Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the shocking truth: Jesus was a zealot who wanted to be King of Israel. The apostles and disciples were members of his family, by blood and by marriage, and they went on to wage a war against Rome. Far from converting, Saul, the false apostle, remained malicious and vindictive to the end. Saul invented Christianity, borrowing the rituals of a pagan religion, Mithraism. The gospels are a deliberately scrambled version of Jewish zealot propaganda with characters, who were Jewish warriors, stolen and subverted by Christian writers.

Book excerpt: Examining How Saul the Murderer Became Paul the Martyr Author Combines Bible, Historical Fact, and Fiction to Craft a Scenario of How the World's First Terrorist Became One of the World's Greatest Christians The man who was once the greatest intentional murderer of Christians, "the first terrorist," was so completely changed by God that he became one of the greatest Christians of all time, eventually becoming a martyr for his faith in Jesus Christ. That man, the Apostle Paul, is the subject of author Jack Minter's new book, Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist. "I believe readers will find this a book of intrigue," said Minter. "I've blended biblical text and historical data, as well as fictional scenarios, to provide readers with a map of how Saul became the Apostle Paul, one who spread the gospel of Jesus Christ at the risk of his own life following Jesus's crucifixion." Saul of Taurus: The First Terrorist also shows the similarities and differences between Jesus and Saul that could have led to Saul's murderous vengeance of early Christians. "When writing about Paul, I wondered how he could be that forgiven of such atrocities by God, much less be that changed as a person to abandon his hatred and become a follower of Jesus Christ," said Minter.Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist is a study in contrasts and a thought-provoking novel that will have readers diving into the Bible with a new perspective. Today's world is still filled with terrorists who persecute Christians for their faith or due to intolerance of their beliefs. Saul took the lead as the first terrorist, but he was also so completely changed by Jesus that, as Paul, he became one of the most powerful Christians of all time.Minter also takes a look at a fictional account of how Jesus and Paul could have potentially known one another long before they met as adults on the Road to Damascus.According to Minter, this possibility opens a new way of understanding how Paul grew to become one who despised and murdered Christians out of pure hatred and vengeance. "If you examine Paul's upbringing in the Jewish faith, as well as Jesus's, you see that it's quite possible that their paths crossed well before that eventful day on the Road to Damascus when Paul encountered Jesus and turned from the greatest hater of Christians into a Christian himself."For more information and to purchase Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist, please visit www.JackMinter.com.

Download or read book Jesus on Death Row written by Prof. Mark Osler and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the most infamous criminal proceeding in history--the trial of Jesus of Nazareth--have to tell us about capital punishment in the United States? Jesus Christ was a prisoner on death row. If that statement surprises you, consider this fact: of all the roles that Jesus played--preacher, teacher, healer, mentor, friend--none features as prominently in the gospels as this one, a criminal indicted and convicted of a capital offense. Now consider another fact: the arrest, trial, and execution of Jesus bear remarkable similarities to the American criminal justice system, especially in capital cases. From the use of paid informants to the conflicting testimony of witnesses to the denial of clemency, the elements in the story of Jesus' trial mirror the most common components in capital cases today. Finally, consider a question: How might we see capital punishment in this country differently if we realized that the system used to condemn the Son of God to death so closely resembles the system we use in capital cases today? Should the experience of Jesus' trial, conviction, and execution give us pause as we take similar steps to place individuals on death row today? These are the questions posed by this surprising, challenging, and enlightening book

Download or read book Terror to Triumph written by Dwight E. Vilhauer and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground..." If you could view this world through the eyes of God Himself, how much more might you understand? How much wiser would you be? If you could know God's heart, how might your heart be changed? We are living through one of the most tragic events in world history. September 11 will forever stand as a new benchmark for evil in this world. At the first year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Dwight Vilhauer offers an insightful and reflective look at these tragic events, in his new book, TERROR to TRIUMPH; A Christian Perspective On 9-11. The events of September 11 have raised anew those challenging questions dealing with the problem of evil in the world. How can it coexist with God's love? As the author points out, "We continue to struggle with the problem of evil because it repeatedly challenges trust in our Creator as a God of love. September 11 is the latest, and perhaps one of the most profound examples of how evil can shake our faith to its core. We need to hear God's voice now more than ever, for strength and healing. At this turbulent and spiritually challenging point in time, when our ears have been filled with evil's threatening voice and news of terror reverberates unceasingly from every corner of the media, God still speaks. If we take time to listen to His voice, amidst all the noise and confusion, we will find solid foundational answers to our many questions." In TERROR to TRIUMPH, Dwight Vilhauer leads you back to God's comforting voice where peace and rest are found. Discover how God works in a multitude of ways, through evil's great onslaught, to guide us, protect us, and lead us to ultimate victorywhenever the day of evil comes. TERROR to TRIUMPH is built upon eight insights that provide a basis for exploring how God works through the evil in this world to accomplish greater ends. Historical events from the Bible, and the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ, are employed as launching points to explain how God's past victories over evil have direct application to victories that can be realized today. However, the book is not just about September 11. As the author observes, "It's really about how to deal with tragedy whenever the day of evil comes, and in whatever way it enters a person's life. My goal was to help people view the world through the eyes of God Himself and to become one with Him in understanding and purpose. I believe that is how the greatest victory over evil is realized." From this vantage point, the reader is able to view issues of good vs. evil from a unique and spiritually edifying perspective. The result is an extremely refreshing and spiritually uplifting experience.

