CHAPTER ONE: ACCEPT YOU ARE A SINNER IN NEED OF SALVATION
By Biblical Christianity, I am referring to true Christianity which is guided and directed by all
the teachings of the 66 books of the Holy Bible (39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the
New Testament) which are taught and applied adhering strictly to the literal, grammatical and
historical context of what the Bible authors intended to communicate to the original recipients of
the Bible. This helps to distinguish Biblical Christianity from False Christianity which does not
embrace all the teachings of the 66 books of the Holy Bible nor does it adhere strictly to the
literal, grammatical and historical context of what the Bible authors intended to communicate to the
original recipients of the Bible hence it permits false teachings and misleading applications which
are completely out of context and without the true content of the Bible. Furthermore, False
Christianity adds or subtracts from the Bible thereby teaching church traditions and dogmas as well
as personal dreams, visions and all other kinds of subjective experiences as truth even when those
subjective experiences clearly contradict and openly deny what is taught and affirmed throughout all
the 66 books of the Holy Bible.
I learnt this concept of dividing a circle into three equal parts to represent the three
dimensions of a human being (i.e. body, soul and spirit), from one Professor Mbugua, a
Philanthropist from USA. This happened on Saturday 17 April 2004, in a parish youth seminar I
attended at Kangare Catholic Church in Murang’a County in Central Kenya, where Professor Mbugua was
the guest speaker. Though I do not know much about Professor Mbugua except what he briefly told us
that he was born in Kenya with some unusual features and abilities, I was greatly impacted by his
teaching drawn from Genesis 2:7 and Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 on the three-in-one nature of human beings
(i.e. body, soul and spirit). Even though his teaching on the three-in-one nature of human beings
was abruptly and unfortunately stopped to pave the way for mass, I was so touched by it that from
that day I embarked on an intensive search for biblical truth so that I could know what the Bible
really teaches on the subject of salvation. And by God’s providence, this search eventually led to
eternal salvation of my soul four weeks later exactly to the day, on Saturday 15 May 2004, at 5.25
pm when I repented all my sins and then believed and received Jesus Christ into my life to become my
personal lord and savior.
Listen to Charlie H. Campbell 1 hour and 10 minutes long DVD titled Amazing Evidence for the
Trustworthiness of the Bible specifically from the 7th minute to the 16th minute and you will hear
him explain in details on this fact about fulfilled prophecies found in the Bible or you can visit
his website www.alwaysbeready.com to learn more about “Trustworthiness of the Bible”.
CHAPTER TWO: BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED
This information on how the name “YAHWEH” was formed in later times by inserting vowels to the
Hebrew form YHWH to YAHWEH, which is transliterated to JEHOVAH is taken from introductory notes
titled The Names and Attributes of God found on Red Letter King James Bible – Easy Reading Edition
page Xii.
From various reliable historical sources available in the public domain, Caesar Augustus whose
original name was Gaius Octavius, the nephew of Julius Caesar, reigned over the Roman Empire between
43 B.C. and 14 A.D. However, it wasn’t until 31 B.C. that he became the sole ruler of the Roman
Empire after he managed to finally defeat his two rivals: Marcus Lepidus in 36 B.C. and Mark Antony
in 31 B.C.
While it is widely accepted that Herod the Great died in 4 B.C., I humbly request any reader of
this book who is interested in this subject to consider (of course, after a careful and objective
historical research) that 14th January 1 B.C. might be the most likely date of the death of Herod
the Great as is boldly and clearly affirmed by several scholars, amongst them, renowned Bible
teacher by the name Chuck Missler in his briefing package titled: The Christmas Story; what really
happened?, with supplemental notes, pg. 3, Koinonia House, 1994.

