Download or read book Escape from Apostasy written by Mischa S. Safdie and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible prophecy warns us of a time of rampant false teaching entering the organized Christian Church. These prophecies warn of a time of teachers, ministers and believers alike being taken captive by spirits of deception and doctrines of demons. It speaks of a time that there will be a great falling away and departure from the true foundation faith provided in the Word of God. That time has arrived. In a time of great falling away from true Biblical doctrine and practice, this book is designed to bring the cross of Jesus Christ and Christian message as it was intended, back to the Church and to all Christian believers. The book covers everything from defining the true born again experience to how we walk after we are born again. Evangelist and Pastor Mischa Safdie' discusses much of the error in many misled individuals in society who "profess" to be Christians but really are not, and that of many modern day organized churches now and he provides a scriptural solution, as well as wisdom, direction and prevention from following apostate teachers today, thereby entering into apostasy and deception oneself. He discusses the dangers of "A New Cart" ministry versus "The Word of the Cross of Jesus Christ. This book is based on scriptural foundation and not solely the opinions of the author, as so many other publications are today. Mischa S. Safdie' Ministries believes this book is a "must read" for all end time Christians, ministers, other believers and those that desire to know what a true walk with Jesus Christ is really all about. The Bible is not outdated. The wheel does not need to be reinvented. God knew what He was doing when He gave His written Word to the world. Now, we must rise up as a spiritual army, as defenders of the cross of Jesus Christ and reclaim what the enemy has taken!
Download or read book Divine Humility written by Matthew A. Wilcoxen and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is all-powerful. God is all-knowing. God is ever-present. But is God humble? Though the answer may seem obvious, humility is rarely identified as one of God?s attributes. Christianity has traditionally emphasized an array of divine attributes centering around omnipotence. In Divine Humility, Matthew Wilcoxen attempts to supplement traditional study of the godhead by focusing on God?s humility. Wilcoxen first examines how to refer properly to God?s being. Contending with those who say that human concepts cannot communicate God?s being at all, Wilcoxen articulates an account of theological concepts that holds together simultaneously both God?s objectivity?that he is "for us"?and God?s subjectivity?that he remains yet totally free. Wilcoxen argues that the concept best positioned to achieve this objective is humility, which, in the Christian tradition, has been considered the paragon of virtues and should thus fittingly be attributed to God?s character. Wilcoxen next explores divine humility through the work of three different theologians?Augustine, Karl Barth, and Katherine Sonderegger. Augustine, Wilcoxen argues, ascribes humility to God in a tantalizing way, but fails to explain further its doctrinal implications. Karl Barth articulates a more developed doctrine of divine humility by linking God?s divine being to his redemptive work. But Barth?s account ultimately suffers because it flatly equates humility with obedience and divides the divine will into the separate entities of the Father and the Son. It is the recent work of Katherine Sonderegger that best articulates an account of divine humility that carries forward Augustine?s mantle and overcomes the problems in Barth?s account. By connecting God?s humility to divine energy, Sonderegger shows how God can be near to creation without overwhelming it. Ultimately, Wilcoxen contends that humility?s importance as a divine attribute indicates that it should be fully considered in any Christian doctrine of God. Divine Humility serves as an important reminder to Christians that God, as powerful as He is, is also a God of great magnanimity and love.
Download or read book The Great Apostasy written by James Edward Talmage and published by Binker North. This book was released on 1909 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History is a 1909 book by James E. Talmage that summarizes the Great Apostasy, Mormon doctrine, from the viewpoint of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage wrote his book with the intention that it be used as a teaching tool within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The book is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History. Both writers borrowed heavily from the writings of Protestant scholars who argued that Roman Catholicism had apostatized from true Christianity. Talmage's book has been described as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint views of the Great Apostasy.

