In this Work, I am responding to Phillip Anthony Mitchell in https://youtube.com/shorts/xCf_dupixs8?si=WZjCtn-hcBwcmAsr. I shall be writing in the second Person, that is, directly to him.

 

‘Confidence in Ignorance’© in the ‘Certainty of Consensual Validation’©

 

You speak confidently of what you have no first hand physical Experience when you talk of Jesus the Christ, Phillip Anthony Mitchell. This Assertiveness with which you talk of Matter(s) not of your personal Observation  has Credence only among those with whom you are in “consensual validation” of the Judaeo-Christian Religion. However, you need to understand that as your Religion is important to you so are the Religions of other Persons worthy to them. I was especially pushed to respond to your wild Claim that “Allah” is not “Yahweh.” Before I proceed on exploring your Disorientation with “Allah,” and “Yahweh,”  please let me ask you some Questions. (1) Do you read the Old Testament of the Bible? (2) If you do read the Old Testament of the Bible, do you believe it embodies the Words of Yahweh? (3) If you believe the Old Testament of the Bible contains the Words of Jehovah, how do you understand Jeremiah 31: 31-34? Please, consult the earlier Bibles to the ‘King James Version’ (KJV), including the KJV itself.  Now, I wish you to tell me your Understanding of Jeremiah 31: 31-34, and convince me how being a Pastor you are not interfering with Yahweh's “new covenant.” By the Way, do you understand what is meant by "new covenant?" It is advisable for you to note that the Force of your personal Conviction cannot bully the well-educated and who are also quite intellectual to accept your Regurgitation of the Bible.

 

Allah and Yahweh: what is the Difference?

 

I knew an Islamic Leader once in Lagos, Nigeria, by Name of Amouda Sheriff, please forgive me if I got his Names wrong in case anyone else knows who I will be talking about. It has been Scores of Years since I departed Nigeria, so it would not be extraordinary if I forgot Names, and such Things. His Ministry's Colours were red and white. His Headquarters Mosque was in front of our House. He is Yoruba, if he is still alive, and I think he came originally from Ibadan long before my encountering him. My Father was not living with us, and I was surprised one Day when on one of my Father's Visits to us, this Islamic Leader and he, greeted familiarly. You could observe the 'shared Respect'© and Fondness between the two. He deferred to my Father's Age. He kept asking my Father; “so this your Son, this is your Son?” You see, Alfa Sheriff and I always talked. You know why? He knew the Bible like the Back of his Hand, and that simply impressed me. I knew the Bible too, as I was reading it to challenge the Judaeo-Christians harassing my Life at the Office, and at Home. I would have been in my very late Teens at the time or just about 20 Years old. So, when I arrived in the West, I found another like him in Minister Louis Farrakhan. Preacher Sheriff did not have Western Education. My Father met him when he first started out preaching walking the Streets with a Sword on his Waist with which he dared Unbelievers to hurt him so he could show that he was truly sent by Allah. My Father, Western educated – and suspiciously Islamic educated too, as his Parents were Muslim – admired him greatly. You realised very quickly that Alfa Amouda Sheriff loved my Father. Alfa Sheriff was hounded in those Days by the Authorities, my Father said, and My Father was Police, and was already ranking when I was born in the 50s. So, my Father must have regularly intervened on his Behalf. No, no. I am not religious in the least. I believe in the Almighty Creator though.

 

What is my Point, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, in telling you the Story of Islamic Leaders who understand the Bible as well as any Judaeo-Christian Leader (or perhaps even better)? It is to ask you not to talk about other Religions if you know little or nothing about them. Religion is not Belief in Yahweh (so-called God) itself, but only a Pathway to Yahweh. If you know just a little about Islam, you will know that Jesus is a Prophet in Islam. If you know just the tiniest Bit about Islam, you will also understand that "Allah" is Arabic for Yahweh. Allah and Yahweh are the same Entity in different Languages. It is evident you have never read the Qur’an or learnt Lessons from it otherwise I would not need to tell you here those simple Things I just did. Now, you should understand my Story about Alfa/Preacher Sheriff, and his Counterpart in Minister Farrakhan. Try to know the other Religion before you talk about it. I have Copies of the Qur'an, and more Copies of the Bible. I have read the ‘Jehovah’s Witness’ Bible as well as the ‘Joseph Smith’s’ Bible; ‘The Book of Mormon’. I have the ‘First Book of Maccabees’, but missed out on the second Book. The Qur'an is difficult for me to fully grasp because I do not read Arabic (or speak it), but I have read it enough to know that it might as well be the Bible in a different Format. Different Languages have their Names for Yahweh. If you believe there is “God,” you are either an Hypocrite for questioning “Allah,” as a Name for Jehovah or you are simply “pathetically uneducated” not to know that “God” came from the capitalization of the ‘g’ in the Germanic Pagan “god.”