While a figure like this one is not new and might have been used for two millennia to explain the
two natures of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, this is how I personally came to know about it and
subsequently use it, owing to how less I was exposed to many of the theological resources that were
available in print and electronic media then. This is because, for five years from the day of my
salvation on 15 May 2004 up to sometime in the second half of 2009, I could not understand nor
clearly explain how Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man all in one person. I knew it was true,
but I struggled to understand it and logically explain it to any person who would ask me. But this
changed one day in 2009 when I was listening to four audio messages recorded in October of 2004
which the late Dr. Norman Geisler (1932-2019) preached to seminary students during services at a
University Chapel in USA. In the first of these four messages on the subject: “Are all religions
true?” Dr. Norman Geisler made this simple yet profound statement regarding the two natures of Jesus
Christ, “Christianity says, Jesus Christ is both God and Man; it wasn’t the subtraction of deity, it
was the addition of humanity in the incarnation. He is God from all eternity and He is Man from the
point of conception in Mary’s womb. He is the God-Man!” Immediately he said that, I got this idea of
joining a circle which represents the human nature of Jesus Christ to the left lower tip of an
equilateral triangle which represents the true nature of Yahweh God of the Bible to demonstrate how
Jesus Christ added His human nature to His divine nature in incarnation, without any changes
occurring in His immutable eternal divine nature as God the Son. Combining Dr. Geisler’s insight
with what I had already learnt from Professor Mbugua* regarding representing human nature with a
circle that is divided into three equal parts to denote body, soul and spirit of a human being, I
came up with this figure that I now regularly use to explain the two natures of Jesus Christ in one
person. That’s why I am grateful and I give credit to the late Dr. Norman Geisler whom God used to
help me clearly understand how my lord and savior Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man all in one
person. (To access the first of the four Audio messages by Dr. Norman Geisler mentioned above, you

CHAPTER THREE: CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS THE LORD YOUR GOD TO RECEIVE YOUR
SALVATION
True biblical salvation comprises of these two major areas namely: what a sinner is saved from
and what a sinner is saved for. What a sinner is saved from is Satan’s kingdom of eternal death
and darkness which hooks unrepentant sinner into a lifestyle of loving, enjoying and practicing
sins so that he or she can die unsaved and face everlasting pain and suffering in hell being the
just and righteous punishment from God because of all his or her sins. While what a sinner is
saved for is God’s Kingdom of eternal life and light by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as
their personal lord and savior. This happens immediately a sinner sincerely repents all his or
her sins and then truly believes in Jesus Christ as his or her personal lord and savior. For,
there and then he or she is born again and is also immediately adopted into the family of God as
a child of God who is totally forgiven of all his or her sins and is therefore destined to spend
eternity in heaven, the eternal dwelling place of Yahweh God of the Bible, the one and the only
true and the living God there is. Owing to the shocking details of all the horrible consequences
of sins in hell which a sinner is to be saved from, there is a dangerous tendency by some
preachers to avoid discussing those painful truths regarding what a sinner is to be saved from
and instead they choose rather to jump right into what a sinner is to be saved for. However, a
sinner can neither experience true saving repentance toward God which leads to true biblical
salvation nor appreciate what they are to be saved for before they can know and understand what
they are to be saved from. That’s why it is very important that every faithful preacher of the
gospel of Jesus Christ should first of all explain clearly what a sinner is to be saved from
before embarking on what a sinner is to be saved for. In light of that fact, I have dedicated
part one of this book which is made up of chapters one, two and three to a detailed explanation
of what you are to be saved from. Then I have dedicated part two of this book which is made up
of chapters four, five and six to a detailed explanation of what you are to be saved for.
As I noted in chapter two, Jesus Christ, God the Son entered space, time and matter in a
perfect human nature and henceforth became the God-Man approximately 2,000 years ago sometime
between 4 and 2 B.C., with 2 B.C. being the most likely year of His incarnation when you factor
in all the evidences given by Early Church fathers quoted by Chuck Missler in his briefing
package, The Christmas Story: What really happened?, with supplemental notes, pg. 3, Koinonia
House, 1994.
Regarding how bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is both a biblical truth and a historical
fact, you can revisit the last section of chapter two in this book where I have adduced
sufficient evidence to substantiate this claim.
CHAPTER FOUR: YOUR POSITION IN JESUS CHRIST
See note one of chapter three where I have elaborated in details these two major areas of true
biblical salvation namely: what a sinner is saved from and what a sinner is saved for so that
you can understand why a sinner cannot appreciate and value what they are to be saved for before
they clearly understand what they are to be saved from.
