MEMBERSHIP OF INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT IS UNIVERSAL

Who are the bona-fide members of this new global crusade for a global peace?


They are the following categories of liberated minds that can agree to disagree on mundane issues of life BUT are rational to worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.

1.     Children of the Almighty Creator,
2.     Disciples of Patriarch Enoch,
3.     Students of Prophet Elijah,
4.     Younger Siblings of Christ Jesus and
5.     Cousins of Prophet Mohammed

They are resolute in obeying all the Natural Laws in creation irrespective of climatic or geographical variations, ethnic or racial origins, educational levels or social statuses, political or religious affiliations and therefore affirm this motto; ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN FAMILY in our world that is A WONDERFUL VILLAGE FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

My dearest bona-fide foundation members of I S M

IT TOOK ME TWELVE YEARS TO RESEARCH INTO THIS TRUTH AS JESUS EXPLAINED IN HIS ARGUMENT WITH HIS KINSMEN, NOT DISTANT RELATIVES.

HOW, WHERE AND WHY DID HE TELL THEM THEY WERE NOT OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM .. I WAS CONFUSED FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL I WAS TAKEN INTO A DEEP SLEEP...AND I HEARD A VOICE SAY...My son, go and digest JOHN 8 verse 30 - 47...

Here are the results....and please inform others about it..

If you combine it with the whole of JOHN 4 dealing with Jesus conversation with the woman at the well in Cana that was built by Jacob.......

YOU HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT PREACHING OF THE LORD AND MASTER  CHRIST JESUS as an I S M member

TRY ME WITH THIS SAMPLE OF HOW TO DECIPHER THE CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD


A DETAILED STUDY OF JOHN CHAPTER 8 VERSES 30 TILL 47

My concern always had been to prove that the descendants of the Devil through his first born-CAIN- are more in number in this world than the progeny of ADAM through his first born-SETH

From The People's New Testament Commentary on Jesus the Christ:

   The Father hath not left me alone. The Father was with him. He was with him and in him. He was "the brightness of the Father's glory" [Heb 1:3]. He did "those things that please him," and God was with him.

 30 As he <autos> spake <laleo> these words <tauta>, many <polus> believed <pisteuo> on <eis> him <autos>. (KJV)
 30 As he spoke thus, many believed in him. (RSV)
Joh 7:31; 10:42; 11:45

People's New Testament Commentary:


   Many believed. That he was a divine teacher.

 31 ¶ Then <oun> said <lego> Jesus <Iesous> to <pros> those Jews <Ioudaios> which <ho> believed <pisteuo> on him <autos>, If <ean> ye <humeis> continue <meno> in <en> my <emos> word <logos>, then are ye <este> my <mou> disciples <mathetes> indeed <alethos>; (KJV)
 31 ¶ Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB MHC PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   If ye continue in my word, then ye are my disciples indeed.
They "believed on him," but their faith was not yet made perfect by obedience. Hence he adds the condition of discipleship. Their belief must move them to accept his word and obey it. There is a condition, continue in my word; a promise, shall be my disciples.

 32 And <kai> ye shall know <ginosko> the truth <aletheia>, and <kai> the truth <aletheia> shall make <eleutheroo> you <humas> free <eleutheroo>. (KJV)
 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (RSV)
Ro 6:14,18,22; 8:2; Jas 1:25; 2:12
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   And ye shall know the truth. Disciples are learners. Their object is to know the truth. The way to know the truth is to obey the truth.

  The truth shall make you free. The Gospel obeyed, frees--frees from the yoke of Satan, from spiritual task-masters, from fear, fills the soul with hope and the free spirit of a son who serves the Father from love.

 33 They answered <apokrinomai> him <autos>, We be <esmen> Abraham's <Abraam> seed <sperma>, and <kai> were <douleuo> never <popote> in bondage <douleuo> to any man <oudeis>: how <pos> sayest <lego> thou <su>, <hoti> Ye shall be made <ginomai> free <eleutheros>? (KJV)
 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, 'You will be made free'?" (RSV)
Le 25:42; Mt 3:9; Joh 8:39
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:


   We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage. They trusted in their blood, rather than in obedience to the God of Abraham. Their proud language was false. Their nation had been in bondage for over six hundred years to Babylon, to Persia, to Macedon, to Syria, to Rome. They were also in bondage to sin.

 34 Jesus <Iesous> answered <apokrinomai> them <autos>, Verily <amen>, verily <amen>, I say <lego> unto you <humin>, <hoti> Whosoever <pas> committeth <poieo> sin <hamartia> is <esti> the servant <doulos> of sin <hamartia>. (KJV)
 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin. (RSV)
Ro 6:16,20; 2Pe 2:19
ACC Barnes JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. According to his custom, Christ makes no direct argument in reply, but states a truth and leaves them to apply it. The sinner is the slave of sin. See Ro 7:9-24.

 35 And <de> the servant <doulos> abideth <meno> not <ou> in <en> the house <oikia> for <eis> ever <aion>: but the Son <huios> abideth <meno> <eis> ever <aion>. (KJV)
 35 The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever. (RSV)
Ga 4:30
ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   The servant abideth not in the house for ever. The servant has no claim to remain continually in the same family, but may be changed at will. The son can remain because he is a son. The Jews, servants of sin, would soon be expelled from the Lord's house.

 36 If <ean> the Son <huios> therefore <oun> shall make <eleutheroo> you <humas> free <eleutheroo>, ye shall be <esomai> free <eleutheros> indeed <ontos>. (KJV)
 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. (RSV)
Ro 8:2; Ga 5:1
Barnes FBN JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. If you would be free indeed you must have the freedom that the Son bestows, and become children. In order to fully comprehend the figure, read Ga 4:19-21.

 37 I know <eido> that <hoti> ye are <este> Abraham's <Abraam> seed <sperma>; but <alla> ye seek <zeteo> to kill <apokteino> me <me>, because <hoti> my <emos> word <logos> hath <choreo> no <ou> place <choreo> in <en> you <humin>. (KJV)
 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. (RSV)
Joh 7:19; 8:40
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN MHCC PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:


   I know that ye are Abraham's seed. According to the flesh, but not according to the spirit. Abraham had no such spirit as they.

 38 ¶ I <ego> speak <laleo> that which <hos> I have seen <horao> with <para> my <mou> Father <pater>: and <kai> ye <humeis> do <poieo> that <oun> which <hos> ye have seen <horao> with <para> your <humon> father <pater>. (KJV)
 38 ¶ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father." (RSV)
Joh 3:32; 5:19,30; 14:10,24
ACC Barnes FBN JFB MHC PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   I speak that which I have seen with my Father. Jesus was the Son; he had dwelt in the Father's house. They had the spirit of Satan, and hence were, spiritually, his children.

 39 They answered <apokrinomai> and <kai> said <epo> unto him <autos>, Abraham <Abraam> is <esti> our <hemon> father <pater>. Jesus <Iesous> saith <lego> unto them <autos>, If <ei> ye were <en> Abraham's <Abraam> children <teknon>, ye would do <poieo> <an> the works <ergon> of Abraham <Abraam>. (KJV)
 39 They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did, (RSV)

 41 Ye <humeis> do <poieo> the deeds <ergon> of your <humon> father <pater>. Then <oun> said they <epo> to him <autos>, We <hemeis> be <gennao> not <ou> born <gennao> of <ek> fornication <porneia>; we have <echo> one <heis> Father <pater>, even God <theos>. (KJV)

Joh 5:43; 7:28-29; 16:27; 17:8,25; 1Jo 5:1
ACC Barnes JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   If God were your Father, ye would love me. They made this claim (Joh 8:41). Their hatred of the Son was proof that they were not God's children.

 43 Why <diati> do ye <ginosko> not <ou> understand <ginosko> my <emos> speech <lalia>? even because <hoti> ye cannot <ou> <dunamai> hear <akouo> my <emos> word <logos>. (KJV)
 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. (RSV)
Joh 7:17
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:



   Ye cannot hear my word. Cannot receive it because Satan has your hearts, and is your father.

 44 Ye <humeis> are <este> of <ek> your father <pater> the devil <diabolos>, and <kai> the lusts <epithumia> of your <humon> father <pater> ye will <thelo> do <poieo>.

 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (RSV)
Mt 13:38; 1Jo 3:8; Jude 1:6
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   Ye are of your father, the devil. There are two households: that of God, composed of his children; and that of the devil, composed of his children. All who hear the voice of Christ become God's children by adoption (Ro 8:15-17), and all who refuse to hear him, do so because they belong to the devil's household and hear his voice. They "will do the lusts of their father."

  He was a murderer from the beginning. He caused the first murder, moves those who do murder, and those who seek to kill Christ are of his spirit.

 45 And <de> because <hoti> I <ego> tell <lego> you the truth <aletheia>, ye believe <pisteuo> me <moi> not <ou>. (KJV)
 45 But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. (RSV)

 46 ¶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? (RSV)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   Which of you convinceth me of sin? He points to his sinless character as a proof that there can be no falsehood in his words.

 47 He that is <on> of <ek> God <theos> heareth <akouo> God's <theos> words <rhema>: ye <humeis> therefore <touto> <dia> hear <akouo> them not <ou>, because <hoti> ye are <este> not <ou> of <ek> God <theos>. (KJV)

Joh 7:20; 8:52; 10:20
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN MHC MHCC PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? They resort to the language of passion and vituperation. Of all men they hated the Samaritans most, and hence this charge. They next accuse him, not of having a devil, but of being possessed with a demon, or evil spirit.

