My Disagreement with the Jehovah Witness Church

Remember those good-looking, well-dressed, smiling people who stand on the street carrying small magazines written “Awake”? They are the dedicated members of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses, better known in some places as the “Watchtowers”. As you might expect, I bear so much responsibility with these difficult topics, hence I write with seriousness and fear, so that even if I am wrong, I am ready to stand for correction, or otherwise face the consequences of being a liar. The original founder of the Jehovah Witnesses Organization was a certain Charles T Russell, who was then succeeded by Judge Rutherford after his death. Again, I am not too concerned that Charles Russell falsely predicted that the world was going to end in 1914, but I am more interested in refuting the deceptive teachings that he set for our JW relatives. Indeed, there is too much in that organization to be examined in one lifetime, regardless, we are going to try our best to tackle these major ones… Who is Jesu

My Personal Issue With the SDA Church

Indeed I used the word “personal” as the headline of my script, yet the truth is, I have no personal problem with any faith, or church whatsoever. My issue is and will always be a doctrinal one . That is, I begin by looking at Scripture and the truth therein, then use that to judge my own life, and also anything else, including churches and other religions at large. As you might expect, the views expressed in this article are not coming from hear-say, but I have done my homework and consulted the official sources from our brothers in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. These are the concerning issues I have found out. Ellen G White If perhaps you are new to this name, Ellen White is not only the founder of the Seventh- Day movement, but her teachings are also the basis of the entire SDA Church doctrine. Her writings are what the SDA members call “the spirit of prophecy”. It is concerning enough that what she wrote is regarded by the Adventist Church as being “divinely inspired” (on the s

My Problem With the Roman Catholic Church

I apologize in advance if what I write here may be misunderstood as something with evil intentions. I just want to discuss honestly. Again, as I have mentioned before, I grew up in the Catholic world. Even today, I can still recite the 7 sacraments,  and even those beautiful songs that Mother sang for us. However, there is a reason why I disagree with the Catholic theology and practice, even though that does not take away my respect and love for my catholic friends. Since my concern is a theologian one, I have done my homework on this issue. Having read, not only the Catholic Catechism, but have also listened to some scholarly Catholic theologians, Trent Horn, for example, and also other sources such as the catholicanswers.com . Still, I have a problem with the issues below… Mary Doctrine Scripture does acknowledge that Mary was a woman, unlike any other woman on earth. Hence as much as I take issues with my evangelical brothers for not giving Mary enough credit, I also am severely con

What Happened to Covid19, Where Did It Go?

Remember that article about Covid-19 that we published somewhere in 2021; those days when all of us were being politely asked (I mean forced) to get jabbed or else there would be no access to borders, schools and even our work campuses. Well, it’s been 3 years since that pandemic which was predicated to wipe the whole of humanity out of existence, especially those pitiful Africans with bad health systems. Lo and behold, we are still here and there is no sign of anything called Covid19. I mean where did it go? It seems to have disappeared – completely!  No one wears a mask anymore, no more lockdowns, sanitizers are gathering dust in stores and even vaccines have expired and disposed of.  Even more amazing to my mind is the fact that no one talks about it anymore. Everyone has moved on with their lives as if nothing happened – just like that! Where did it go? Well, according to them (I mean the “experts”) the vaccines played a huge role in the fight against that pandemic. A lot of people

Beware of the 'image' Minister!

The world has a very smart way of advertising their brands. That is, they look for the most famous celebrity, pay him a large some and placard his portrait on some billboard. The idea is that people will be attracted to buy that product because of that famous personality. Somehow, some very clever minister discovered that trick and decided that the Gospel message wasn't enough to draw men to Christ. He also needed to make a beautiful portrait of him hugging his wife and through that, citizens would be so impressed until they have no choice but to come to his church . I challenge you to visit any church building these days, and you will not wait to be told who the founder of that denomination is; he will be displayed right on top of that church house. Am I the only one who thinks there is something severely skewed about this whole thing? Brothers, do we really believe that the Gospel is powerful enough to convert sinners? If so, why then do we resort to these tricks and gimmicks to

Does Positive Confession Really Work?

“My 2024 could very possibly be my finest year thus far…there is power in your words…,” said Pastor Jerry Savelle, just 24 hours before his death. I mean, try to imagine a scenario where you declare that this is your year, only to discover that the Almighty has annulled all that and has decided that you have 24 hours to draw your last breath. Our discussion today is centered on the popular theology that is common in Pentecostal circles. It says that you decide the outcome of your life through some positive words that you confess. Hence whenever you find yourself on the sickbed just deny that sickness and confess that you are well. Even something as troubling as poverty can be easily dealt with: “Just speak that you are rich”, they say. I am told that the Bible fully supports that “life and death is in the power of the tongue ( Prov 18:21 ).” I had time to also consult Dereck Prince, a highly esteemed man in terms of being a sound bible teacher. These are his words, “ Whenever we say wi

Is there Really A Difference Between Christianity & Other Religions?

Sooner than later, you will face the reality that there are many belief systems out there; who are well represented by their devoted followers. Hence you must be ready to answer the question: what about them? Does God exclude all those people from the gates of heaven when they are so dedicated and trying to seek Him through their religions, or is His mercy wide enough to include everyone, regardless of the religious group they belong to? What really is so special about Christianity that makes it distinct from other faiths? I don’t have enough time or paper to discuss all religious systems out there, however, let’s consider what is called the “major religions of the world.” To get to this, let’s tackle the core issue, namely salvation. According to these other beliefs, how does one get “saved” to enter heaven? Islam Apparently, Islam makes up 24% of the world’s population and it is somehow the fastest-growing religion of this century. Muslims believe that to get to paradise, one has to