CHAPTER FIVE: YOUR PRACTICE AND CONDUCT IN JESUS CHRIST
For a period of two months before I was filled with the Holy Spirit on Wednesday 29 March
2006, I was going through one of the toughest emotional turmoil I have ever experienced in my
life as a Christian. I was facing an intractable dilemma. On one hand, I wanted to know and
fulfill God’s perfect will for my life no matter the cost. And on the other hand, I was already
planning to do a Masters degree in the field of Solar Energy at Jomo Kenyatta University of
Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) starting in April of that year. So from 20 January 2006 when
I resigned from my first job so that I could start preparations to enroll for that forementioned
Masters degree at JKUAT, all the way to 29 March 2006 when I was filled with the Holy Spirit for
the very first time in my life, I was praying fervently to God the Father seeking to know
clearly and unmistakably what was His perfect will for my life. My prayers were finally answered
when God revealed to me that even though I was truly born again, I was unfortunately still
sitting on the throne of my life guiding and directing my life instead of letting my lord and
savior Jesus Christ to sit on the throne of my life so that He could freely guide and direct my
life according to His perfect will for my life. At that moment, I understood that I had to
immediately vacate the throne of my life and surrender it to Jesus Christ to allow Him unlimited
rule and reign over who I am, what I have and what I do all the days of my life through God the
Holy Spirit who permanently indwells me and who empowers me whenever He comes upon me or rather
whenever He fills me. Therefore, on Wednesday 29 March 2006 between 9 and 10 pm, I vacated the
throne of my life and willingly surrendered it to my lord and savior Jesus Christ. So I humbly
asked God the Father to fill me with the Holy Spirit according to His promise in Luke 11:13,
while at the same time, I unreservedly surrendered to my lord and savior Jesus Christ who I am
(my body, my soul and my spirit), what I have (my material possessions and my immaterial
possessions such as spiritual gifts, natural abilities and acquired skills) and what I do (my
occupation, my vocation and my vacation) so that He could guide and direct my life through God
the Holy Spirit however He wants, whenever He wants and wherever He wants. Immediately I did
that, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and the overwhelming peace of God suddenly took away all
the emotional turmoil I was experiencing and replaced it with joy and satisfaction which I have
no words to describe. Moreover, soon after I was filled with the Holy Spirit, I clearly
understood that God’s perfect will for my life was for me to abandon my career pursuit in the
field of solar energy so that I could serve Him full time sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ
with all unsaved people while equipping saved people with the Word of God (the Bible) as I am
doing to this very day.
For more details on when and how I got saved and henceforth became a true born again believer
in Jesus Christ, you can read appendix 2 titled Author’s Salvation Testimony.
When I got born again on Saturday 15 May 2004, God providentially led me the next day on
Sunday evening to start listening to the verse by verse Bible teachings on the radio by the late
Pastor Chuck Smith (1927-2013) of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in California, USA. He was teaching
from the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) but I was following his teachings using Revised
Standard Version of the Bible (RSV), which was the only Bible I had by then. So I started
noticing differences between the King James Bible that Pastor Chuck Smith was using and the RSV
Bible I was using. That prompted me to acquire King James Easy Reading Red Letter Bible so that
I could smoothly follow “Through the Bible Teachings” of Pastor Chuck Smith. Soon thereafter I
became aware that there are two major collections of manuscripts from which all Bible Versions
are translated from namely: Majority Text and Critical Text. Aware of that crucial fact, I
started comparing and contrasting King James Bible translated from Majority Text to other
English Bibles translated from Critical Text. Since I am not a scholar of Greek and Hebrew (the
two major languages the Bible was originally written in), what I have been doing over the years
is to compare and contrast two English Bibles: that is, the King James Bible translated from
Majority Text and any other Version of the Bible translated from Critical Text. In fact, I have
also been comparing and contrasting my King James Easy Reading Red Letter Bible to the 1965
Kikuyu Bible translated from Critical Text, whereby, every day I read in one sitting the same
Bible passage from these two Bibles to gain clarity and deeper understanding. But to my
disappointment and utter astonishment, week after week, month after month and year after year I
