The fundamental bottleneck behind the persistent sinful behavior of today's Christians is the Original Sin doctrine. According to this bizarre doctrine, man is born with a corrupted nature from Adam. Proponents of the original sin heresy tactfully argue that human beings are born in sin, get saved in their sin and die in their sin and go to heaven in their sins . They opine that a ‘born again Christian' who commits suicide goes to heaven. Can you imagine! They are also not shamed to say that being a ‘born again' Christian rapist , murderer, porn addict and thug does not deprive one of heaven. Christianity has become a source of ridicule because of Original Sin preachers. Non-Christians look a Christians as big hypocrites because they do not see a difference between them and the ‘born again' Christians. Original sin preachers do not understand that grace produces works and human freedom does not negate God's sovereignty. This book takes you through the origins and rebuttals of the doctrine of Original Sin. After reading this book, you must decide whether to follow the bible alone or concoctions of carnal preachers.

The recognition of Sexual Minority Rights in Uganda is still very contentious. The sexual minority rights issue in Uganda is essentially a head on confrontation between culture, religion and human rights. Last year, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009 was almost passed by the 8th Ugandan Parliament but later shelved because of international pressure. A section of the Ugandan population is still calling upon the government of Uganda to speedily enact the so called Bahati Bill without any further delay. The catholic and Anglican churches have withdrawn their support for the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009. The Evangelicals have however vehemently continued to support the Bahati bill. President Museveni, a one time critic of homosexuality has also advised his ruling National Resistance Movement party to rethink its position on the bill. This book takes you through a number of arguments and perspectives on sexual minority rights in Uganda that have been prominent in both the local and international Media.

The saying “we eat to live” is a clear testimony on how food is at the core of humanity and development. Realizing the right to food of the world’s population is thus an urgent obligation that may be unique from other human rights and freedoms given the importance of adequate food for organisation and prosperity of communities. Though rooted in international law and instruments, in Africa, the right to food and freedom from hunger has historically been transformed by external forces of slavery, colonialism, imperialism, neo-liberalism , apartheid, and conditioned economic policies, whose activities have often attempted to limit the enjoyment of this right. This book brings to fore the political realities and economic dynamics confronting the realization of the right to adequate food in a Sub-Saharan Africa milieu.

Apparent in the contemporary corruption discourse is the tendency to monsterthise the state when it comes to the corruption and accountability problematic. However the prominence of neo-liberal globalisation not only renders the state virtually impotent to pursue accountability, but also incredibly reconfigures corruption cartographies from a territorial to social trajectory. Any attempt to understand corruption using a state territorial matrix seems to be self defeating because the state is immensely intertwined with deterritorised social entities or groups that are subtlety difficult to hold accountable. With the prominence of transnational capital and the transnational estate, an exclusively territorialistic conception of corruption is rendered self defeating. This books examines this and other integrity and good governance related perspectives from Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

The problematic that has gripped the Sub-Saharan African milieu and has perturbed philosophers, political scientists, economists, sociologists, and development partners, intellectually and Splanchnically , is the combined phenomenon of corruption, nepotism, embezzlement graft, abuse of office and cronyism. While Sub-Saharan Africa has for a number of decades received substantial chunks of aid, ostensibly to improve living standards of the masses, in the majority of countries, living standards seem to be falling and the numbers of those who are destitute increasing. In addition even Ombudsmen and other integrity monitoring institutions, set up to ensure that ethical standards are observed in both public and private domains seems to be whipping a dead horse . The book critically assesses the fundamental causes of the integrity crisis in which Sub-Saharan is currently enmeshed.

When Museveni captured power in 1986 and promised Ugandans a fundamental change, many Uganda were optimistic that the tyrannical days of dictators like Amin were over. After decades in power, Museveni''s government is evidence of the fact that Uganda simply made a transition from AMIN to AMINISM. President Museveni''s past ‘no party democracy'' and now present pseudo multiparty democratic system has been implicated in innumerable human rights abuses, election rigging and corruption scandals amidst the aloofness of America and Britain. Despite the numerous human rights abuses and corruption tendencies, Museveni''s neo-liberal conduit government has managed to stay in power because western financial support. This book situates the hypocrisy of Museveni''s government in the neo-liberal ideology of creating conduit states for primitive capitalist accumulation. The book shows how Museveni was created and protected by the Anglo-American neo-liberal Alliance. The book also shows how the Americans have used Pentecostalism to sustain Museveni''s dictatorship through Pavlovian techniques.

The ‘successes'' of the green and gene revolutions in agriculture have been greatly compromised by corporate greed explicit in neo-liberal globalization. The right to food of millions of people in the world is being compromised by the profit making antics of corporations like Monsanto. Farmers especially in Africa, Asia and South America are slowly but steadily losing complete control over organic seed management and are being forced to depend on corporate seed companies that are driven by profit accumulation instead of pro-poor agricultural empowerment.Using the WTO,IMF and World Bank, governments in the so called south have been forced to open their markets as developed nations close theirs. This ruse is intended to suffocate economies in the south in the politics of export dumping, TRIPS, subsidies, organic agricultural alienation and extirpation. World over,farmers are protesting against the genetically modified seeds of seed corporations and are advocating for a paradigm shift from genetic to organic agriculture.Are you confused about green and gene revolutions? This book is a must read for you.

