A Theosophical Treatise for Mature Minds who Desire Freedom

Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, the Vessel of the Holy Spirit


PROLOGUE:

Are you a congenital liar? If you are, then read and re-read this write-up and save yourself! I have always been fascinated by the words of King Solomon, the Wise, right from my primary school years back in the early fifties. But as a secondary school student I could not decipher what he really meant by "No one can straighten out what God has made crooked". To date, many of my friends are confused with that affirmation, more so, when you counterpoise it with the Christian doctrine of repentance and/or the " born-again" syndrome of current Pentecostalism! Which, do you believe?

Could Cain avoid murdering Abel, his only brother? Was Abram really blessed with the riches he deceptively acquired as dowry by renting out his beautiful wife to a heathen king?  Did Jacob have an alternative to stealing his elder brother's birthright and the blessings for a firstborn? If Joseph was not sold to the traders that took him to Egypt, could he have become the second in command to Pharaoh? Was the subsequent four hundred years slavery of the Israelites pre-ordained so that Moses would be their leader through whom the Ten Commandments came our way? Could Jesus have saved humanity by any other method besides the miscarriage of justice by Pontus Pilate, his bloody stripes, his humiliating carrying of the wooden cross all the way to Golgotha and his crucifixion at Calvary? Had Judas Iscariot any option to the role of a betrayer, which ensured that the right Jew was the one arrested?

From my teenage years in the early 1950s, many such obsessive, absurd and curious thoughts coursed through my mind and persistently chased each other that at a time I needed pastoral counselling in Onitsha and spiritual guidance in Enugu. Later, during my university years at Lagos, I had to benefit from the services of  both a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist! All my relations, friends, aides and consultants were perplexed with the type of probing questions I posed. Their answers never satisfied my inquisitive mind. I had more questions than their answers! Some gave up on me! Others simply labelled me, HAMLET, the Prince of Denmark as popularised by the Shakespearean Plays we learnt in our Higher School years at Christ the King College, Onitsha!
So, my reader, can anyone straighten out what God has made crooked?

SUNSHINE AT NOON

At the turn of the second millennium, shortly after I turned fifty, the answers to my perplexing queries came, tumbling down like a deluge preceded by a thunderstorm! I can now sing "I can see clearly now the rain is gone! I can see all obstacles in my way! There is the rainbow that I have been waiting for! Now, I can smile,.. smile,… for the sunny days ahead!" Today, my estranged relatives and friends who called me names surround me to hear the explanations of knotty verses in the Bible, expatiations of  some theosophical concepts that defeated us in philosophy classes and the solutions or unravelling of esoteric mazes!
Let us begin at the beginning! Who was the Father of Cain & Abel?

This is the greatest revelation I have ever had since my twenty five years walk with the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of  this our earthly universe. The book of Chronicles, the official record of the nation of Israel to date, states it very clearly. Jesus affirms it and his cousin Jude, the apostle, confirms it in his brief ‘one-chapter-epistle'! The second is the revelation by Jesus, the Christ, who in the gospel of John 8:42 - 47, points out that there are two species of humankind; sons of God, his own Father and the sons of Satan, the devil, Cain's father!

I do not claim any credits to these revelations. I was just lucky that my obstinacy rejected the fabricated theology course I was supposed to pass through if had to achieve my erstwhile vocation to the Roman Catholic priesthood in the early 1970s! Today, I am only a humble vessel of the Holy Spirit of God, being used to transmit existential  answers to humanity. All who deserve salvific freedom are welcome !

Many theologians and Bible scholars have always refrained from telling the whole truth about the import of placing the genealogy of Cain in chapter 4 of Genesis and that of Adam in chapter 5. I do not share the opinion that they did not or do not know the implications, rather they have joined the early Roman Church Fathers in being economical with the truth! They have all indulged in fabricating doctrines and dogmas that enslaved many Christians by telling us half-truths! The Book of Chronicles, which remains the only official and authentic record of the ancestry of Israelites to date deposited in unambiguous terms, the genealogy of the ‘supposedly first human' Adam, thus:

1 Chronicles 1: 1-3
1:1 Adam, Seth, Enosh,
2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared,
3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.
(from the New International Version.  Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, by International Bible Society)

Enoch is the seventh from Adam, isn't he? This nails the coffin on the erroneous assumption that both Cain and Abel were Adam's sons. Their names are absent, aren't they? Let us revisit the epistle of Jude;

