REV. PROF. J. J. KENEZ INSISTS THAT THE BIBLICAL FABLES AND LEGENDS OF AN ETHNOCENTRIC SUBGROUP MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE A GLOBAL PEACE CAN BE ENTHRONED IN OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE



THE ILLOGICAL ISSUE THAT PORTRAYS THE WHOLE BIBLE AS A COLLECTION OF FABLES AND LEGENDS OF AN ETHNOCENTRIC SUBGROUP THAT MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE A GLOBAL PEACE CAN BE ENTHRONED IN OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE

“Prophet Moses and Prophet Mohammed separately fetched firewood infested with ants and maggots and so forever must entertain uninvited visits from lizards. I need convincing answers to in this final dissertation on some of the numerous absurdities propagated by the ancient religious leaders that caused wars”.

1.  From the beginning of creation every narrative was universal and applicable to the direct descendants of Adam and Eve. There were no discriminations till Noah’s ark. Genesis 1 to Genesis 11 is UNIVERSAL as it narrates about humanity at large and concurs with the current scientific classification of Homo sapiens into three species of mankind. From Genesis 12 till Malachi is ETHNOCENTRIC as it narrates only about Abram and his descendants. Was the God of Noah very different from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for the former seems to be really OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT AND IMPARTIALLY JUST, whereas the latter seems to be directly the opposite; NEPOTIC AND FALLIBLE.

2.   The Almighty Creator OF Genesis 1 to Genesis 11 moulded and gave life to his son; ADAM, and later by anaesthetic surgery while Adam was wide awake separated his bisexual parts and named the new product EVE, a helpmate and later wife and mother of Adam’s descendants. But in the case of Abraham who was the ancestor of only the Ishmael and Isaac, he had to wait long before the promised son arrived. Later, after many years of retraining the pagan from Ur he was asked to sacrifice Isaac as a test of obedience and loyalty to this personal God who brought him out of the Land of UR.  

3.  Is Jesus the only son of Almighty Creator God that created the entire universe or is he only a descendant of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who banished Hagar and Ishmael to die in a dry desert before the injustice was corrected by the Almighty Creator as dogmatised and deluded Christians proclaim, thus fuelling the perennial Arab – Israeli wars. Please provide convincing and rational answers to this bewildered theosophist, and then answer this his ultimate question; TO WHOM DID THIS PERSONAL GOD OF THE ISRAELITES SACRIFICE JESUS AS ABRAHAM TRIED TO SACRIFICE ISAAC AND TO WHAT PURPOSE OR TEST.
“This is the Internet Age and our voracious children surf and browse all websites in our current Global village. You cannot blindfold them for long nor restrict their human rights and freedom as previously done by ancient demagogues did. They ask so many questions that pre-scientific man shrouded in fables, legends, doctrines and dogmas. However,
TRUTH IS SUPREME AND WILL ALWAYS RISE ONE DAY, NO MATTER FOR HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED OR BURIED BY CENTURIES OF DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS FABRICATED IN ROME.
The errors of the Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church are so numerous that the little Pope John Paul II did by way of educated apologetics during his papacy barely scratched at the surface of the centuries’ old crime of misleading the whole Christendom”.

CURRENT SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE THAT PROVIDES INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE THAT HUMANS ARE THE YOUNGEST ANIMALS ON EARTH THEREBY COUNTERS FAITH

Here are unabridged and unedited excerpts for everyone to appreciate the infinite wisdom of the Almighty Creator, who is not the ‘God of any religious group on earth today’. We now know that; ‘All the world encyclopaedias state that approximately 4.60 billion years ago was the beginning of the formation of earth’;
“About 4.6 billion years ago, dust and planetesimals (asteroid-size bodies) in the solar nebula gravitate together to form Earth. This accretion takes place gradually, over tens of millions of years.  Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
ExpandGeologic Time, time scale that covers Earth’s entire geologic history from its origin to the present. Before the growth of a geologic time scale in the 19th century natural historians recognized that Earth has a lengthy history, but the scale used today developed over the last 200 years and continues to evolve. A geologic time scale helps scientists think about the history of the planet in manageable sections of time. See also Earth; Geology.
Before radiometric dating, which measures the amount of a radioactive element in an object to determine its age (see Dating Methods: Radiometric Dating), estimates of Earth’s age ranged from about 4,000 years to hundreds of millions of years. Today the established age is about 4.6 billion years.
The present geologic time scale is based on radiometric dating and the record of ancient life preserved in layers of rock. Most boundaries in recent geologic time coincide with periodic extinctions and appearances of new species. Divisions in the older part of the record are based on dates provided by radiometric dating methods.   
The geologic time scale adopted by the International Union of Geological Sciences in 2004 breaks Earth’s history into distinct intervals of varying lengths measured in calendar years. The longest intervals are eons. Each eon is subdivided into eras. Each era is made up of periods, which are further divided into epochs.
There are three eons: the Archean, the Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Archean, the earliest eon, is defined as about 3.8 billion to 2.5 billion years before present. The time before the Archean Eon, simply called pre-Archean, is marked by the formation of the planet. The Proterozoic Eon lasted from about 2.5 billion to 542 million years before present. The Archean and Proterozoic eons are also collectively called Precambrian time. An explosion of invertebrate life marks the end of the Proterozoic and the beginning of the Phanerozoic.
The Phanerozoic Eon started about 542 million years ago and continues into the present. It is divided into three eras: the Paleozoic (542 million to 251 million years before present), Mesozoic (251 million to 65 million years before present), and Cenozoic (65 million years before present to present).
The Paleozoic Era is divided into six periods. From oldest to youngest they are the Cambrian (542 million to 488 million years before present), Ordovician (488 million to 444 million years before present), Silurian (444 million to 416 million years before present), Devonian (416 million to 359 million years before present), Carboniferous (359 million to 299 million years before present), and Permian (299 million to 251 million years before present). The Paleozoic began with the appearance of many different life-forms, which are preserved as abundant fossils in rock sequences all over the world. It ended with the extinction of over 90 percent of all living organisms at the end of the Permian Period. The cause of this event is currently unknown.
The Mesozoic Era is made up of the Triassic (251 million to 200 million years before present), Jurassic (200 million to 145 million years before present), and Cretaceous (145 million to 65 million years before present) periods. The Mesozoic began with the appearance of many new kinds of animals, including the dinosaurs and the ammonites, or extinct relatives of modern squid. The Mesozoic ended with another major extinction in which about 80 percent of all living organisms died. This extinction may have been the result of a large asteroid that crashed into Earth on the present-day northern Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.
The Cenozoic Era has two geologic periods, the Paleogene (65 million to 23 million years before present) and the Neogene (23 million years before present to the present). The Paleogene Period is made up of three epochs: the Paleocene (65 million to 56 million years before present), Eocene (56 million to 34 million years before present), and Oligocene (34 million to 23 million years before present). The Neogene Period is divided into four epochs: the Miocene (23 million to 5.3 million years before present), Pliocene (5.3 million to 1.8 million years before present), Pleistocene (1.8 million to 11,500 years before present), and Holocene (11,500 years to the present) epochs. The Holocene is marked by the rapid retreat of the last continental ice sheets in Europe and North America, an accelerated rise in sea level, climatic moderation, and the expansion of human societies in every part of the world.

