Download or read book God Has a Name written by John Mark Comer and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become. In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become. We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways. God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

Download or read book Sinners in the Presence of a Loving God written by R. Zachary Manis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would a perfectly good and loving God consign anyone to eternal suffering in hell? In Sinners in the Presence of a Loving God, R. Zachary Manis examines in detail the various facets of the problem of hell, considers the reasons why the usual responses to the problem are unsatisfying, and suggests how an adequate solution to the problem can be constructed. Historically, there are four standard explanations of the nature and purpose of hell: traditionalism, annihilationism, the choice model, and universalism. In Manis's assessment, all are deficient in some crucial respect. The alternative view that he develops and defends, the divine presence model, stands within the tradition that understands hell to be a state of eternal conscious suffering, but, Manis contends, avoids the worst problems of its competitors. The key idea is that the suffering of hell is not the result of a divine act that aims to inflict it, but rather is the way in which a sinful creature necessarily experiences the unmitigated presence of a holy God. Heaven and hell are not two "places" to which the saved and damned are consigned, respectively, but rather are two radically different ways in which different persons will experience the same reality of God's omnipresence once the barrier of divine hiddenness is finally removed.

Download or read book Close Encounters of Art and Physics written by Laura Pesce and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close Encounters of Art and Physics is a voyage in time through the abstract ideas harboured in the minds of humans, starting from the graffiti art of cave dwellers and extending to the street art of contemporary men and women. In seeking parallels with science, the author looks far back to the first geometric ideas of our ancestors as well as ahead to the contemporary science of present-day physicists. The parallelism and analogies between these two fields bear witness to a real entanglement in the human brain. The second part of the book contains about 25 colour images showing the author's stunning glass artwork representing ideas such as dark matter, quantum entanglement, cellular automata and many others that are almost impossible to capture in words. Furthermore, many of the physicists who have themselves made major contributions in these fields provide their comments and analysis of the works. The book provides entertaining and informative reading, not only for practicing artists and physicists, but also anyone curious about art and physics.

Download or read book Homer and His Iliad written by Robin Lane Fox and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “compelling and impressive” (Sunday Times) reassessment of the Iliad, uncovering how the poem was written and why it remains enduringly powerful The Iliad is the world’s greatest epic poem—heroic battle and divine fate set against the Trojan War. Its beauty and profound bleakness are intensely moving, but great questions remain: Where, how, and when was it composed and why does it endure? Robin Lane Fox addresses these questions, drawing on a lifelong love and engagement with the poem. He argues for a place, a date, and a method for its composition—subjects of ongoing controversy—combining the detailed expertise of a historian with a poetic reader’s sensitivity. Lane Fox considers hallmarks of the poem; its values, implicit and explicit; its characters; its women; its gods; and even its horses. Thousands of readers turn to the Iliad every year. Drawing on fifty years of reading and research, Lane Fox offers us a breathtaking tour of this magnificent text, revealing why the poem has endured for ages.