Many scholars, elites and pastors are propelling the lie that Africa is poor because it is cursed. The fact that Africa is not coming out of ‘her'' poverty despite the billions pumped into the continent in terms of aid is luring many individuals to simplistically deduce that Africa''s poverty must be situated in a divine curse. Many individuals can not understand the fundamentals behind Africa''s poverty problematic because they are very ignorant of the implications of the global paradigm shift from liberal to neo-liberal capitalism and hence the poverty and injustices ‘engendered'' by this paradigm shift. Many scholars are giving liberal poverty solutions to a neo-liberal problematic. To make matters worse, some pastors and elites are propagating the deception that Africa is poor because of witchcraft, ancestral worship, occultism, blood shed, sexual sins etc. This argument is flawed because these vices are also rampant in rich western nations. This book situates Africa''s poverty and governance problematic in the neo-liberal imperative of creating slave states. The book shows that the so called African liberators and democrats are mere conduits of American neo-liberal interests.

The issues confronting ‘independent'' nation states in Sub-Saharan Africa include but not limited to: neo-colonialism, absolute poverty, gender injustice, war and civil strife, human rights and bad governance. This book argues that we can not thoroughly appreciate these challenges without a clear cognizance of the global paradigm shift from organized to disorganized capitalism. The book categorically reiterates that these problematics ought to be situated in the neo-liberal discourse that is largely responsible for their production and reproduction.The book opines that because of the neo-liberal paradigm shift , global justice institutions have been incredibly reconfigured and compromised and hence rendered instruments of oppression and hypocrisy.

Both public and private institutions are making a paradigm shift from codes of conduct which are basically top-down and punitive to codes of ethics which are bottom-up and basically aspirational. Institutional Integrity demands that including both junior and senior employees in the decision making of an institutional is the best way to go. In fact organizations that have made a transition from codes of conduct to codes of ethics are doing better than the ones that have stuck to the punitive way of managing institutions. This book will take you through the historical evolution of codes of ethics, types of codes of ethics, choice of codes of ethics and codes of ethics implementation. Although the book gives more emphasis to public sector codes of ethics, the process of making codes of ethics for the private sector is very similar. Are confused about codes of ethics and codes of conduct? This book is a must read for you.

Political philosophy is a branch of philosophy that attempts to answer fundamental questions about political societies. Such questions include but not limited to: How does a state originate? Who should rule? What is the best form of government? What are rights? This book approaches the subject of political philosophy from both a historical and thematic perspective .The book examines primary texts in order to discover how various philosophers answered these questions. The philosophers we will examine include: Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, John Rawls, Robert Nozick and Martha Nussbaum.The book also looks at themes such as; rights, freedoms and capabilities.

The phrase “analytic philosophy” is ambiguous (it has multiple meanings, and it is not always clear which meaning is intended). It is used variously to refer to: a tradition within late 19th century and 20th century philosophy; one or more of the philosophical doctrines held by philosophers within that tradition; and a method of doing philosophy used by philosophers within that tradition, as well as by philosophers outside that tradition. Analytic philosophy is premised on the contention that the problems of philosophy are essentially problems of language; therefore the clarification of language implies the disappearance of philosophical problems. This book offers a simplified version of the major debates in analytical philosophy.

This book is a simplified introduction to the philosophical tradition called pragmatism, the only major philosophical tradition to have developed entirely in the United States. While the philosophers we will look at in this book are all lumped together as “pragmatists,” there is no doctrine that they all have in common. In fact, “pragmatism” means something slightly different for each one of them. The book examines various classical and contemporary American pragmatists. Are you confused about pragmatism? This book is a must read for you.

Philosophy of Law or jurisprudence or legal philosophy rationally, critically and systematically studies the assumptions and problems of Law as a discipline. Philosophy of law asks fundamental questions concerning law and legal systems. Such questions include: Why is law important? What would a society without laws be like? (Hobbes), Does anyone have an obligation to obey the law? If so, what is the source of this obligation? (Socrates/Plato), Is it ever morally permissible to disobey the law, i.e., to engage in civil disobedience? (Rawls), What is the purpose of Punishment? Should we legislate basing on moral principles? In the absence of a world government, is international law possible? (Kant), What is the nature of law itself, and in particular, what is the connection between law and morality? (natural law theorists vs. legal positivists) What is the nature of legal reasoning? (legal formalists vs. legal realists vs. constructivists) What are the different types of freedom/liberty? What is a right? This book is an introduction to the basic debates in Philosophy of Law. It is based on both a thematic and historical approach to jurisprudence.

