Teachings And Recognition
Of The Messiah
By
The
Twelve Apostles
Teachings On
Spiritual Life
And
the twelve took boats and came to Dalmanatha by the
sea. Here they remained for many
days, and Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail, about
the kingdom of the Christ within the soul, about the power of faith, about the
secret of the resurrection of the dead, about immortal life, and how the living
may go forth and help the dead.
And
then they went into their boats, and came unto the northern coast of Galilee,
and in Chorazin where the kin of Thomas lived, they
left their boats and journeyed on.
The Recognition And
Confirmation Of The Messiah
They came to Marom
(pronounced Mar-rom), where the crystal waters seem to catch the images of
heaven and to reflect the glory of the Lord of Hosts. And here they tarried certain days in silent thought. And then they journeyed on, and came
into the land of Caesarea-Philippi. And
as they walked and talked among themselves, the Master said, “What do the
people say about the son of man? Who do they think I am?
And Matthew answered, “Some say that you are David come again. Some say that
you are Enoch, Solomon, or Seth.”
And Andrew replied, “I heard a ruler of the synagogue exclaim, ‘This man is
Jeremiah, for He speaks like Jeremiah wrote.’ ”
Nathaniel responded, “The foreign masters who were with us for a time, declared
that Jesus is Gautama (Buddha) come again.”
James said, “I think that most the Israelites believe you are the reappearance
of Elijah on the earth.”
And John spoke out and said, “When we were in Jerusalem, I heard a seer
exclaim, ‘This Jesus is none other than Melchizedek, the king of peace, who
lived about two thousand years ago, and said that he would come again.”
And Thomas said, “The Tetrarch Herod thinks that you are John arisen from the
dead. But then his conscience
troubles him. The spirit of the murdered John looms up before him in his
dreams, and haunts him as a threat of the night.”
And Jesus asked, “Who do you think I am?”
And Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the love of God made manifest to men.”
And Jesus said, “Thrice blessed are you, Simon Peter, Jonas' son. You have
declared a truth that God has given to you.
You are a rock, and you shall be a pillar in the temple of the Lord of Hosts.
And your confession, the Christ, is the cornerstone
of faith, a rock of strength, and on this rock the Church of Christ is
built. And all the powers of
darkness, Hades and death cannot prevail against it.
“Behold, I give to you the keys
to open up the doors of safety for the sons of men. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the others, and in
Jerusalem you shall stand before the nations of the earth, and there proclaim
the covenant of God with humanity. . And
you shall speak the words of Holy Spirit, and whatsoever God requires of
humanity as earnest of their faith in Christ, you shall make known.”
When Jesus came into the
region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men
say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
So they said, “Some say John
the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But
who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answered and
said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus answered and said to
him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not
revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you
that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail
against it.” And to all the true Apostles, Jesus said, “I will give you the
keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Then
Jesus and the twelve went up, and were Susanna's guests for many days.
How The
Bible Authors Changed The Statements Of Jesus Christ
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His
disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others
Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God.”
Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah,
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in
heaven. And I also say to you that
you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My
church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” And to all
the true apostles, Jesus said, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Understand By
Examination
The above two accounts shows you how religious leaders, bible authors, governments and leaderships, and your fellow human beings, do change what God said, without the general public knowing it. Examine these two statements:
1.
And your confession, the
Christ, is the cornerstone of faith, a rock of strength, and on this rock the
Church of Christ is built. And all the powers of darkness, Hades and death cannot prevail against
it.
2.
And I also say to
you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My
church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
For many past years, the Christians believed that Peter is the rock on
which the church is built. But the above two statements shows the following
facts:
1. Peter is not the
rock on which the church is built.
2. The first statement
said that Christ, the confession of Peter, the answer given by Peter, is the
rock and cornerstone.
3. Remember that the
church of God is not only the church here on earth. It includes all the Hosts
of Angels and Saints of Heaven in heavens, their prayers and worship, and
services and ministrations.
4. Jesus Christ is the
head of the head and foundation of the church; while Apostle Peter is the head
of the Christians only, and not the head of the Angels and Archangels.
5. The church of God
also includes the Holy Trinity, because the church is meaningless without the
Holy Trinity.