BIBLICAL NARRATIVES LACK INFORMATION ON HOW AND WHEN DID HUMAN BEINGS APPEAR IN THE HISTORY CREATION
Anatomically Modern Human Beings Appeared 130,000 years ago
Anatomically modern Homo sapiens appear in Africa by130,000 years ago. They possess advanced skeletal features typical of modern humans.
Human, common name given to any individual of the species Homo sapiens and, by extension, to the entire species. The term is also applied to certain species that were the evolutionary forerunners of Homo sapiens (see Human Evolution). Scientists consider all living people members of a single species.
Homo sapiens is identified, for purposes of classification, as an animal (kingdom Animalia) with a backbone (phylum Chordata) and segmented spinal cord (subphylum Vertebrata) that suckles its young (class Mammalia); that gestates its young with the aid of a placenta (subclass Eutheria); that is equipped with five-digited extremities, a collarbone, and a single pair of mammary glands on the chest (order Primates); and that has eyes at the front of the head, stereoscopic vision, and a proportionately large brain (suborder Anthropoidea).
THE EARLIEST HUMANLIKE PRIMATES
Australopithecines is the earliest humanlike primates. Known from fossil remains found in Africa, australopithecines, or australopiths, represent the group from which the ancestors of modern humans emerged. As generally used, the term australopithecines covers all early human fossils dated from about 7 million to 2.5 million years ago, and some of those dated from 2.5 million to 1.4 million years ago. The group became extinct after that time.
At some time before about 2.5 million years ago, a currently unknown australopithecine species gave rise to the ancestor of our own genus Homo. The earliest members of Homo resembled late australopiths, and coexisted with them for more than a million years, but the Homo species had larger brains.
Australopiths evolved from apes and had a combination of apelike and humanlike traits. Their faces protruded like those of apes, and they probably had a similar amount of body hair. However, several traits distinguished australopithecines from the apes. First, australopiths are believed to have walked upright on two legs most of the time—a practice known as bipedalism—instead of using all four limbs for locomotion. In addition, australopiths had smaller canine teeth than those of apes. Studies of australopith hand bones suggest that at least one species could have made the earliest stone tools around 2.5 million years ago. However, some scientists believe only members of the larger-brained genus Homo would have had the mental capacity and hand manipulation skills needed to make these tools (see Stone Age).
Scientists have identified many australopithecine species. Some of these are classified in the genus Australopithecus (meaning “southern ape”). Other australopithecines belong to different genera, including Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, Ardipithecus, Kenyanthropus, and, by some classifications, Paranthropus.
The first australopithecine specimen was identified by South African anatomist Raymond Dart from a fossilized skull discovered in 1924 at a quarry in Taung, South Africa. Dart named the fossil Australopithecus africanus, meaning “southern ape from Africa.” At the time of this discovery, most anthropologists believed that humans had evolved in Asia rather than Africa. The scientific community mostly rejected Dart’s claim to have found an ancestor of modern humans in southern Africa. Dart’s work was followed up and confirmed by the Scottish-born paleontologist Robert Broom, who discovered many more australopithecine fossils in South Africa. By about 1950, the scientific community finally accepted these australopithecine fossils as proof that humans had evolved in Africa.
British paleoanthropologists Louis Leakey and Mary Leakey discovered Australopithecus (or Paranthropus) boisei specimens at Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge in 1959. East Africa subsequently became the center of research into the evolutionary origins of human beings. In the late 1960s, Kenyan paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey began prospecting for fossils around Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. Fossil fragments of more than a thousand early humans have since been recovered from that region.
Research teams led by American paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson and his French colleague Maurice Taieb made equally spectacular finds in Ethiopia during the 1970s. These finds include the famous partial skeleton named Lucy and the remains of more than 13 Australopithecus afarensis individuals, known as the First Family. Since that time, paleoanthropologists have continued to discover australopithecine fossils in southern, eastern, and central Africa.
One of the most important recent fossil finds was announced in 2006. A team led by Ethiopian scientist Zeresenay Alemseged unearthed the partial skeleton of a three-year-old Australopithecus afarensis female at Dikika in the Afar region of Ethiopia. Nicknamed “Selam,” the Dikika child dates from around 3.3 million years ago and is one of the most complete specimens of an australopith ever found. The well-preserved bones provide previously undocumented details of the skull and skeleton. Some features, such as the shape of the shoulder blades, the long, curved fingers, and the semicircular ear canals involved in balance, are more apelike, suggesting an adaptation for climbing trees.
The leg bones and feet, however, indicate an ability to walk upright even at an early age. The shape of the brain was preserved and its size indicates australopiths grew to adulthood more slowly than chimpanzees, a characteristic found in later hominids, including modern humans. The hyoid bone that supports the tongue was found, as well. The bone is crucial to speech in modern humans but its shape in the Dikika child is like that found in modern great apes, and not humans.

GLOBAL PEACE WILL ONLY REIGN WHEN ALL HUMAN BEINGS KNOW THE TRUE FAMILY TREE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

  1. 6 Million Years ago
Our family tree sprouts in Africa. The earliest humans branch off from African apes. Humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees all share a common ape ancestor.

  1. 6 Million to 5 Million Years ago
Humans start to diversify into different species. They still climb trees but can also walk upright on two legs. Upright walking may have given humans the versatility to live in a variety of habitats, including forests, open-canopy woodlands, and savannas.

  1. 5 Million to 4 Million Years ago
At least one species, Australopithecus anamensis, evolves a greater degree of dependence on upright walking, while another, Ardipithecus ramidus, retains an older combination of ape and human traits.

  1. 4 Million to 3 Million Years ago
In East Africa three individuals of the species Australopithecus afarensis leave footprints in a layer of volcanic ash. These are the oldest human footprints ever found. Humans also migrate to southern Africa during this time.

  1. 3Million to 2 Million Years ago
At least two species of larger-brained humans appear in East Africa. They belong to the modern human genus Homo. These humans fashion simple stone tools that can butcher large animals. Smaller-brained humans with massive jaws and teeth also evolve in eastern and southern Africa. Scientists refer to these humans by the genus name Paranthropus or Australopithecus.

  1. 2 million to 1 Million Years ago
New species with large brains evolve in Africa, and humans migrate to Asia and Europe for the first time. The new species are brawny, with thick bones and muscles. From the neck down, they very much resemble modern humans.

  1. 1 Million Years ago to Present
Four species evolve during this time. Only our own, Homo sapiens, survives. Modern humans spread to all parts of the world and develop language, art, technology, and complex social systems.

A KENEZIAN SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DEMONIC AND IS OF A SATANIC ORIGIN AND WAS THE GENESIS OF ALL REBELLIONS IN WORLD HISTORY. WE MUST OVERCOME ITS NEGATIVE EFFECTS BEFORE WE CAN EVER ACHIEVE A LASTING GLOBAL PEACE FOR OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE

DR J. K. DANMBAEZUE INSISTS THAT “TRUTH IS LIFE” i.e. “EZIOKWU BU NDU” in Igbo Language AND SO MUST BE TOLD TO PROPERLY EDUCATE AND SAVE THE LIVES AND SOULS OF OUR DEAR GROWING CHILDREN

Where I was born, we have this local saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. Simply put, “One, who does not know who he is and where he is coming from, does not know where he is going especially in religion!”

The music I am about to play is not for every human being to dance! It is only for those matured humans with sturdy legs and pliable pelvic girdles. Only those who are prepared to stand out of the crowd are qualified to read this controversial dissertation. For my local lyrics for the brave warriors of old counsels; “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put your hands!” This is purely a literal rendition. 