For decades radical feminism has been waging a very persistent onslaught on biblical Christianity. This assault is premised on the faulty assumption that biblical Christianity is based on patriarchal oppression and domination and thus needs to be gender-neutralized if not overthrown. As a result, a number of so called gender neutral bibles with translations such as; Judith Christ instead of Jesus Christ , prodigal daughter instead of prodigal son, send you out to fish for people instead of fishers of men among other changes. Radical feminist theology is a clear reflection of the old lie of the serpent; has God said(Genesis 3:1).It is a clear manifestation of Lucifer's antics clearly expressed in the statement; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High(Isaiah 14:14). This book argues that the Bible teaches that women are equal to men as human beings. Husbands are to love their wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it..(Eph. 5:25-28). No man should ever treat a woman with contempt, or abuse her in any way. All women should be treated with respect and gentleness by men.

We live in perilous times where Christians have abandoned the simple Jesus of the bible and have gone whoring after the American capitalist designer Jesus, who had a big house and who was oozing with material prosperity. This Jesus from the pit of hell wants Christians to look at them selves not as pilgrims and sojourners in this world, but as permanent residents of this fallen world. Many ‘born again'' Christians are now spending most of their time preparing for the life in this world. Many are ready to kill, rob, and extort in order to acquire material prosperity. Be warned that this designer Jesus has nothing to do with the bible, he is simply a concoction by man .This book is going to take you on a long journey through some of the teachings of prominent church ministers who look like sheep but speak the language of the Dragon. These ministers preach that it is a sin to be poor, they also say that Jesus was born again and paid for our sins in hell among other heresies. After reading this book you must decide, whether to follow and trust the Jesus of the bible alone or to go whoring after deceptive and lying spirits.

The devil knows that the most important weapon a born again Christian has against his lies and vices is the holy word of God. Since Genesis, the devil has been using all kinds of ruses to sway man kind from trusting God''s holy word to trusting emotions and experiences. The devil has now infiltrated; churches , bible colleges, seminaries and Christian media in order to pervert God''s word and hence control the church. In today''s postmodern Christian church, ‘born again'' Christians are fed on perverted music and hype more than the substance of the word of God. Very few Christians spend enough time studying and meditating about the word of God. The so called Christian Television channels spend a lot of time on secular entertainment than the word of God. Many Christians can longer differentiate between sound and un sound doctrine. I have discovered that ‘born again'' Christians in Africa use the Good News bible; but they are un bothered by John 1:42, which categorically says that Peter is the rock of the church. This book takes you through the bible controversy. After coming to grips with the bible controversy, your discernment and doctrinal stance will improve tremendously.

A close examination of the spiritual condition of the church today categorically reveals that we are approaching the end. All the deceptions in the last days that were clearly articulated by the Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles are all around us. The strong delusion talked about in 2 Thesa 2 is more evident that ever before. The church is infested with all kinds of counterfeit doctrines and mammon worship has become the order of the day. Pastors are struggling with sexual sin and are controlled by the spirit of Phariseeism. Evangelical leaders have forsaken sound doctrine and have gone whoring after occultism,ecumenism and political Christianity. This book exposes the alliance of Christianity with Babylon. It explores the techniques of discerning this counterfeit Christianity and the urgent need to separate from it without any hesitation. Are you confused about the doctrines and spiritual condition of Babylon Christianity? This book is a must read for you.

We live in perilous times where Christianity is emerging with occultism and eastern mysticism. Many Christian leaders are talking of re-thinking Christianity so that it is in tandem with other religious beliefs. This is being done under the semantics of peace, love, and unity but underneath it involves a fundamental denial of truth. Many evangelical leaders are confidently taking the broad way to Rome and are swaying other Christians to follow suit. Thousands of Christians have embraced experience based Christianity where emotions and experiences take precedent over the holy word of God. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been turned into a den of thieves, Wolves and profit makers. Many Christians have forsaken their first love Jesus Christ and have gone whoring after mammon and quick miracles. In short, Christianity has become a den of zombies,heretics and hypocrites. Are you confused about the emergent church movement, word of faith movement and the true foundation of the Church? This book is a must read for you.

Christianity is in a very serious crisis. Most of the doctrines being preached in today''s pulpits are more occultic than cultic. As the world continues to be bombarded with the unscriptural American prosperity gospel, the major causality of this unscrupulous gospel are the sick, desperate and poor born again Christians of the world who have been totally disarmed to fight the disempowerment and exploitation of this gospel. Many Born again Christians have been conditioned to think that being born again is synonymous with being illogical, uncritical, unquestioning and uncontroversial. There is a need to revive the Berean spirit (Acts 17:11)among born again Christians. Born again Christians must be empowered to prove all things(1 Thess. 5:21) and test spirits (1 John 4:1) with the word of God other wise the consequences will be fatal. Are you confused about the gospel being preached on ‘Christian'' pulpits today, this book is a must read for you.