 49 Jesus <Iesous> answered <apokrinomai>, I <ego> have <echo> not <ou> a devil <daimonion>; but <alla> I honour <timao> my <mou> Father <pater>, and <kai> ye <humeis> do dishonour <atimazo> me <me>. (KJV)
 49 Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. (RSV)
ACC Barnes JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   I honour my Father. He passes by in silence their first charge; the second he shows cannot be true, for he honors his Father, which a demon could not do; and yet the Jews dishonored him, while he honored the Father.

 50 And <de> I <ego> seek <zeteo> not <ou> mine own <mou> glory <doxa>: there is <esti> one that seeketh <zeteo> and <kai> judgeth <krino>. (KJV)

Joh 5:24; 11:26
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN MHC PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN
People's New Testament Commentary:


   If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. Here again is a condition and a promise. Notice
(1) Its universal character: If any one, Jew or Gentile, male or female, bond or free.
(2) The condition: Keep my words. By obedience we are not only freed, but enter into life.
(3) [The promise:] Shall not see death. Death of the body is not reckoned death, but merely the gate through which the believer enters upon a more perfect life. The real death is that of the soul.

 52 Then <oun> said <epo> the Jews <Ioudaios> unto him <autos>, Now <nun> we know <ginosko> that <hoti> thou hast <echo> a devil <daimonion>.

 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?" (RSV)
Barnes PNTC RWP TFG TSK
People's New Testament Commentary:


   Art thou greater than our father Abraham? Their argument is: They that heard the word of God are dead, and shall they who have heard thee not die? Their question is asked in scorn. Compare Joh 4:12.

 54 Jesus <Iesous> answered <apokrinomai>, If <ean> I <ego> honour <doxazo> myself <emautou>, my <mou> honour <doxa> is <esti> nothing <oudeis>: it is <esti> my <mou> Father <pater> that honoureth <doxazo> me <me>; of whom <hos> ye <humeis> say <lego>, that <hoti> he is <esti> your <humon> God <theos>: (KJV)

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


   If I honour myself, my honour is nothing. They had just asked: "Whom makest thou thyself?" [Joh 8:53]. The Father, who honoreth him, will settle that question by his resurrection from the dead and exaltation.

 55 Yet <kai> ye have <ginosko> not <ou> known <ginosko> him <autos>; but <de> I <ego> know <eido> him <autos>: and <kai> if <ean> I should say <epo>, <hoti> I know <eido> him <autos> not <ou>, I shall be <esomai> a liar <pseustes> like <homoios> unto you <humon>: but <alla> I know <eido> him <autos>, and <kai> keep <tereo> his <autos> saying <logos>.

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


   Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? It had been about two thousand years since the time of Abraham. Jesus did not say he had seen Abraham, but they pervert his words.

 58 Jesus <Iesous> said <epo> unto them <autos>, Verily <amen>, verily <amen>, I say <lego> unto you <humin>, Before <prin> Abraham <Abraam> was <ginomai>, I <ego> am <eimi>. (KJV)

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


   Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. A solemn and official declaration, preceded by "Verily, verily" [see PNTC for Joh 3:3]. The utterance is a remarkable one. It does not merely assert that he was before Abraham, but before Abraham was, I AM. It identifies with the I AM of the Old Testament. Divinity has no past tense, no future tense, but always the present.

 59 Then <oun> took they up <airo> stones <lithos> to <hina> cast <ballo> at <epi> him <autos>: but <de> Jesus <Iesous> hid himself <krupto>, and <kai> went <exerchomai> out of <ek> the temple <hieron>, going <dierchomai> through <dia> the midst <mesos> of them <autos>, and <kai> so <houto> passed by <parago>.

    They took up stones to cast at him. They regarded his language blasphemy. If he had been only a man it would have been.

My dearly beloved, all the colourings were mine for emphasis. You are not a child of the Creator God just by regurgitating what most pastors repeat day-in day-out and you all begin to sound like a broken record! If you tell the undiluted truth all your life YOU ARE OF GOD through Adam and his real first born Seth if otherwise, you are of the Devil through Cain, whom he taught how to kill able and lie about it  i.e. 
       YOU SPEAK THE NATIVE LANGUAGE OF SATAN    …  QED
IT IS AS SIMPLE AS & THAT IS WHAT DR KENEZ FOUND OUT


THEN READ THIS FROM ADAM CLARKE’S COMMENTARY

John 8:44; Verse 44.  Ye are of your father the devil] Ye are the seed of the old serpent. See ACC for Joh 8:37.

  The lusts of your father] Like father like son. What Satan desires, ye desire; because ye are filled with his nature. Awful state of unregenerate men! They have the nearest alliance to Satan; they partake of his nature and have in them the same principles and propensities which characterize the very nature and essence of the devil! Reader, canst thou rest in this state? Apply to God, through Christ, that thou mayest be born again.

  He was a murderer from the beginning] It was through him that Adam transgressed; in consequence of which death entered into the world, and slew him and all his posterity. This was the sentiment of the Jews themselves. In Sohar Kadash, the wicked are called, "The children of the old serpent, who slew Adam and all his descendants." See Schoettgen.

  Abode not in the truth] He stood not in the truth-was once in a state of glorious felicity, but fell from it; and, being deprived of all good himself, he could not endure that others should enjoy any; therefore by his lies he deceived Eve, and brought her, her husband, and, through them, their posterity, into his own condemnation.

  He speaketh of his own] ek twn idiwn lalei, He speaketh of his own offspring, or, from his own disposition, for he is the father and fountain of all error and falsity; and all who are deceived by him, and partake of his disposition, falsity and cruelty, are his offspring, for he is a liar, and the father of it-kai o pathr autou-literally, his father also. There is considerable difficulty in this verse. The Cainites, and the Archontites, mentioned by Epiphanius, read it thus: "Ye are the children of your father the devil, because he is a liar, and his father was a liar. He was a man-slayer, and he did not remain in the truth. When he speaketh, he speaketh a lie of his own, (progenitors understood,) because his father also was a liar." The consequences which the above heretics drew from this verse were the following. They said that the father of the Jews was a demon; that he also had a demon for his father; and that he had a demon for his father, &c. The Archontites maintained that Cain had a demon for his father, the spirit which our Lord speaks of here; and that the Jews proceeded from the race of Cain.

Grotius, supposing that the devil who tempted Eve was not the prince of devils, but rather a subordinate one, seems to think he may be understood here, he is a liar, and his father also, which is the literal translation of the latter clause of the text, wv kai o pathr autou, as it has been read by many of the primitive fathers.

Mr. Wakefield, by changing to, before qeudov, into tiv, gives the text the following translation:-"The devil is your father, and ye willingly perform the lusts of your father. He was a man-slayer from the first, and continued not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When ANY ONE speaketh a lie, he speaketh according to his own kindred: for his father also is a liar." Our own translation, that refers pathr autou to qeudov, a lie, and not to qeusthv, a liar, is probably the most correct.

GERMAN VERSION OF JESUS IN AN UNAMBIGUOUS STAEMENT DECLARED HE WAS ONLY A PROPHET

GERMAN VERSION OF JESUS IN AN  UNAMBIGUOUS STATEMENT DECLARED HE WAS ONLY A PROPHET


JESUS ​​IN unmissverständlich gesagt, dass er ein Prophet WIE ELIJAH & Elisa

Von:

Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, D.Sc.
Das Humble Schiff des Heiligen Geistes des Allmächtigen Schöpfer des Universums

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

1. Christenheit, denn jetzt ist verwirrt! Die Lehre von der "Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit" ist dämonisch und sehr abgöttisch in Bezug auf die Gleichsetzung Jesu mit dem Schöpfer!
2. Es verletzt die ersten drei Gebote Moses erhielt auf dem Berg Sinai!
3. Ein heidnischer Kaiser vergöttert ihn um eine Christin heiraten vor Jahrhunderten und bis heute Christen kommen ihm in den Götzendienst zu versuchen, Jesus richten sich gegen seinen Vater!
4. Jesus nie nannte sich 'Sohn Gottes' sondern er bestand immer auf "Son of Man" alle durch die Evangelien. Sowohl "Jesus" und "Christus" sind griechischen Wörtern, nicht die aramäischen Namen der Engel gab ihm!
5. Es gibt nicht einen Platz 'Jesus Christus' als einer doppelläufigen Namen für Jesus in all den Originaltexten der King James Version der christlichen Bibel benutzt!
6. Saulus von Tarsus immer nannte ihn so: 'Jesus Christus'. Warum? "Christus" ist ein Titel, den er für totalen Gehorsam verdient bis zum Tod am Kreuz ", weshalb er sich einen Namen über alle Namen gegeben wurde, so dass bei der Erwähnung des Namens jedes Knie sich beugen."
7. 'Prof. Kenez "ist nicht dasselbe wie" Kenez Prof. 'Denken Sie darüber für eine Weile! Papst Paul ist nicht dasselbe wie Paul Pope. Oder ist es?
8. Adam war definitiv der "Sohn Gottes", und nur er konnte mit Recht behaupten, dass es!
9. Gott umbenannt Solomon 'Jedidah' und nur er könnte auch behaupten, der Titel!
10. Aber für Jesus, er war nie ein Gott noch war er gleich 'Gott, den allmächtigen Vater ", wie viele falsch Christen in den fanatischen Gebete und kommerzielle Texte der Lobpreislieder vermarktet heute darzustellen!
ERÜBRIGT TO ONE WHO stets erklärt, dass er vergöttern;

• "Son of Man", das ist 194 Mal erwähnt sowohl im AT und NT wurde als gegen den "Sohn Gottes" erwähnt nur 47 mal, und Jesus bezieht sich 48 Mal in den Evangelien) und
• "A Prophet", wie er erklärte, in Matt 10:40-41: "Wer Sie mich aufnimmt, und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt mich gesandt hat. Wer einen Propheten aufnimmt im Namen eines Propheten erhalten eine Propheten belohnen ".
• Es schlägt meine Argumentation Fakultäten wenn religiöse Fanatiker blind befolgt werden, nur weil sie sich Pastoren, Evangelisten, Priester oder Bischöfe rufen.
• Paulus, der Apostel der Heiden, nie zu Jesus als Co-gleich zu Gott, dem Schöpfer und Vater aller Menschen bezeichnet! Er hat nie umgekehrt die Ordnung, die er immer verwendet, um sich auf ihn beziehen, Christus Jesus.
• In allen vier Evangelien in original King James Version, gab es nicht einen einzigen Einsatz von Jesus mit einer anderen Anlage oder Appellation, nur Jesus! Darüber hinaus ist das Wort "Jesus" griechische, nicht die aramäischen Namen der Engel gab ihm!
• Nein, es war einige römische Theologen, die ihre eigene erfundene Evangelium und den beigefügten; 'St John', um ihre tückischen Erzählung, dass Jesus vergöttert. Sie manipuliert die gesamte NT ihre falschen Lehren und Dogmen zu reflektieren. Nirgendwo in der vier Evangelien wurde Jesus jemals angesprochen als "Christ".