Jude 14-16
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
15 to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him"
16 These men are grumblers and fault-finders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
(from the New International Version.  Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, by International Bible Society)

In Kenezianism, we do not hold briefs for dishonest scholars! We tell the truth as it is and damn the consequences! Cain was not and could never have been the biological son of Adam. Genesis 5 vv. 1 - 5 is clear on this. Adam's gonads matured at 130 years and he had a son ‘in his likeness, in his own image'! The double emphasis can only allude to one fact!  At last; here is the first biological son of Adam. Moreover,  whereas it was Eve who named both Cain and Abel, (see the relevant verses in chapters 2 - 4, all the versions of the Bible are unanimous and clear in this one; Adam, for the first time, named Seth by himself!

Gen 5:1-5
5:1 This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man".
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.
(from the New International Version.  Copyright (c) 1973, 1978, 1984, by International Bible Society)

See the list of his descendants. The age at which each gave birth to a first son were meticulously chronicled. Other sons and daughters were never listed. What do you think was the reason why the author did so?

Gen 5:5-32
5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.
6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh.
7 And after he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
8 Altogether, Seth lived 912 years, and then he died.
9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.
10 And after he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.
11 Altogether, Enosh lived 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel.
13 And after he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters.
14 Altogether, Kenan lived 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared.
16 And after he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters.
17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch.
19 And after he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 Altogether, Jared lived 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.
22 And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
23 Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years.
24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
26 And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
27 Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son.
29 He named him Noah and said, "He will comfort us in the labour and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed."
30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters.
31 Altogether, Lamech lived 777 years, and then he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Luckily for us the Holy Spirit has preserved for us one Bible Scholar who comments fully on the significance of the sainthood of Enoch, the seventh from Adam, and the first to please God so well that he was the first to be taken to heaven!  Elijah and Jesus only followed later!

Gen 5:21-24
Translation of Enoch
from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible
The accounts here run on for several generations without any thing remarkable, or any variation but of the names and numbers; but at length there comes in one that must not be passed over so, of whom special notice must be taken, and that is Enoch, the seventh from Adam: the rest, we may suppose, did virtuously, but he excelled them all, and was the brightest star of the patriarchal age. It is but little that is recorded concerning him; but this little is enough to make his name great, greater than the name of the other Enoch, who had a city called by his name. Here are two things concerning him:-
I. His gracious conversation in this world, which is twice spoken of: Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah (v. 22), and again, Enoch walked with God, v. 24. Observe,
1. The nature of his religion and the scope and tenor of his conversation: he walked with God, which denotes,
(1.) True religion; what is godliness, but walking with God? The ungodly and profane are without God in the world, they walk contrary to him: but the godly walk with God, which presupposes reconciliation to God, for two cannot walk together except they be agreed (Amos 3:3), and includes all the parts and instances of a godly, righteous, and sober life. To walk with God is to set God always before us, and to act as those that are always under his eye. It is to live a life of communion with God both in ordinances and providences. It is to make God's word our rule and his glory our end in all our actions. It is to make it our constant care and endeavour in every thing to please God, and nothing to offend him. It is to comply with his will, to concur with his designs, and to be workers together with him. It is to be followers of him as dear children.
(2.) Eminent religion. He was entirely dead to this world, and did not only walk after God, as all good men do, but he walked with God, as if he were in heaven already. He lived above the rate, not only of other men, but of other saints: not only good in bad times, but the best in good times.
(3.) Activity in promoting religion among others. Executing the priest's office is called walking before God, 1 Sam 2:30,35, and see Zech 3:7. Enoch, it should seem, was a priest of the most high God, and like Noah, who is likewise said to walk with God, he was a preacher of righteousness, and prophesied of Christ's second coming. Jude 14, Behold, the Lord cometh with his holy myriads. Now the Holy Spirit, instead of saying, Enoch lived, says, Enoch walked with God; for it is the life of a good man to walk with God. This was,
[1.] The business of Enoch's life, his constant care and work; while others lived to themselves and the world, he lived to God.
[2.] It was the joy and support of his life. Communion with God was to him better than life itself. To me to live is Christ, Phil 1:21.
2. The date of his religion. It is said (v. 21), he lived sixty-five years, and begat Methuselah; but (v. 22) he walked with God after he begat Methuselah, which intimates that he did not begin to be eminent for piety till about that time; at first he walked but as other men. Great saints arrive at their eminence by degrees.
3. The continuance of his religion: he walked with God three hundred years, as long as he continued in this world. The hypocrite will not pray always; but the real saint that acts from a principle, and makes religion his choice, will persevere to the end, and walk with God while he lives, as one that hopes to live for ever with him, Ps 104:33.
II. His glorious removal to a better world. As he did not live like the rest, so he did not die like the rest (v. 24): He was not, for God took him; that is, as it is explained (Heb 11:5), He was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him.