Its true import is this: “Unless you are fortified as a lion-hearted warrior, do not join in this war dance!” In the thick rainforests of Biafra, before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent, bond-fide male indigenes in EzeAwara’s kingdom were warriors reputed for swallowing razor-sharp cutlasses or swords and thereafter excreting them at will or whenever they wanted. They solved the ‘impossibles’ by removing the ‘im’ to convert all of them to the ‘possibles”. “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put forward your hands!”

You, too, can vomit the toxic cutlass of dogmas today! These diatribes, dissertations and research papers at this website put an end to myopic crusades and jihads! This is the computer age of digital gadgets, cellular phones and the Internet. We are scientists, not theoreticians or armchair philosophers that earlier killed scientists that proposed that the earth was round and rotated around the static sun!

ONLY TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO ALL THE NATURAL LAWS IN CREATION IS THE UNIFYING RELIGION WE NEED AS EQUAL HEIRS TO THE OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND ETERNAL FATHER OF US ALL. LET US ACCEPT TO SHARE THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR’S BENEVOLENCE AMICABLY IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS, ACCIDENTS OF PLACES AND TIMES BIRTHS, PARENTAGES, EYE OR SKIN COLOURS, NATIONALITIES AND SOCIAL STATUSES AND LIVE AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, NOW AND FOR EVER.

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DEMONIC
AND IS OF A SATANIC ORIGIN

DR J. K. DANMBAEZUE INSISTS THAT “TRUTH IS LIFE” i.e. “EZIOKWU BU NDU” in Igbo Language AND SO MUST BE TOLD TO PROPERLY EDUCATE AND SAVE THE LIVES AND SOULS OF OUR DEAR GROWING CHILDREN

Where I was born, we have this local saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. 

Simply put, “One, who does not know who he is and where he is coming from, does not know where he is going especially in religion!” The music I am about to play is not for every human being to dance! It is only for those matured humans with sturdy legs and pliable pelvic girdles. Only those who are prepared to stand out of the crowd are qualified to read this controversial dissertation.

Its true import is this: “Unless you are fortified as a lion-hearted warrior, do not join in this war dance!” In the thick rainforests of Biafra, before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent, bond-fide male indigenes in EzeAwara’s kingdom were warriors reputed for swallowing razor-sharp cutlasses or swords and thereafter excreting them at will or whenever they wanted.

We are scientists, not theoreticians or armchair philosophers that earlier killed scientists that proposed that the earth was round and rotated around the static sun!

All over the world, the supposedly rational animal that prides itself with being the only one with language and reason has been manipulated into swallowing toxic wastes in the name of faith! From birth, one is conditioned to swallow the community’s or parents’ religious practices without questions! The general mass hysteria is that doctrines, dogmas and rituals were handed down through some prophets and priests and therefore no one dares challenge their real worth; neither their veracity, their utilitarian values nor their mutual benefits!

That is now history for intelligent humans who will read and understand this website! That has been the remote cause of racism, religious intolerance and the production of majority and minority races. All the animals, plants fishes, birds, reptiles, apes and human beings have the divinely built in mechanism of IMMANENT MOTION and each was designed, built and bestowed with ASEXUAL or SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITIES by a SUPREME ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, who created, creates and still sustains all his created beings, animate and inanimate; all humans describe as the ALMIGHTY CREATOR!  

The unproved Theory of Evolution was the product of a grandson of the Evil One! There is no doubt that Charles Darwin knew where he came from, why he was here and where he was going! The truth was that his biological father noticed an unusual trait in his son but could not decipher it since psychology had not advanced beyond theoretical assumptions. He opted to send him to a Bible College. Moreover, as every Briton then joined in the face-off of the adulterous King with the Papacy they all pretended to be ‘Christians’ who were really protesting the supremacy of the Pope and his Papal powers dominating the entire world! Any theory that helped to enthrone the Anglican Communion founded by the His Royal Majesty at the crucial time and helped dislocate the Roman Catholic Church domination of the entire world through the unpopular Papacy was welcome and given maximum support and publicity. So, you can imagine that overnight Charles Darwin’s demonic theories that would supplant God and the Creationist theory was embraced by all Britons and even earned him a Knighthood. No thanks to the love affair between Constantine, the great and his heart-throb, a Christian damsel under the tutelage of Saul of Tarsus!
ALL THE ABRACADABRA RELIGIONS IN WORLD HISTROY HAVE ONE HUMAN OBJECTIVE AT THE OUTSET HOWEVER EACH ENDS UP IN DEMONIC FRATRICIDAL WARS WE ERRONUOSLY MISLABEL CRUSADES AND JIHADS. THEY WERE ETHNIC CLEANSING WORSE THAN ADLOPH HITLER’S WAR CRIMES,
And that is why this modern theosophist; Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez affirms that human feelings about religion originate from a single psychological trait; the fear of the unknown, which  we attempt to placate vicariously and therefore we formulate, propagate and satisfy the same L.C.M and H.C.F. by teaching what we consider are humane social mores and norms that can ensure peace for all concerned. In the final analyses, the summation, précis and concise summary of all the scriptures in the entire world are;

WORLD RELIGION IS ‘LOVE EVERY HUMAN BEING AS A CREATURE OF SAME ALMIGHTY FATHER’.

Take a harder look at the results of the enforcement of the variety of religions in world history and you will note that each religion set out to seek and pursue peaceful principles but each ended up promulgating doctrines and dogmas not acceptable to all humanity. The result is that the mundane xenophobic, egocentric and socio-centric desire to enforce these myopic doctrines and dogmas take over the objective of peace and turns the world into a battlefield of religious fanatics, mystics, demagogues and irrational beings that destroy humanity! 

The ensuing narcissistic, masochistic and schizophrenic behavioural traits come to the fore and crusades and jihads take over the religious mission and replace it with ethnocentric and egocentric objective of establishing world supremacy! Is it not foolhardy for anyone to fight for the Creator, God or Allah that we all know is OMNISCIENT and OMNIPOTENT? A comparative analysis of the origins and development of crusades and jihads seems proper here! So, let ask Wikipedia or the encyclopaedias!

Counterfeits had always existed in every human endeavour but the worst is the one that proposed that humans developed from monkey-like creatures called apes. If that theory were true, by now, after a century it could have become A SCIENTIFIC LAW! Austrian monk, McGregor Mendel’s theory of inheritance in all species was only recognised post-homously. It passed all the hurdles that met the classification and differentiations of laws versus theories. All natural scientists, whether in botany or zoology, human or veterinary medicine, psychology or politics, sociology and anthropology must study his theories meticulously to pass any professional examinations! 

But to date, the disciples of the pastor-turned observer of biological evolution, the ape-like Charles Darwin, who initially set out to explain to his peers why he looked very much like an ape are still groping in the dark alleys of theories that will never become any law in any scientific community! Take a critical look of any of the pictures of Charles Darwin who was a trained Anglican priest. Place it beside a picture of a full grown male ape. It will be difficult for your ten year child to differentiate. That experiment will reveal the objective of theologically trained pastor wandering off to observe animals in their natural habitats as he claimed was the ORIGIN OF SPECIES. 

The truth; however was he had a subconscious need to extricate himself from the jeers and sneers of his age-mates who taunted him with being a grandson of an ape. He set out to blacklist all humans as descendants of apes and so rebuff the adolescent taunts of his peer group! Otherwise tell me, what time had a missionary pastor to veer into unknown scientific areas he never received any for mal training? No one had ever bordered to ask these pertinent and revealing questions all along. 

Now, Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez has belled the cats let all the scientific rats come out of their cowardice and ask the relevant questions on why a non-scientist was allowed to derail THE POSITIVE AND SELF-EVIDENT RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE OF THE THEORY OF CREATIONISM.

