By Femi Aribisala The scriptures say the whole earth is filled with the glory of God. So how come most people cannot see it? How come men could not see the glory of God in Jesus Christ? They could not because Jesus is the quintessential spiritual man. The same applies to the New Creation. The…

How can a man be righteous? (2) – Femi Aribisala
By Femi Aribisala Paul presents Adam as the father of sin: “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin.” (Romans 5:12). However, Jesus says different.

Pastors are Jesus killers – Aribisala
By Femi Aribisala The presumed principal custodians of our faith; the pastors, bishops and popes of our churches, are ungodly and unrighteous. Christians are told lies so repeatedly; many no longer recognise the truth. Answer me this: did your pastor happen to mention that Jesus was killed by pastors? Not likely! Pastors don’t want people…