Download or read book The Signature of Jesus written by Brennan Manning and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2004-07-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Signature of Jesus challenges the gospel of "cheap grace" and calls the church to radical discipleship. With passion and boldness, author Brennan Manning invites readers to risk living life as Jesus lived—committed to simplicity, purity of heart, and obedience to the gospel. As a radical alternative this book is offered to Christians who want to live by faith and not by mere “religion,” for those who recognize that many of the burning theological issues in the church today are neither burning nor theological; who see Christianity neither as a moral code or a belief system but as a love affair; who have not forgotten that they are followers of a crucified Christ; who know that following him means living dangerously; who want to live the gospel without compromise; who have no greater desire than to have his signature written on the pages of their lives. “Behold,” Jesus proclaims, “I stand at the door and knock.” You may have already met him at the door…but do you truly know him? Have you been transformed by His furious, passionate, unexplainable love? Join Brennan Manning, the bestselling author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, on a personal journey to experience Christ’s love and live with His passion.
Download or read book Apostate Christianity written by Karl Sawyer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostate Christianity is a term used to denote a religion that has turned away from doing the good works of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus Christ uses the term "Lukewarm" to describe the apostate works of Christianity. His remedy for the church to escape their apostate condition is to repent. The question for the church leaders then arises "What sin do we have to repent of? The answer to this question lies in the root cause of their apostasy which is that very doctrine they believe in for their salvation which produces these apostate works. Repenting of a doctrine one believes in for their salvation appears to be, in and of itself, apostasy. This makes it extremely difficult for the church to turn away from. However, if the church has faith to believe that this doctrine is false then they will be able to escape the deception contained in it for those that they can save through their repentance. This is the work of Christ. The founding doctrine of Christianity is faith in the work of Christ on the cross, in shedding his innocent blood, for their salvation. This book will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this doctrine of blood is that doctrine Christ calls on the church to repent of because it unjustly imputes the sin of his crucifixion upon sinners, in that their sins "nailed Christ to the cross." This is a concept that is not from Christ because he never taught it because he came to save sinners, not condemn their innocent blood for a work they had nothing to do with.

Book excerpt: The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

The battle for truth is raging, and this book reveals: The pitfalls of postmodern thinking Why the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawed Past skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the Church The importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern society How to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches "[The postmodern age] is the age of no truth, an age that has reached a point of deadly fatigue when it comes to facing the truth?a generation that no longer believes truth can be known. Dr. John MacArthur knows better, and he is armed with the courage to confront this age with a bold defense of truth. . . . His argument is compelling, his defense of truth is brilliant, and his concern for the church is evident on every page. The evangelical church desperately needs this book, and it arrives just in time." --R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Book excerpt: Those who say "Rapture before Tribulation" are in effect saying "peace and safety"! And therefore, you being a foolish virgin, with not enough oil to light your lamp for the breaking of the first six seals, shall these same seal judgments come upon you for your destruction, "...suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child and they shall not escape", I Thessalonians 5:3. Can you put your finger on the order of events Christ gives us in Matthew 24:3-31? See also the Apostasy and the "man of lawlessness", both come before the rapture. Read: II Thessalonians 2:3. See order of events: Daniel chapter 12, Revelation chapters 6, 7, 13 and 14. Remember, there is only one harvest or rapture. Make ready ye saints in this; "The Laodicean Apostate Church". We must pass through the tribulation for the trying of our faith; for the separating of the wheat from the tares, or the five wise from among the five foolish virgins.

Download or read book I Was Blind But Now I See written by Ahmed Abaza and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MILKWEED PROPHESY;EPITAPH OF THE APOCALYPSE, is an incredible and in-depth explanation of not only the Apocalypse, but told from an an actual "involvement" where the author herself ensplenders her own emotional framework in a manner of religious literature that has never been captured before. All of these events were based solely upon the Professor's lifetime of visions and actual "visitations' and apparitions and actual visitations of Mary, the Mother of God, and actual accounted events that have been witnessed by credible people. This book of uncommon insights will starled the mind, and very heart of the reader, as he is taken on horseback into the actual Apocalypse, and stares face to face with the Devil himself-LUCIFER! The near possesion this young author claims boldly, as this was also documented and witnessed, but the literal "protection" from God saved Milkweed after her only suicide attempt. This book powerfully illustrates what it is truely like to be a believer, but one who is chosen long ago to understand and to teach, and even now fooling her medical doctors and living well beyond her expected time alotted to her, but still extremely deteriorated from this catastrophic termainl illness that plagues her mysterious life. This work, "divinely" inspired, is highly reccommended for anyone who truely wants and needs to know about the Book of God's Revelations, as well as about himself. This same remarkible book of stunning words translate themselves likend to the Bible, as the author clearly defines herself, but without ever in abruption of the eternal glory of God. Her impressive artwork, as well as photography, is also here to enlighten and illuminate the mind, and to hopefully make all understand the truth of God's Kingdom, and the ultimate sacrifice; the cricifixion and dereliction of our God-Jesus the Christ!

Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture--and a whole new way of thinking--turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.