6. Number 1, of the
two above statements, proves and shows that it is Jesus that is the rock on
which the church is built. It is only Jesus that can bear and withstand all the
powers and Kingdoms of Heaven. He is the person with the final power and
authority, who can subdue all the powers of darkness.
7. You may say that
Peter has power in heaven and on earth. That is true. Also, Holy Moses and
Elijah have their own powers in heaven and on earth. On the last day, as the
Twelve Apostles shall stand to judge the world according to The Teachings Of
Jesus Christ, even so shall Holy Moses stand to join humanity according
The Books Of The Covenant Laws,
while Ancient Prophet Elijah shall stand to judge all humanity according to The Books Of The Prophets.
8. Also, the Angels
will stand with their books of testimonies, The Book Of Remembrance, to defend the
Saints, while the evil spirits and demons shall stand with their The Book Of Death and The Records Of Offences. In other
words, there are many courts to examine and approve the Saints or disapprove
and condemn the unrepentant sinners. The
Book Of Revelation makes this fact clear,
saying, “And I saw the dead, small and
great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened,
which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works,
by the things which were written in the books.”
9. Another reason to
show that Peter alone is not the rock of foundation of church is that the holy
book says that the new church, which is the New Jerusalem, shall have twelve
foundations stones. All the foundation stones are heavenly stones, because
earthly stones are not strong and perfect enough to serve as the heavenly
foundation stones. The twelve stones refer to various powers of the Holy
Spirit.
Lessons From The Above Records
1. The children of God
should develop their power of independent thinking. By so doing, they shall be
able to examine whatever they are being told, to know which is true or which is
false. Just believing everything you are told is not enough.
And it is a disgrace to be an ignorant believer.
2. The children of God
have to cultivate the habit of patient thinking, by observing quiet time and
meditation. In this way, they shall be able to inquire from God and follow the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
3. These two points
explain what Jesus meant when He said, “Pray and watch,” because He knew that
evil workers are going to make unauthorized changes to the holy scriptures and
corrupt the true Covenant System Of Worship established by God Almighty.
4. The powers to save
were given to The Twelve Apostles, and to all the specially anointed ministers
of God, just as Holy Moses led the obedient Israelites to salvation, and Noah
led the obedient seven into ark of salvation.
5. Even before the
above interrogations, Jesus had given the key, power and authority, to the
Apostles and Disciples. Hence, they were able to spread the Gospel of Truth and
Salvation, perform signs and wonders, effect deliverances and healings, and
deliver many from the kingdom of darkness.
The Rock Is Christ
Misinterpretations
For many years, the religious leaders and
ministers of God who are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy, have told you
humanity that Peter is the rock on which the church of God is built. They say
this because that is what they read from the forged bible, which is full of
lies and fabrications.
The
Truth
Jesus Christ never said that Peter is the rock.
Here is what Peter answered and what Jesus Christ said:
And Jesus asked, “Who do you think I am?”
And Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the love of God made manifest to men.”
And Jesus said, “Thrice blessed are you, Simon Peter, Jonas' son. You have declared a truth that God has given
to you. You are a rock, and you shall be a pillar in the temple of the Lord of
Hosts. And your
confession, the Christ, is the cornerstone of faith, a rock of strength, and on
this rock the Church of Christ is built. And all the powers of darkness, Hades and death cannot
prevail against it. (From
The Life And
Ministry Of Jesus Christ.)
In the above statement, Jesus Christ said Peter
is a rock and a pillar, which means that there are other rocks and pillars,
like Holy Enoch, who represents spiritual knowledge and wisdom; Abraham, who
represents the covenant; Holy Moses, who represents the laws; Prophet Elijah,
who represents prophecy; The Twelve Apostles, who represents the teachings of
Jesus Christ; even the archangels and angels, who represents the kingdom of God
and are the ministering spirits.
Forgery
Here is how the bible
authors changed the statements of Jesus Christ:
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God.”
Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah,
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in
heaven. And I also say to you that you
are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (From The
Life And Ministry Of Jesus Christ.)
True Explanations
In the above tow
records, you discover that what was published for humanity to read is no longer
what Jesus Christ actually said.
Jesus Christ said and
made it clear that:
1.
Himself, the Messiah, is the rock and the foundation stone.
2.
On this rock, Christ, shall
the church be built.
3.
The kingdom of darkness
cannot prevail against this rock.
