Warning

I feel that I need to send out a general warning concerning two men that have been officially associated with The Seed of Abraham, but who are no longer part of it, due to unrepentant sin in their lives.

The first man is Ugochukwu Anthony (aka Terry Anthony). He lives in Abia, Nigeria. This man was ordained by me in 2004, before the Ordination Process was instituted (http://seedofabraham.net/ordination.htm). In 2010 I wrote an article on Gentile Circumcision stating that male Gentile believers should not be physically circumcised for covenantal reasons. Ugo, though, was determined to teach that Gentile believers should be circumcised, and/or their sons, because it ‘strengthens their faith’ in Yeshua and is a ‘physical sign of worship’ to God. As many of you realize, Gentile circumcision for covenantal, religious or ‘unity’ reasons not only goes directly against what the New Testament teaches, but is a major heresy because it adds to the blood sacrifice of Yeshua for the Gentile in order to be acceptable to God for Passover, etc. Despite my efforts at dialogue, Ugo insisted that Gentile circumcision was alright with God, even though he had no New Testament Scripture to support his position. After a number of emails I realized that he was not going to change and so I gave him an opportunity to change by saying that if he didn’t I would have to take his ministerial certificate back. He said that his position was firm, and so, I asked him for his ministerial certificate back. Adding to his sin of being unteachable he refused to return his ordination certificate. Ugo continues to present himself as an ordained minister of The Seed of Abraham, which he is not.1

The second man is Douglas Taylor. He lives in London, Canada and was in the ordination program from Nov 2006 until Oct 2010. In Oct 2010 Douglas notified me that he was a “naturist.” For those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s someone who walks around nude in the midst of other nude men and women in social gatherings and/or hikes and swimming events, etc. Over the course of a number of emails I tried to reason with Douglas that his position went against the Scriptures and was an affront to the living God, but Douglas closed his ears to the words of Scripture, and so, I asked for his ministerial credentials back, which he did send back to me (he had been licensed through us, but had not yet been ordained). Douglas, though, true to his unrepentant nature continues ‘to teach’ the Word of God, and hence, my warning about him, also, for anyone who might fall into his trap. 

We are not to bend God’s Word to our lives, 

but to bend our lives to God’s Word,

End Notes:

1.  To understand why God forbids physical circumcision for NT Gentile believers ‘in order to keep Pass­over,’ see Circumcision for the Gentile Believer? at http://seedofabraham.net/Gentile_Circumcision.html or ask me for the PDF on it.