Der "Retter" oder "Messias" war ein Titel, den er verdient seit seiner Vorgänger gescheitert, um den Status zu erreichen. Dies erreichte er durch totale Gehorsam gegenüber dem Willen des Allmächtigen, während andere fummelte!
• Moses war ein Retter für die versklavten Israeliten in Ägypten, aber er schlug den Felsen zweimal statt einmal und so ist fehlgeschlagen.
• Samson war ein Retter für die Israeliten von den Philistern misshandelt, aber trotz seiner Salbung aus dem Mutterleib, erlaubte er ihm Delilah in die Irre führen.
• Solomon war ein Retter König von Gott auserwählt zu bauen ihm einen Tempel und Wiederherstellung des Friedens in Israel, aber trotz der enormen Weisheit auf ihn für die Zuordnung verliehen, er wurde eine leichte Beute für die Königin von Saba!

Allerdings verdient Jesus den begehrten Titel aufgrund seiner Übereinstimmung mit dem Willen des allmächtigen Vaters; Matt 7.21; 21 "Nicht jeder, der zu mir sagt: Herr, Herr ', wird in das Himmelreich kommen, sondern nur, wer den Willen tun meines Vaters im Himmel ist und insgesamt Gehorsam gegenüber seinen Geboten;. Matt 0.50; 50 Denn wer den Willen tut meines Vaters im Himmel ist mein Bruder und meine Schwester und Mutter, "alle durch seinen Dienst, das Verdienst Erhebung zur heilbringenden Prophet, versprach der Messias sein Volk von der Zeit Abrahams. Er besiegte den Teufel und er zeichnete, wo andere gescheitert waren.
Matt 4,1-11; 4:1 Da wurde Jesus vom Geist in die Wüste, um vom Teufel in Versuchung geführt werden. .... 3 Und der Versucher trat zu ihm und sagte: "Wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so sage diese Steine ​​Brot werden." .... 5 Dann nahm ihn der Teufel in die heilige Stadt und ließ ihn auf dem höchsten Punkt des Tempels stehen. 6 "Wenn du der Sohn Gottes bist", sagte er, ". Stürz dich hinab 7 Jesus antwortete ihm:" Es steht auch geschrieben: '. Legen Sie nicht den Herrn, deinen Gott, nicht versuchen "" 8 Wiederum nimmt der Teufel ihn zu einem sehr hohen Berg und zeigte ihm alle Reiche der Welt und ihre Pracht. 9 "All das will ich dir geben", sagte er, "wenn Sie beugen und mich anbeten." 10 Jesus sagte zu ihm: " Weg von mir, Satan! Denn es steht geschrieben: 'verehren den Herrn, deinen Gott, und ihm allein dienen.' "11 Da verließ ihn der Teufel und Engel kamen und dienten ihm.

Mit Berufung auf nur Elia und Elisa, 24 "Ich sage euch die Wahrheit", fuhr er fort, "kein Prophet in seiner Heimatstadt angenommen ..... 26 Doch Elijah wurde keiner von ihnen geschickt, nur zu einer Witwe in Sarepta in der Region . Sidon 27 Und es gab viele in Israel mit Lepra in der Zeit des Propheten Elisa, aber nicht einer von ihnen wurde gereinigt nur der Syrer Naaman; "Jesus wurde mit Nachdruck erklärt, dass nur drei von ihnen am nächsten zu den Forderungen der ultimative kam Erhebung zur "Christheit"! Was er uns zu sagen, oder, dass er vergaß absichtlich, uns zu sagen war, was er wollte andere richtig zu machen scheiterte, warum er die Willenskraft, nein zu sagen zum Teufel hatte alles durch seinen Dienst und wie er packte den Titel, während andere tat nicht!
Er akribisch untersucht die Gesetze, die Propheten und verdaut alle Bücher über das Judentum; Matt 5:17-18; 17 "Denke nicht, dass ich gekommen bin, das Gesetz oder die Propheten aufzulösen; ich bin nicht gekommen, um aufzuheben, sondern um zu erfüllen ihnen. 18 Ich sage euch die Wahrheit: Bis Himmel und Erde vergehen, nicht der kleinste Buchstabe, nicht zuletzt mit einem Federstrich, wird mit allen Mitteln aus dem Gesetz verschwinden, bis alles geschehen ist. "
Ab dem Alter von 12 bis 30, das wurde in allen seinen Biographien fehlt, lebte er eine klösterliche Leben außerhalb seiner Gemeinde! Am Abschluss und Rückkehr in seine Heimat, ließ er John ihm im Jordan, wo er gesalbt wurde als "Sohn Gottes" zu taufen; Matt 3.17 bis 04.01 Uhr; 17 und eine Stimme aus dem Himmel sprach: "Dies ist mein Sohn, den ich liebe, mit ihm habe ich Wohlgefallen ". Hier wurde er als vollkommener Meister, der Israel erlösen angenommen. Dry Fasten für vierzig Tage und Nächte vorausgegangen sein Ministerium. Er als Wanderprediger und durch die kraft der harten Arbeit und Loyalität gegenüber der allmächtig und allwissend Gott wir alle Anbetung als den Schöpfer des Universums praktiziert wird, erreicht er die ultimative Messias und wurde der "Christ"!

Meine These ist, dass Jesus, der Christus, den Höhepunkt erreicht Stewardship durch eine detaillierte Beachtung aller Details, die über den Messias vorausgesagt wurden!

HIER IST EIN VERBATIM Zitat aus der Bibel, die zustimmt und erschöpfende bestätigt meine Behauptung

Lukas 4:20-32

20 Dann rollte er die Navigationstaste, gab es dem Diener zurück und setzte sich. Die Augen aller in der Synagoge waren auf ihn gerichtet,

 21, und er begann mit den Worten zu ihnen: "Heute ist diese Schrift vor euren Ohren erfüllt."

22 Alle sprachen gut von ihm und wurden an den gnädigen Worte, die aus seinem Munde kamen erstaunt. "Ist das nicht der Sohn Josefs?" fragten sie.

23 Jesus sprach zu ihnen: "Sicherlich werden Sie dieses Sprichwort zu mir zitieren: '. Arzt, heile dich tun hier in Ihrer Heimatstadt, was wir gehört haben, dass Sie in Kapernaum tat'"

24 "Ich sage euch die Wahrheit", fuhr er fort, "kein Prophet in seiner Heimatstadt akzeptiert wird.

25 Ich versichere Ihnen, dass es viele Witwen in Israel zu Elias Zeit, als der Himmel für drei und ein halbes Jahr geschlossen war und es gab eine große Hungersnot über das ganze Land.

26 Doch Elijah wurde keiner von ihnen geschickt, nur zu einer Witwe in Sarepta in der Region von Sidon.

 27 Und es gab viele in Israel mit Lepra in der Zeit des Propheten Elisa, aber nicht einer von ihnen wurde gereinigt nur der Syrer Naaman. "

28 Alle Leute in der Synagoge waren wütend, als sie das hörten.

29 Sie stand auf, trieb ihn aus der Stadt, und nahm ihn auf die Stirn des Hügels, auf dem die Stadt gebaut wurde, um ihn zu werfen die Klippe hinunter.

30 Aber er ging mitten durch die Menge und ging seines Weges.

31 Dann ging er hinab nach Kapernaum, einer Stadt in Galiläa, und am Sabbat begann, die Menschen zu lehren. 32 Sie entsetzten sich über seine Lehre erstaunt, denn seine Botschaft hatte Autorität.

