou>; (KJV)
 26 John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know, (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   I baptize with water. See PNTC for Mt 3:11.

 27 He <autos> it is <esti>, who <hos> coming <erchomai> after <opiso> me <mou> is preferred <ginomai> before <emprosthen> me <mou>, whose <hos> <autos> shoe's <hupodema> latchet <himas> I <ego> am <eimi> not <ou> worthy <axios> to <hina> unloose <luo>. (KJV)

 28 These things <tauta> were done <ginomai> in <en> Bethabara <Bethabara> beyond <peran> Jordan <Iordanes>, where <hopou> John <Ioannes> was <en> baptizing <baptizo>. (KJV)
 28 This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. (RSV)
ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   These things were done in Bethabara. The Revised Version says in Bethany, a village whose site is now unknown, on the east bank of the Jordan. Bethabara means "the house of the ford."

 29 ¶ The next day <epaurion> John <Ioannes> seeth <blepo> Jesus <Iesous> coming <erchomai> unto <pros> him <autos>, and <kai> saith <lego>, Behold <ide> the Lamb <amnos> of God <theos>, which <ho> taketh away <airo> the sin <hamartia> of the world <kosmos>. {taketh away: or, beareth} (KJV)
 29 ¶ The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN MHC MHCC PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:

   The next day John seeth Jesus. Here Jesus first appears, in person, in John's account, who omits all the details given by Matthew and Luke of his earlier life. He was now thirty years old, and came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized of John. This interview was after the baptism (Joh 1:33), and probably after the Temptation.

  Behold the Lamb of God. Innocent like the lamb, to be offered as a lamb, "led as a lamb to the slaughter" (Isa 53:7). The lamb was commonly used as a sin offering (Le 4:32), and when John points to Jesus as "the" Lamb of God he can only mean that God had provided him as a sacrificial offering.

  The sin of the world. Not of Jews only, but of Gentiles. John points to Jesus as the world's Savior.

 30 This <houtos> is he <esti> of <peri> whom <hos> I <ego> said <epo>, After <opiso> me <mou> cometh <erchomai> a man <aner> which <hos> is preferred <ginomai> before <emprosthen> me <mou>: for <hoti> he was <en> before <protos> me <mou>. (KJV)
 30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.' (RSV)

   This is he of whom I said. See Joh 1:27.

  Was before. Existed before I was born.

31 And I <kago> knew <eido> him <autos> not <ou>: but <alla> that <hina> he should be made manifest <phaneroo> to Israel <Israel>, therefore <dia> <touto> am <erchomai> I <ego> come <erchomai> baptizing <baptizo> with <en> water <hudor>. (KJV)

   I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove. See Mt 3:16, and notes. It was revealed to John that the Christ would thus be revealed. Indeed it was the anointing of the Spirit that made Jesus the Anointed, the Christ.

 33 And I <kago> knew <eido> him <autos> not <ou>: but <alla> he that sent <pempo> me <me> to baptize <baptizo> with <en> water <hudor>, the same <ekeinos> said <epo> unto me <moi>, Upon <epi> whom <hos> <an> thou shalt see <eido> the Spirit <pneuma> descending <katabaino>, and <kai> remaining <meno> on <epi> him <autos>, the same <houtos> is <esti> he which baptizeth <baptizo> with <en> the Holy <hagios> Ghost <pneuma>.

 35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples. In Joh 1:19-28, the account is given of the visit of the priests and Levites, sent by the Sanhedrin to John. "The next day" after this, John sees Jesus and points him out as the Lamb of God, giving a discourse of which, in Joh 1:19-34, we have a synopsis. On the "next day" after this, the third day after the deputation of the Sanhedrin, and the second after the return of Jesus from the wilderness, John stood with two of his disciples. One of these two, we learn from Joh 1:40, was Andrew; the other, we have reason to believe, was John, the apostle.