THE UNIVERSE IS THE HANDIWORK OF A SUPREME INTELLIGENCE

Creationism is the affirmation, not merely a belief that the universe and the various forms of life were created by God out of nothing (ex nihilo). Biblical creationists believe that the story told in Genesis of God's six-day creation of all things is literally correct. Scientific creationists believe that a creator made all that exists, but they may not hold that the Genesis story is a literal history of that creation. Both types of creationists, however, believe that changes in organisms may involve changes within a species or downward changes (negative mutations), but they do not believe that any of these changes can lead to the evolution of a lower or simpler species into a higher or more-complex species. Thus, the theory of biological evolution is disputed by all creationists.
Creationism became the object of renewed interest among conservative religious groups following the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1809–82), the first systematic statement of evolutionary theory. Within two decades most of the scientific community had accepted some form of evolution, and most churches eventually followed suit.
In the early 20th century, some state legislatures in the United States banned the teaching of evolution on the ground that it contradicted the biblical creation story, which they considered a revealed truth.

The result was the famous Scopes Trial (the so-called “Monkey Trial”) of 1925, in which a high-school teacher, John T. Scopes, was convicted of unlawfully teaching the theory of evolution (he was later acquitted on a technicality).
Beginning in the late 20th century, many creationists advocated a view known as intelligent design, which was essentially a scientifically modern version of the argument from design for the existence of God as set forth by the Anglican clergyman William Paley (1743–1805). Today most creationists in the United States continue to work toward their goal of ensuring that the biblical creation story, or at least the idea that the universe and living things were divinely created, is taught alongside evolution in the public schools.


IS DIFFERENTIATIONS/IMPROVEMENT IN SPECIES BY BLIND CHANCE?

Evolution is a theory in biology postulating that the various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other pre-existing types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory.

The 19th-century English naturalist Charles Darwin argued that organisms come about by evolution, and he provided a scientific explanation, essentially correct but incomplete, of how evolution occurs and why it is that organisms have features—such as wings, eyes, and kidneys—clearly structured to serve specific functions. Natural selection was the fundamental concept in his explanation. Natural selection occurs because individuals having more-useful traits, such as more-acute vision or swifter legs, survive better and produce more progeny than individuals with less-favourable traits. Genetics, a science born in the 20th century, reveals in detail how natural selection works and led to the development of the modern theory of evolution. Beginning in the 1960s, a related scientific discipline, molecular biology, enormously advanced knowledge of biological evolution and made it possible to investigate detailed problems that had seemed completely out of reach only a short time previously—for example, how similar the genes of humans and chimpanzees might be (they differ in about 1–2 percent of the units that make up the genes).

MY DEAR READER, DID YOUR GRANDPARENTS EVOLVE FROM APES, BABOONS, CHIMPANZEE, GORILLAS AND/OR MONKEYS? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, PLEASE STOP READING ANY OF MY PAPERS---OH!

A KENEZIAN CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER

It is my proven conclusion therefore that it was abracadabra religious dissension that produced the most heinous theories in world history. This was/is/will remain the origin of all religious dissensions that watered down the pristine views of man and gradually over the centuries opened the eyes of all that one can theorise in the wrong direction and still have a popular following by demonised and people of crooked thinking. That was the remote genesis of the previous world wars that enthroned superiority of races, blood and intelligence that engineered the earliest religious crusades and jihads.
Before Charles Darwin, piety reigned! After Charles Darwin, hell was let loose so that all the demons escaped from hellfire, came down to our human world, filled the earth and bred all the demagogues that spawned unscientific theories, doctrines and dogmas that led to all the previous genocides mistakenly called “world wars”! My dear, can’t you now see the mother theory of evolution that gave birth to all the other nefarious evolutions that is now the pandemic the world is suffering from?
------------- QUOT ERAT DEMONSTRADUM!   
The international reparative solutions to our battered world are neatly encapsulated in these integrational stanzas divinely dictated by the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of the Entire Universe to a humble adolescent who delayed making them public for over 55 years for he lacked the courage to publish earlier due to fear of being labelled an apostate.

FINAL POST ON THE INTRODUCTION TO IGBO RELIGION WEBSITE OF DR JIDEOFO KENECHUKWU DANMBAEZUE, AGUNABU UMUELECHI BIAFRA

 

A PRAGMATIC ATTEMPT AT DEFINING THE EXISTENTIAL TRUTH THAT UNREPENTANT RELIGIONISTS HAVE EVADED FOR CENTURIES THAT LED TO THE PREVIOUS WORLD WARS AND STILL IS LEADING US INTO A NIHILISTIC WORLD WAR 3


Dr Jideofo Kenechukwu Danmbaezue, D.Sc.
Every branch of knowledge comes under classical philosophy, the king of all studies whether scientific or not. That is why Ph. D. is regarded and is the summit of academic ascent. Other doctorate degrees build on this base, like D.Litt. and D.Sc., which are post-doctoral degrees obtained only by exceptional students who major in advanced researches in the specialised fields. All knowledge comes under the scrutiny of Philosophy. To appreciate my dissertation, therefore, we must established baselines for what we can and should accept as truth for the citizens of this global village our world has turned into!

The meaning of truth has been explained by some philosophers as relating to objects or visible realities; namely Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Dewey and Descartes. These were the front liners in the realism, pragmatism, existentialism, for they raised and gave us insight into the question: 

WHAT IS TRUTH? 

They tried to answer; can truth be known with certainty without subjective colorinations by individuals? How do we know that we actually know anything, in other words; what is reality?

Because of these types of questions, great thinkers try to decipher the nature of reality. Reality as we have earlier stated can be subjective or objective. Here, we are concerned with the reality that cuts across intellectual pursuits, academic excellence and international boundaries! Can reality be practically and conceptually perceived?

IN I S M OR KENEZIANISM, WE DO NOT HOLD BRIEFS FOR THOSE WHO SPEAK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THEIR MOUTH OR WITH THEIR TONGUES IN THEIR CHEEKS! WE BLURT IT OUT AS IT IS. FOR US TRUTH IS A GENUINE AND TRANSPARENT REPRESENTATION OF EVENTS AS THEY OCCURRED OR OF FACTS AS THE CREATOR HAS MADE THEM. TRUTH IS NAKED. ANYWHERE YOU FIND IT WEARING PANTS, BRA, LIPSTICK OR SUNSHADE, REJECT IT FOR IT HAS CEASED TO BE TRUTH! TRUTH IS INNOCENT AND GUILTLESS. IT IS ALWAYS A NEWBORN BABY FROM THE CREATOR.  
   
Human knowledge is based upon the truth of things, facts, visible realities and evidence that mortal men observe in the created universe. To know the truth implies the knowledge, comprehension or understanding of reality. Knowledge or truth that arise from such sources as common sense, honest observation, right reasoning and practical experience are referred to and respected as scientific! That is our concern in this dissertation that will integrate all shades of opinion under normal temperature and pressure. Other sources like authority, tradition, intuition and revelation belong to another realm of knowledge where belief and faith reign supreme. This brand of knowledge has eternally been the conundrum the breeds disagreements, socio-centric nepotism, apartheid policies, racial inequalities in creed, politics and religion.