Download or read book Terror in the Name of God written by Jessica Stern and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four years, Jessica Stern interviewed extremist members of three religions around the world: Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Traveling extensively—to refugee camps in Lebanon, to religious schools in Pakistan, to prisons in Amman, Asqelon, and Pensacola—she discovered that the Islamic jihadi in the mountains of Pakistan and the Christian fundamentalist bomber in Oklahoma have much in common. Based on her vast research, Stern lucidly explains how terrorist organizations are formed by opportunistic leaders who—using religion as both motivation and justification—recruit the disenfranchised. She depicts how moral fervor is transformed into sophisticated organizations that strive for money, power, and attention. Jessica Stern's extensive interaction with the faces behind the terror provide unprecedented insight into acts of inexplicable horror, and enable her to suggest how terrorism can most effectively be countered. A crucial book on terrorism, Terror in the Name of God is a brilliant and thought-provoking work.

Christian Terrorism Is On the Rise, Consequently, those Who Deny Christian Terrorism Are Also Increasing. Denying Christian Terrorism is Tantamount to Condoning and Enabling Murderers Killing For Jesus. Churches Don't Condemn or Acknowledge Christian Terrorism because of Shame and Embarrassment, like the Catholic church international terrorism towards children by priests. The Catholic Church Spent Decades and Millions Denying and Covering Up Christian Terrorism Against Children By Priests. Despite Being One of the Richest Institutions in the World, The Catholic Church Spent Decades Trying to Avoid Paying Retribution to the Terrorized Children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Riveting, inspiring, at times hard to believe but utterly true...it gives some measure of hope in these rancorous times." -- John Grisham As an ordinary high school student in the 1960s, Tom Tarrants became deeply unsettled by the social upheaval of the era. In response, he turned for answers to extremist ideology and was soon utterly radicalized. Before long, he became involved in the reign of terror spread by Mississippi's dreaded White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, described by the FBI as the most violent right-wing terrorist organization in America. In 1969, while attempting to bomb the home of a Jewish leader in Meridian, Mississippi, Tom was ambushed by law enforcement and shot multiple times during a high-speed chase. Nearly dead from his wounds, he was arrested and sentenced to thirty years in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman Farm. Unrepentant, Tom and two other inmates made a daring escape from Parchman yet were tracked down by an FBI SWAT team and apprehended in hail of bullets that killed one of the convicts. Tom spent the next three years alone in a six-foot-by-nine-foot cell. There he began a search for truth that led him to the Bible and a reading of the gospels, resulting in his conversion to Jesus Christ and liberation from the grip of racial hatred and violence. Astounded by the change in Tom, many of the very people who worked to put him behind bars began advocating for his release. After serving eight years of a 35-year sentence, Tom left prison. He attended college, moved to Washington, DC, and became copastor of a racially mixed church. He went on to earn a doctorate and became the president of the C. S. Lewis Institute, where he devoted himself to helping others become wholehearted followers of Jesus. A dramatic story of radical transformation, Consumed by Hate, Redeemed by Love demonstrates that hope is not lost even in the most tumultuous of times, even those similar to our own. "As a kid in Mississippi in the late 1960's, I remember the men of our church discussing the Klan's bombing campaign against the Jews. The men did not disapprove. Later, I would use this fascinating chapter of civil rights history as the backdrop for my novel The Chamber. Now, one of the bombers, Thomas Tarrants, tells the real story in this remarkable memoir. It is riveting, inspiring, at times hard to believe but utterly true, and it gives some measure of hope in these rancorous times." --John Grisham "Dramatic...Simply astonishing...Essential reading for these times. If you want to understand how the evil of extremist thought works--and how the gospel of God’s grace can overcome it--read this book." --Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker, lead pastor of National Community Church "Amazing...Gives hope for what God can do." --Dr. John Perkins, president emeritus, John Perkins Foundation; co-founder emeritus, Christian Community Development Association "A riveting narrative." --Russell Moore, president, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention "This gripping and inspiring story is as timely as today’s headlines....Put on your seatbelt and prepare to enter into one of the most extraordinary true stories you’ll ever encounter!" --Lee Strobel, best-selling author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Grace "Reveals how easily a political ideology can grow into a radical, extreme, life-taking worldview, all the while masquerading for some supposed form of a 'Christian' faith....A powerful story!" --Eric C. Redmond, associate professor of Bible, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago