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 22. Auf die Worte der Gnade], um die Worte der Gnade, epi toiv logoiv thv caritov oder die Lehre von der Gnade, die er dann predigte. Es ist sehr seltsam, dass keiner der Evangelisten uns gegenüber wegen dieser Predigt! Es war auf jeden Fall mehr davon als in Lu 4.21 zusammen. Heute ist diese Schrift erfüllt vor euren Ohren; die war nicht mehr als der erste Satz, den er bei der Gelegenheit sprach zu haben scheint. Wäre es notwendig gewesen für unsere Erlösung, wäre es aufgezeichnet worden. Es war eine Demonstration zu den Juden, dass Jesus, der ihnen gepredigt, die Person, von der der Prophet dort sprach, war: es wurde nicht für den allgemeinen Erbauung konzipiert. Lassen Sie uns einen guten Gebrauch von dem, was wir haben, und wir sollst nicht bedauern, dass diese Predigt verloren geht. Das Ohr ist nie zufrieden mit dem Hören: Wir wollen für einen anderen und weiteren Offenbarung, während leider mit der Natur und Design, dass die Barmherzigkeit Gottes hat uns bereits gegeben unbekannt.
 23 Und er sprach zu ihnen: "Zweifellos werden Sie mir dieses Sprichwort zu zitieren," Arzt, heile dich, was wir gehört haben, hast du in Kafarnaum, haben auch hier im eigenen Land. "(RSV)
 23 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Ohne Zweifel werden Sie mir sagen, Lasst die Mediziner machen sich gut: die Dinge, die unser Wissen in Kapernaum fertig waren, tun sie hier in Ihrem Land. (BBE)

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 25. In den Tagen des Elias] Sehen Sie diese Geschichte, 1Kö 17:1-9, verglichen mit 1Kö 18:1-45. Dies war offenbar ein Wunder Störungen, da kein regen fiel für drei Jahre und sechs Monate, sogar in der Regenzeit. Es waren zwei von ihnen in Judäa, rief der erste und der Spätregen, der erste fiel im Oktober, wobei letztere im April: Die erste bereitete den Boden für die Saat, reifte dieser die Ernte. Wie diese beiden Regenfälle wurden einbehalten, folglich gab es eine große Hungersnot über das ganze Land.
  26 und Elijah wurde keiner von ihnen, sondern nur nach Sarepta geschickt, in das Land von Sidon, zu einer Frau, die eine Witwe war. (RSV)
 26 Aber Elia war nicht einer von ihnen geschickt, aber nur nach Sarepta im Lande von Sidon, zu einer Frau, die eine Witwe war. (BBE)
ACC Barnes JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 26. Unto keiner von ihnen wurde Elia gesandt, zu Sarepta speichern] Der Satz ist elliptisch, und bedeutet dies: Um keiner von ihnen wurde Elia gesandt, er wurde nicht außer Sarepta gesendet, für die Witwe in Sarepta war ein Sidonian, nicht eine Witwe Israel. PEARCE.-Sarepta war eine heidnische Stadt des Landes von Sidon, in der Nähe von Galiläa.
  27 Und viele Aussätzige gab es in Israel zur Zeit des Propheten Elisa, und keiner von ihnen wurde gereinigt, sondern nur der Syrer Naaman "(RSV).

ACC Barnes FBN JWN PNTC RWP TSK

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 27. Keiner von ihnen wurde gereinigt] Dieser Vers ist als der 26. verstanden werden, denn Naaman, ein Syrer, war kein Aussätziger in Israel.
Die Bedeutung dieser Verse ist, verzichtet Gott seine Wohltaten, wann, wo und an wen er will. Kein Mensch kann sein Verhalten in dieser Hinsicht zu beklagen, weil kein Mensch verdient etwas Gutes aus der Hand. Gott straft nicht jeder, aber diejenigen, die es verdienen, aber er segnet unaufhörlich diejenigen, die es verdienen, nicht. Der Grund ist offensichtlich: Gerechtigkeit hängt von bestimmten Regeln, aber Wohltätigkeit ist kostenlos. Wohltätigkeit segnen kann sowohl das Gute und das Böse, Gerechtigkeit kann die letztere nur zu bestrafen. Diejenigen, die nicht machen diese Unterscheidung muss eine sehr verwirrt Begriff des Verhaltens der göttlichen Vorsehung bei den Männern.
  28 Als sie das hörten, wurden alle in der Synagoge mit Zorn erfüllt. (RSV)
 28 Und alle, die in der Synagoge waren, waren sehr wütend, wenn diese Dinge zu ihnen gesagt wurden. (BBE)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 28. Wurden mit Zorn erfüllt] Sie scheinen zu ziehen folgende Schlussfolgerung aus, was unser Herr sprach zu haben: ". Die Heiden sind kostbar in den Augen Gottes als die Juden, und ihnen seine Wunder der Barmherzigkeit und Güte ist grundsätzlich beschränkt werden" Das war ziemlich in der Nähe der Wahrheit, wie die Veranstaltung bewiesen. Diejenigen, die nicht durch das Licht Gottes profitieren, während es unter ihnen ist, hat ihre Kerze erloschen. Das Reich Gottes wurde von den Juden genommen und den Heiden gegeben; nicht, weil die Heiden besser, als sie waren, waren, sondern weil, 1.. Die Juden hatten ihre Privilegien eingebüßt, und 2dly. Weil Christus sah, dass die Heiden hervorbringen würde die Früchte des Reiches.

Adam Clarke Commentary:
Vers 29. Die Stirn des Hügels] Mr. Maundrel sagt uns, dass dies immer noch heißt "Der Berg der Niederschlag, und ist eine halbe Meile südlich von Nazareth In werde es, müssen Sie zunächst über das Tal, in dem Nazareth steht überqueren;., Und dann hinunter zwei oder drei Stadien, in einem schmalen Spalt zwischen den Felsen, da Sie erklimmen einen kurzen, aber schwierigen Weg auf der rechten Seite, an der Spitze, von denen Sie einen großen Stein steht am Rande eines Abgrunds, das heißt auf die Stelle, wo unser Herr bestimmt den von seinem wütenden Nachbarn geworfen wurde zu sein. " Maundrel Journey, p. 116. Bearbeiten. 5.. 1.732.

In diesem langwierigen Diskurs hat die biblische Scholar hat uns reichlich Beweise, um zu zeigen, dass Jesus wie andere Propheten, die vor ihm tat kam durchgeführt!

Also, meine Nörgelei mit modernen Fanatiker; DID Jesus jemals behaupten, er entsprach SEINEN VATER? Hat er JEDERZEIT niemandem sagen die echten Zeichen des Endes der Welt? Er sagte mit Nachdruck an einer Stelle, dass nur der Allmächtige Vater das Ende der Welt kannte.

Die Gesetze Moses auf dem Berg Sinai empfangen wird grob von den Lehren und Dogmen in Rom durch "Ärzte der Kirche 'patentiert verletzt. Welche Ärzte und welcher Kirche verstehen wir unter diesem Phraseologie meine, wenn Sie fragen? Die Kirche in Rom ist die verfälschte Kopie der ursprünglichen Kirche in Antiochien und die authentische Botschaft der Apostel Peter und James geleitet. Die Lehren sind Verfälschungen auf Paul von Kaiser Konstantin gezwungen, ihm zu erlauben erklären als nationale Religion Mithraism ersetzen.