Following the practical or observable aspects of reality; Socrates, who incidentally was the first victim of holding on to the truth, with his students; Plato, Aristotle and some others maintained that truth was/is objective or that it is concerned with things in practical life. The greatest philosopher that gave us the genesis of true knowledge and thereby established the accurate definition of truth, was Rene Descartes who gave us the axiom “COGITO, EGO SUM’ literally meaning; “I DOUBT, THEREFORE I AM”; or “I know from my ability to doubt, that at least I exist” This is what is known as truth correspondence between what is said and what one says about it!

Prior to Descartes ultimate work on Epistemology, Aristotle had described truth in his Metaphysics thus: Truth consists in saying or affirming of being: that it is, and non-being, that it is not. This was also the views held by Parmenides and Protogoras. “All things are true in as much as they are”, and, “That is true which is in reality as it is seen by the one perceiving it” are other ways early philosophers described reality. The correspondence theory of Augustine of Hippo summarised the point by stating that the nature of the truth consists in the conformity of thing with the intellect. Thomas Aquinas later opined that, truth is the correspondence of the intellect with the extra-mental object or particular entity. This he called ontological or existential truth, which pragmatic, verifiable and subjective in that it is experienced and verifiable.

Those of us who belong to pragmatic and existential schools of thought agree, accept and affirm that truth being the formulation of experience is certain of popularity since in the final analysis; truth is always economical, convenient and successful in practice. It saves time and money as it insists on the cash-value of an idea. The pragmatist examines the fruits, consequences and facts of truth. It is expedient in the way of our thinking... In the case of the rational enterprise we are here concerned with, its rational coherence or consistency occurs when it agrees with the system of concept and relations already accepted as true by philosophers, natural scientists and computer-age students.

KENEZIAN  REVOLUTIONARY POSITION

“All that shines is not gold”, was and still is one of the earliest English proverbs I learnt in 1956 as a Standard One pupil in a religious school ran by the Roman Catholic Mission during the Colonial Era in Nigeria before we were granted the pseudo independence. We are still disillusioned post-colonial citizens suffering depersonalisation syndromes under the British manufactured weight of insincerity in lumping peoples of different genealogies, historical roots, languages, socio-political orientation and religious perspective to date. This author has come of age since the turn of the century and here is one of his queries on what he was forced to internalise or assimilate, by both classical and operant conditioning subliminal operations. The product half a decade later is a failed experiment as represented by this consultant clinical psychologist, existential family therapist and a revolutionary theosophist.

ROMAN CATHOLICISM

versus

CHRISTIANITY WORLDWIDE

versus

JESUS GOOD NEWS

There are COLOSSAL DIFFERENCES between the VARIOUS DENOMINATIONS in what we falsely call CHRISTENDOM!
You do not need a doctorate degree to know that Catholicism is not same as Christianity, nor do you need to be literate to notice that the two words are spelt differently. A primary school pupil can easily teach a village man or woman the variations in the alphabetical arrangement of the two differing words.

Every semi-illiterate can easily guess the syllogism that this title is bound to generate, the arguments for and against each subtitle, compare, and contrast what the conclusions are likely to be at the end of the debate.
However, the problem is that the average member of the variety of the ancient and modern denominations of present day Christendom, claiming to be bona-fide Christians may never have known nor have imagined or seen that one is a corruption of the other. Are you ready to remove your tinted binoculars now?

KENEZIAN JESUS CHRISTIANITY WORLDWIDE

I respect all my devoted followers, so I guess many of my readers who have been dogmatised and indoctrinated since birth will query my authority in declaring that only chapters 5, 6 & 7 as documented by an apostle chosen by Jesus is the authentic and divine Good News that will save a child of the Almighty Creator. I have decided ONLY to reprint here the brief and scholarly depositions from WYCLIFFE COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE. Find it and digest!

 

“Matthew had described Christ's activity in proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom (Matt 4:17,23), it was proper for him to include for his readers a full discussion by Jesus of this subject. Hence the Sermon on the Mount is not primarily a statement of principles for the Christian church (which was yet unrevealed), nor an evangelistic message for the unsaved, but a delineation of the principles that would characterize the Messianic kingdom Christ was announcing. Later, Israel's rejection of her King delayed the coming of his kingdom, but even now Christians, having given their allegiance to the King and having been made spiritually to anticipate some of the blessings of his kingdom (Col 1:13), may see God's ideal in this sublime discourse and will assent to its high standards! ”  Dr Kenez concurs.

DR KENEZ INSISTS THAT JESUS ‘GOOD NEWS’ IS NOT THE TRADITIONS OF MEN PATENTED INROME NOR THE DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS IN THE IDOLATROUS CHRISTENDOM OF TODAY

THE KENEZIAN POSITION IS THAT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AS DELIVERED BY ITS AUTHOR;
 JESUS OF NAZARETH; AS WAS RECORDED BY APOSTLE MATTHEW IS THE ONLY AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY; KNOWN AS THE ‘GOOD NEWS’.

THE CURRENT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PRACTISED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND BY IMPERIAL COLONIAL EXPANSION ALL OTHER VARIATIONS OF IT WORLDWIDE IS ROMAN MITHRAISM DRESSED UP AS PAULINE CHRISTIANITY!

Jesus was deified by Roman Emperor Constantine to marry a Christian girl he fell in love with and Saul as the guardian of the damsel demanded that he must first convert to his brand of Christianity to achieve his desire. Thus Roman Paganism mixed with Mithraism the Greek religion they had before the arrival of Saul of Tarsus produced the adulterated Pauline version with all the personality attributes of Mithra god, all the liturgical celebrations and feasts of the ‘sun-god’ hoisted on Jesus of Nazareth, re-branded and patented in Rome as ‘god-the-son’ and later exported to the whole world as Roman Catholic mission! 


Saul of Tarsus never met Jesus alive and so was neither a disciple of Jesus nor one of his chosen/trained apostles. Neither Peter, the head of the apostles; James nor John his deputies were/was involved in the notorious Council of Nicea that ratified its formation and therefore it was/is a heretical counterfeit that was unauthorised, unedifying, psychoneurotical, illegal and a complete forgery! 
It still is to date!!

THE FIRST COUNCIL OF THE CHURCH HELD INJERUSALEM WAS CHAIRED BY JAMES, From RSV ACTS 15 Verses 12 – 21

12 And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.
13 After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brethren, listen to me.
14 Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,
16 'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up,
17 that the rest of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,
18 says the Lord, who has made these things known from of old.'
19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God,
20 but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood.
Ge 9:4; 35:2; Ex 20:3,23; Le 3:17; De 12:16,23; Eze 20:30; 1Co 6:9,18; 8:1; 10:20,28; Ga 5:19; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1Th 4:3; 1Pe 4:3; Re 2:14,20
21 For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues."

Note the historical sources of James summary of what was fundamentally mandatory for all Children of God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ge 9:4; 35:2; Ex 20:3,23; Le 3:17; De 12:16,23; Eze 20:30; 1Co 6:9,18; 8:1; 10:20,28; Ga 5:19; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1Th 4:3; 1Pe 4:3; Re 2:14,20
What was done at the Council of Nicea was demonic and the handiwork of Satan as usual. How could a council convened by a Pagan Emperor for all political, religious and military leaders in the entire Roman Empire without the invitation of Peter, James and John be legitimate when they were craftily sidelined?


WHO IS ASKING ME FOR A PRECISE COMMENTARY

What is there to comment?

Unless you are devoid of independent thought and a slave of religious fanaticism drunk with man-made doctrines & dogmas; THEN YOU CANNOT REALISE

1. That JESUS was not A CHRISTIAN 

2. His SERMON was not SECTARIAN

3. He did not ESTABLISH Roman Catholicism or current Christianity

4. JESUS was not a ROMAN, nor was Apostle Peter, James or John.

5. The COUNCIL of Jerusalem ACTS 15; verses 12 to 21 was the only LEGITIMATE one and spelt out THE FOUR BASIC REQUIREMENTS that Gentiles must observe to be saved.

