Conversely, the Project comes up with the titles, The GODHEAD & Humanity (Total Freedom from Spiritual Enslavement), volumes 1; 2 & 3, which also researched into the New Testament Bible, respectively. THE MOST UNFORTUNATE SORDID AFFAIRS IN THE CHRISTENDOM
Recording the most unfortunate state of affairs Christians the world over finds themselves in the Christendom, the Great Apostle Paul posits,
“Fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went because God revealed to me that I should go. In a private meeting with the leaders I explained the gospel message that I preach to the Gentiles. I did not want my work in the past or in the present to be a failure. My companion Titus, even though he is Greek, not forced to be circumcised, although some wanted it done. Pretending to be follow-believers, these men slipped into our group as spies, in order to find out about the freedom we have through our union with Christ. They wanted to make slaves (to the Abrahamic covenant, the Law of Moses and its attendant Ordinances) of us, but in order to keep the truth of the gospel safe for you we did not give in to them for a minute. But those who seemed to be the leaders – I say this because it makes no difference to me what they were; God does not judge by outward appearances – those leaders, I say, make no new suggestions to me. On the contrary, they saw that God had given me the task of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the task of preaching the gospel to the Jews. For by God’s power (energized by Grace embedded in undiluted tenet of the Gospel of Grace as established by Christ the Son of God as against the highly diluted grace message that the Lord Jesus Christ calls “The Awful Horror” in Matthew 24: 15 -28 propagated by the Apostle James, which most unfortunately has permeate every nook and cranny of the entire contemporary Christendom) I was made an apostle to the Gentiles, just as Peter was made an apostle to the Jews. James, Peter, and John (and those who now parade themselves as leaders in the Christendom that are propagating the apostle James’ version of the tenet of the New Covenant of Grace) who seemed to be the leaders, recognized that God had given this special task; so they shook h hands with Barnabas and me as a sign that we were all partners (is the assertion nothing but absolutely the truth? I doubt and I very much doubt!) We agreed that Barnabas and I would work among the Gentiles and them among the Jews. All they asked was that we should remember the needy in their group, which is the very thing I have been eager to do. But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong. Before some men who had been sent by James arrived there, Peter had been eating with the Gentile brothers. But after these men arrived there, he (hypocritically) drew back and would not eat with the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who were in favor of circumcising them. The other Jewish brothers also started acting like cowards along with Peter; and even Barnabas was swept along by their cowardly action. When I saw that they (inclusive of those towing their footsteps in the contemporary Christendom) were not walking a straight path in line with the truth of the gospel (in line with the undiluted tenet of the New Covenant of Grace), I said to Peter in front of them all, ‘You are a Jew, yet you have been living (since his arrival in Antioch) like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How, then, can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews? Indeed, we are Jews by faith and not ‘Gentile sinners,’ as they are called. Yet we know that a person is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, neither by doing what the Law {or the Abrahamic Old Covenant of Promise, such as giving first-fruit offerings and tithe payments) requires. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus in order to be put right with God through our faith in Christ, and not by doing with the Law requires. For no one is put right by doing what the Law requires. If, then, as we try to be put right with God by our union with Christ, we are found to be sinners as much as the Gentiles are – does that mean that Christ is serving the cause of sin? If I start to rebuild the system of Law that I tore down, then I show myself to be someone who breaks the Law. As far as the Law is concerned, however, I am dead – killed by the Law itself – in order that I might live for God. I have been put to death with Christ on his cross, so that it is no longer I who lives but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith as the Son of God who loved me and gave life for me. I refuse to reject the grace of God. But if a person is put right with God through the Law, it means that Christ died for nothing.” Galatians2: 1 -23. TOTAL FREEDOM FROM SPIRITUAL ENSLAVEMENT
Again, digitalizing the total freedom of the Christian in the dispensation of grace and in what the Good News Bible titles, Preserve your Freedom, the Great Apostle Paul posits,
“Freedom is what we have – Christ has set us free! Stand, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again (slaves to the Abrahamic Old Covenant of Promise because we are now products of the New Covenant of Grace in Christ Jesus the Son of God). Listen, I, Paul, tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, it means that Christ is of no use to you at all. Once more I warn any man who allows himself to be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole Law. Those of you who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut yourselves off from Christ. You are outside God’s grace (New Covenant of Grace!) As for us, our hope is that God will put us right with him; and this is what we wait for by the power of God’s Spirit working through our faith. For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love.” Galatians5: 1-6. Dearly beloved, as the Great Apostle Paul states above is the crux of the matter! Now we crave your indulgence to ask, if in one trying to be in good standing with the Almighty God by adhering to the tenet of the Old Covenant of Promise and the Law of Moses one is cut off from the Christ or cut off from the New Covenant of Grace, where does such a one stand? Your guess is as good as mine! Well, what is your take on it? Kindly oblige us your candid opinion and or comment after you have carefully pondered over the issue in relation to where your soul shall spend her eternity. Meanwhile, remain richly blessed in Jesus name. Amen – Paul Omo Umane