 

As a Matter of Fact

 

Jesus the Christ has three resounding Attributes, which make his Existence believable, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, but you actually do not have any hard Evidence of the Authenticity of those Attributes except your Faith. None of you Judaeo-Christians, and Muslims have any hard Evidence. These Attributes are (i) he was born of Virgin Birth, (ii) he performed the Miracles of turning Water into Wine, multiplying “seven loaves ... and ... few small fishes [to feed]  about four thousand,” (Mark 8:  5-9), healing the sick, and bringing back to Life the dead, and (iii) he died – killed actually – and resurrected. Please, note that Mark is the first Book of the New Testament in historical Order, but second in chronological Order in the Bible. The historical Order is self-evident to anyone who can read, and decipher what they read, besides being widely accepted amongst highly educated Judaeo-Christian Theology Scholars. 

 

(I)                  Virgin Birth: almost 200 Years before the Birth of Jesus the Christ, the god “Attis” of the Cybele Cult in Rome was worshipped of being born by Virgin Birth. So, if indeed, Jesus the Christ really existed, he would not have been the first to be born of Virgin Birth.

 

(II)                Performing Miracles: I have no Evidence to affirm this or contradict it. However, these Feats are commonized by our Modern Day Pastors, especially “African” Pastors, who perform Miracles similar to those Jesus the Christ carried out. It is noteworthy that these Pastors share the same racial Identity as Jesus the Christ.

 

(III)              Death and Resurrection: almost 200 Years before the Birth of Jesus the Christ, the same god “Attis” of the Cybele Cult in Rome, born of Virgin Birth, was said to have died every year to be reborn again and again. So, with this Story in Mind, there was a god resurrecting Hundreds of Years before Jesus the Christ was even born.

 

So, tell me, how do you believe the Story of Jesus the Christ, but not that of Attis? Do you accept the Jesus the Christ Story because it is contained in your Bible that we know is not honest or your trusting of the Story is founded basically on your Faith? We know the Bible is not veracious, as the Catholic Bible has more Books in it than the popularly distributed Versions. We also know that the Compilation of the Books of the Bible emerged from the First Council of Nicaea ca 325 C.E., and that this assembling came about from the Majority of the Bishops convened with the two dissenting Voices ex-communicated. Seriously, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, do you know the History of your Judaeo-Christian Religion, at all?

 

Reflections

 

I have claimed above that I believe in the Almighty. This is as much a Question of Faith in personal Belief than anything else. There is much Evidence to discount the Existence of an Almighty than to sustain it. Belief in Yahweh is actually a ‘selfish Enterprise’©. When those of us who say we believe in the Almighty give Testimonies, these Testimonies are always about what the Almighty has done for us, the Individuals, but never for another Person for whom we have asked the Almighty to intervene, if at all, we are even that selfless. When our Pastors pray, they pray for our Congregations, and they pray substantially for personal Wealth. Really?

 

What does the Bible tell you about Yahweh, and the World, Phillip Anthony Mitchell? It tells you of a “chosen people.” Whoever the “chosen people” were, the least intelligent Person would know that there were other Peoples around even if the Bible had not told us about those other Peoples. That least intelligent Person would also recognize that an Almighty that created so many diverse Peoples, but chose to love one People above the other Peoples cannot possibly be of good Character. It is a ‘stained Disposition’©. The important Lesson to pull out of the Story of a “chosen people” is that Belief in Yahweh or Jehovah through the Bible is from the Narration of a particular People telling their religious socio-political History. Their Belief in Yahweh/Jehovah as the Almighty was their Explanation for their very Existence. It was much founded on Superstition then, as it is today.