 36 And <kai> looking upon <emblepo> Jesus <Iesous> as he walked <peripateo>, he saith <lego>, Behold <ide> the Lamb <amnos> of God <theos>! (KJV)
 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Behold the Lamb of God! On the preceding day John had recognized Jesus in a public discourse as "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world" [Joh 1:29]. Now he personally points the disciples to him.

 37 ¶ And <kai> the two <duo> disciples <mathetes> heard <akouo> him <autos> speak <laleo>, and <kai> they followed <akoloutheo> Jesus <Iesous>. (KJV)

 38 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?" (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Rabbi. A term meaning "teacher," or "master."

  Where dwellest thou? These disciples had followed at the bidding of John. Their question implies a desire to be in the company of Jesus.

 39 He saith <lego> unto them <autos>, Come <erchomai> and <kai> see <eido>. They came <erchomai> and <kai> saw <eido> where <pou> he dwelt <meno>, and <kai> abode <meno> with <para> him <autos> that <ekeinos> day <hemera>: for <de> it was <en> about <hos> the tenth <dekatos> hour <hora>. {about...: that was two hours before night} (KJV)
 39 He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK

   It was about the tenth hour. Counting from six o'clock, the first hour among the Jews, the tenth hour would be four P. M.

 40 One <heis> of <ek> the two <duo> which <ho> heard <akouo> <para> John <Ioannes> speak, and <kai> followed <akoloutheo> him <autos>, was <en> Andrew <Andreas>, Simon <Simon> Peter's <Petros> brother <adelphos>. (KJV)
 40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. (RSV)

People's New Testament Commentary:

   One of the two . . . was Andrew. Afterwards an apostle. He has the honor of being one of the first two disciples of Jesus.

 41 He <houtos> first <protos> findeth <heurisko> his own <idios> brother <adelphos> Simon <Simon>, and <kai> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, We have found <heurisko> the Messias <Messias>, which <hos> is <esti>, being interpreted <methermeneuo>, the Christ <Christos>. {the Christ: or, the Anointed} (KJV)
 41 He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). (RSV)

People's New Testament Commentary:

   Findeth his own brother Simon. Simon Peter. In true missionary spirit Andrew at once and first sought his own brother.

  We have found the Messias. The Christ promised by the prophets. Messiah is the Hebrew word meaning the same as Christ, [that is, "Anointed One."]

 42 And <kai> he brought <ago> him <autos> to <pros> Jesus <Iesous>. And <de> when Jesus <Iesous> beheld <emblepo> him <autos>, he said <epo>, Thou <su> art <ei> Simon <Simon> the son <huios> of Jona <Ionas>: thou <su> shalt be called <kaleo> Cephas <Kephas>, which <hos> is by interpretation <hermeneuo>, A stone <Petros>.

 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter). (RSV)
ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Thou shalt be called Cephas. A Hebrew word meaning "stone." Peter is the Greek form.

 43 ¶ The day following <epaurion> Jesus <Iesous> would <thelo> go forth <exerchomai> into <eis> Galilee <Galilaia>, and <kai> findeth <heurisko> Philip <Philippos>, and <kai> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, Follow <akoloutheo> me <moi>. (KJV)
 43 ¶ The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." (RSV)
ACC Barnes JFB MHC MHCC PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. This is the first recorded instance of the Savior calling a disciple to follow him. Philip, it must be borne in mind, is not Philip, "one of the seven" [Ac 21:8], but "one of the Twelve," a citizen of Bethsaida of Galilee [Joh 12:21], and a fellow-townsman of Andrew and Peter.