Wenn Sie Rev. Prof. JJ Kenez aka Dr Kenez Danmbaezue zweifeln dann Consult Books on Church History. Er wusste nicht erhalten einen Doktortitel in Kirchengeschichte, und selbst wenn er es tat, ist die Folge der Inquisition und Exkommunikationen von bemerkenswerten Wissenschaftler, die die Wahrheit sagen gewagt genug für ihn, die Echtheit der römischen Historiker zweifeln.
Nun, lassen Sie US EVALUATE Einige Referenzen aus dem "Menschensohn" in der Bibel
(Alle Zitate in diesem Abschnitt aus der Bibel entnommen: New International Version Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, von International Bible Society, für seine aktuellen englischen Wert.)
Num 23:19-20; - 19 Gott ist nicht ein Mensch, dass er lüge, noch ein Menschensohn, dass er seine Meinung ändern sollte. Spricht er und dann nicht handeln? Hat er versprechen und nicht zu erfüllen? 20 Ich habe einen Befehl zu segnen empfangen, er hat gesegnet, und ich kann es nicht ändern. "
Ps 80:17-19; - 17 Lassen Sie Ihre Hand ruhen auf den Mann zu deiner Rechten, der Sohn des Menschen Sie für sich selbst erhoben haben. 18 Dann werden wir nicht von euch wenden; beleben uns, und wir werden deinen Namen anrufen. 19 Wiederherstellen uns, Herr, allmächtiger Gott, Ihr Gesicht auf uns scheinen, dass wir gerettet werden können.
War Jesus eine Reinkarnation des Propheten Ezechiel?
Der Grund warum ich frage dies, weil keine andere Person wurde mehr oft als, "Sohn des Menschen" in der gesamten Bibel.
Beachten Sie, dass Matthäus 32 Referenzen des Etiketts während Ezekiel hat mehr als 94! Kapitel 2 und 3 enthalten das Etikett allein 10-mal. Was ist die Verbindung?
Ez 2.01 bis 03.27 Uhr
02.01 Er sprach zu mir: "Du Menschenkind, stehen auf den Füßen, und ich werde mit dir sprechen."
2 Während er sprach, kam der Geist in mich und stellte mich auf meine Füße, und ich hörte ihn mit mir zu sprechen.
3 Er sagte: "Menschensohn, ich sende dich zu den Kindern Israel, zu einem rebellischen Nation, die gegen mich aufgelehnt hat, sie und ihre Väter haben in der Revolte gegen mich bis zum heutigen Tag gewesen.
4 Die Menschen, zu denen ich sende euch sind eigensinnig und stur. Sprich zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR. "
5 Und ob sie hören oder nicht hören - denn sie sind ein widerspenstiges Haus - sie werden wissen, daß ein Prophet unter ihnen gewesen ist.
6 Und du, Menschensohn, fürchte dich nicht von ihnen oder ihren Worten. Scheuen Sie sich nicht, wenn Dornen und Disteln alle um dich herum sind, und Sie leben unter Skorpione. Scheuen Sie sich nicht von dem, was sie sagen oder von ihnen Angst, obwohl sie sind ein widerspenstiges Haus.
7. Sie müssen meine Worte mit ihnen zu sprechen, ob sie hören oder nicht hören, denn sie rebellisch sind.
8 Aber du, Menschensohn, was ich sage, um Ihnen zuzuhören. Nicht, wie das ungehorsame Haus rebellieren; öffnen Sie Ihren Mund und essen, was ich dir geben ".
9 Und ich sah, und ich sah eine Hand ausgestreckt zu mir. In ihm war eine Schriftrolle,
10, die er vor mir entrollte. Auf beiden Seiten von ihm geschrieben wurden Worte der Klage und Trauer und Leid.
Ezekiel 3
03.01 Und er sprach zu mir: "Du Menschenkind, essen, was Sie vor dem Essen, diese Schriftrolle, dann gehen und sprechen Sie mit dem Hause Israel."
2 Also öffnete ich meinen Mund, und er gab mir die blättern zu essen.
3 Dann sagte er zu mir: "Du Menschenkind, diese Schriftrolle essen ich euch gebe, und füllen den Magen mit ihm." Also aß ich sie, und sie schmeckte so süß wie Honig in meinen Mund.
4 Er sagte dann zu mir: "Du Menschenkind, jetzt gehen, um das Haus Israel und sprechen meine Worte zu ihnen.
5 Sie werden nicht zu einem Volk von obskuren Sprache und schwierige Sprache, sondern zum Hause Israel gesandt -
6 nicht zu vielen Völkern der obskuren Sprache und schwierige Sprache, deren Worte du nicht verstehst. Sicherlich, wenn ich dich zu ihnen geschickt hatte, würden sie auf dich hören sollen.
7 Aber das Haus Israel ist nicht bereit, um Ihnen zuzuhören, weil sie nicht bereit, mir zuzuhören, für das ganze Haus Israel ist gehärtet und hartnäckig.
8 Aber ich will euch als unnachgiebig und gehärtet, wie sie sind.
9 Ich will deine Stirn wie der härteste Stein, härter als Feuerstein machen. Scheuen Sie sich nicht von ihnen oder Angst von ihnen, obwohl sie sind ein widerspenstiges Haus. "
10 Und er sprach zu mir: "Du Menschenkind, genau zuzuhören und zu ergreifen, um alle Worte, die ich zu euch rede Herz.
11 Gehen Sie jetzt auf Ihre Landsleute im Exil und mit ihnen sprechen. Sprich zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR, 'ob sie hören oder nicht hören. "
12 Und der Geist hob mich empor, und ich hörte hinter mir eine laute Grollen - Möge die Herrlichkeit des HERRN in seinem Wohnplatz gelobt werden! -
13 der Klang der Flügel der lebendigen Wesen Bürsten gegeneinander und das Geräusch der Räder neben ihnen, ein lautes Grollen.
14 Der Geist dann hob mich hoch und brachte mich weg, und ich ging in Bitterkeit und Wut in der meines Geistes, mit der starken Hand des HERRN auf mich.
15 kam ich zu den Verbannten, die sich in der Nähe des Tel Abib Kebar Fluss lebten. Und dort, wo sie lebten, setzte ich mich unter ihnen sieben Tage lang - überfordert.
16 Am Ende von sieben Tagen das Wort des HERRN zu mir kam:
17 "Menschensohn, ich habe dich zum Wächter gesetzt über das Haus Israel, so höre das Wort, das ich sprechen und ihnen warnen von mir.
18 Wenn ich zu einem bösen Menschen sagen: "Du wirst sterben", und Sie nicht ihn zu warnen oder zu sprechen, um ihn von seinem bösen Wege abzubringen, um sein Leben zu retten, wird diese bösen Menschen für seine Sünde sterben, und ich halten Sie die Verantwortung für sein Blut.
19 Aber wenn Sie warnen den bösen Menschen und tun er nicht von seiner Bosheit oder von seinem bösen Wegen umzukehren, wird er für seine Sünde sterben, aber du wirst dich gerettet.
20 "Auch wenn ein rechtschaffener Mann von seiner Gerechtigkeit wendet und tut Böses, und ich habe einen Stolperstein vor ihm, wird er sterben. Da Sie nicht ihn zu warnen, so wird er für seine Sünde sterben. Die Gerechten Dinge, die er getan wird nicht vergessen werden, und ich werde halten Sie verantwortlich für sein Blut.
21 Aber wenn Sie warnen den Gerechten, nicht zu sündigen und zu tun er sündigt nicht, wird er sicherlich leben, weil er Warnung nahm, und Sie werden sich retten können. "
22 Die Hand des HERRN über mich gibt, und er sagte zu mir: "Steh auf und geh auf die Ebene, und dort werde ich mit Ihnen sprechen."
23 Also stand ich auf und ging hinaus in die Ebene. Und die Herrlichkeit des HERRN stand da, wie die Herrlichkeit, die ich durch den Fluss Kebar gesehen hatte, und ich fiel mit dem Gesicht nach unten.
24 Und der Geist kam in mich und stellte mich auf meine Füße. Er sprach zu mir und sagte: "Geh, schließe dich in deinem Haus.
25 Und du, Menschensohn, werden sie mit Seilen binden, Sie werden so gebunden sein, dass man nicht gehen unter den Menschen.
26 Ich will deine Zunge-Stick an den Gaumen zu machen, so dass Sie in der stillen und nicht zu tadeln sie, obwohl sie sind ein widerspenstiges Haus.
27 Aber wenn ich zu Ihnen spreche, werde ich den Mund öffnen und du sollst zu ihnen sagen: "Dies ist, was der HERR HERR." Wer hören will ihn hören, und wer wird sich weigern, ihn zu verweigern, denn sie sind ein widerspenstiges Haus.
Wer ist ein Prophet?
Encyclopædia Britannica Artikel
"Eine göttlich inspirierte revealer, Dolmetscher oder Sprecher. In der westlichen Kultur ist die klassische Periode der israelitischen Prophetie tendenziell in Analysen des Phänomens überwiegen, aber die Gestalt des Propheten ist in zahlreichen Erscheinungsformen im Laufe der Geschichte und weltweit gefunden werden.
Der Prophet unterscheidet sich von anderen religiösen Funktionären und Vertretern der religiösen Autorität, indem er behauptet, keine persönliche Teil in seiner Äußerung. Er spricht nicht seine eigene Meinung, sondern eine Offenbarung "von außen." Er kann "inspiriert" werden mit seiner Botschaft (wie im Fall von Jeremiah), oder er kann "besessen" werden durch eine spirituelle Kraft-ein Gott, ein Geist, der Heilige Geist, der ihn-als Instrument benutzt, und durch ihn spricht (wie in Aischylos 'Beschreibung von Cassandra im Agamemnon und des Propheten von Apollo in den Eumeniden). Plato definiert den Propheten als einen, der in Ekstase spricht, und in der hellenistischen Zeit Philo von Alexandria ähnlich erklärt, dass der Prophet "spricht nichts von seiner eigenen", sondern gleicht die Leier, auf dem jemand anderes spielt.
Die prophetische oder charismatische (aus dem Griechischen Charisma "göttliche Gabe") Zustand kann spontan auftreten, oder es kann durch eine Vielzahl von Techniken induziert werden: durch Meditation, mystisch-magischen Formeln und Gesten (die Mantras und Mudras des esoterischen Buddhismus, für Beispiel), gefolgt von Musik (II Kings 3:15 "Und als der Spielmann spielte, kam die Macht des Herrn sei mit ihm"), durch Trommeln, Tanzen, oder die Einnahme von Rauschmitteln oder Drogen. Propheten sehr oft widerstehen den Anruf (Amos und Jeremia zu den hebräischen Propheten, viele Interessenten Schamanen) bis überwinden durch die überlegene Macht, die sie als sein Instrument benutzen will.
Im Gegensatz zu den Wahrsager, wer oder nutzt manipuliert Ziel Techniken und Zeichen zu begegnen, was in erster Linie privaten Bedürfnisse und Ängste, der Prophet, durch den Geist getrieben, kann artikulieren eine Nachricht von allgemeiner und grundlegender Bedeutung und betonte Prinzipien und Normen, die kritisch sind der vorliegenden, in entweder eine destruktive oder Reformieren Sinn. Er kann seine Gruppe (Stamm, Nation) als Ganzes anzusprechen oder fanden eine neue Gesellschaft, die seine Botschaft zu verwirklichen. Die prophetische Persönlichkeit so häufig wird ein Religionsstifter, Reformer oder Sektenführer (Zoroaster, Mohammed und andere). Die "idealtypische" Prophet (in Max Webers Sinne) ist jedoch weniger mit der Gründung einer neuen Religion oder einzuführen revolutionäre Reformen als mit Kritik an seiner Gesellschaft von innen, wie es war, und im Lichte dessen, was er glaubt, werden die göttlich etablierten Normen zugrunde seiner Existenz. Wenn er ein Revolutionär ist, ist er sehr häufig weiß es nicht.
Die semantische Spektrum des Begriffs prophetischen hat daher inzwischen ziemlich breit. Je nachdem, ob der Schwerpunkt auf den Besitz und die Ekstase inspirierten Äußerung, Vorhersage der Zukunft, visionäre Erfahrung, ethische Inbrunst, leidenschaftlich Gesellschaftskritik, Sinn für absolute Verpflichtung, tausendjährigen und apokalyptischen Erwartung, etc., die verschiedensten Phänomene und Persönlichkeiten gewesen rief prophetisch: Montanists, Pfingstler, Zarathustra, Mohammed, Joachim von Fiore, Savonarola, Thomas Müntzer, Jakob Böhme, George Fox, Joseph Smith, und viele andere. Die moralische Ernsthaftigkeit der alten chinesischen Weisen und ihre tiefe Achtung vor dem Gesetz des Himmels hat Vergleiche mit hebräischen Prophetie vorgeschlagen, und die ägyptischen Text als "Bauernkrieg Complaint" bekannt wurde als Zeuge für eine prophetische Bewegung im alten Ägypten wurde behauptet. Auch der Marxismus in Zeiten wie prophetische qualifiziert, sowohl wegen seiner leidenschaftlichen Protest gegen soziale Ungerechtigkeit und wegen der eschatologische Struktur seiner Lehre.
Nichtbeachtung dieses breite und manchmal nur figurative Verwendung von "prophetischen" kann es einen deutlichen prophetische Art von Religion anerkannt werden. Seine Hauptmerkmale sind eine dynamische Vorstellung von einer Gottheit, ein Schwerpunkt auf den Willen (beide von Gott und Mensch) als konstitutiver Faktor der religiösen Wirklichkeit eine grundlegende Dualismus, ein tiefes Bewusstsein für die Schwere der Sünde (im Unterschied zu brechen ein Tabu), eine radikale ethische Ausblick auf eindeutige Wahl zwischen Gut und Böse, eine positive Einstellung gegenüber der Gesellschaft und gegenüber der Welt im Allgemeinen und eine Beziehung zu dem Prozess, der Zeit in eschatologischen und messianischen Hoffnungen kristallisieren erweisen.

