Download or read book Got Questions written by S. Michael Houdmann and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has questions. Young children ask “why?” Teenagers ask “why not?” Adults sometimes lament “what if?” The God who created us and who loves us has given us the answers to life’s most pressing questions in His Word. Yet many people have no idea that God has the answers and has made them available in the Bible. Whether it is a question about where we will spend eternity or how to deal with the pain of a broken relationship, you can be sure it has been asked and answered already on www.GotQuestions.org, the source for this book. Sadly, many individuals and ministries who offer advice are not biblically and theologically solid. That’s why Got Questions? is crucially needed—a resource that answers questions explicitly from a biblical perspective, with solid evangelical theology. Written in an easy-to-understand format and organized in easy-to-follow sections, Got Questions? will help readers find the answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding spiritual matters. The questions were asked by real people struggling through real-life issues who received solid, practical answers from the Bible. The articles in this volume are compiled from the more than 3,800 frequently-asked questions on our website, which are read over 7 million times each month. Some of the articles have been translated into 150 languages. Many books present teaching in a question-and-answer format, but few have delved into the questions that people are actually asking. Having received and answered more than 380,000 questions, Got Questions Ministries has a unique understanding of what questions are truly on people’s minds.

Download or read book Paratexts of the English Bible 1525 1611 written by Debora Shuger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English bibles, from Tyndale's 1525 New Testament to the 1611 King James, feature calendars, woodcuts, maps, chronologies, prayers, philological glosses, inset historical essays, elaborate multi-page diagrams, single-leaf summaries of scripture, prefaces by eminent churchmen, doctrinal notes by leading theologians, a dialogue on predestination, a twelfth-century genealogy of Christ, a ninth-century Jewish chronicle--most widely available, given the hundreds of editions printed between those dates. This book explores this archive, but it also tracks its changes, because while biblical translations remain relatively stable over time, the paratexts cocooning a bible's first printing sometimes mutate or vanish in succeeding editions--and indeed sometimes they migrate to a competing bible. These paratexts, together with their revelatory print histories, disclose a picture of the English Reformation that differs in striking ways from the authorized version.

