Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone struggles to find explanations for their suffering. Dr. Paul Enns answers several tough, critical questions that all revolve around this central quandary of "why." Why does God allow suffering? Is suffering the result of judgment for sin? Are there even explanations for the terrors and trials we face? Dr. Enns brings answers from Scripture and from his experience as a professor and pastor, and a wounded one at that. More than anything, he brings comfort and clarity to people who are desperate for it.

Download or read book Understanding Abnormalities in Biblical Figures written by Guido Baltes and published by Abo Akademi University. This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Bible and its environment there are frequent references to the extraordinary states of mind of Biblical figures: Adam, Abraham, David, Deborah, Delilah, Samson, Saul and many others. Based on Hebrew anthropology, the texts of Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament reflect the question: How do human beings and the mind relate to one another? Influenced by the anthropology of the great philosophical schools of Platonism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism, the idea that humankind is best understood anthropologically within the framework of a body-soul dichotomy or a body-soul-spirit/mind trichotomy was also gaining a foothold in Judaism. Church fathers predominantly assume that the biblical heroes integrated by God into the history of salvation are also models of morality, they are particularly challenged by the texts in which deviant behavior is described. The question thus also opens up an ethical dimension to the history of biblical reception. Fifteen scholars examine the tension between normality and deviance in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament as well as in their reception in Second Temple Judaism and patristic literature. It becomes clear that the ideas expressed in these texts about deviant behavior are primarily influenced by changes in anthropological and theological assumptions. The authors adapt the tradition to the contemporary understanding of normality and deviance to reach their rhetorical aim to convince the reader about their interpretations of the Biblical figures.

Download or read book Biblical Anomalies written by Bill Mitchell and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of the author is to provide a bold new look at interpreting what is written in the Bible so that an understanding of the Truth can be achieved in spite of the anomalies that are prevalent throughout. As a child the author's teaching proclaimed that the Bible was inerrant, some even said that it had been handed down by God and thus was perfect. With growth and development of an engineer's mind, a mind that searches and analyzes in seeking logical explanations, the anomalies could no longer be ignored because they obfuscated the Truth. Ergo, it became necessary to provide examples, and suggestions for consideration, of various places in the Bible where discrepancies exist. Greater emphasis is given to the life of Jesus although some examples from the Old Testament are given. The Epistles of the apostles have not been included in this review.

Download or read book Mental Health and the Church written by Stephen Grcevich, MD and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church across North America has struggled to minister effectively with children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions and their families. One reason for the lack of ministry is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health outreach and inclusion. In Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions, Dr. Stephen Grcevich presents a simple and flexible model for mental health inclusion ministry for implementation by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. The model is based upon recognition of seven barriers to church attendance and assimilation resulting from mental illness: stigma, anxiety, self-control, differences in social communication and sensory processing, social isolation and past experiences of church. Seven broad inclusion strategies are presented for helping persons of all ages with common mental health conditions and their families to fully participate in all of the ministries offered by the local church. The book is also designed to be a useful resource for parents, grandparents and spouses interested in promoting the spiritual growth of loved ones with mental illness.

Download or read book God Heals Birth Defects written by Andy Hayner and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revolutionary book, you will discover solid Biblical truth that demonstrates beyond all doubt that God doesn't cause birth defects- He HEALS them! You will also read firsthand testimonies written by parents from around the world who are seeing God heal their children from diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, autism, and down syndrome. You will read of: Doctors amazed by disappearing defects Children moved to normal classes because they no longer qualify as "special needs" Organs, bones, facial features, and muscles restored to normal function Families restored to joy and peace by the truth of God's grace. If you are looking for hope and practical Biblical answers that will empower you to minister healing to those afflicted with birth defects, then this is the book is for you! This book is not written for the unbeliever, naysayers, and critics. This book is written for the parents who have a child diagnosed with birth defect and know that God offers the hope of healing and need encouragement for their faith. Genetic birth defects such as down syndrome are by medical definition a disease and Jesus heals diseases. This book is a solid reminder to each of us who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ that Jesus is who he said he is. Now He lives inside of those who truly believe in Him to do His same mighty works. This is not just about healing birth defects. It's about rediscovering who you truly are, Christian, now that you've been born again. The Word of God says, "But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him." Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." When the church realizes that she is not without power against birth defects, she will arise out of her subdued apathy. It starts by believing the gospel above your experience and above your circumstances. In addition to solid Biblical teaching, this book is filled with testimonies from parents from around the world with whom were are personally in contact who have discovered these truths and have begun to act on them. Yet they are only a glimpse of the testimonies from parents who are ministering healing to their own children and each other's children diagnosed with birth defects. This book is merely "first fruits," evidence of a much greater harvest that is ripe and still to come. God is raising up a worldwide army that is rallying together for a simple reason- that the Lamb of God receive the reward for which He suffered at the whipping post in the lives of every person, especially those who were born with birth defects. An avalanche of miracles is beginning to rumble through the earth as children diagnosed with down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and other birth defects are being healed before our eyes. We want to give parents and grandparents the book that we wish someone would have given to us the moment our child was born diagnosed with a birth defect. We want the church to wake up and realize that what Jesus' suffering at the whipping post applies to children born with defect. We have written this book to inspire, challenge, and empower you to see your child healed through the power, love, and authority of Jesus Christ. This book represents the first fruits of real, present day experiences of divine healing of birth defects. We offer it as an encouragement to those who are courageous enough to believe that Jesus Christ wants to work through you to free the captives and to liberate those oppressed with birth defects.

Download or read book The God Anomaly written by C. Follett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The GOD Anomaly is the world's first and only Christian hypothesis based on four of the leading institutions of historical knowledge; scientific evidence, global historical data, Hebrew writings of the Old Testament and the four gospels of the New Testament. Current Christian doctrine is based only upon the literal interpretation of the Old and New Testaments, ignoring all other external sources of knowledge. This narrow biblical view has created a huge chasm between science and religion, which has alienated evolutionists from creationists in a hopeless stalemate. The GOD Anomaly sheds new light on the Bible's true message by solving the mysteries of the Old Testament, which has puzzled theologians for centuries. Learn the breathtaking truth about answers to the fundamental questions of our human existence . . . Where did we come from? . . . Where are we going? The moment of truth has come . . . WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charts a faithful theological middle course through complex sexual issues How different are men and women? When does it matter to us -- or to God? Are male and female the only two options? In Sex Difference in Christian Theology Megan DeFranza explores such questions in light of the Bible, theology, and science. Many Christians, entrenched in culture wars over sexual ethics, are either ignorant of the existence of intersex persons or avoid the inherent challenge they bring to the assumption that everybody is born after the pattern of either Adam or Eve. DeFranza argues, from a conservative theological standpoint, that all people are made in the image of God -- male, female, and intersex -- and that we must listen to and learn from the voices of the intersexed among us.