John 5:25-43
25 Ich sage euch die Wahrheit, eine Zeit wird kommen und ist nun gekommen, wo die Toten die Stimme des Sohnes Gottes hören werden, und diejenigen, die hören zu leben.
26 Denn wie der Vater das Leben in sich selbst, so hat er den Sohn, das Leben in sich zu haben gewährt.
27 Und er hat ihm Vollmacht gegeben, um zu beurteilen, weil er der Menschensohn ist.
28 "Nicht bei dieser erstaunt sein, für eine Zeit wird kommen, wenn alle, die in den Gräbern sind, seine Stimme hören
29 und kommen aus - jene, die Gutes getan haben, zur Auferstehung zu leben, und denen, die Böses getan haben, zur Auferstehung zu verurteilen.

Ich habe absichtlich die relevanten Verse des Matthäus 13 aus dem Original in der Bibel geschrieben, bevor alle Übersetzungen und Versionen begann wurde gekeult. RSV Übersetzungen ins Englische werden hinzugefügt!
• Jesus erklärt in verständlicher Sprache, dass er nur ein Prophet und der Sohn des Mannes Joseph war, also warum wurde die Universal-Götzendienst vergöttern ihn Konstantin der Große, Kaiser A Pagan, von den frühen Kirchenvätern angenommen?
• Jesus war ein Prophet angenommen und gesalbt von der allmächtigen Schöpfers durch die Hände von Johannes dem Täufer. Er war der erstgeborene Sohn von Joseph / Maria, die Carpenter und er hatte vier Brüder und junior un-named Zahl der Schwestern. Er war rein menschlich. Er erklärte, dass er der Sohn des Menschen war und schließlich in der Matthäus-Evangelium 13.57, er eindeutig bestätigt, dass er ein Prophet war.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DISSERTATION
IN ITS INFANT FORMAT

JESUS IN UNAMBIGUOUS TERMS SAID THAT HE WAS A PROPHET JUST LIKE ELIJAH & ELISHA

By:

Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, D.Sc.
The Humble Vessel of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of the Universe

ABSTRACT

1.    Christendom, for now, is confused! The doctrine of ‘Holy Trinity’ is demonic and very idolatrous in respect of equating Jesus with the Creator!
2.    It violates the first three commandments Moses received on Mount Sinai!
3.    A pagan emperor deified him in order to marry a Christian lady centuries ago and to date Christians join him in the idolatry of trying to set Jesus up against his father!
4.    Jesus never called himself the ‘Son of God’ rather he always insisted on ‘Son of Man’ all through the gospel narratives. Both ‘Jesus’ and ‘Christ’ are Greek words, not the Aramaic names the angel gave him!
5.    There is not one place ‘Jesus Christ’ is used as a double-barrelled name for Jesus in all the original texts of King James Version of the Christian Bible!
6.    Saul of Tarsus always referred to him thus: ‘Christ Jesus’. Why? ‘Christ’ is a title he earned for total obedience till death on the cross, “for which reason he was given a name above all names so that at the mention of the name every knee shall bow”.
7.    ‘Prof. Kenez’ is not the same thing as ‘Kenez Prof.’ Think about this for a while! Pope Paul is not same as Paul Pope. Or is it?
8.    Adam was definitely the ‘Son of God’, and only he could rightly claim it!
9.    God re-named Solomon ‘Jedidah’ and only he could also claim the title!
10.                        But for Jesus, he was never a god nor was he equal to ‘God, the Almighty Father’ as many misinformed Christians portray in the fanatical prayers and commercial lyrics of worship songs marketed today!
THERE IS NO NEED TO DEIFY ONE WHO CONSISTENTLY STATED THAT HE WAS;

·       “Son of Man”; that was mentioned 194 times  in both the OT and NT as against “Son of God” mentioned only 47 times, with Jesus referring to himself 48 times in the gospels) and
·       “A Prophet” as he stated in Matt 10:40-41, "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward”.
·       It beats my reasoning faculties when religious fanatics are blindly followed just because they call themselves pastors, evangelists, priests or bishops.
·       Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, never referred to Jesus as co-equal to God, the Creator and Father of all human beings! He never reversed the order he always used to refer to him; Christ Jesus.
·       In all the four gospels in original King James Version, there was not a single use of Jesus with any other attachment or appellation; only Jesus! Moreover, the word ‘JESUS’ is Greek, not the Aramaic name the angel gave him!
·       No, it was some Roman theologians who contrived their own gospel and appended; ‘St John’ to their treacherous narrative that deified Jesus. They doctored the entire NT to reflect their false doctrines and dogmas. Nowhere in the four gospels was Jesus ever addressed as “Christ”.

The “Saviour” or “Messiah” was a title he earned since his predecessors failed to achieve the status. This he achieved by total obedience to the Will of the Almighty, whereas others fumbled!
·       Moses was a saviour for the enslaved Israelites in Egypt, but he struck the rock twice instead of once and so failed.
·       Samson was a saviour for the Israelites maltreated by the Philistines, but despite his anointing from the womb, he permitted Delilah to lead him astray.
·       Solomon was a saviour king chosen by God to build him a temple and restore peace in Israel, but despite the enormous wisdom bestowed on him for the assignment; he became an easy prey for the Queen of Sheba!

However, Jesus earned the coveted title due to his compliance with the Will of the Almighty Father; Matt 7:21; 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. and total obedience to His dictates; Matt 12:50; 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother;"  all through his ministry to merit the elevation to a salvific prophet, the Messiah of his people promised from the time of Abraham. He defeated the devil and so he excelled where others had failed.
Matt 4:1-11; 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. …. 3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." …. 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. 7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"  8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."  10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"  11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

By citing only Elijah and Elisha, 24 "I tell you the truth," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. …. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed-only Naaman the Syrian;" Jesus was emphatically declaring that only three of them came closest to the demands of ultimate elevation to “Christhood”! What he forgot to tell us or that he deliberately left to tell us was; what he did others failed to do properly, why he had the will power to say no to the devil all through his ministry and how he grabbed the title whereas others did not!
He meticulously studied the Laws, the Prophets and digested all the books on Judaism; Matt 5:17-18; 17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”
From age twelve to thirty, which was missing in all his biographies, he lived a monastic life outside his community! On graduation and return to his native land, he allowed John to baptise him in the River Jordan, where he was anointed as “Son of God”; Matt 3:17-4:1; 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."  Here, he was adopted as a perfect master to redeem Israel. Dry fasting for forty days and nights preceded his ministry. He practised as an itinerant preacher and by the dint of hard labour and loyalty to the Omnipotent and Omniscient God we all worship as the Creator of the Universe, he attained the ultimate in Messiahship and became the “Christ”!

My thesis is that Jesus, the Christ, achieved the climax of stewardship by a detailed observance of all the details that were foretold about the Messiah!

HERE IS A VERBATIM QUOTATION FROM THE BIBLE THAT AGREES WITH AND SUCCINTLY CORROBORATES MY ASSERTION

Luke 4:20-32

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,

 21 and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.

23 Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself! Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"

24 "I tell you the truth," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.

26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.

 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed-only Naaman the Syrian."

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this.

29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff.

