2) I responded that I am very delighted and honoured to be considered. As I mentioned in the ending lines of the #CPMNESPBook (Pages 481 – 486), my stance briefly stated here would be: I Thank God if it is right and forgive me God if it is wrong as this is an academic presentation of evidences and perspectives.
3) This is my first journal publication (52 Pages) and the current link for it is (Note: the date on the internet one should be ” Vol 266) Feb.9, 2025 ” instead of ” Vol 266) Feb.9, 2026 ” which is a small typo) in link below (under “Theological Research” Section):

#CPMNESPBook [Page 387]; CHILIASM & FIRST CHRISTIANITY – Slide 14 – Journal Rejection and Christian Unity? Do Conversion numbers matter? Says Who?
1) Problem: A Journal and its editors got offended when I gave some honest replies with Chiliasm Church Fathers quotes (which none of them could over provide for their doctrinal stances which they have published) to defend my academic paper. The cited that “Which University/Teacher I learn from?” or even that “The Topic is Secondary issue and so is not important etc.” to try discredit my responses.
2) Solution: Here are my replies to them.
i) Thank you for letting me know regarding the rejection.
ii) I told you already that I learn from Primary sources by reading the Church Fathers directly with the Bible. People read the Bible (especially prophecy and doctrine in different ways). So, for me I try my best to find a quote from at least a Chiliasm Church Fathers (since I find their prophecy aspect most accurate, my view) to indicate that the Biblical way of reading the verses as I do matches some significant Christian from earlier times.
iii) I am not frustrated at all since it’s not God who is rejecting or approving anyone here. Majority and approval of masses even universities teaching theology are more against your views than for your views or mine too (proof is Catholic + Orthodox numbers are greater). When I have set my mind that I could be wrong too in regard to prophecy interpretations, I take a cooler stance of presenting what I read from earliest Chiliasm Church Fathers by allowing opposite ideas and mixing with those Christians. It’s usually Christians like XXXX that get dogmatic since he is the one not interested in publishing ideas opposite to what he believes or majority of masses probably for sales reasons too. As you said, taking such strong stances on even a secondary issue like this affects the response from my side too but it wouldn’t matter to his side because usually the opinion of those with more numbers usually weighs more. So, what I’m saying is such statements of yours works both ways.
iv) We just need to be careful that our errors do not reach ‘false prophet’ levels and that’s avoided by claiming own Oracle instead of the “Lord told me so” as Jeremiah 23:36 allows.
This verse which almost sounds like a prophecy and states that sometimes the person who leaves the church could be more accurate doctrinally despite the ruling of the majority.
This is a clear proof of freewill practice which God has allowed even in the area of doctrinal accuracy in a Church agreeing to Christ . St. Clement of Rome writes,
“Who then among you is noble-minded? Who compassionate? Who full of love? Let him declare, If on my account sedition and disagreement and schisms have arisen, I will depart, I will go away wherever ye desire, and I will do whatever the majority commands; only let the flock of Christ live on terms of peace with the presbyters set over it. He that acts thus shall procure to himself great glory in the Lord; and every place will welcome him. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. These things they who live a godly life that is never to be repented of, both have done and always will do.” [St. Clement of Rome (died c. 99/100AD).1 Clement, Chapter 54. www.newadvent.org/fathers/1010.htm ]
Now, we know that Apostles and Prophets have zero prophecy error according to say Deuteronomy 18:20 – 22 Luke 6:22 – 23 reads, “22Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake. 23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, for in like manner their fathers did to the prophets” (NKJV).

Thank God. End.
A Defense of Non Elect Salvation Possibility (NESP) Journal Paper
Oh I did not realize those requirements. Perhaps they should allow papers based on its merit only regardless of a person’s background.
Examples: In Math, a lawyer by profession (Pierre De Fermat) did more significant discoveries in his time than actual phD or professors in Math from universities around him though they can do the discovered math better than him. Similarly, Ramanujan from India also exhibited new discoveries in Math who was recognized by the great mathematician of England Prof. Hardy himself.
I am not saying I’m like that but by these type of restrictions a discovery in theology can be thwarted or failed to be recognized. This subject area of theology is subjective and so, only God approves those right on Judgment day but a fair avenue based on merit of paper would demonstrate us fulfilling human laws of equality which is instrumental to faith in the Beatitudes as Christ Himself revealed things to “babes, uneducated men relatively compared to the religious scholars of his time” meaning in Christian theology, we ought to follow Christ likewise on this.
To determine whether something stated by an authour in theology & proved in a research paper with ancient quote viewed in that way is a “new discovery” or not is simple since, if no other scholar/writing ancient/modern has stated that view, then it is “new” and vice versa (this is the rarest type discovery as it could be with the “Non Elect Salvation Possibility” [1] writing). If it turns out as a wrong interpretation on Judgment day, let God decide that but it’s no fault on my side since it has been presented academically only as a “possibility” and not doctrine.
I know that these things are beyond your control and you have to just follow the set procedures but am just sharing my view regarding it. No worries. 🙂

