95-Disputations on Ezekiel 1:12 and the Straight Way of Sola Christus

By Dr. M.A. Petillo & Reformed Baptist Preacher

“And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.”  (Ezekiel 1:12 NASB).

PART A:  WHAT IS NOT THE STRAIGHT WAY?

1.     No one can be made into a god because God is by nature aseity.

2.     It is denied that the Eucharist is the substantial spiritual presence of Jesus Christ in remembrance of His particular and substitutionary atonement.

3.     The Roman Eucharist is called the real presence but the Bible does not support it because the human nature of Jesus Christ is not everywhere where Rome says the body of Christ is present at every alter but it is not denied that Jesus Christ has a glorified body but the Bible says He is exalted at God’s right hand.

4.     Mankind is not basically good but no good at all.

5.     The Spirit carried Phillip in the Book of Acts to evangelize.

6.     The Spirit of God takes us safe and sound to heaven.

7.     The self-will of man does not take the people of God to heaven.

8.     The Eucharist cannot atone for sin of the people of God.

9.     The Roman baptismal waters cannot savingly enlighten.

10.                        The Bible does not teach the Virgin Mary is Queen of Heaven.

11.                        The Scripture does not teach that Mary is an incarnation of Jesus.

12.                        The Word of God does not teach Mary is the Fourth Member.

13.                        The infallible Word does not teach Mary was sinless.

14.                        The written Word does not teach Mary was bodily assumed.

15.                        The Bible does not teach Mary was an eternal Virgin.

16.                        The written Word does not teach Mary is the Creator of Jesus.

17.                        The Father is not a created god but self-existent.

18.                        The Son is not a created god but is self-existent.

19.                         The Spirit is not a created god but is self-existent.

20.                        The Roman priesthood is not the means of spiritual salvation.

21.                        The Roman confessional cannot absolve sins of any kind.

22.                        Jesus Christ was molded by His own power according to the Father’s power by the Spirit’s power in the womb of the Virgin Mary because everything is a Trinitarian work of God in all things and the original sin and actual transgressions of His fallen mother was bolded out by the deity of Jesus Christ so that Jesus’ sacred humanity was born without the blemish of sin.

23.                        The Virgin Mary is Mother of the human nature of Jesus Christ while He was not conceived by a human father because of His eternal aseity in His eternal deity but His conception in His incarnation was primarily by the work of overshadowing presence of the Holy Spirit without human sexual relations that means Jesus is apart from sin because of the work of God.

24.                        Satan is not the fourth member because no one is such a thing.

25.                        There is no human person who was or ever will be the Fourth.

26.                        Atheism denies meaning but ascribes to the superman but if all meaning is denied so are their conclusions.

27.                        The veneration of the Cross is wrong because God must be worshiped alone because only God deserves worship.

28.                        The prayers to the saints are wrong because it is worship.

29.                        Prayers to a created god are wrong except Triune Aseity.

30.                        The Christian is not called to the left or right but straight ahead.

31.                        Justification by faith alone in Christ alone and no other way.

32.                        Justification by faith and works is an incorrect doctrine.

33.                        The doctrine of being made righteous in justification is wrong.

34.                        Sin-evangelism is an incorrect doctrine of hedonism.

35.                        A denial of faithful repentance is a wrong doctrine.

36.                        Habitual sin is a characteristic of reprobation unto hell.

37.                        Positional peace is eternal and permanent peace in Jesus.

38.                        A forensic declaration is through Christ and not fictional.

39.                        Imputation (not infusion) involves the real unified and divine righteousness of Jesus Christ alone.