Download or read book A Sudden Glory written by Sharon Jaynes and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Download or read book Armageddon Close Encounters in the Fifth Kind written by Frederick Guttmann and published by Frederick Guttmann. This book was released on with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cómo cambiaría nuestra forma de ver el mundo si nos planteásemos que todos los estamentos de la sociedad serán pronto abolidos? ¿Veríamos la vida de la misma forma si diéramos lugar a la idea de que nuestra historia ha estado ligada a influencias que no son de este mundo? “Armagedón, Encuentros Cercanos en la Quinta Fase” es una obra que no pasará desapercibida, mucho menos delante de los acontecimientos que están ocurriendo, aunque el mundo no esté al tanto de ellos -porque está siendo distraído. Hablamos de un cambio a escala planetaria en la conciencia humana y del sistema de vida que tenemos, el destape de grandes y sumamente relevantes mentiras que han mantenido engañado al hombre del siglo XXI, y así mismo el inicio de una existencia libre, sólo posible tras una guerra sin precedentes. Nuestro mundo está a punto de tener los cambios más significativos de toda la historia humana, desde que se tiene constancia de ella. La vida extraterrestre es una realidad, tal como lo es el hecho de que sabremos toda la verdad sobre la vida fuera de la Tierra y los misterios del universo en esta década. El Nuevo Orden Mundial, del cual pocos han oído hablar -aún a estas alturas y con el terreno ya ganado por esos psicópatas en todos los medios globales- no conseguirá sus fines de eliminación poblacional y control totalitario, aunque conseguirán por un periodo muy breve de tiempo muchas de sus agendas. Toda la humanidad está al borde de un cambio de paradigma, no sin antes presenciar la experiencia de la vida extraterrestre inteligente, un mundo dominado por las corporaciones, dueños de la banca y de los oleoductos. Entonces el cambio será radical y no dejará lugar a dudas a más cuestionamientos, suposiciones o teorías sobre el origen del hombre y de la vida fuera de nuestro orbe azul; de igual modo que no habrá más medias tintas sobre el conocimiento y realidad de la existencia de Jesucristo, no como una religión sino como una realidad. Esta será una verdad inamovible que no está sujeta –ni nunca lo ha estado- a religiones, ni a dogmas, ni a espiritualismo, ni a teorías conspiratorias, ni a ciencia ficción, ni a fábulas, ni a cualquier otra creencia abstracta, sino al modernismo de esta centuria y a la revolución mundial que hoy nos atañe. Parece difícil reconciliar la imagen de aquel carpintero que fue clavado en una cruz junto con la ciencia, pero recordemos que los estamentos religiosos que conocemos son relativamente recientes y no fueron impuestos por Jesucristo. Sus enseñanzas aparecieron sobre el 26 y/o el 33 d.C. aprox., en cambio las posteriores fueron ciertamente tardías: Catolicismo (325 d.C.), Islam (600 d.C.), Protestantismo (inicios del siglo XIV) Mormonismo (mediados de 1800 d.C.), Testigos de Jehová (1870), etc. En otras palabras, las enseñanzas de Jesús no estuvieron sujetas a religiones “cristianas”, ya que estas se crearon en nombre de él siglos después, mayormente con fines lucrativos o de control de masas. Tengamos presente, antes que nada, que todas las profecías, que han venido de parte de Dios, hasta su momento se han cumplido y nada sugiere que las que aún han de cumplirse dejen de tener lugar; mucho menos cuando estamos viviendo las concisas advertencias que hicieron hombres modelo en tiempos antiguos, y además con lujo de detalles. Así que tenemos que citar a hombres de otrora para ver cómo se han dado los hechos que anunciaron y qué otros acontecimientos han de tener lugar en nuestra década y en los años que precederán nuestra era. Ciertamente cada vez podemos ver más cerca un final de esta edad y el inicio de una nueva historia para la civilización humana. Un cambio que se palpa y comenta en todos los círculos sociales y culturales. Este cambio viene acompañado de mucha incertidumbre, dudas sobre cómo será ese desenlace final y qué ocurrirá después de ello. La historia de nuestra raza se ha visto constantemente salpicada por grandes extinciones, donde nuestros antecesores han sido diezmados, eliminados tácitamente por sucesos catastróficos que han dado origen a nuevos eones. Así se ha visto en lejanas edades desde la prehistoria y así se ve hoy, muy próximos a experimentar eventos nunca antes vistos en ninguna etapa anterior de nuestro devenir como civilización. Como hijos de la Tierra hemos de conocer los hechos que han modelado nuestro presente y que han colocado a nuestra raza en el borde del colapso y de la aparente auto-extinción. Tenemos que ser conscientes de que tal como la arqueología nos sirve para revelar los acontecimientos de antaño, también han existido desde otrora métodos para vaticinar el tiempo por venir, y éstos han marcado hechos memorables en el registro histórico. Nosotros los llamamos “profecías”, y si bien, desde tiempos de la Grecia clásica los helenos consultaban el polémico oráculo de Delfos, el que se cree era el más preciso de todos, aunque se especuló que alguna vez se equivocó (más bien diríamos que dijo lo que sus consultores debían saber).