have kept on noticing that Bibles translated from the Critical Text have many omissions and
alterations which undermine key doctrines of true Biblical Christianity, particularly the deity
of Jesus Christ. Now, do not take my word for it but do your own objective research by carefully
comparing and contrasting King James Bible translated from Majority Text to any other Version of
the Bible translated from Critical Text. And once you do that, you will no doubt notice that
some of the verses have been omitted or significantly altered thereby undermining key doctrines
of true Biblical Christianity, particularly the deity of Jesus Christ. Now for your perusal,
here are a few examples of some of the verses either omitted or significantly altered in most of
the Bible Versions translated from Critical Text: Matthew 1:25; 6:13; 8:29; 9:13; 12:35; 16:13;
17:21; 20:23; 23:14, Mark 1:2; 3:15; 6:11; 7:16; 9:44, 46; 11:26; 15:28; 16:9-20, Luke 2:33;
4:4; 17:36; 23:17, John 1:18; 3:7, 13, 15; 5:4; 9:38; 10:10, Acts 2:30; 8:37; 9:5, 6; 15:34;
24:7; 28:29, Romans 1:16, 29; 11:6; 15:29; 16:24 1st Corinthians 6:20; 15:47, Galatians 3:1, 17;
4:7, Ephesians 3:9, 14, Colossians 1:14; 1st Timothy 3:16, 2nd Timothy 4:22 and Revelation 1:11;
5:9-10.
Young-earth creationists are mostly Bible-believing born again believers in Jesus Christ who
are highly skilled in various academic fields, most of them having Ph.D. in those fields. They
normally use those God-given skills and abilities to objectively defend the truthfulness and
accuracy of the account of creation in the book of Genesis and in the rest of the Bible. So they
often conduct objective thorough research on the subject of creation. As a result, they have
over and over again shown in verifiable ways that the biblical account of creation in the book
of Genesis and in the rest of the Bible is true. That is, the earth and the universe as a whole
did not evolve as the evolutionists claim but it was created by Yahweh God of the Bible about
6,000 years ago in 6 literal days of 24 hours each. Hence they are known as young-earth
creationists because they show that the earth was created by God and is relatively young being
about 6,000 years old. To get more information about some of the young-earth creationists and
some of the research projects they have conducted visit www.answersingenesis.org and www.icr.org
to mention but a few.
Dr. Ken Ham, the Founder of Answers in Genesis Apologetic Ministry in his 29 minutes long
recorded message titled One Blood-One Race explained how one famous evolutionist had been using
doctored diagrams of embryonic recapitulation to deceitfully show that humans had gills in the
womb.
Over and over again, evolutionists are known to employ circular reasoning to date fossils
whereby they date fossils by the rock layer they find those fossils in and then they date rock
layers by the fossils they find in those rock layers. This is faulty subjective reasoning to say
but the least nevertheless evolutionists use it anyway.
In a 48 minutes long documentary titled Thousands-Not Billions commissioned by Institute for
Creation Research (ICR) to discuss the results of eight years of Radioisotope and the Age of The
Earth (RATE) research project launched in 1997 by seven creation scientists, Dr. Larry Vardiman
a Ph.D. Atmospheric Scientist who was the manager of RATE research project started the
discussion by showing how the methods used to date rocks are based on three unquestionable
assumptions.
Ibid., from the 10th to the 16th minute, Dr. Steve Austin a Ph.D. Geologist and his colleague
Dr. Andrew Snelling a Ph.D. Geologist also showed how different methods of dating rocks were
producing conflicting dates, some with a difference of one billion years for the same rock!
It has been shown that the methods used to date rocks are not reliable because they fail to
produce the correct ages when used to tests rocks whose ages are already known. For example,
when a volcano erupts and lava from that eruption solidify into a rock and then these dating
methods are used to date such a rock whose age is already known, they often produce a very old
age nowhere near what is known to be the actual age of that rock!
Dr. Ken Ham, in a recorded message he taught at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills on Sunday 8
February 2009 titled Creation, Evolution and The Last Days, he explained how evolutionists deny
world-wide flood in Noah’s days even though there is enough physical evidence in form of
millions of fossils encased in layers of sedimentary rocks laid down by a water catastrophe all
over the world. In this message he reiterated the fact that, “If really there was a global flood
you would expect to find billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all
over the earth.” And that is what fossils are, as he went on to passionately say, “People! There
has been a flood. Look at the fossils all over the world. They are not as a result of millions
of years of slow processes; it is a graveyard of the flood.”
