Maponga Doubts God
He was my favourite and thoughful SDA Preacher.
Since 2020, Maponga was banned from attending, speaking, preaching and officiating at any function of the Church in Southern and Indian-Ocean.
He has since become a leading voice championing pan-africanism and indigenous African knowledge.
Joshua Maponga a Zimbabwean born public speaker, author, philosopher, leader, musician, and social entrepreneur has moved from asserting that Jesus amd the Jews are black to questioning the entire existence of God!
His recent tweets have demonstrated that his thoughts have taken him to a deeper theological end.
Take a look at these posts;
So God made sin default but cannot make salvation default?
If sin is by default and salvation by choice because of freewill, WHERE WAS MY FREEWILL when sin was made default?
Where was my FREEWILL when Jesus was allegedly killed for my sake without my consent?

Jesus Betrayed Judas Iscariot, not the other way round!
Now, let me prove it to you…
Jesus already knew ahead of time that Judas will sell him off to the Romans to be killed, and Jesus did nothing to save Judas.
Jesus already knew that Judas Iscariot is a thief who is always stealing from the disciples treasury and so can do anything for money, yet Jesus did nothing to fix Judas’s human flaws and nature.
Jesus knew the moment when Satan entered Judas Iscariot, but Jesus did nothing to save Judas from Satan same way he prayed for Peter when Satan entered him
In fact, Jesus knew it was Judas’s destiny to betray him and at some point even asked Judas to betray him (Jesus) fast.
Jesus knew all these things ahead of time but blatantly refused to help nor did anything to protect Judas from Satan…
Isn’t that outright betrayal from Jesus?
Considering the above facts, between Jesus and Judas Iscariot who truly betrayed who?
Because Jesus knew all along what Judas will do, but never warned him nor prayed for him to avert that doom that befall Judas.
Remember, Judas didn’t know that he will betray Jesus, which is why he went and unalived himself after the act, because he couldn’t bear the shame and pain that came with it.
So Jesus actually betrayed Judas Iscariot because he had all the powers and the opportunity to save Judas but never did!

“Thou shall not kill”
But you killed your only son!
“Thou shall not judge”
But I am the judge of all!
“I am not a man that I should lie”
But Adam and Eve didn’t die after eating the fruit!
” I am the Lord and I do not change, I am the same today, tomorrow and forever more”
But I only spoke and interacted with humans in the Bible and thereafter has remained silent and never interacts with humans anymore.
Please who do you say your God is again?
If God can lie and give rules that doesn’t apply to him, what is the difference between God and government?
Or is the true meaning of GOD – Government Of the Day?

I’m so happy that this man has come to this conclusion. God is a human creation and therefore just as flawed as humans. Good thinking always leads to jettisoning of religion.
God has also made sin a matter of inheritance from your forebears. We’re all sinners because of Adam and Eve. Why can’t salvation be the same; I mean if your parents are saved, why can’t their children be automatically saved also?
I was actually telling my daughter that if really heaven exist I will enter, I mean the bible says nothing happens unless God allows it to happen, so why will God punish me for things that he allowed to happen and more especially for allowing Satan to come and tempt me?
I mean you allow Satan to come and tempt me then you punish me for that aaaah, the bible says God is a justice God so justice will apply and make me enter heaven freely and joyfully
But why didn’t he betray Job, Daniel, Paul, John, Elijah, Enoch, Noah and many others? Just as much as he would have liked to save Pharaoh is the same way he wanted to save Judas, but they hardened their hearts and there was nothing he could do for them. The Grace of God which brings salvation has appeared unto all men including Judas Titus 2:11. God does not force, he leaves you to do whatever you have chosen to do. God said, thou shall not kill, but when Cain chose to kill, he didn’t stop him. He did the same to Judas, when he chose to betray him, he left him, it was entirely his own choice.
We’re told that God is the same yesterday today, tomorrow and for ever. Fair enough. I think Africans will be slaves again in heaven. God allowed slavery on earth. It follows slavery will be allowed in heaven also because God is the same “yesterday, today and fore ver “. I’m ready to convert to a religion whose teachings make sense and to believe in a God who has no favourites.
It’s the reason I never follow religion, full of discrepancies and some things that don’t make sense when you apply your minds on them. Only when you follow them blindly then you’re okay but no logically.
I believe religion is what you feel and what you do, following a few basic principles that do not harm others. Ignore these archaic scripts texts written by racist, sexist men (God didn’t write jack).
