Download or read book Lectures on Faith written by Joseph Smith (Jr.) and published by Zion's Camp Books. This book was released on 1988 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special edition of the Lectures on Faith from Zion’s Camp Books is formatted for convenience on an eReader, with more than 100 internal links to scriptures and citations. We hope it will give you a great reading experience! The Lectures on Faith were originally prepared as materials for the School of the Prophets in Kirtland, Ohio in 1834 and were included in the Doctrine and Covenants from 1835 to 1921. Although the Lectures on Faith have never been accepted as revelation by the body of the church (and so were removed from the Doctrine and Covenants in 1921), they contain important doctrinal insights that can help anyone seeking to learn more about faith and come closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. President Joseph Fielding Smith noted, “I suppose that the rising generation knows little about the Lectures on Faith. . . . In my own judgment, these Lectures are of great value and should be studied. . . . I consider them to be of extreme value in the study of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Seek Ye Earnestly. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1970.) Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has stated the lectures contain “some of the best lesson material ever prepared on the Godhead; on the character, perfections, and attributes of God; on faith, miracles, and sacrifice. They can be studied with great profit by all gospel scholars.” (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine. Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966.)

Download or read book Reasons We Believe Foreword by John MacArthur written by Nathan Busenitz and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-07-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasons We Believe will reinforce your personal faith and will provide you with a clear, concise, evangelistic tool to help you share that faith with others. In an age of cynics and skeptics, Christianity is constantly under attack. Believers need resources that defend the veracity of their faith. They are searching for clear, concise, and credible answers to both doubts of their own and objections from their unbelieving friends. Nathan Busenitz provides such resources to believers. Reasons We Believe confirms and strengthens the faith of believers by demonstrating the reliability of the twofold authority on which Christianity rests: the Word of God and the person of Jesus Christ. Reasons builds a biblical foundation for the authority of the Bible and then shows how extra-biblical evidence corresponds with and thereby attests to what the Bible claims. This study seeks to reinforce the faith of Christians while also providing them with a straightforward evangelistic tool for reaching non-Christians.
Download or read book The History of the Church of God During the Period of Revelation Classic Reprint written by Charles Colcock Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Church of God During the Period of Revelation I have been encouraged by the favorable opinion expressed both by ministers and private members of the Church to whom the character of the work has been explained. These last - for whom I have specially written - have been pleased to say, that if successfully executed, it would prove such a History as would be particularly profitable to them. It would indeed be doing good service to prepare an acceptable and useful History of the Church for the mass Of the people Of God; and he who is enabled to ac complish that work should esteem it a high honor graciously con ferred upon him. Our Ecclesiastical Historians are read only to a very limited extent by our Church members; consequently but a few are familiar with the details of Church History. The importance of such knowledge to them no one can for a moment question. But it is looked upon as a department above their line Of reading and study, and more properly belonging to learned Doctors of Divin ity, and to accomplished scholars. We may go further and say without offence, that many ministers, even, pay but little attention to this great subject. The venerable Dr. Miller, Of Princeton, used to Observe to our class, that a minister who was a good Church Historian, would never be at a loss for a Sermon or a Lecture. When certain controversies arise in the Church, for the time being the Historians are much sought after: but when the battle is over, the armor is returned, and the books are closed like Old arsenals.

Download or read book The Lectures on Faith written by Joseph Smith and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lectures on Faith is a set of seven lectures on the doctrine and theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, first published as the doctrine portion of the 1835 edition of the canonical Doctrine and Covenants. The lectures were originally presented by Joseph Smith to a group of elders in a course known as the "School of the Prophets." Lecture 1: Faith gives rise to all human endeavors in both worldly and spiritual matters, and is a source of power, both in man and in God. Lecture 2: The human family's knowledge of God began with God's interaction with Adam before The Fall, which knowledge was retained after The Fall, and which knowledge has been transmitted via human testimony among Adam's descendants. Lecture 3: In addition to a belief in God, a correct knowledge of God's character and attributes as revealed in scripture is necessary for the exercise of faith leading to life and salvation. Lecture 4: From scripture, one can learn that God possesses the following attributes: knowledge, faith (which is His power), justice, judgment, mercy, and truth. Lecture 5: The Godhead, or the collective persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Lecture 6: The knowledge that one's life is in accordance with God's will is necessary for obtaining eternal life Lecture 7: By growing in faith, one draws nearer to God, and in the perfection of faith, one becomes like God. By faith, one obtains knowledge of God, through which knowledge one can receive all things pertaining to life and godliness.

Download or read book Scripture Creed Theology written by Robert L. Calhoun and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long-awaited edition of the late Robert Lowry Calhoun's lectures on the history of Christian doctrine, a powerful case is made for the scriptural basis of the ancient ecumenical creeds. The way Calhoun reads the patristic authors helps us see that the Trinitarian "three-yet-one" and Christological "two-yet-one" creedal formulations provide patterns for sorting out the highly diverse biblical ways of speaking of God and of the Messiah (Jesus) so that they are not contradictory. The implied lesson (all the more effective for many of Calhoun's students, just because he let them draw this conclusion by themselves) is that the creeds are not to be understood as deductions from scripture (which they are not in any straightforward way) but as templates for interpreting scripture. It is Trinitarian and Christological patterns of reading--which are implicitly operative for vast multitudes even in churches that profess to be creedless--that make it possible to treat the entire bible, Old and New Testaments together, as a unified and coherently authoritative whole.
Download or read book Regnum Dei written by Archibald Thomas Robertson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-18 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of God is the Christian answer to the most vital question that man has to solve, the question of the purpose of his being. Our Saviour's teaching on the subject is closely connected with hopes and convictions in full currency at the time of his Advent on earth; but he so used these convictions and hopes as to give a new meaning to life, and to open a new direction to human aspiration and effort. The Kingdom of God in his hands is a many-sided conception; to do justice to it has been the problem set to his followers in the long and varied course of the Church's existence.... My fervent hope and prayer is that, whatever its faults, this volume of Lectures may do nothing to hinder, but by God's mercy may rather in some degree, however slight, set forward the Kingdom of Christ and of God. I would make my own the prayer of one of my predecessors: 'Domine Deus, quaecunque dixi de tuo, agnoscant et tui; si qua de meo, et Tu ignosce et tui.' from the Preface
