Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind was unprepared. The Event consisted of an outward physical sign accompanied by an interior experience. Darkness enveloped the Earth. A red star with a tail the color of blood orbited the Earth once in a span of fifteen minutes and then disappeared from the heavens. The sudden darkness and the comet were mysteries that could not be explained by the best scientific minds. Time had advanced, but all forms of motion were suspended. Those traveling in planes, automobiles, and other forms of modern transportation were stunned to realize that time had passed without any movement beyond their initial point of origin. They again began moving through space as soon as the Event had concluded.

Download or read book The Case Against Miracles written by John W. Loftus and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as the idea of "miracles" has been in the public sphere, the conversation about them has been shaped exclusively by religious apologists and Christian leaders. The definitions for what a miracles are have been forged by the same men who fought hard to promote their own beliefs as fitting under that umbrella. It's time for a change. Enter John W. Loftus, an atheist author who has earned three master's degrees from Lincoln Christian Seminary and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Loftus, a former student of noted Christian apologist William Lane Craig, got some of the biggest names in the field to contribute to this book, which represents a critical analysis of the very idea of miracles. Incorporating his own thoughts along with those of noted academics, philosophers, and theologians, Loftus is able to properly define "miracle" and then show why there's no reason to believe such a thing even exists. Addressing every single issue that touches on miracles in a thorough and academic manner, this compilation represents the most extensive look at the phenomenon ever displayed through the lens of an ardent nonbeliever. If you've ever wondered exactly what a miracle is, or doubted whether they exist, then this book is for you.

Yancey gently took away my blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and thought I heard him ask me, 'Now whom do you say that I am?' and I understood the question as I never had before." --Lewis B. Smedes, Senior Professor, Fuller Seminary "Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew, I became convinced that the Jesus I met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him more." --Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International

Were there strange things going around the sun, the moon changing degrees and phases, stars that aren't where there suppose to be and the magnetic poles changing mostly reported secretly in 2001-2011?

Several of the Bible prophecies predict God will not make a full end of the U.S., Israel and the world at this time and pockets of people and nations may or may not survive. God may save the U.S., Israel and the world if the people repent and turn from their sins and begin to humble themselves and heed the harbingers. But if they don't then these events may start to happen. This book was written by June 12, 2012.

Download or read book Fatima 2017 written by Paul De Marco and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating account of the revelations made by Our Lady to three children at Fatima in 1917. It documents the greatest miracle of modern history, the Miracle of the Sun on 13th October 1917 which was witnessed by 70,000 people. It covers the three secrets given and the handling by the Church and all the events are set in the context of World history. Our Lady cautioned that if her requests were not met then the World would suffer a war more terrible than World War I. She said that the sign that this war was imminent would be a night illumined by an unknown light and this miracle happened on 25th January 1938, just 6 weeks before Hitler annexed Austria. The book covers the assassination attempt on John Paul II and how he was convinced that Our Lady had intervened to save him, which prompted him to finally release the text of the 3rd secret, 83 years after it had been given to Lucia dos Santos. The book shows that the message of Fatima was not just for 1917, but that it's a very real warning for us today.

Download or read book Defending Sin written by Hans Madueme and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflict between the natural sciences and Christian theology has been going on for centuries. Recent advances in the fields of evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, and neuroscience have intensified this conflict, particularly in relation to origins, the fall, and sin. These debates are crucial to our understanding of human sinfulness and necessarily involve the doctrine of salvation. Theistic evolutionists have labored hard to resolve these tensions between science and faith, but Hans Madueme argues that the majority of their proposals do injustice both to biblical teaching and to long-standing doctrines held by the mainstream Christian tradition. In this major contribution to the field of science and religion, Madueme demonstrates that the classical notion of sin reflected in Scripture, the creeds, and tradition offers the most compelling and theologically coherent account of the human condition. He answers pressing challenges from the physical sciences on both methodological and substantive levels. Scholars, pastors, students, and interested lay readers will profit from interacting with the arguments presented here.