Now, re-read the genealogy of Jesus by Luke, which he traced all the way back to the first man; Adam. Where is the name of Cain?
Compare and contrast the narratives in Luke 3: 23 -38 in three versions of the Christian Bible to authenticate all that is alluded to in this all-inclusive theosophical dissertation about Adama, Eve, Cain and Seth!

Finally, the Lord and Master of Christianity that we practise to date stated it in unambiguous terms in Chapter 8 of the gospel of John, yet they still persist in hiding the truth from us! Why? it is because they are also sons of the devil through their great grandfather, Cain! They, too, cannot tell the truth. It is not in their nature to do so! They do not want us to be set free. They have invaded the church like Christ predicted when he made Peter the head of his institution! Some have even become Popes and Cardinals! Come with me and see for yourselves!

John 8:21-9:1
21 Once more Jesus said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 This made the Jews ask, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"
23 But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am [the one I claim to be], you will indeed die in your sins."
25 "Who are you?" they asked. "Just what I have been claiming all along," Jesus replied.
26 "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is reliable, and what I have heard from him I tell the world."
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [the one I claim to be] and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."
30 Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"
34 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it for ever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word.
38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father."
39 "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did.
40 As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.
41 You are doing the things your own father does".  "We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."
42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.
43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
48 The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"
49 "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.
50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
51 I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
52 At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?"
54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.
55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"
58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

You must remember that Jesus was discussing with his blood relatives, the authentic Jews of his time. Re-read the underlined sentences to comprehend his line of reasoning which ultimately proved that they were not genuine sons of Abraham! If they were, they would love him and believe his teaching. But, the reason they always challenged him and finally nailed him to the cross is clear in verse 47! Re-Read it now!
Finally, you must  read Chapters 4 and 5 of Genesis in KJV, RSV AND GNB editions and tell me of any qualified historian who would or will enumerate the descendants of a ‘supposed son' before that of his ‘supposed father' and later the son's name is missing in the genealogy of his ‘supposed father'!

It is impossible! Then read the mind of the historian! Ask yourself; what does the chronicler/historian actually mean by this narrative?
The chronicler is only telling you that Adam was not the biological father of Cain by so doing. In addition, it was Eve that named both Cain and Abel, not Adam! It was Seth he named! If you are endowed with native intelligence, all these references allude to one and only one fact; Adam's first son is Seth, not Cain.

Q.E.D meaning ‘Quod Erat Demostradum'; conclusively proven!

If you did not know that Satan is a bona-fide prince that attends the heavenly court , read Job 1: 6 -12 and then Job 2: 1 - 10. Now, learn this: Satan used Job's wife to get him to curse God. My dear reader, never underestimate the power or intelligence of the devil! You must be prepared to defeat him as Jesus at the beginning of his ministry! To date, he is still very much around and uses his sons and daughters to tempt us. Fore-warned, they say, is fore-armed. Think about it! Next, if you so naïve to take ‘the forbidden fruit' in Genesis 3 literally, I do not blame you! You are a victim of early indoctrination. You are still a child at catechism classes repeating what you have been taught to memorise like a parrot! Wake up my friend! Read Genesis 6: 1 - 7 and understand what went on between Satan and Eve! Good Morning! It is a new day in your journey as a pilgrim on earth! God set up a test for all the heavenly beings by putting a naked, young and beautiful woman with succulent breasts perambulating the Garden of Eden. Lucifer, we are told was the most handsome being at the time, but he could not resist his erotic urges. He lied to Eve, seduced her and had carnal knowledge of her! That is the forbidden fruit! To date, his descendants, male and females still do the same! Be warned; See John 8, verse 44 for its relevance in your religious life! Open your eyes and receive God's blessings! Always tell & live  the truth! God Bless Everyone!