40.                        There is no imputation of the gift of faith by a holy God.

41.                        There is no imputation apart from the Spirit and Word.

42.                        Fallen sinners cannot impute Jesus to other sinners.

43.                        Progressive sanctification does not involve infusion.

44.                        Monergistic rebirth does not involve a denial of implantation.

45.                        Progressive sanctification does not denial imparting grace.

46.                        The Old & New Testament does not deny the aseity of Jesus.

47.                        The Gospel of John does not deny Jesus as the Eternal Word.

48.                        No one else was miraculously conceived except Jesus Christ.

49.                        The infallible Scriptures do not deny biblical inerrancy.

50.                        The Bible does not deny that it is authentically God-breathed.

51.                        Zoroaster will never compare to Incarnate Deity as Jesus.

52.                        The wisdom of Confucius does not equal Incarnate Wisdom.

53.                        The gods of Hinduism as idols fall in the presence of Jesus.

54.                        Satan is not the literal god of this age but a fallen creature.

55.                        The gods of Mormonism fail to be the self-existent Christ.

56.                        There is no one except Jesus who is the sinless God-man.

57.                        The Holy Spirit is not a goddess of the Christian faith.

58.                        The Father is not human like Mormonism teaches.

59.                        The Father did not have sexual relations with the Virgin Mary.

60.                        The Incarnation of Jesus Christ did not happen without the Spirit of God according to the Father’s commanding design.

61.                        It is said that Jesus Christ never mentioned homosexuality in the Four Gospels but I dispute this unanimous claim because he explicitly forbids sexual immorality in a general sense (my constitutional right to disagree with those opposed to Christian morality).

62.                        It is a lazy disgrace to deny that the Ten Commandments do not refer to homosexuality in “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (my constitutional right to disagree with those opposed to Christian morality).

63.                        The Bible denies all kinds of sexual immorality, fornication and homosexuality (my constitutional right to disagree with those opposed to Christian morality).

64.                        The Book of Romans Chapter 1 does not support any sort of sexual homosexuality or lesbianism (my constitutional right to disagree with those opposed to Christian morality).

65.                        The redefinition of marriage is the pathway to sin.

66.                        The redefinition of marriage is the ruin of society.

67.                        It is not unconstitutional to have the state publicly fund the public display of the nativity scene, the Ten Commandments or public prayer but because of the prejudice of the despisement of Jesus Christ inherent by nature people have renounced any kind of state endorsement of Christianity.

68.                        It is never right to do the wrong.

69.                        It is right only to do right instead of the any wrong.

70.                        A holy Triune God does not commit the sinfulness of sin.

71.                        Fallen sinners are not sinless in anyway but are depraved.

72.                        Total depravity does not deny human dignity.

73.                        Radical corruption does not deny being made in God’s image.

74.                        Original sin does not deny human responsibility.

75.                        The Father’s ultimate Son is not anyone but Jesus Christ.

76.                        The atonement of Jesus Christ needs no additions.

77.                        The Cross of Jesus Christ needs no subtractions.

78.                        We have no other grounds for how we are right with God than the real unified righteousness of Jesus Christ alone.

79.                        True righteousness has no blemish of sin because it is devoid of any sort of corruption.

80.                        To add the sinner’s polluted “goodness” is far from the Father’s standard of absolute and divine and unified righteousness of the life and death of the eternal Son.

81.                        Self-Flatulention cannot propitiate or expiate sin but enhance the profound misery of the fallen reprobates.

82.                        Propitiation is not through works of satisfaction but the Cross.

83.                        Expiation is not removed as far as the east is from the west in terms of the confessional but through the High Priest at His Cross at Calvary.

84.                        Repentance is not meritorious but a foredetermined gift.

85.                        Faithful repentance is by the gift of His precious grace.

86.                        There is no libertarian free will but compatibilistic freedom.

87.                        Jesus did not literally descend into hell but was hell on the Cross.

88.                        A holy Triune God is not a Deist but meticulously active in sustaining and maintaining His creation of all things.

89.                        God is not a pantheist but He is Triune in nature but transcendent in His superlative holiness but imminent by His incarnation.

90.                        Eagar Cayce was a false prophet but the Bible has true prophecy.

91.                        Joseph Smith was not greater than Jesus but Jesus is the greatest.

92.                        Charles Taze Russell was a false prophet who predicted the end of the world but the Bible never fails in God-breathed, unaddable and divinely authentic revelation.

93.                        Buddha pursed self-reliance but Jesus Christ sustains and maintains all things as God Incarnate by the sheer power of His will where He calls fallen man to rely on His Spirit and Word.

94.                        An agnostic has ignorance as a virtue but the greatest and sole righteous virtue is the unified work of Jesus Christ in His life and death alone in how someone is right with a holy God.

95.                        The resurrection of Jesus Christ was not a spiritual resurrection but a bodily resurrection by His own power unto a glorified body unto life that never dies again and a power that holds the keys of death in His hand to do whatsoever He pleases unto sinlessness.