 44 Now <de> Philip <Philippos> was <en> of <apo> Bethsaida <Bethsaida>, the city <polis> of <ek> Andrew <Andreas> and <kai> Peter <Petros>. (KJV)
 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (RSV)

 45 Philip <Philippos> findeth <heurisko> Nathanael <Nathanael>, and <kai> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, We have found <heurisko> him, of whom <hos> Moses <Moseus> in <en> the law <nomos>, and <kai> the prophets <prophetes>, did write <grapho>, Jesus <Iesous> of <apo> Nazareth <Nazareth>, the son <huios> of Joseph <Ioseph>. (KJV)
 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Philip findeth Nathanael. As we learn from Joh 21:2, Nathanael was a Galilean, his home being at "Cana in Galilee." His name only occurs in these two places. He is supposed to have been one of the Twelve, the same one mentioned in the other Gospels as Bartholomew [Mt 10:3; Mr 3:18; Lu 6:14], which means "son of Tolmai." The use of the name in Joh 21:2 favors this hypothesis.

  We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write. There was only one to whom this could refer, "The prophet like unto Moses" (De 34:10; Ac 3:22; 7:37), the Messiah; and when Philip names Jesus of Nazareth, Nathanael is at once skeptical whether the Messiah could come out of Nazareth, an insignificant and despised place.

 46 And <kai> Nathanael <Nathanael> said <epo> unto him <autos>, Can <dunamai> there any <tis> good thing <agathos> come <einai> out of <ek> Nazareth <Nazareth>? Philip <Philippos> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, Come <erchomai> and <kai> see <eido>. (KJV)
 46 Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:

    Come and see. That is the best answer to the skeptic. Bring him to Christ, let him consider him, and what he has done for mankind. The strongest proof that Jesus is the Christ is Jesus himself.

 47 Jesus <Iesous> saw <eido> Nathanael <Nathanael> coming <erchomai> to <pros> him <autos>, and <kai> saith <lego> of <peri> him <autos>, Behold <ide> an Israelite <Israelites> indeed <alethos>, in <en> whom <hos> is <esti> no <ou> guile <dolos>! (KJV)

GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB RWP TFG TSK
 48 Nathanael <Nathanael> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, Whence <pothen> knowest thou <ginosko> me <me>? Jesus <Iesous> answered <apokrinomai> and <kai> said <epo> unto him <autos>, Before <pro> that Philip <Philippos> called <phoneo> thee <se>, when thou wast <on> under <hupo> the fig tree <suke>, I saw <eido> thee <se>. (KJV)
 48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:

   Whence knowest thou me? Nathanael, who had never met Jesus before, was surprised to hear himself spoken of as one known.

  When thou wast under the fig tree. There was something about this answer that filled Nathanael with astonishment. Under the shade and shelter of the fig tree he had some rare experience that is not recorded, and that he supposed unknown to man. That Jesus knew of it and read his soul startled him and dissipated his unbelief.

 49 Nathanael <Nathanael> answered <apokrinomai> and <kai> saith <lego> unto him <autos>, Rabbi <rhabbi>, thou <su> art <ei> the Son <huios> of God <theos>; thou <su> art <ei> the King <basileus> of Israel <Israel>. (KJV)
 49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" (RSV)
ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:
   Thou art the Son of God; the King of Israel. Philip had said, "Jesus, the son of Joseph" [Joh 1:45], as he supposed, but Nathanael, convinced, declared him the Son of God. This is the first confession of the divinity of Jesus.

 50 Jesus <Iesous> answered <apokrinomai> and <kai> said <epo> unto him <autos>, Because <hoti> I said <epo> unto thee <soi>, I saw <eido> thee <se> under <hupokato> the fig tree <suke>, believest thou <pisteuo>? thou shalt see <optanomai> greater things <meizon> than these <touton>. (KJV)

GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:

 Ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending. Jacob, old Israel, in his dream at Bethel, saw the ladder that reached to heaven with the angels upon it
(Ge 28:12). Christ is that ladder, the way from earth to heaven, the way heaven sends messages to the world and the way we must go to reach it. Nathanael would be permitted to see that Jesus was the Mediator, that through him the Father speaks to man; that through him there is intercommunication between earth and heaven.

A KENEZIAN COMMENTARY

This Humble Vessel warns humanity thus, Titles have destroyed kingdoms before and after the arrival and departure of Jesus, the Christ; who warned thus: “What comes out of a man defiles him more than what goes into him.”

