Religion doesn't teach you how to be righteous, it teaches you how to follow doctrines blindly.
BIBLIOGRAPHY: The doctrine of the Bible
THEOLOGY: the proper doctrine of God. What about the improper doctrine of God? Why did I ask this question? I asked because, if there is a proper fraction, there should be improper fraction. One thing we don't seem to understand is the idea of secretly hiding the very reality of things and presents what looks like the real as the proper and the proper is now hidden or presented as the improper. I am going somewhere with the point I am trying to make and the point is clear. I mean, if we are sensitive to judge things by the method of fruit, we will discover, what we termed proper is actually portraying the character of the improper and this is because the devil design a strategy of presenting bit by bit the improper in what they termed proper and this is where we have deviation in most of our Christian doctrine today, and it all boils down to the origin from where the name Christians was birthed and the underlying intent of the devil through the world in Acts 11: 26 which gave us a definition of Christianity as Like-Christ which is not different from the reality picture in Genesis 3: 5 which the devil deceived us to want to present ourselves like God the moment we become selfish. The problem of Christianity is self and if we can understand this truth, we will cease from our own ways and follow God's ordained way. The world will soon come to know the mask behind religion and the truth religion presents to us is simply deception in disguise.
CHRISTOLOGY: the doctrine of Jesus Christ, this was simply designed by man, because if you read your Bible, Jesus did not say this my doctrine and the reason why I am saying this even as I am being led is, the church have not really come to know who Jesus is, so they end up creating a kind of dichotomy that is raising more dust and causing more controversies, such that even within the fold of Christianity, they are conflicting views and this is the major cause for split that results into what we call denomination today. My stand is and my stand is what He had revealed to me in His way (Jesus Christ) and that stand is my testimony and my testimony is simply Jesus is God who came to cancel the wages of sin with the condition of His grace to rescue man back to Himself, if such man acknowledge His way (truth) and believe in His name (Jesus Christ). If Jesus is being presented as a doctrine, the world will not see to know that He is God, but will see Him as man sent by God and this is what is causing serious confusion in Christianity today and most orthodox Christians is beginning to embrace the lies from the pit of hell that the Bible is not the Word of God. Jesus Christ is not a man that can be studied, He is not a great prophet, He is not what people think He is, as wrong perceived when they call Him Son of God which needs Divine enablement to truly reach the knowledge of what that mean, which I have elaborately taking my time to explain in most of my books, Jesus is truly God, take it or leave it, every man is entitled to whatever he wants to believe, but this is my resolve, believe and my confession.
John was the man sent by God, just the way we have train of lists of men whom God has used in the old time and men whom God is still using in our time and you are also one, just the way I am and it is my mandate to point you to some Divine truth most of our churches may not point you to. The Bible never said, "Jesus was a man sent by God", but said, "He is a gift of love that was given up for our sin". This mean Jesus is simply God given Himself as a Divine gift which offer Himself to die in the place of us all (mankind) who was guilty of the penalty of sin which is death.
PNEUMATOLOGY: the doctrine of the Holy Spirit (Beware of the Quakers and Shakers).
ANGELOGY: the doctrine of angels (including Satan and demons). We need such, if it is not deceptions, why presenting to us what does not exist in the light? No demons, even Satan himself cannot stand the light of God's glory, therefore, all we need to do is draw nearer to God and all that is patterning the reality of what we need to know patterning life and godliness, He will teach us. A lot of people ended up becoming possess by evil spirit all in the name of going to study in theological schools and come out with all kinds of gimmicks and strange concepts of ministering the Word of God which is far from the ordained. I have personally seen things with my naked eyes, when I was in Lagos while I visited life Bible Seminary.
ANTHROPOLOGY: the doctrine of man (which man?). I asked this question because the Bible gave us a picture of what man is and how desperate and wicked his heart is. This could be pointing to the Anti-Christ who has the number of man….
The list goes on and on...
I am not saying the doctrines are wrong, I am only saying these doctrines has been misinterpreted and a lot of things has been added and a lot of things has been taken out of them and what is left now, seem to live us in utter confusion such that we end up speaking different languages (preaching never aligning messages) for one God. God understands just one language and that language understands all languages and that language is love that must be in truth and in spirit. Love is what births faith in the face of trust, releasing grace in the place of humility, such that, all of God's desire for and from us is to obey His command and do His will in order to rest in His eternal love. Why did I say, "For" and "From us"? This is because, God's desire for us is more important than our desire for ourselves and His desire for us is what will ignite our passion to do what He desire from us. Simply to explain this, we can only love God out of the abundance of love He has for us.
These endless list of doctrines will live us more confuse if we have not first truly encounter God and that is why we have Bible with big titles, but have not the character of God, proud and pompous, thinking their pompous is a ticket to authenticate the truth they know about God.
Do not be deceived!