Chuck Missler and Dr. Mark Eastman in their series on The Creator Beyond Time and Space,
particularly their briefing package titled Beyond with supplemental notes, pg. 1-21, Koinonia
House, 1996, have thoroughly exposed how evolutionists reject intelligent design even though it
is clearly seen in all living and non-living things such as in the marvelous design of DNA
molecules found in living things and in the fine-tuning of the universe.
Dr. Mark Eastman in the series on The Creator Beyond Time and Space, specifically the fourth
briefing package titled: The Divine Watch Maker with supplemental notes, pg. 1-19, Koinonia
House, 1996, has thoroughly exposed lack of any valid transitional forms of creatures in spite
of evolutionists searching for them for over 150 years.
Chuck Missler and Dr. Mark Eastman in their series on The Creator Beyond Time and Space,
specifically their fourth briefing package titled: The Divine Watch Maker with supplemental
notes, pg. 1-19, Koinonia House, 1996, showed point after point that all the systems or organs
or parts of any living organism must be present and fully functioning for that organism to exist
and function properly (in what is known as irreducible complexity) which rules out possibility
of any of living organism coming about by Darwinian evolution.
For more details on how Christmas is largely plagued with all manner of paganism read the
book The Two Babylons by the Late Rev. Alexander Hislop. Read chapter three that deals with
festivals, particularly section one titled Christmas and the Lady-Day where he shows step by
step when and how paganism shrouded Christmas.
CHAPTER SIX: YOU PERMANENT ETERNAL STATE IN JESUS CHRIST
This false belief that when a person dies: his body, his soul and his spirit all instantly die
causing that person to cease to exist is embraced generally by all those people who do not
believe in life after death but choose rather to believe that human beings cease to exist when
they die just like animals do when they die. Also atheists, evolutionists and all those people
who do not believe that human beings have immaterial nature that cannot be seen and touched such
as a soul and a spirit partly embrace this false belief where it erroneously asserts that a
person ceases to exist when he or she dies because to them, a human being is just an animal,
albeit a higher animal at best. Hence he or she must cease to exist when they die just as
animals cease to exist when they die.
This false belief that when a person dies his soul and his spirit depart from the body to roam
freely around homesteads, graves and cemeteries haunting people is widely believed in many
societies all over the world where true biblical Christianity has not taken deep strong roots.
However, even though this false belief is neither warranted by the truths of the Bible nor by
the facts of science, this false belief is nonetheless sadly and deeply believed by some of the
tribes here in Kenya, some of whom report haunting and strange visitations supposedly by spirits
of dead people. This has unfortunately led most of the people from these tribes to engage in the
Satan-inspired dangerous practice of necromancy whereby they talk to dead people and strangely
enough, they report that dead people speak back to them. But how can a decaying dead body that
is lying helplessly in a casket speak or even refuse to be transported for burial (as they claim
it does), other than the fact that it is a demon the kind known as the familiar spirit in the
Bible that is masquerading as that dead person in order to haunt and terrorize the mourners
hoping to deceive them? This is obviously the case—it is a demon speaking not a dead person—and
that is why the Bible in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns against this dangerous habit of speaking to
dead people, whether they died saved or they died unsaved. Otherwise, why do these mourners bury
a person who is “speaking” if truly indeed it is him or her who is speaking? Is it not because
they know that the person they are about to bury has literally died and there is no any
consciousness in him or her to know, feel or say anything? Of course their common sense tells
them that the person they are about to bury is dead but their unbiblical tradition tells them to
treat that person as if he or she is not dead. It is therefore for this reason that all true
born again believers in Jesus Christ ought to come out boldly and dissuade people (saved or
unsaved) from talking to dead people especially in burial ceremonies where nowadays there is a
growing trend of mourners paying tribute to dead people by talking directly to the dead person
instead of talking about the dead person to the people who are alive. By so doing, they risk
being lured slowly by slowly into this Satan-inspired practice of necromancy that is
categorically condemned by God in Deuteronomy 18:10-12!