Religious symbols have been borrowed across cultures and religious boundaries for centuries that they rarely mean same things to a variety of fanatical followers or worshippers of the plethora of religions and denominations in our present world. How do we penetrate centuries of historical distortions of the originals to define the pristine truths from nature and established by our Creator so that we can arrive at the most objective version that is egalitarian, humane and applicable in all cultures, time and clime for world peace? The Universal Idolatry introduced by a pagan emperor of Rome was the master stroke the evil one used to deceive and demonise the original worship Saul of Tarsus brought to Rome. Type in MITHRANISM in the Google Search Template or in Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopaedia and you will see in graphic details the god that both the Greeks and Romans adored and worshipped before the arrival of Jesus on planet earth. Then and only then will you appreciate that Constantine could not adore and worship someone who was crucified by Roman soldiers on a cross! He convened the Council of Nicea and overnight deified Jesus of Nazareth to marry a Christian girl he loved! Open your eyes, let us halt this derailment leading us to hell!

EVIL SPIRITS ARE SUPERNATURAL BEINGS AND THEY RECOGNISED JESUS AS A ‘PROPHET’ AND AS ‘THE HOLY ONE OF GOD’ BUT NEVER “GOD THE SON”

Mark 1:21-28
21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Nazareth
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
Original KJV
Mark 1:21-28
21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!" 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" 26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him." 28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
NKJV
Mark 1:21-28
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out,
Nazareth
25 "Be quiet!" said Jesus sternly. "Come out of him!" 26 The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching-and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him." 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.

I, DR JIDEOFO KENECHUKWU DANMBAEZE, AM ONLY A HUMAN BEING AS ARE ALL MY READERS ARE AND SO I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO DOUBT THAT THESE SPIRITUAL BEINGS WITH SUPERHUMAN KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE IGNORANT OF THE TRUE NATURE OF JESUS.

--Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, D.Sc. (2001) the Vessel of the Holy Spirit of the Creator of the Universe.

Religious symbols have been borrowed across cultures and religious boundaries for centuries that they rarely mean same things to a variety of fanatical followers or worshippers of the plethora of religions and denominations in our present world. How do we penetrate centuries of historical distortions of the originals to define the pristine truths from nature and established by our Creator so that we can arrive at the most objective version that is egalitarian, humane and applicable in all cultures, time and clime for world peace? Or, put in another fashion, how can we be certain that the doctrines and dogmas we hold on to today were/are not merely fake theories from the past. In short, how do we sift truth from human beliefs, myths, legends and/or fables forged and fabricated by sages of old or demagogues whose objectives were merely manipulating the masses of their generation into reverencing and/or obeying them sheepishly? This is the task before all of us. It is the only way to arrive at ONE WORLD RELIGION.
       --Dr J. K. Danmbaezue, PG Student (1981) after the Rev Jones/Guyana Mass Religious Suicide.

The Igbo people have no name for the Giver of Life! All we have are appellations that describe the evident and superlative traits of this Consummate Spirit that created, creates and will still continue to create and sustain all the beings; visible and invisible, animate and inanimate, human or inhuman for ages in the future;
  1. Chi-na-eke: the ultimate spirit that creates
  2. Chi-ukwu:   the greatest spirit
  3. Obasi bi n-elu: the omnipotent that lives on high
  4. Ama-di-oha: the supreme husband of all
  5. Ogara-nya ngada-nga: the wealthiest of the rich
  6. Ugwu ana-ari-atu egwu: the highest mountain that is climbed with trepidation
  7. Ogbajiri igwe kpoo ya nku: He that breaks steel and calls it dry wood
  8. Utu na agba igwe: bacteria that eats up iron, i.e. potent ant that tears iron to shreds
  9. Ogbu onye mbosi ndu n’ato ya oto: he that snuffs life out the arrogant at the apex of egocentric pride.
In our culture, one can only give a name to what one owns, has authority over and can dispose of at will! It is not right to give any name to the Creator; we describe what he is and does; “Chi-na-eke”, meaning; “the divine spirit that creates” or “Chi-Ukwu”; the Ultimate Spirit! Those who use the label “God or gods” for the Creator; have never spelt it backwards. Try it now and be shocked at what you get. The Igbo could not, should not and cannot use a pejorative term or even an honourable one for their Creator!
---------Preface to RENASCENT IGBO RELIGION by Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, Animator of I S M