6. The Council of Nicea was not only ILLEGITIMATE but also completely HERETICAL for deifying one who never needed 'SON OF GOD' title.

7. Therefore, all the DOCTRINES and DOGMAS conceived, developed, manufactured and patented in Rome is paganish Idolatry that is LEADING millions to HELLFIRE! ULTIMATELY, Satan is again having the LAST LAUGH as he did in the Garden of Eden where he used Eve to get Adam to disobey the Creator. This time, he used another Eve, Saul of Tarsus & Constantine the Great.

My dearly Beloved in Christ,

ARE WE IN THE BOAT THAT PETER WAS BEFORE HE STEPPED ON TO THE WATERS, THEN DOUBTED AND BEGAN SINKING BEFORE CALLING OUT FOR HELP AND JESUS SAVED HIM......

OR ARE IN A SOPHISTICATED ENGINEERED ONE WE MAY NEVER FEAR DROWNING BUT IS HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND JESUS IS NOT THE CAPTAIN......

MAN IS BORN FREE BUT EVERY WHERE I SEE HIM IN CHAINS. BEING A PRISONER OF THE WORST PRISON IN THIS WORLD IF ONE REALLY KNOWS HE IS IN A PRISON.......

BUT THERE IS A PRISON FAR MORE WORSE...
WHEN YOU ARE BORN INTO A WELL DESIGNED AND DECORATED PRISON LABELLED FREEDOM FROM EARTHLY STRESS...YOU ARE PRINCES AND PRINCESSES..YOU ARE BORN TO BE PROSPEROUS..YOU ARE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM......

BUT ONLY A FEW ARE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO SEE AND REALISE THE DESPITE ALL THE DECORATIONS AND HYPERBOLES TO CONVINCE THE SEMI-EDUCATED, THAT PRISON IS ADMINISTERED BY LUCIFER HIMSELF AND HE AS USUAL HAS DRESSED AS THE ANGEL OF LIGHT... WHO GOES ABOUT SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR...

OPEN YOUR EYES.. IT IS NOT IN WHICH SHIP OR BOAT YOU ARE IN THAT MATTERS...IT IS WHO IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE BOAT YOU ARE IN...

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE....
Dr J. K. Danmbaezue reminds all.


EPILOGUE:

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE AVERAGE MEMBER OF THE VARIETY OF THE ANCIENT AND MODERN DENOMINATIONS OF PRESENT DAY CHRISTENDOM, CLAIMING TO BE BONA-FIDE CHRISTIANS MAY NEVER HAVE KNOWN NOR HAVE IMAGINED OR SEEN THAT ONE IS A CORRUPTION OF THE OTHER. 
Postscript:

Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, an exemplary ex-seminarian since the 1970s, is a stoic of the first class genre, a moral crusader of no mean order; a war battered veteran of the Degema Strike Force in 12th Commando Brigade of Biafra(1968 -1970) as well as a retired Nigerian Air Force Officer (1975 -1979)! Therefore, he speaks his mind and so, he owes no one any apologies for his strong views in this crusade to sanitise the Catholic Church in particular, and other churches in general!

WHAT IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM

ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS AN IMPERIAL ADULTERATED VERSION OF CHRISTAINTY

 

Roman Catholicism

The Roman Catholics in the world outnumber all other Christians combined. They are organized in an intricate system that spans the structure of the church from the local parish to the papacy. Under the central authority of the papacy, the church is divided into dioceses, whose bishops act in the name and by the authority of the pope but retain administrative freedom within their individual jurisdictions. Similarly, the parish priest stands as the executor of papal and diocesan directives. Alongside the diocesan organization and interacting with it is a chain oforders, congregations, and societies; all of them are, of course, subject to the pope, but they are not directly responsible to the bishop as are the local parishes. It would, however, be a mistake to interpret the polity of the Roman Catholic Church in so purely an organizational manner as this. For Roman Catholic polity rests upon a mandate that is traced to the action of Jesus Christ himself, when he invested Peter and, through Peter, his successors with the power of the keys in the church. Christ is the invisible head of his church, and by his authority the pope is the visible head.
This interpretation of the origin and authority of the church determines both the attitude of Roman Catholicism to the rest of Christendom and its relation to the social order. Believing itself to be the true church of Jesus Christ on earth, it cannot deal with other Christian traditions as equals without betraying its very identity. This does not mean, however, that anyone outside the visible fellowship of the Roman Catholic Church cannot be saved; nor does it preclude the presence of “vestiges of the church” in the other Christian bodies. At the second Vatican Council the Roman Catholic Church strongly affirmed its ties with its “separated brethren” both in Eastern Orthodoxy and in the several Protestant churches. As the true church of Christon earth, the Roman Catholic Church also believes itself responsible for the proclamation of the will of God to organized society and to the state. The church asserts its fundamental obligation, as the “light of the world” to which the revelation of God has been entrusted, to address the meaning of that revelation and of the moral law to the nations, and to work for a social and political order in which both revelation and the moral law can function.
The understanding that Roman Catholicism has of itself, its interpretation of the proper relation between the church and the state, and its attitude toward other Christian traditions are all based upon Roman Catholic doctrine. In great measure this doctrine is identical with that confessed by orthodox Christians of every label and consists of the Bible, the dogmatic heritage of the ancient church as laid down in the historic creeds and in the decrees of the ecumenical councils, and the theological work of the great doctors of the faith in the East and West. If, therefore, the presentation of the other Christian traditions in this article compares them with Roman Catholicism, this comparison has a descriptive rather than a normative function; for, to a considerable degree, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy have often defined themselves in relation to Roman Catholicism. In addition, most Christians past and present do have a shared body of beliefs about God, Christ, and the way of salvation.
Roman Catholic doctrine is more than this shared body of beliefs, as is the doctrine of each of the Christian groups. It is necessary here to mention only the three distinctive Roman Catholic doctrines that achieved definitive formulation during the 19th and 20th centuries: the infallibility of the pope, the immaculate conception, and bodily assumption of the Virgin Mary. On most other major issues of Christian doctrine, Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy are largely in agreement, while Protestantism differs from both Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism on several issues. For example, Roman Catholic theology defines and numbers the sacramentsdifferently from Orthodox theology; but, over against Protestantism, Roman Catholic doctrine insists, as does Eastern Orthodoxy, upon the centrality of the seven sacraments—baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, extreme unction, penance, matrimony, and holy orders—as channels of divine grace.

CHRISTIANITY WORLDWIDE 

Is a major religion, stemming from the life, teachings, and death of Jesus of Nazareth (the Christ, or the Anointed One of God) in the 1st century AD. It has become the largest of the world's religions. Geographically the most widely diffused of all faiths; it has a constituency of more than 2 billion believers. Its largest groups are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the Protestant churches; in addition to these churches there are several independent churches of Eastern Christianity as well as numerous sects throughout the world. See alsoEastern Orthodoxy; Roman Catholicism; and Protestantism.

