Download or read book The Doctrine of the Doors A Bible Based Study of the Portals of Heaven and Hell written by Matthew S Crane and published by Matthew S Crane. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind’s technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Things that were regarded a hundred years ago as fanciful imaginations are now a part of our everyday lives. Modern evolutionary science would argue that man is currently at his highest potential, yet the Bible paints a very different picture and indicates that shortly after the flood of Noah, human ingenuity reached its pinnacle…and God Himself had to stop it. Through careful and thorough study of the Scriptures, this book will display to the reader the blueprints of God’s universe, the secret passageways that He built into it and how beings from the spiritual realm can enter into the physical realm…….and visa versa. Once one begins to understand “the Doctrine of the Doors”, the diabolical purpose of the massive Tower of Babel comes into full view. The greatest existential threat the human race has ever seen since the Flood (circa 2348 B.C.) did not come in the form of a bomb, or in the form of a weoponized virus; it came in the form of a tower that was being assembled in a plain of the land of Shinar over 4,000 years ago. Humanity is getting closer and closer to discovering the knowledge that they once possessed. It will not be long before it is understood that “the truth” is not “out there”, but rather “right here”, and that the SKY really is the limit.

Download or read book Earth Door Sky Door written by Robert Powell and published by Serindia Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural paintings in watercolour from the Himalayan kingdom of Mustang in northern Nepal - the subject of a major travelling exhibition - are presented here in all their beauty and originality. The artist's work on Mustang began in 1992 and continuted over six years. This close association has allowed him to present the essence and heart of Mustang's architecture and man-made structures. Within this forbidding country, dry, dramatic and overwhelming in scale, humans have been able to create islands of habitation through the careful control of water. The structures built to maintain these islands, and to thrive, are the subjects of the paintings. Virtually every built object in Mustang bears the signs of ritual activity: from pre-historic hand-dug cave systems to ruined hilltop castles, from densely clustered villages to isolated temples, from propitiatory stacks of yak horns to the sophisticated cosmology of the chortens. This book presents in colour 43 paintings by Robert Powell.
Download or read book The Two Doors of Heaven written by John Bolin and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this evangelistic book, John Bolin follows a fiction-meets-nonfiction approach to lead readers to a surprising encounter with Jesus—as they ponder the reality of heaven and how to get there. The Two Doors of Heaven begins with an extended story of Jack, a guynext- door kind of person who is killed in a freak accident while sitting at a coffee shop. He awakes in the afterlife and is taken on a journey toward his moment of judgment before God. Along the way he meets several people who help him unravel life’s meaning. The second part of the book is like a personal conversation with the author. Bolin anticipates the questions and reflections readers have and helps them explore the real issues faced in regard to the two doors of heaven. “Every one of us has a reason— for what we do, for where we end up…” Journey with a man named Jack to the other side of eternity. After dying in a freak accident, he enters the afterlife with four others. In this new, hyper-real existence, they each see a vivid replay of their lives, complete with answers to haunting questions. Then comes the startling truth about what happens next. Two doors appear. One leads up. The other…down. Which will it be? Jack’s inevitable destiny echoes the choices he made on earth. What if you could control where you’re headed? Maybe you can. Find out what the two doors of heaven reveal for you… Story Behind the Book “In The Two Doors of Heaven, I want to lead non-Christians down the pathway toward a genuine encounter with Jesus. I want to catch their attention, then capture their hearts. My sense is that people today are increasingly haunted by questions about the life after this one. Vast numbers of them are not suppressing the issue of what eternity will mean for them personally, but are actively exploring it (as evidenced by the sales of books like The Five People You Meet in Heaven ). They sense that what they do and think and believe today has a definite connection with getting into heaven—but they’re by no means clear about it.”

Download or read book At Heaven s Door written by William J. Peters and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brilliant and fascinating” (Eben Alexander, MD, author of Proof of Heaven) exploration—rich with powerful personal stories and convincing research—of the many ways the living can and do accompany the dying on their journey into the afterlife. In 2000, end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt himself floating midair, completely out of his body. The patient, who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment, Peters felt himself return to his body…but his patient never regained consciousness and died. Perplexed and stunned by what had happened, Peters began searching for other people who’d shared similar experiences. He would spend the next twenty years gathering and meticulously categorizing their stories to identify key patterns and features of what is now known as the “shared crossing” experience. The similarities, which cut across continents and cultures and include awe-inspiring visual and sensory effects, and powerful emotional aftershocks. The book is filled with “moving and tender” (Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of A Path with Heart) tales of spouses seeing their loved ones reach the other side after decades together and bereaved parents who share their children’s entry into the afterlife. Applying rigorous research, Peters digs into the effects of these shared crossing experiences impart—liberation at the sight of a loved one finding joy, a sense of reconciliation if the relationship was fraught—and explores questions like: What can explain these shared death experiences? How can we increase our likelihood of having one? What do these experiences tell us about what lies beyond? And, most importantly, how can they help take away the string of death and better prepare us for our own final moments? How can we have both a better life and a better death?

Download or read book The Doors of the Sea written by David Bentley Hart and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God s power or God s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God if such exists allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle between the rebellious powers that enslave the world and the God who loves it wholly.