Is it not cynical that each nation had prayers said for its soldiers before each battle? Were they praying to the same God? Religion is politics, but many uninformed adherents are hoodwinked into believing that “God” is their President General. He was/is the supreme dictator and priests and imams were only human administrators. In the current craze for wealth engaged in by  fake pastors, evangelists and overseer, exploitation in religion wears different gowns; annual missionary collections, church/mosque levies, pilgrimages, compulsory offertory collections, harvest and bazaars. To date, centuries after some colonised nations have won pseudo-political independence; none is independent of religious domination by their religio-political masters. The wonder of it all it that the above-underlined scenario is what has been happening and will continue to happen in churches/mosques all over Africa “world without end! Amen!” The congregation is short-changed by their wry religious leaders who wine, dine and womanise while they go a-borrowing to take care of their children’s health, education and other familial duties unaided by any one!
------‘BEWARE OF PROSPERITY GOSPEL PREACHERS’- Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, Animator of I S M

“Freedom of Religion is the right of a person to form personal religious beliefs according to his or her own conscience and to give public expression to these beliefs in worship and teaching, restricted only by the requirements of public order. Religious liberty differs from toleration in that toleration presupposes preferential treatment of a particular creed by the state because it is an established church or, in some cases, is the predominant religion of the population. To achieve worldwide religious freedom may seem impossible or sound like a mirage, but not to this astute thinker, this writer who has been under its theocratic enslavement for half-a-century. His answer is worth experimenting with. Have you read THE KENEZIAN CREED, DR KENEZ LETTER TO EDUCATIONISTS, THE KENEZIAN EPITAPH and THE ANIMATOR’S INTERNATIONAL PRAYER? After you have meditated on their contents, the formula for how ONE WORLD RELIGION can materialise is crystal clear to all rational human beings. We must first of take stock of the numerical strength of the plethora of factions in the major world religions for now and evaluate how counter-productive the multiplicity of religious organisations has demoralised and scandalised the youth. A worldwide religious census is imperative!”
---Rev. Prof. J.J.Kenez, the Humble vessel of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of the Universe.

Based on what historians have written on the emergence of religions, this author has observed that there is no semblance of religious freedom or independence in most communities and organisations all over the world.When one has to subscribe to the tenets a foreign religion, behave according to the doctrines and dogmas manufactured, labelled and patented outside one’s psycho-socio-cultural milieu, is such a person really independent?I know that there is only True God, the Almighty Creator of the entire universe, the greatest Designer, Architect and Engineer who embedded universal laws for the every being he has created. True worship of this Ultimate Reality is Obedience to all his Natural and Eternal Laws irrespective of place, time and clime surrounding each person’s birth, parentage and social status. Therefore, the only religion that we are born into is true adoration, thanksgiving, mutual respect and brother/sisterhood to all peoples. We must worship Him in the Spirit of Truth and Fraternal Love which his Holy Spirit dictates and infuses in our individual hearts.
Oh! that peace will reign among all the creatures of the Almighty Creator, I pray!

INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT is a universal spiritual fellowship for all natural scientists and rational human being who can decipher the truth despite centuries of deceit, subterfuge and indoctrinations. Equating Jesus to the Almighty Creator God contravenes the original commandments given to Patriarch Moses. Free yourself, my dear ones in the name of Jesus who said “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free!” You are invited to positively criticise every sentence or proposition in all of this lengthy discourse, backed up with relevant Bible quotations and correct or modify our errors provided you are very objective and can carry humanity along with you! ------------------------------------------Dr J.
