Download or read book A Layman Investigates Universal Salvation written by Patrick Seamus O'Hara and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you know about universal salvation? What is its history? Have mistranslations of the Bible created an eternal hell that does not really exist? What prominent persons in Christian history taught this doctrine and which ones worked to destroy it? Is the teaching of universal salvation truly a heresy, or has it been suppressed by church leaders interested in controlling their people by fear? Patrick Seamus O’Hara needed answers to these questions. This book is the result of research in which he went back into Christian history to examine events leading to the suppression of this once-popular teaching in Christianity. Drawing from ancient writings, he looks at problems with Bible translations, political intrigues within the church, and the personal foibles of church leaders which led to the teaching of universal salvation disappearing from the Christian lexicon. The three main objections to universal salvation are the Fifth Ecumenical Council, the Bible, and the writings of the early church fathers. The author examines each one of these and shares from his research the reasons these are not legitimate objections. The universal salvation of God’s immense love is truly the good news of the gospel!

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Book excerpt: In today's world, it can be difficult to maintain your faith. Those seeking a greater understanding of the Bible have numerous excellent theological commentaries available to them, but due to volume and depth, many of these are out of reach of laypeople. Others lose contact with the Bible, because it no longer seems relevant to life. They use a superficial knowledge of science and evolution to exclude God and faith from their experiences. The Layman's Commentary: Volume 6-Book of the Acts of the Apostles presents a passage-by-passage explanation of the Book of the Bible known as Acts. In this sixth volume, author John Devine covers the activities of the disciples from the final days of the ministry of Jesus on earth to the birth of the Church. With the realization that salvation that comes by faith in Jesus Christ alone was not just for the Jewish people but for people of all nations, the message spread into Asia Minor and Europe, to Rome, centre of the then known world within the space of thirty years. From the sermons of Peter, Stephen and Paul the basic doctrine of the early Church is revealed as in the major creeds presenting the Christian Worldview. Evidence for the Historicity of Jesus is given.

Download or read book One Layman S Contemporary Theology written by Michael S. K. Toh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The credential of the author is based upon the fact that he is a trained psychologist, a biologist and a scientist; and has been in management/business fields for many years, having been exposed in all aspects of commerce and finance. He has a Master degree in Industrial Psychology from the University of Sydney, Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in psychology from Australian National University and a major in Biology from RMIT. Was awarded the 'Elizabeth and Martin Summit Prize in Psychology', an annual award given to the most outstanding student in Psychology at Sydney University. He has been teaching in a university for several years and was involved in politics for some time, but voluntarily chose to pursue a different path because of the incompatible sets of values that are required against what he believed in. He has a background of Buddhist and Confucian upbringing and was converted to being a follower of Jesus as a Catholic. However, he had been battling with what the churches taught and his knowledge and understanding in the fields of biology and psychology, new discoveries of physical sciences in which he was trained, against the background of his upbringing in a culture that was homogenous and has survived for more than 5000 years of history and his life experiences in the modern commercial materialistic world culture. He believes in doing Gods work in whatever circumstances he was placed, to be guided by the principles of what he believed Jesus has taught in establishing a consistent logical framework that is universal and more holistic, the result of which is the writing of this book. One of his greatest gifts is his ability to analyze things logically and he has been a good debater when he was at school. He has thus put all his thoughts down, gathered from his training, life experiences and his wide exposure in the modern world environment to establish an overall consistent logical framework in understanding the meaning of life in the order of things; and the role religion plays in assisting each individuals to achieve the universal objective of a salvation and the conflicts that are generated as a result of different derivatives of history and culture of the world.

Download or read book Getting the Gospel Right A Balanced View of Salvation Truth written by Carl Gordon Olson and published by Global Gospel Publishers. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and abridged edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theologyof Salvation, in Which theologian/missiologist Olson gives the fruit of a 25-year theological pilgrimage. His inductive focus on Scripture results in a middle view of salvation truth, thus resolving polarized extremes. This edition is much more readable and accessible for most Christians. The exegetical methodology emphasizes context, word studies, and grammar of all relevant passages, with extensive support for eternal security and refutation of deterministic concepts of salvation. In the foreword, Dr. Tim LaHaye refers to the incredible distribution of the academic edition, which sold out in 3 years. A revised academic edition is forthcoming in 2006.