This article first considers the nature and development of the Christian religion, its ideas, and its institutions. This is followed by an examination of several intellectual manifestations of Christianity. Finally, the position of Christianity in the world, the relations among its divisions and denominations, its missionary outreach to other peoples, and its relations with other world religions are discussed. For supporting material on various topics, see; biblical literature; doctrine and dogma; Jesus Christ;sacred; worship; prayer; creed; sacrament; religious dress;monasticism; and priesthood.
 THE ESSENCE AND IDENTITY OF CHRISTIANITY
At the very least, Christianity is the faith tradition that focuses on the figure of Jesus Christ. In this context, faith refers both to the believers' act of trust and to the content of their faith. As a tradition, Christianity is more than a system of religious belief. It also has generated a culture, a set of ideas and ways of life, practices, and artefacts that have been handed down from generation to generation since Jesus first became the object of faith. Christianity is thus both a living tradition of faith and the culture that the faith leaves behind. The agent of Christianity is the church, the community of people who make up the body of believers.
To say that Christianity “focuses” on Jesus Christ is to say that somehow it brings together its beliefs and practices and other traditions in reference to a historic figure. Few Christians, however, would be content to keep this reference merely historical. Although their faith tradition is historical—i.e., they believe that transactions with the divine do not occur in the realm of timeless ideas but among ordinary humans through the ages—the vast majority of Christians focus their faith in Jesus Christ as someone who is also a present reality. They may include many other references in their tradition and thus may speak of “God” and “human nature” or of “church” and “world,” but they would not be called Christian if they did not bring their attentions first and last to Jesus Christ.
While there is something simple about this focus on Jesus as the central figure, there is also something very complicated. That complexity is revealed by the thousands of separate churches, sects, and denominations that make up the modern Christian tradition. To project these separate bodies against the background of their development in the nations of the world is to suggest the bewildering variety. To picture people expressing their adherence to that tradition in their prayer life and church-building, in their quiet worship or their strenuous efforts to change the world, is to suggest even more of the variety.
Given such complexity, it is natural that throughout Christian history both those in the tradition and those surrounding it have made attempts at simplification. Two ways to do this have been to concentrate on the “essence” of the faith, and thus on the ideas that are integral to it, or to be concerned with the “identity” of the tradition, and thus on the boundaries of its historical experience.
Modern scholars have located the focus of this faith tradition in the context of monotheistic religions. Christianity addresses the historical figure of Jesus Christ against the background of, and while seeking to remain faithful to, the experience of one God. It has consistently rejected polytheism and atheism.
A second element of the faith tradition of Christianity, with rare exceptions, is a plan of salvation or redemption. That is to say, the believers in the church picture themselves as in a plight from which they need rescue. For whatever reason, they have been distanced from God and need to be saved. Christianity is based on a particular experience or scheme directed to the act of saving—that is, of bringing or “buying back,” which is part of what redemption means, these creatures of God to their source in God. The agent of that redemption is Jesus Christ.
It is possible that through the centuries the vast majority of believers have not used the term essence to describe the central focus of their faith. The term is itself of Greek origin and thus represents only one part of the tradition, one element in the terms that have gone into making up Christianity. Essence refers to those qualities that give something its identity and are at the centre of what makes that thing different from everything else. To Greek philosophers it meant something intrinsic to and inherent in a thing or category of things, which gave it its character and thus separated it from everything of different character. Thus Jesus Christ belongs to the essential character of Christianity and gives it identity in the same way that Buddha does for Buddhism.
If most people are not concerned with defining the essence of Christianity, in practice they must come to terms with what the word essence implies. Whether they are engaged in being saved or redeemed on the one hand, or thinking and speaking about that redemption, its agent, and its meaning on the other, they are concentrating on the essence of their experience. Those who have concentrated from within the faith tradition have also helped to give it its identity. It is not possible to speak of the essence of a historical tradition without referring to how its ideal qualities have been discussed through the ages. Yet one can take up the separate subjects of essence and identity in sequence, being always aware of how they interrelate.

JESUS GOOD NEWS 
THE KENEZIAN POSTION IS THAT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AS DELIVERED BY ITS AUTHOR JESUS OF NAZARETH AS WAS RECORDED MY APOSTLE MATTHEW IS THE ONLY AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY

Matthew 5 
5:1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 
2 and he began to teach them, saying: 
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. 
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 
13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 
14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. 
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. 
19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practises and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. 
21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. 
23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 
24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. 
25 "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 
26 I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. 
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. 
31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. 
33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 
34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 
35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 
36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 
37 Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes', and your 'No', 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. 
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 
39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 
40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 
41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. 
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' 
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 
Matthew 6 
6:1 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 
2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 
4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 
5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us today our daily bread. 
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.' 
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. 
16 "When you fast, do not look sombre as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 
17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 
18 so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 
23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 
24 "No-one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. 
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 
27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 
28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. 
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. 
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 
31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 
Matthew 7 
7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 
2 For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 
3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 
4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. 
6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. 
7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 
8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 
9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 
11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 
12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 
14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. 
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 
16 By their fruit you will recognise them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 
17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognise them. 
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. 
22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 
23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' 
24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 
25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 
26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 
27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." 
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 
29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

KENEZIAN JESUS CHRISTIANITY WORLDWIDE

I respect all my devoted followers, so I guess many of my readers who have been dogmatised and indoctrinated since birth will query my authority in declaring that only chapters 5, 6 & 7 as documented by an apostle chosen by Jesus is the authentic and divine Good News that will save a child of the Almighty Creator.  I have decided to only reprint here the brief and scholarly depositions from WYCLIFFE COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE

 

Matthew had described Christ's activity in proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom (Matt 4:17,23), it was proper for him to include for his readers a full discussion by Jesus of this subject. Hence the Sermon on the Mount is not primarily a statement of principles for the Christian church (which was yet unrevealed), nor an evangelistic message for the unsaved, but a delineation of the principles that would characterize the Messianic kingdom Christ was announcing. Later, Israel's rejection of her King delayed the coming of his kingdom, but even now Christians, having given their allegiance to the King and having been made spiritually to anticipate some of the blessings of his kingdom (Col 1:13), may see God's ideal in this sublime discourse and will assent to its high standard
Verse 1-2. Multitudes. A reference to the crowds of the previous verse, and an indication that this discourse was not given till the Galilean ministry was in full swing. Further proof is the advanced level of instruction herein contained. The mountain. The unnamed elevation, apparently nearCapernaum, on which Jesus found a level place to speak (Luke 6:17). His disciples. Luke shows that the Twelve had just been chosen (Luke 6:12-16), and the sermon was directed primarily to them (cf. Luke 6:20). However, some of it was heard by the multitudes (Matt 7:28; Luke 6:17).
a) Characteristics of Kingdom Citizens. 5:3-12

Matthew 5:3-5
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed. Happy. A description of a believer's inner condition. When describing a person in God's will, it is virtually equivalent to "saved." Ps 1 gives an OT picture of the blessed man, who evidences his nature by the things he does.
The Beatitudes, also, are not primarily promises to the individual but a description of him. They do not show a man how to be saved, but describe the characteristics manifested by one who is born again.
Poor in spirit. Opposite of proud in spirit. Those who have recognized their poverty in spiritual things and have allowed Christ to meet their need have become heirs of the kingdom of heaven. 4,5. Mourn (cf. Isa 61:3).
A sense of anguish for sin characterizes the blessed man. But genuine repentance will bring comfort to the believer.Since Christ bore the sins of every man, the comfort of full forgiveness is readily available (1 John 1:9).
Meek. Mentioned only by Matthew. An obvious allusion to Ps 37:11. The source of this meekness is Christ (Matt11:28-29), who bestows it when men submit their wills to his. Inherit the earth. The earthly Messianic kingdom

Matthew 5:6-9
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Hunger and thirst after righteousness. A deep passion for personal righteousness. Such desire is evidence of dissatisfaction with present spiritual attainment (contrast Pharisee, Luke 18:9 ff.). Merciful (cf. Ps 18:25). Those who put pity into action can expect similar mercy both from men and God. Pure in heart. Those whose moral being is free from contamination with sin, without divided interests or loyalties. To them, as possessors of God's pure nature, belongs the unclouded vision of God, which will reach consummation when Christ returns (1 Cor 13:12; 1 John 3:2). Peacemakers. As God is "the God of peace" (Heb 13:20) and Christ is "Prince of Peace" (Isa 9:6), so peacemakers in the Kingdom will be recognized as partaking of God's nature, and will be properly honored


Matthew 5:10-16
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Persecuted for righteousness' sake. At the establishment of the Messianic kingdom, such wrongs will be set right. And even within that kingdom the presence of men with sinful natures will make evil a possibility, although it will be judged at once. The prophets. The OT seers who foretold the kingdom and proclaimed its righteous character met the same opposition (Jeremiah, Jer 20:2; Zechariah, 2 Chron 24:21).

