Download or read book Adam Eve and the Devil written by Marjo C. A. Korpel and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors develop an intriguing theory about the Canaanite origin of the biblical traditions concerning the origin of the cosmos and the creation of humankind. Adam, Eve, and the Devil tells a new story about human beginnings and at the same time proposes a fresh start for biblical research into primordial traditions. A number of clay tablets from Ugarit, dating from the late thirteenth century BCE, throw new light, Korpel and de Moor argue, on the background of the first chapters of Genesis and the myth of Adam. In these tablets, El, the creator deity, and his wife Asherah lived in a vineyard or garden on the slopes of Mt Ararat, known in the Bible as the mountain where Noah's ark came to rest. The first sinner was not a human being, but an evil god called Horon who wanted to depose El. Horon was thrown down from the mountain of the gods, and in revenge he transformed the Tree of Life in the garden into a Tree of Death and enveloped the whole world in a poisonous fog. Adam was sent down to restore life on earth, but failed because Horon in the form of a huge serpent bit him. As a result Adam and his wife lost their immortality. This myth found its way into the Bible, the Apocrypha and the Pseudepigraphical literature, though it was often transformed or treated critically. Adam, Eve, and the Devil traces the reception of the myth in its many forms, and also presents the oldest pictures of Adam and Eve ever identified (one of them on the front cover of the book).
Download or read book WRATH OF EVE written by David W. Lowell and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eve is an eighteen-year-old spitfire in the Garden of Eden with an inverted moral compass and a comedically twisted view of the world. After having discovered a great truth about the universe from Satan, who calls himself Serpent, she decides to sneak into higher realms of consciousness and wants him to join her. He agrees, but part of the deal is that Eve reincarnates on Earth to perform a task for him first. After this last hurrah, which takes place in the ancient colony of Atlantis, he’ll gladly join her. However, her assignment ends up causing all of human civilization a tremendous amount of suffering. Despite fulfilling her end of the bargain, Serpent reneges on his promise. Feeling betrayed, Eve reincarnates on Earth once again, only this time seeking to serve God rather than Serpent. By this point on Earth, a powerful secret society has taken control of the world, and Eve will need the help of her human father to expose the group by hacking into worldwide media conglomerates. She should be cautious, though, because the people she has hurt in the past will show up now to torment her. Will she succeed in trying to expose the secret society? And will she ever be able to fully abandon Serpent, or will she seek vengeance against him for tricking her? [Contains some graphic violence, no romance].

Download or read book The Origin of Evil written by Chuck Missler and published by Koinonia House. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did Satan fall? We know that the angels were created prior to the Earth. We find Satan had already fallen in Genesis 3. The mystery is, when did he fall? It appears that there are substantial Scriptural references to his rebellion, his agenda, and the subsequent catastrophic judgment that ensued. This raises the whole issue of the origin of evil. And why hasn't God simply wiped him, and sin, out completely? It is also disturbing to recognize that Satan tempted Jesus by offering him the kingdom, power and the glory in the temptations recorded in Luke 5. How could Satan lay a legitimate claim to these?

Download or read book Bad Girls of the Bible written by Liz Curtis Higgs and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten of the Bible’s best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar. Women everywhere marvel at those “good girls” in Scripture–Sarah, Mary, Esther–but on most days, that’s not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they’re honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch of glimpse of Jezebel’s take-charge pride or Eve’s disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today’s modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires. So what’s a good girl to do? Learn from their lives, says beloved Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs, and choose a better path. Whether they were “Bad to the Bone,” “Bad for a Season, but Not Forever” or only “Bad for a Moment,” these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life. With her trademark humor and encouragement, Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these “other women” in Scripture with a solid, verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace. Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun! Includes Discussion Questions and Study Guide
Download or read book Humans written by Joseph Marie Luguya and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Volume One of "Humans, the Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants." "Humans" is riveting theology-fiction in which Christian Mjomba, a student of philosophy and theology with a runaway imagination, is determined to turn out a winning theological thesis. He is tempted to employ the devil, the Father of Lies who masquerades as the Angel of Light, as his mouthpiece for expounding on the Church's dogmas and he falls for bait! He imagines that, if he succeeds in bringing this off, he will effectively make Diabolos work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation! And for that, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a marked man. This is a theology-fiction fest in which the main character (Mjomba) dies and continues the dialogue on the other side of the gulf that separates the living from the dead! He doesn't discover that he had actually been demon-possessed for the better part of his life, starting from around the time he quit the seminary to return to lay life, until the moment he sees the Ruler of the Underworld, at the head of a column of demons, bearing down on him with the obvious intention of dragging him to his assigned dungeon in the belly of hell.
Download or read book When Did Eve Sin written by Jeffrey Niehaus and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Eve sin before Adam? When responding to the serpent's temptation to eat the forbidden fruit, Eve says that one "must not touch it" (Gen 3:2–3). In this, Eve appears to embellish upon God's clear command that one must not eat from the tree (Gen 2:17). Did Eve add to God's command, becoming the first legalist? Was this an innocent mistake? Or is the answer altogether different? Jeffrey J. Niehaus tackles this issue head-on in When Did Eve Sin? Though many commentators believe that Eve altered God's command, there are notable exceptions in the history of interpretation that suggest another answer. Using Scripture to interpret Scripture and analyzing biblical stories where characters retell the facts, Neihaus recognizes a common scriptural pattern that resolves the mystery of Eve's words. Niehaus examines his view's implications for biblical historiography, what it meant to eat from the tree of life, how a sinless being can fall into sin, and the nature of the mysterious serpent. Everyone engaging with these questions will be deftly guided by Niehaus' thorough study of this thorny issue.

Book excerpt: Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel... All in a day's work. For Evangeline Hollis, a long ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain. Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted into service to kill demons, Eve's learning curve is short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She's also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history... But she'll worry about all that later. Right now she's more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she'd never believed she had ... in S.J. Day's Eve of Darkness. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