 

If, indeed, there existed a “chosen people,” where are they today? Serious Scholars know that the Story of the Bible is a Story of Religions not Peoples. The “Jew” in the Bible was not a “Race Attribution” (racial), but a Description of the Practitioner of the Religion of Judaism represented, in part, by the Old Testament.  One could argue that the first Jews - practitioners of Judaism (the Jewish Faith) - were the Ethiopians. We know, so far, that the earliest, and thus, the most ancient, attestation of the Jews was in Kmt (transliterated by the Greeks to Egypt). One was in Aswani  (Today’s ‘Aswan’) around the First Cataract between Upper Kmt (Southern Egypt) and the region of Ethiopia circa the 5th Century BCE. Intervening Kmt and Ethiopia around the First Cataract was ancient Nubia (present Day Sudan, and Eritrea). It is most likely that the Nubians were the first Jews. It is also conceivable that the Nubians were the same as Ethiopians. It could equally be the case that the Nubians were the initial Jews but were absorbed by the Ethiopians, and who had carried on the ‘Jewish Worship Tradition’©. Importantly, it could simply be that the translation of the word "Ethiopian", as used by Herodotus – Grecian (Greek) Historian some 500 Years before Jesus the Christ – was mistaken by translators for a specific people rather than the generic Grecian description of the African. Who knows? The attestation of 'Jews' in Aswani would accord with the period in the Bible of friendliness between Egyptians and the "people of Israel". The other attestation of the 'Jews' in ancient times was in Raqote circa the 1st Century BCE. This second sighting and citing would square with the Bible narrative of the "people of Israel" in captivity in Egypt. Raqote in Lower Kmt (Northern Egypt) was transliterated by the Greeks to Rhakotis and it is today known as Alexandria, including Elephantine. This is the last time we know of the Presence of the Jews  from where the Bible invented the Story of their crossing the Red Sea, but to where, we have no Evidence except the Narrative of Suspension of Disbelief.

 

It is also in Raqote that we have Attestation of a Judaeo-Christian Church circa 181 CE. Whether this church was the first Judaeo-Christian Church in the World, we do not know. However, there is no Evidence, at least to my Understanding, that any Church in Europe or Asia Minor superseded it, that is, came before it. The principle of the Raqote Church founded the Roman Catholic Church circa 325 CE during the reign of Constantine I/Constantine the Great as sole Emperor of Rome (Eastern & Western Rome). Do the simple Arithmetic.

 

Who knows

 

From about Age 9 to certainly Age 31, I did not believe in any Almighty. I was not agreeable because I could not separate Religion from the Belief in the Almighty. I was not attending Church unless forced to, which my boarding House Secondary School did. I never enjoyed those Services together with the alternate Sunday Services we had in-house in our dining Hall. I just could not wait to get to the senior Classes when I could do what I damned well please. This Almighty is called ‘Oshomoshi’ in the Language spoken by the People where my Family Tree settled in the Midwestern Region of the UK ‘colonial Enclave’© of the ‘arbitrary Collection of Peoples’© that would become “Nigeria” in the Part today sectioned to Edo State. I do not know the Origin of the Language, but a younger Brother of mine, well educated with a Master’s, apprised me he had come across a People in the North of Nigeria who speak exactly the same Language. That my Family Tree is from the North of the Territory UK Imperialism would conjure, and name “Nigeria” has never eluded me because my Father always told me we are Nupe. As the Family Tree Name is ‘dan Iyan’; we could not be other than Fulani. For a long while I used ‘Soko’ for ‘Oshomoshi’, as I believed that it is the Nupe Word for Yahweh. Are you paying Attention, Phillip Anthony Mitchell? Imagine you telling my Family Members who are Judaeo-Christians, as yourself – my Father converted, so did almost all his Family Tree Members – that because they say ‘Oshomoshi’, instead of ‘Yahweh’ or your European Pagan ‘God’, they are committing a great Sin.

 

I dumped Religion at Age 31 because at that Time I had understood that Religion does not equate to Belief in the Almighty, but I still was not sure about the Creationism Thing. Then at around Age 44, I fell prey to Judaeo-Christian brainwashing, and was so sunk in the “pitfall Trap,” but was only for about a Year; Religion was not my Thing. I was always questioning. About three Years later, I got into an unfortunate Entanglement with a Judaeo-Christian who was taking me everywhere, Judaeo-Christian, and not. This time I had become arrogant, deluding myself with ‘hallucinatory Confidence’©; ‘why not? I deceived myself; I could be a “Participant Observant,” I am a Social Scientist’, after all. Idiot; you do not do “Participant Observation” with Religionists; they browbeat you into Docility. I think I was about 54 Years of Age when I finally dusted Religion. Some three Years later, at about Age 57, I had written Triangulating God: the church, tithe and worship, 2014, Amazon, identifying ‘Evolutionism’ as a Theory of the ‘Creationism Paradigm’©. Definitely ‘bye, bye, Religion’, and “ultimate Reconciliation” with my Superstition of the Existence of an Almighty Creator. I believe in an Almighty because I have no other Explanation of, and for my being.