I LEAVE YOU TO DO THE COMPARING AND CONTRASTING OF THE THREE DEPOSITIONS I HAVE ACADEMICALLY ASSEMBLED HERE AND DECIDE TO FOLLOW JESUS OR THE POPE

THE CURRENT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PRACTISED ALL OVER THE WORLD IS ROMAN MITHRANISM DRESSED UP AS PAULINE CHRISTIANITY!

Jesus was deified by Roman Emperor Constantine to marry a Christian girl he fell in love with and Saul as the guardian of the damsel demanded that he must first convert to his brand of Christianity to achieve his desire. Thus Roman Paganism mixed with Mithraism the Greek religion they had before the arrival of Saul of Tarsus produced the adulterated Pauline version with all the personality attributes of Mithra god, all the liturgical celebrations and feasts of the ‘sun-god’ hoisted on Jesus of Nazareth, re-branded and patented in Rome as ‘god-the-son’ and later exported to the whole world as Roman Catholic mission!
Saul of Tarsus never met Jesus alive and so was neither a disciple of Jesus nor one of his chosen/trained apostles. Neither Peter, the head of the apostles; James nor John his deputies were/was involved in the notorious Council of Nicea that ratified its formation and therefore it was/is a heretical counterfeit that was unauthorised, unedifying, psychoneurotical, illegal and a complete forgery! It still is to date!!

Postscript:
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE AVERAGE MEMBER OF THE VARIETY OF THE ANCIENT AND MODERN DENOMINATIONS OF PRESENT DAY CHRISTENDOM, CLAIMING TO BE BONA-FIDE CHRISTIANS MAY NEVER HAVE KNOWN NOR HAVE IMAGINED OR SEEN THAT ONE IS A CORRUPTION OF THE OTHER.
Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, an exemplary ex-seminarian since the 1970s, is a stoic of the first class genre, a moral crusader of no mean order; a war battered veteran of the Degema Strike Force in 12th Commando Brigade of Biafra (1968 -1970) as well as a retired Nigerian Air Force Officer (1975 -1979)! Therefore, he speaks his mind and so, he owes no one any apologies for his strong views in this crusade to sanitise the Catholic Church in particular, and other churches in general!


JESUS DID NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD  HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD

Truth is Supreme and will rise no matter for how long it has been suppressed or buried by centuries of doctrines and dogmas fabricated in Rome. The errors of the Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church are so numerous that the little Pope John Paul II did by way of apologetics during his papacy barely scratched at the surface of the centuries’ old crime of misleading the whole Christendom.

The most heinous was accepting a Pagan Emperor to deify JESUS OF NAZARETH, who insisted he was the SON OF MAN severally during his ministry. He never claimed equality with OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN! The Lord’s Prayer succinctly proves that, so also did several other passages in all the New Testament narratives.

None of the Apostle he trained ever called him, SON OF GOD. Where ever that title is seen in the Bible is false. He was a man and never deviated from being human; he ate, urinated, defecated, laughed, slept, sighed, empathised, sympathised and cried at the loss of his friend, Lazarus.

When hungry he sent his disciples to buy food, when thirsty he asked the woman at Jacob’s well in Cana of Galilee for a drink. He earlier on gate crashed into a wedding feast in that same city only his mother was officially invited. Arriving with all his followers, they depleted the bridegroom’s stock so much that his mother had to force him to multiply seven jars of water, which then saved the face of the Newly- Weds and surprised the Master of Ceremony.

He cursed a vine tree to dry up right from the roots for not producing the basic ingredients for making wine, multiplied five loaves and two fishes to feed his congregation and later did same with seven loaves. Here was a human pastor unlike today’s prosperity preachers who milk their congregations dry with mandatory 1st, 2nd, etc offerings, outlandish donations in cash and kind and still pay their monthly tithes.

The list is inexhaustible. The few are enough to buttress my deposition that Jesus of Nazareth was full of compassion, was truly human and humanitarian all through his earthly ministry. So where did the Doctrine of Holy Trinity sprout from, if not from demonic influence to derail the follower into IDOLATRY, which the Mosaic Laws forbade. Jesus is not happy with being set up against the Almighty Creator and Father of us all.

To crown it all and fully demonstrate its satanic origin the falsehood of he rising from the dead is subliminally implied in the Nicene Creed; “ He rose from the dead.” thereby insinuating Jesus was divine and so had the superhuman power to raise himself from the grave. As often happens with liars, the proponents of that doctrine or dogma FORGOT that the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is INFALLIBLE, but here is exposed as FALLIBLE since the official creed is that Jesus is FULLY HUMAN and not HALF-MAN and HALF-GOD.

The Igbo says that no matter how clever a man is, he cannot bury himself at death. The Yoruba concurs by emphatically stating that no matter how intelligent one can be, no one can ever clap with one hand. The Late Moshood Abiola popularised this. I owe him that acknowledgement. I am ignorant of the words of wisdom other ethnic groups use to exemplify the absurdity of speaking from both sides of the same mouth. TUFIA KWA.

The English would corroborate with “you cannot eat your cake and have it”. Roman Catholics have to make up their minds that JESUS REALLY DIED ON THE CROSS OR ACCEPT THE RECENT SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT A MAN CAN SURVIVE THE TORTURES HE HAD. THIS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED SEVERALLY.

• If the former, A dead man cannot RAISE HIMSELF from the dead.
• If the latter, the doctrine of being saved by his blood shed on Calvary will have to be placed on hold.

All the versions of the Bible state categorically as recorded in
Matthew Chapter 27 from the original King JamesVersion.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints that slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

IF JESUS DIED AND WAS BURIED, THEN AS A HUMAN BEING HE STOPPED BREATHING AND HIS BRAIN CELLS STOPPED WORKING.
• King Solomon asserts that a DEAD MAN IS HELPLESS. So only the POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY whom Jesus serve faithfully till death on the cross COULD HAVE RAISED HIM.
• If on the other hand the RCM insists that HE RAISED HIMSELF then JESUS either did not fully die on the cross or HE WAS A GOD IN HUMAN FORM and so he was HALF-MAN, HALF-GOD.
NOTA BENE; THIS IS ONLY AN APPETISER, A PROLOGUE TO THE GREATEST DEBATE YOU WILL EVER READ IN THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE. YOU ARE WARNED TO READ WITH CAUTION AND TO ABANDON THE EXERCISE ONCE YOU START FEELING DIZZY, PLEASEOOOOH
