Professor of Christian theology in University of Ilorin, Pius Oyeniran Abioje, has dismissed the agelong Biblical claim that Jesus Christ died to save the world.
Speaking while delivering the 167th Inaugural Lecture of the university, entitled, ‘Christian Prophets and Other Prophets in Nigeria’, the professor said Jesus Christ was killed by haters of truth. Abioje, who noted that critical prophets should anticipate opposition and conspiracy from unexpected quarters, said: “The conspiracy that killed Jesus Christ came from the millieu of the chief priest and the political elite.
“Regrettably,the interpretations by many Christians is that God wanted Jesus to die so as to save the world. Yet the world continues to persecute innocent critical prophets. “Why cannot Christians emphasise that Jesus was killed by haters of truth,the religio-political powers that be,particularly since the world is still seeking redemption? “Nigerians should learn to see critical prophets as friends of the society,and pardon them whenever they happen to err,since no human being is infallible.”
The professor asked the people in positions of authority to learn to see critical prophets as partners in progress towards human edification,not as adversaries. The university don also admonished: “Divinatory/esoteric prophets should avoid fraudulence.” They should see their divinatory knowledge as divine endowment to be used altruistically and not for exploitation.
“People who consult esoteric prophets should be discerning and not gullible. “ They should avoid frequent recourse to divinatory prophecy to avoid mediumistic psychosis” Abioje also urged Nigerians to strive to become critical prophets to speak against evil on behalf of God and try to live holy lives.
He however advised: “Academic p rogrammes generally should include introduction to critical prophecy,which makes a person to be committed to advocacy in godly words and actions,even as medical doctors,engineers,architects,lawyers and so on and not only as clergy men and women, Virtues for which critical prophets strive is unarguably the key to individual and social progress,even when truth can be very bitter.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

When Jesus said "women weep for for your children"... It's people like this he was referring to
ReplyDeleteI believe that he die to save the world and another thing about it.
ReplyDeleteYou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free, Jesus was wounded for the world transgressions, He died that the world may have life in abundant. My prayer is that God in mercy will prove to professor and every audience under the lecture that Jesus died for the world and He is only saviour of the world. People of God beware of heresies and false teachers.
ReplyDeleteIf you're really a professor of Christian Theology, you must have been a dull student cause you certainly missed all the facts. It will not be a bad idea if you went back and started afresh. It's better late than never.
ReplyDeleteProfessor of doom
ReplyDeleteA professor of doom. You can only be a professor at University of Islam ilorin and I believe the Islamic religion in that university has robbed you o you common and intellectual senses. I recommend you go to Basic certificate course and leadership certificate course of the Word of Faith Bible School,the arm of LFC worldwide so as to be trained. Your PHD is a waste
ReplyDeleteIts now i know that a professor can be illiterate. just like one Anonymous said, i join him to advice you to enroll into foundation class in any Bible believing churches around. or better still enroll into catechism class next session in any catholic churches near to you.
ReplyDeletePius Oyeniran Abioje, you are a true representative of your father- Satan. You have actually spoken his mind because he is a hater of Christ and you have just demonstrated the same trait. If you refuse to repent the same doom awaiting Satan awaits you.
ReplyDeleteIlliterate Professor. Your submission is indicative of what was said in Psalm 'a fool has said in his heart, there is no God.' I pity your shallow understanding of the scriptures.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe this comment is credited to a professor of christian...If truly it is,then your certificate of professorship needs to be withdrawn...Before Jesus was born there were professes from Prophet Isaiah that a child will be borne and he will be the saviour of the world. God reconcile men to himself through the death of his only begotten son who is Jesus Christ.