 

Or, is it really that I am my (own) Allah, Oshomoshi, Yahweh, as you all are? That the Limit of achieving my Desires in Life is as much as the Extent of my Daring, your Darings? Look at it objectively; if truly there is a “universal God,” as you Religionists believe, is this Entity so cruel that s/he would impose Felons such as Donald J Trump Sr, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Rulers of any Human Population? Truly, a benevolent ‘universal Creator ‘© would not elevate Persons whose Stocks in Trade are ‘challenged cognitive complexity’©, Dishonesty, Inadequate Education or none, Incompetence, Vindictiveness, Wickedness, et cetera over the innumerable with superior Qualities in the same Populations. Read your Bible again, and point to me any Part of it that tells you of any Person in Ascendancy with inferior Quantities. There are Loads of awful Bipedals in the World, today. I call them ‘Bipedals” because I find it hard to acknowledge them as Human. I have come across a Number. What kind of universal Yahweh allows these Things to continue wreaking Havoc on the World? If you are smart enough, you should tell me these Unpleasantries must sin ‘more than “seventy times seven” times since Jesus Christ said to the Person to forgive another Person “seventy times seven”’ (Matthew 18:22). Do you know how many times those would be, and how long it would take to get there, Phillip Anthony Mitchell? 490 times, and would take more than a Lifetime. A Person can offend another throughout their Lifetimes. For Jehovah, do you know what that would mean? Eternity. So, when does Repentance happen? Where is the ‘Fairness’ to the Person continuously breached? Are you sure, Jesus the Christ said such Nonsense? No, Jesus the Christ could not have said it. It was Matthew’s ‘unbridled Imagination’© Remember, that Rubbish of “seventy times seven” is not in Mark, the historical first Narrator of the New Testament? It is evident, is it not, why the Compilers of the New Testament jumped Matthew to the leading Book? It was to give Credibility to his Propaganda, and infect Judaeo-Christians with his ‘contorted Rationality’©. If he is the first Book, he has to be the original Witness, yes? Usually, the Bible is pumped into the Person from early Age, even as early as the “egocentric stage” of “cognitive development,” and progressively into Adulthood. This is what Sigmund Fraud would call ‘imprinting.’  If an Adult volunteers to be introduced to the Bible and/or be “born again,” it is clear Indication that Adult is suggestible, and there is no Way on Earth you can make either the imprinted Person or suggestible Person recognise the Errancy of the Bible. If you wish to understand fully my Treatment of ‘imprinting’, read my Work ‘Triangulating God ...’ afore-mentioned.

 

Ask yourself, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, why do supposed “Men of God” and “Women of God;” the Alfas, Arch-Bishops, Bishops, Evangelists, Pastors, Preachers, Prophets, Reverends fall ill, and terribly so and/or die? Why does this universal Yahweh not leave them alive and untouched by illness as enduring Confirmation of its Existence? After all, they call Themselves its Messengers. Listen, if you do not find it ludicrous, I conclude it completely absurd the Pope is elected, and the Archbishop of Canterbury appointed. Show me anywhere in your Bible where a religious Leader was elected or appointed other than by Anointment by Yahweh or choosing by Jesus the Christ. You modern Day Religionists are simply taking your Congregations for Rides.

 

So, who does truly know the Reality of a universal Jehovah? Who can testify with physical non-personal “immutable Evidence” of such Existence? So, Moi, Ipemndoh dan Iyan, accepts the Almighty endures in my ‘Superstition of the transcendental’© as long as my very Continuity is guided by that fundamental inalienable Right of ‘Fairness’, which is the Logic of “do onto Others as you wish done onto you,” articulated 500 Years prior to when your Bible claims Jesus the Christ instructed it. It was enunciated by Zi, a Student of Confucius interpreting Confucius in the Lecture Sitting. Confucius, himself, never said it as plainly. ‘Fairness’ is transactional; you do onto me, I do onto you, bad or good. ‘Fairness’ is my saving Grace inasmuch as I do not initiate Negativity against another. The Almighty Creator would expect that kind of Grace from one Person to another. This has to be the right Way, the only Way; ‘send no Evil, receive no Evil’©.