30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 22.  At the gracious words] To the words of grace, epi toiv logoiv thv caritov, or the doctrines of grace, which he then preached. It is very strange that none of the evangelists give us any account of this sermon! There was certainly more of it than is related in Lu 4:21. To-day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears; which seems to have been no more than the first sentence he spoke on the occasion. Had it been necessary for our salvation, it would have been recorded. It was a demonstration to those Jews, that Jesus, who preached to them, was the person of whom the prophet there spoke: it was not designed for general edification. Let us make a good use of what we have got, and we shalt not regret that this sermon is lost. The ear is never satisfied with hearing: we wish for another and another revelation, while sadly unacquainted with the nature and design of that which God's mercy has already given us.
 23 And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here also in your own country.'" (RSV)
 23 And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country. (BBE)

Verse 23.  Physician, heal thyself] That is, heal the broken-hearted in thy own country, as the latter clause of the verse explains it; but they were far from being in a proper spirit to receive the salvation which he was ready to communicate; and therefore they were not healed.
  24 And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. (RSV)

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 25.  In the days of Elias] See this history, 1Ki 17:1-9, compared with 1Ki 18:1-45. This was evidently a miraculous interference, as no rain fell for three years and six months, even in the rainy seasons. There were two of these in Judea, called the first and the latter rains; the first fell in October, the latter in April: the first prepared the ground for the seed, the latter ripened the harvest. As both these rains were withheld, consequently there was a great famine throughout all the land.
  26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. (RSV)
 26 But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. (BBE)
ACC Barnes JFB PNTC RWP TFG TSK

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 26.  Unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta] The sentence is elliptical, and means this: To none of them was Elias sent; he was not sent except to Sarepta; for the widow at Sarepta was a Sidonian, not a widow of Israel. PEARCE.-Sarepta was a pagan city in the country of Sidon, in the vicinity of Galilee.
  27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." (RSV)
 27 And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian. (BBE)
2Ki 5:14
ACC Barnes FBN JWN PNTC RWP TSK

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 27.  None of them was cleansed] This verse is to be understood as the 26th; for Naaman, being a Syrian, was no leper in Israel.
The meaning of these verses is, God dispenses his benefits when, where, and to whom he pleases. No person can complain of his conduct in these respects, because no person deserves any good from his hand. God never punishes any but those who deserve it; but he blesses incessantly those who deserve it not. The reason is evident: justice depends on certain rules; but beneficence is free. Beneficence can bless both the good and the evil; justice can punish the latter only. Those who do not make this distinction must have a very confused notion of the conduct of Divine Providence among men.
  28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. (RSV)
 28 And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them. (BBE)
GBN ACC Barnes FBN JFB JWN PNTC RWP TFG TSK WBN

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 28.  Were filled with wrath] They seem to have drawn the following conclusion from what our Lord spoke: "The Gentiles are more precious in the sight of God than the Jews; and to them his miracles of mercy and kindness shall be principally confined." This was pretty near the truth, as the event proved. Those who profit not by the light of God, while it is among them, shall have their candle extinguished. The kingdom of God was taken from the Jews, and given to the Gentiles; not because the Gentiles were better than they were, but because, 1st. The Jews had forfeited their privileges; and 2dly. Because Christ saw that the Gentiles would bring forth the fruits of the kingdom.
  29 And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. (RSV)
 29 And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death. (BBE)
ACC Barnes FBN JFB RWP TFG TSK

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Verse 29.  The brow of the hill] Mr. Maundrel tells us that this is still called "the Mountain of the Precipitation, and is half a league southward of Nazareth. In going to it, you cross first over the vale in which Nazareth stands; and then going down two or three furlongs, in a narrow cleft between the rocks, you there clamber up a short but difficult way on the right hand; at the top of which you find a great stone standing on the brink of a precipice, which is said to be the very place where our Lord was destined to be thrown down by his enraged neighbours." Maundrel's Journey, p. 116. Edit. 5th. 1732.

In this protracted discourse, the Biblical Scholar has provided us abundant evidence to show that Jesus performed as other prophets who came before him did!

So, my grouse with modern day fanatics is; DID JESUS EVER CLAIM HE WAS EQUAL TO HIS FATHER?  DID HE AT ANY TIME TELL ANYONE THE GENUINE SIGNS OF THE END OF THE WORLD? He emphatically said in one passage that only the Almighty Father knew the end of the world.

The Laws Moses received on Mount Sinai is grossly violated by the doctrines and dogmas patented in Rome by ‘doctors of the church’. Which doctors and which church do we mean by this phraseology, if may ask? The church in Rome is the adulterated photocopy of the original church at Antioch and the authentic message of the apostles headed by Peter and James. The doctrines are corruptions forced on Paul by Emperor Constantine to permit him declare it as a national religion to replace Mithraism.

If you doubt Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez a.k.a Dr Kenez Danmbaezue then Consult Books on Church History. He did not obtain a doctorate in Church History, and even if he did, the aftermath of the Inquisitions and Excommunications of notable scientists who dared tell the truth is enough for him doubt the authenticity of Roman Historians.

NOW, LET US EVALUATE SOME REFERENCES OF “SON OF MAN” IN THE BIBLE

Num 23:19-20; - 19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil? 20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.”

Ps 80:17-19; - 17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. 18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. 19 Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Was Jesus a reincarnation of Prophet Ezekiel?

The reason I ask this is because no other person was more often referred to as; “son of man” in the entire bible.

Observe that Matthew has 32 references of the label whereas Ezekiel has more that 94! Chapters 2 and 3 alone contain the label 10 times. What’s the linkage?

Ezek 2:1-3:27

2:1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you."

2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.

3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day.

4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.'

5 And whether they listen or fail to listen-- for they are a rebellious house-- they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house.

7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.

8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."

9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,

10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 3

3:1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel."

2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

4 He then said to me: "Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.

5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel--

6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

7 But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate.

8 But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.

9 I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house."

10 And he said to me, "Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you.

11 Go now to your countrymen in exile and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says,' whether they listen or fail to listen."

12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound-- May the glory of the LORD be praised in his dwelling-place!--

13 the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound.

14 The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.

15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel Abib near the Kebar River. And there, where they were living, I sat among them for seven days-- overwhelmed.

16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me:

17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.

18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.

20 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling-block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

21 But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself."

22 The hand of the LORD was upon me there, and he said to me, "Get up and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you."

23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the LORD was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell face down.

24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said: "Go, shut yourself inside your house.

25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.

26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.

27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' Whoever will listen let him listen, and whoever will refuse let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

Who is a Prophet?

Encyclopædia Britannica Article

“a divinely inspired revealer, interpreter, or spokesman. In Western culture, the classic period of Israelite prophecy has tended to predominate in analyses of the phenomenon, but the figure of the prophet is to be found in numerous manifestations throughout history and worldwide.
The prophet differs from other religious functionaries and representatives of religious authority in that he claims no personal part in his utterance. He speaks not his own mind but a revelation “from without.” He may be “inspired” with his message (as in the case of Jeremiah), or he may be “possessed” by a spiritual power—a god, a spirit, the Holy Ghost—which uses him as an instrument and speaks through him (as in Aeschylus' description of Cassandra in the Agamemnon and of the prophet of Apollo in the Eumenides). Plato defined the prophet as one who speaks in ecstasy, and in the Hellenistic period Philo of Alexandria similarly stated that the prophet “speaks nothing of his own” but resembles the lyre on which someone else plays.
The prophetic or charismatic (from Greek charisma, “divine gift”) state may occur spontaneously, or it may be induced by a variety of techniques: by meditation, by mystico-magical formulas and gestures (the mantras and mudras of esoteric Buddhism, for example), by music (II Kings 3:15, “And when the minstrel played, the power of the Lord came upon him”), by drumming, dancing, or the ingestion of intoxicants or narcotics. Prophets very often resist the call (Amos and Jeremiah among the Hebrew prophets; many prospective shamans) until overcome by the superior power that wants to use them as its instrument.
In contrast to the diviner, who uses or manipulates objective techniques and signs to address what are primarily private needs and anxieties, the prophet, impelled by the spirit, may articulate a message of more general and fundamental import, enunciating principles and norms that are critical of the present, in either a destructive or a reforming sense. He may address his group (tribe, nation) as a whole or may found a new society that will realize his message. The prophetic personality thus frequently becomes a religious founder, reformer, or sectarian leader (Zoroaster, Muḥammad, and others). The “ideal-typical” prophet (in Max Weber's sense) is, however, less concerned with founding a new religion or introducing revolutionary reforms than with criticizing his society from the inside, as it were, and in the light of what he believes to be the divinely established norms underlying its existence. If he is a revolutionary, he very frequently does not know it.
The semantic spectrum of the term prophetic has consequently become rather wide. According to whether the emphasis is on possession and ecstasy, inspired utterance, prediction of the future, visionary experience, ethical fervour, passionate social criticism, sense of absolute commitment, millenarian and apocalyptic expectation, etc., the most diverse phenomena and personalities have been called prophetic: Montanists, Pentecostals, Zoroaster, Muḥammad, Joachim of Fiore, Savonarola, Thomas Müntzer, Jakob Böhme, George Fox, Joseph Smith, and many others. The moral seriousness of the ancient Chinese sages and their profound regard for the law of heaven has suggested comparisons with Hebrew prophecy, and the Egyptian text known as the “Peasant's Complaint” has been claimed as a witness for a prophetic movement in ancient Egypt. Even Marxism has at times been qualified as prophetic, both because of its passionate protest against social injustice and because of the eschatological structure of its doctrine.
Disregarding this wide and at times merely figurative use of “prophetic,” there may be recognized a distinct prophetic type of religion. Its main characteristics are a dynamic conception of a deity, an emphasis on the will (both of God and of man) as a constitutive factor of the religious reality, a basic dualism, a profound awareness of the seriousness of sin (as distinct from breaking a taboo), a radical ethical outlook based on unequivocal choice between good and evil, a positive attitude toward society and toward this world in general, and a relationship to the time process that could crystallize in eschatological and messianic hopes.

The contemporaries of Jesus recognised him as the son of Joseph and Mary, a native of Nazareth and were fully convinced he was actually a prophet, an extraordinary teacher “who taught with authority!”

Let us see; John 5: 25 – 43, 7: 40 – 53

John 5:25-43

25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.

27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

28 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

29 and come out-- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.

30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

31 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.

32 There is another who testifies in my favour, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.

33 "You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.

34 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

36 "I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.

37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,

38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.

39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,

40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

41 "I do not accept praise from men,

42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.

43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me

(from The Holy Bible: New International Version.  Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, by International Bible Society)

John 7:40-8:1

40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet."

41 Others said, "He is the Christ." Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee?

42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?"

43 Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.

44 Some wanted to seize him, but no-one laid a hand on him.

45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him in?"

46 "No-one ever spoke the way this man does," the guards declared.

47 "You mean he has deceived you also?" the Pharisees retorted.

48 "Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law-- there is a curse on them."

50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,

51 "Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?"