A Defense of Chiliasm Prophecy Context in NESP Paper
Example: A Renown Christian Journal Paper wrote regarding NESP Paper (name withheld to protect privacy):
Comments from the editor and reviewers: Dear Mr. Ramachandran, Although this submission makes unique and interesting claims, it will be rejected for publication in XXX. The content is not really about XXX, which is our focus in XXX. I suggest submitting it into a Patristics journal. Although this news is unfortunate, please be assured that God is working through you, and that this paper will find the audience God is laying before you. God bless. (Note: My reply to that editor was ‘thank you for being honest’).
In the Bible, it is written “Do not despise prophecies” (1 Thessalonians 5:20, NKJV) and Chiliasm is relates to prophecies about Christ & Millennium and not ‘personal prophecies about exalting oneself and how one is going to be rich etc. in comparison’ & Christ already said in Matthew 11:25 that qualification is not an issue since “You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes”. I repeat, to determine whether something stated by an authour in theology & proved in a research paper with ancient quotes viewed in certain way is a “new discovery” or not is simple since, if no other scholar has stated that view, then it is “new” and vice versa (this is the rarest type discovery as it could be with the “Non Elect Salvation Possibility” writing). If it turns out as a wrong interpretation on Judgment day, let God decide that but it’s no fault on my side since it has been presented academically only as a “possibility” and not doctrine. Read first, argue later & let God decide in the end since this cannot be determined here. Note that I quoted many big names of ancient Christianity and Zero heretics.

FAQ Style Reply: Luxury living with Church & non-Church Money, Wife that will marry you when you’re rich only (not now when you’re poor & unsuccessful yet) to Personal Money usage
1) Bible schools charge money or for books or courses etc. is allowed for them to make a living. I agree that abuse is wrong.
2) However, who is abusing the money let God judge. But you must understand also that your supporters and your good-self when earning money from non-Christian things say from an e-wallet or secular job, the level of judgment is still the same since for a Christian, God owns all our money and not just the “Christian selling activities or charity money”.
3) This means if we live in luxury or if our wife lives in luxury with earthly money (like the rich man & Lazarus story), it’s still wrong. Just like you might eat a nice McD burger or some expensive type of food etc. once in a while, others can do it too and if you ate less than all others by fasting etc., let God reward you.
4) Example: Some Christians may do big book sales or collections but they don’t use it for family luxury but can say put it in fixed deposit (so the money is working and not hoarded) or in investments to finance their gospel preaching etc. In the end of life, they could write a will to give it back to a mix of family, ministry and charity meaning that’s a balanced way of doing things.
5) So, if someone uses the Christian sales or charity money for self-luxury etc. only, then you are right but if you or your family to be (e.g. wife) lives in luxury with money obtained from even secular work, then you’re equally condemned in principle. This applies to me too and that’s how we ought to be careful.
6) Don’t forget that those who agree with your views here themselves could be having nice secular income but never think that they have to live likewise in such continence and it’s not the duty of pastors etc. only. If they are doing it right, great! But all these we will only know on Judgment Day who lived right and may God have Mercy as per the threshold which only He knows and reward those who lived a better Christian in finance as well. Hope this clarifies.

Work & Life Principles – Serving God or Money? What did Lord Jesus Christ Teach?
1) Man made rules
Plenty of man-made rules which varies from one workplace to another. The measure we put pressure for performance or are lenient to mistakes in work in principle also determines the level of forgiveness vs judgment we receive from God (Christ’s parables of forgiving debts to workers etc. shows this in principle, e.g. Matthew 18:21 – 35, Luke16:16 – 9). Workers must get their task done and not use it as excuse to make more mistakes or exploit it either as then the verses judges them back fairly.
2) God’s Rule to prove whether we serve Him or Money is life lived with Charity Doctrine to make friends. Christ taught this here:
“9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous mammon,[112] so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. 10 “The one who is faithful in the least thing is also faithful in much, and the one who is unrighteous in what is least is also unrighteous in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,[113] who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can be a slave to two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot be slaves to God and to mammon.[114]” (Luke 16:9 – 13, UASV Bible)
[112] The Greek noun (μαμωνᾶς mamōnas; transliteration of an Aramaic word) refers to worldly wealth, riches regarded as an evil influence or false object of worship and devotion. – Mt 6:24; Lk 16:9, 11, 13.

3) God’s Rule for all money (not Church or charity money only but our income etc.) is to be converted into “treasure in heavens” as much as possible to “prove our heart” and not “seek God’s Kingdom, then never even write a will to give these money back to charity, ministry, church etc. but used only for family and luxuries”. Christ implied this below:
“30 For all these are the things the nations of the world are eagerly seeking, but your Father knows you need these things. 31 Instead, keep seeking his[92] kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your belongings and give gifts of mercy. Make money pouches that do not wear out, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief gets near, and no moth consumes. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Luke 12:30 – 33, UASV Bible)