Confirmations
1.
The church of God is not only
the humanity here on earth. It includes Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven,
because the heavens and the earth are one.
2.
All records of the Holy
Scriptures show that the only person who has power and authority in heaven and
on earth is Jesus Christ, and not Peter.
3.
The kingdom of darkness
includes all the forces of darkness = evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts,
witches, idols, charms and black energies; and the various powers of darkness.
4.
Many of these forces of
darkness and powers of darkness are the fallen archangels and angels, as well
as the many demonic kingdoms, marine kingdoms, cultic kingdoms, etc, which an ordinary human being cannot withstand. Only
Jesus Christ has power over all these kingdoms, because Jesus Christ is God
Almighty and because Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour.
5.
The church of God includes
the numerous Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven. No human being has power to
control all these numerous hosts. Only Jesus Christ can do so, by the radiant
powers from His body. That is on of the reasons why
the body of Jesus Christ shines, as radiant as the sun, and even brighter than
the sunlight.
Why Selective
Teaching Is Necessary
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, why did Jesus Christ perform glorious works by the powers of the Holy Spirit, and said that the works should not be announced to the world?
Until now that Himself has come for the second time, and is saying, “Publish, spread, all the teachings to all the ends of the earth.”?
That Himself has arrived for the second time?
Son of man, why?
You read here that when He showed us that He is the Christ, He said that we should not tell anybody. But nowadays, He says that we should tell people.
What does that show?
The Head: Number 1, the time has come when everybody shall know.
Number 2, so that whoever that wants to believe will believe, and whoever that does not want to beloved will not believe.
Number 3, those who do not believe are dragging themselves backwards, even so without knowing it. And the ship of salvation shall leave them behind.
Number 4, during His first coming, some of his teachings and revelations, were for the Apostles only. Others teachings were for the Apostles, Disciples and Saints. And yet, some other teachings were for the multitudes and public.
Number 5, some of the teachings, corrections, messages and warnings given by Him then were for the coming generations. Just as many teachings and revelations now are being documented either for the present generations or for the future generations.
Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well.
Chukwudi: Number 6, at that time, it was not yet time for humanity to know. It was necessary to avoid the hypocrites: Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes and roman soldiers; and to avoid killing Jesus Christ before the appointed time. And because it was not yet time for the truth to be made manifest.
The Head: Number 7, on many occasions, when Jesus Christ said do not tell people, it means that those people were not yet ready to know. Even now, it is not all the teachings are being given to the people. It is only those people who are ready and willing to know that are being told. All the others, who are not ready to know, and who have not grown up to know, are not being told. Even of you tell them, they will not believe it and will not work with the knowledge.
Number 8, but everybody who knows, or accepts with purity of heart is being told and made to know in perfection, completeness.
For example, to some people, I say, I am Raphael Okechukwu Nweze.
To others, I say, I am a minister of God.
To the ignorant believers, I say, Jesus Christ said this and that.
And to those who are ready to know and believe, I say, myself is the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, in His second coming.
Apostle Matthew: Number 9, son of man, the secret plans of God are for those who love and obey Him. The Holy Spirit and all His teachings are for the children of God only, who do what God wants. As myself said a long time ago, about the ministers of God, members and the ordinary people. The teachings for the above sets of people are not the same. Even so it was during our time. This is because some teachings are given to some people, in vain, because they are not qualified to receive the teachings. They are not yet grown up in spirit.
Many of the words which Jesus Christ told us were for the apostles, because He had given us the Holy Spirit, and the power with which we shall do the works. And Himself knew that it was when He concludes work that ourselves shall start work. Son of man, it is what a person has, it is by that that he excels others (Nke onye ji, ka o ji karisia).
Number 10, also many of the words which Jesus Christ said and wanted to be sealed then, the time for word had not yet come. And the Holy Spirit who shall use the word to do work had not yet come. The Angels were still making preparations for the work.
Number 11, you may say that He told us not to tell people that He is the Christ, but many people already know. Even when He was being crucified, people knew. That was why they said, “You said that you are the Christ.”
But it is in this age that the truth shall be made radiant. That was why He did not want many nations to know then. Even if they had known they would have thrown it away and would not have done anything with it. But now, in these present and modern generations, anybody that hears it will value it.