Download or read book Theological Answers to Questions on Prayer written by D Patricka Ives and published by DPatricka Ives. This book was released on with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author The book covers discussions on prayer based on the theological views of some of the most important theologians and biblical scholars in the early church. The efficacy of Prayer has been the subject of several scientific research projects, debates, and conflicts for many years. “What sort of evidence would prove the efficacy of prayer?” Several studies have been generated as researchers try to discover the legitimacy of the belief that prayer is effective. The overall aim of the project is to investigate and explore the effectiveness of prayer; Discover who or what inspires prayer and what is the necessity of faith when we pray. I believe the efficacy of prayer is a reasonable subject of study and one which is appropriate for a person of faith or someone considering a vocation in Christian ministry. The evidence that would prove the efficacy of prayer begins with believing or having faith in God. This means that we decide to accept the teachings of Scripture without regard to reason or logic. The second point I would like to make regarding faith is that faith is a gift: Therefore, if anyone is to call upon the name of Jesus Christ, faith must be given to them. Faith is imparted by the Holy Spirit to the spiritually made-alive sinner. Acts 3 verse 16 says all faith in Christ is faith that has come from and through Christ. Hebrews 12 verse 2 says Jesus is the author and perfecter (finisher) of faith. The believer's faith must be anchored in Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:29 says it’s been “granted” unto us to believe in Jesus Christ. So, all faith in Christ originates in Christ Himself. He must grant this faith, and He grants it to those who have been chosen by God from before the foundation of the world. Second Peter 1:1 says faith must be given. ([email protected].) God will give revelation whenever and to whomever He chooses. As Christians living according to the word of God, this is a path that we must all walk in order to discover Christ’s plans for our lives. In fact, St. Paul, known as one of the greatest apostles of all times wrote: If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead, not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may apprehend that for which also, I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:7-14. We are changed, transformed daily by the word of God. There are several powerful two-word phrases found in the World as well as the word of God. Phrases such as: Healed all; gathered in; cast out; raised up and pulled down. Each of these phrases are used in context with the power of God. However, there is one phrase used 43 times in Scripture that causes my spirit to leap for joy every time I read it and that phrase is: “but God”. This small two-word phrase communicates a tremendous message to all who will hear it. It is God’s response to Satan’s challenge. It is the bottom line. It is the last word. It is all over, but the shouting. “But God,” when viewed in relation to the challenges of life, is what up is to down; life is to death; in is to out. Always remember that had it not been for this fact, we would be like ships without sail when faced with the storms of life. “But God” stands diametrically opposed to the negative roar of the world; for example, whenever the world says no – “God” says yes. The world says cannot – “but God, ” says you can. The world says you will not, but God says you will. The world says stop – “but God says go. The world says do not – “but God says do. The world says defeat -- but God says victory! But God” climbs the highest mountain; traverses the darkest valley; and sings songs of victory in the midnight hour to comfort His children. “Our God is an awesome God. He is courageous, confident and conclusive and this is how we need to be also!” Secondly, we should strive to be increasingly like Jesus. This means taking off the old man’s attributes or the old way of thinking, and putting the new character designed by God Himself. It means that each day should find us more reformed than the previous day, redesigned in the nature of your maker. You should never give up or give in if you believe in the power of God. It doesn't matter how difficult the challenges may become if you put your trust in God you will survive. I encourage you to keep on trusting God and believing that you will overcome all obstacles. Persevere, don't quit, keep trusting with your consistent faith. To persevere is to stay for the entire game, do not rush off, but wait until the last seconds of the clock tick; until the “home team” has had its chance because by faith you will receive your victory. I want to encourage and motivate with these words. At this moment it may seem that the jury may still be out, but that does not change the reality that God will work things in your favor. Nothing will work against you because no weapon formed against you will prosper. Nothing can ever separate you from the love of God. Nothing happens unless God says so and, in your situation, while all the votes seem to be in, relax because God has not had His final say yet. In the bible there are many mysteries, various instances where our adversary the devil is confounded and confused. There are stories of his elaborate schemes going amiss because he failed to realize that God would always have the final say. He had worked so hard to get everything exactly right, yet just when he thinks he is victorious, he hears “But God!” Remember that God is faithful in all things, and He will be gracious to you. Please know that God will grant you strength and always show you mercy. God takes the time to do everything right and all those who wait for him will renew their strength.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.

Download or read book Early Judaism written by Frederick E Greenspahn and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism drawing on primary sources and new methods Over the past generation, several major findings and methodological innovations have led scholars to reevaluate the foundation of Judaism. The Dead Sea Scrolls were the most famous, but other materials have further altered our understanding of Judaism’s development after the Biblical era. This volume explores some of the latest clues into how early Judaism took shape, from the invention of rabbis to the parting of Judaism and Christianity, to whether ancient Jews considered themselves a nation. Rather than having simply evolved, “normative” Judaism is now understood to be the result of one approach having achieved prominence over many others, competing for acceptance in the wake of the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in the year 70 CE. This new understanding has implications for how we think about Judaism today, as the collapse of rabbinic authority is leading to the return of the kind of diversity that prevailed during late antiquity. This volume puts familiar aspects of Judaism in a new light, exposing readers to the most current understanding of the origins of normative Judaism. This book is a must for anyone interested in the study of Judaism and its formation. It is the most current review of the scholarship surrounding this rich history and what is next for the field at large.

Download or read book Is Christianity True written by Jonathan Menn and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Christianity True? is an excellent resource for twenty-first-century Christians and non-Christians who want to investigate the truth-claims of Christianity. This book tackles the most important issues in a clear and compelling way. Part 1 looks at the trustworthiness of the Bible and at Jesus Christ, who claimed to be God incarnate. He verified his claim by his fulfillment of prophecy and his resurrection from the dead. Part 2 shows that the great alternative to Christianity—the belief that there is no God or supernatural realm and that the universe and all that exists do so simply by natural forces—not only is false but is impossible. Part 3 deals with perhaps the greatest challenge to Christianity, the “problem of evil,” i.e., if God is all knowing, all powerful, and all good, then why is there so much evil in the world? The book does not shy away from discussing up-to-date scientific knowledge and shows how this knowledge actually confirms the claims of Christianity. This book is a clear, yet challenging, explanation of the biblical, historical, philosophical, and scientific evidence which shows that, indeed, Christianity is true.