52 They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee."

53 Then each went to his own home.

The best example that demonstrates that Jesus was a prophet can be found in Matthew 24. Historians document in minute details how every aspect of this very prediction of the fall of Jerusalem was fulfilled to the letter!

MATT 24:1- 51

24:1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.

2 "Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no-one deceives you.

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.

6 You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of birth-pains.

9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation', spoken of through the prophet Daniel-- let the reader understand--

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17 Let no-one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house.

18 Let no-one in the field go back to get his cloak.

19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.

21 For then there will be great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now-- and never to be equalled again.

22 If those days had not been cut short, no-one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

23 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it.

24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-- if that were possible.

25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29 "Immediately after the distress of those days "'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'

30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig-tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.

33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

36 "No-one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;

39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47 I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'

49 and he then begins to beat his fellow-servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.

51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(From the Holy Bible: New International Version.  Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, by International Bible Society)

The shaded areas point out the certainty of the one making the prophetic statements.

Unlike the OT accounts that are woolly and could be interpreted in various fashions, Jesus here demonstrated his extraordinary foresight and authority over the details of how his prophecy would be executed.

My submission is that Jesus was only a prophet who spoke on behalf of the Almighty Father; he was not God and had never claimed to be one throughout his ministry! Here I lay my argument that Christendom is engrossed in unwarranted idolatry until some one proves otherwise!

Note that he equally declared in vv:  36 - 39 that he was not equal to his father. That is the crux of the matter that this discourse set out to prove. Here I rest my case.

If anyone has a better thesis, let him present it!

Now that we have an operational definition of a “son of man” and that of “a prophet”, we can see the error of Christendom equating Jesus with the Almighty Father! The best evidence is the testimony of Jesus regarding his subordinate relationship to the Father at John 8: 12 – 51;

 

John 8:12-51

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

13 The Pharisees challenged him, "Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid."

14 Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.

15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no-one.

16 But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.

17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me."

19 Then they asked him, "Where is your father?" "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple area near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no-one seized him, because his time had not yet come.

21 Once more Jesus said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come."

22 This made the Jews ask, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"

23 But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am [the one I claim to be], you will indeed die in your sins."

25 "Who are you?" they asked. "Just what I have been claiming all along," Jesus replied.

26 "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is reliable, and what I have heard from him I tell the world."

27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.

28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [the one I claim to be] and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."

30 Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"

34 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it for ever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37 I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word.

38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father."

39 "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did.

40 As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.

41 You are doing the things your own father does." "We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."

42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.

43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!

46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

48 The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"

49 "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.

50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

51 I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."

52 At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death.

53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?"

54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.

55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."

57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"

58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER

I have deliberately culled the relevant verses of Matthew 13 from the Original Language the Bible was written before all the translations and versions began. Any serious-minded Bible student will do well to cross-check these and acquire the skills of reading Aramaic as it is shown here! RSV translations into English are added!
·       Jesus Declared In Plain Language That He Was Only A Prophet And The Son Of The Man Joseph, So Why Was The Universal Idolatry Of Deifying Him By Constantine The Great, A Pagan Emperor, Accepted By The Early Church Fathers?
·       Jesus was a prophet adopted and anointed by the Almighty Creator through the hands of John the Baptist. He was the first-born son of Joseph/Mary, the Carpenter and he had four junior brothers and un-named number of sisters. He was purely human. He never claimed divinity. He  declared that he was the Son of Man and finally in the Gospel of Matthew 13:57, he unequivocally affirmed that he was a prophet. So, why deify him?

Mathew 13 verses 36 – 58
36 Then <tote> Jesus <Iesous> sent <aphiemi> the multitude <ochlos> away <aphiemi>, and went <erchomai> into <eis> the house <oikia>: and <kai> his <autos> disciples <mathetes> came <proserchomai> unto him <autos>, saying <lego>, Declare <phrazo> unto us <hemin> the parable <parabole> of the tares <zizanion> of the field <agros>. (KJV)
 36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." (RSV)
 37 He answered <apokrinomai> and <de> said <epo> unto them <autos>, He that soweth <speiro> the good <kalos> seed <sperma> is <esti> the Son <huios> of man <anthropos>; (KJV)
 37 He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; (RSV)
38  <de> The field <agros> is <esti> the world <kosmos>; <de> the good <kalos> seed <sperma> are <houtos> <eisi> the children <huios> of the kingdom <basileia>; but <de> the tares <zizanion> are <eisi> the children <huios> of the wicked <poneros> one; (KJV)
 38 the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, (RSV)
39  <de> The enemy <echthros> that sowed <speiro> them <autos> is <esti> the devil <diabolos>; <de> the harvest <therismos> is <esti> the end <sunteleia> of the world <aion>; and <de> the reapers <theristes> are <eisi> the angels <aggelos>. (KJV)
 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (RSV)
40 As <hosper> therefore <oun> the tares <zizanion> are gathered <sullego> and <kai> burned <katakaio> in the fire <pur>; so <houto> shall it be <esomai> in <en> the end <sunteleia> of this <toutou> world <aion>. (KJV)
 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. (RSV)
41 The Son <huios> of man <anthropos> shall send forth <apostello> his <autos> angels <aggelos>, and <kai> they shall gather <sullego> out of <ek> his <autos> kingdom <basileia> all things <pas> that offend <skandalon>, and <kai> them which do <poieo> iniquity <anomia>; {things...: or, scandals} (KJV)
 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, (RSV)
42 And <kai> shall cast <ballo> them <autos> into <eis> a furnace <kaminos> of fire <pur>: there <ekei> shall be <esomai> wailing <klauthmos> and <kai> gnashing <brugmos> of teeth <odous>. (KJV)
 42 and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. (RSV)

QUOT ERAT DEMONSTRATUM

I do not want to add or subtract from what Jesus said.

My people of Biafra have this saying; “Count your teeth with your tongue”


It is consummated. I have run the race. I have completed the discourse. I have kept the faith. No one should hide under the canopy of religiosity and worship Jesus. He never asked us to! The error must be corrected in today’s Christian Liturgy and the Pentecostal crusade versions of praise and worship sessions! The new era psychedelic prostrations and theatrics are idolatrous, puerile and futile!

A hilarious epilogue from Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez

THE EFFECT OF MUSIC ON TRUE PROPHETS OF GOD VERSUS THOSE OF THE DEVIL

by Adam Clarke

2Kings 3:15; the hand of the Lord came upon him.

I have spoken elsewhere of the heathen priests who endeavoured to imitate the true prophets, and were as actually filled with the devil as the others were with the true God.

The former were thrown into violent agitations and contortions by the influence of the demons which possessed them, while the latter were in a state of the utmost serenity and composure.

15 But now bring me a minstrel." And when the minstrel played, the power of the LORD came upon him. (RSV)

 15 But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him. (BBE)

1Sa 10:5; 16:23; Eze 1:3; 3:14,22; 8:1

GBN ACC FBN JFB JWN TSK

Adam Clarke's Commentary:

Verse 15.  Bring me a minstrel.] A person who played on the harp. The rabbins, and many Christians, suppose that Elisha's mind was considerably irritated and grieved by the bad behaviour of the young men at Beth-el, and their tragical end, and by the presence of the idolatrous king of Israel; and therefore called for Divine psalmody, that it might calm his spirits, and render him more susceptible of the prophetic influence. To be able to discern the voice of God, and the operation of his hand, it is necessary that the mind be calm, and the passions all in harmony, under the direction of reason; that reason may be under the influence of the Divine Spirit.

   The hand of the Lord came upon him.] The playing of the harper had the desired effect; his mind was calmed, and the power of God descended upon him. This effect of music was generally acknowledged in every civilized nation. Cicero, in his Tusculan Questions, lib. iv., says, that "the Pythagoreans were accustomed to calm their minds, and soothe their passions, by singing and playing upon the harp." Pythagoraei mentes suas a cogitationum intentione cantu fidibusque ad tranquillitatem traducebant. I have spoken elsewhere of the heathen priests who endeavoured to imitate the true prophets, and were as actually filled with the devil as the others were with the true God. The former were thrown into violent agitations and contortions by the influence of the demons which possessed them, while the latter were in a state of the utmost serenity and composure.

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.”

Quotations that amplify INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT

Before the advent of colonial administration, the largest political unit in Biafra, the South-East of Nigeria, was the village group, a federation of villages averaging about 5,000 persons. Members of the group shared a common market and meeting place, a tutelary deity, and ancestral cults that supported a tradition of descent from a common ancestor or group of ancestors. Authority in the village group was vested in a council of lineage heads and influential and wealthy men. In the eastern regions these groups tended to form larger political units, including centralized kingdoms and states. Traditional Igbo religion includes belief in a creator god, an earth goddess, and numerous other deities and spirits, as well as a belief in ancestors who protect their living descendants. Revelation of the will of the deities is sought by divination and oracles. Many Igbo are now Christians. The author of this reformation book on ONE WORLD RELIGION is an indigene of this stock of humanity, THE Igbo people of Biafra. The relevance of this overview is to place it on record that everyone is a product of an ethnic group that has been bombarded from infancy with cosmogical and metaphysical concepts peculiar to his forebears who were limited in authentic knowledge of the Creaor and the Entire Universe he engineered. We are all equally immersed in religious bigotry until we outgrow same by conscientious study. We need to divest ourselves of the skewed indigenous and colonial knowledge we have learnt since birth and lifestyles we have acquired all our lives to be in the theocentric environment to beg for Divine Wisdom from above to dissociate ourselves from ethnocentrism before we can arrive at an International Religion!
--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 all 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 have demoralised and scandalised the youth. A worldwide religious census is imperative if we intend to succeed!”
---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.

That peace will reign among all the creatures of the Almighty Creator, I pray!
