Download or read book Son of Man and Son of God written by John C. Dwyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-04-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Christian there is only one question that really matters: Who is Jesus Christ? The answer to this question determines the way we think about God and about ourselves and therefore it determines the way we live and the way we die. This book strives to answer that question by taking as its starting point a critical reading of the New Testament and by evaluating the role played by almost nineteen centuries of doctrinal and dogmatic tradition in fashioning the faith of the Christian today. This book invites the reader to engage in serious theological thought, but it is not written for professional theologians alone. It is written for all, inside and outside the churches, who are attracted by Jesus of Nazareth and who want to answer his own question: Who do you say that I am?

Book excerpt: What is the role of the will in believing the good news of the gospel? Why is there so much controversy over free will throughout church history? R. C. Sproul finds that Christians have often been influenced by pagan views of the human will that deny the effects of Adam's fall. In Willing to Believe, Sproul traces the free-will controversy from its formal beginning in the fifth century, with the writings of Augustine and Pelagius, to the present. Readers will gain understanding into the nuances separating the views of Protestants and Catholics, Calvinists and Arminians, and Reformed and Dispensationalists. This book, like Sproul's Faith Alone, is a major work on an essential evangelical tenet.
Download or read book Jesus the Son of God written by D. A. Carson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it is a foundational confession for all Christians, much of the theological significance of Jesus's identity as "the Son of God" is often overlooked or misunderstood. Moreover, this Christological concept stands at the center of today's Bible translation debates and increased ministry efforts to Muslims. New Testament scholar D. A. Carson sheds light on this important issue with his usual exegetical clarity and theological insight, first by broadly surveying Jesus's biblical name as "the Son of God, and then by focusing on two key texts that speak of Christ's sonship. The book concludes with the implications of Jesus's divine sonship for how modern Christians think and speak about Christ, especially in relation to Bible translation and missionary engagement with Muslims across the globe.

Download or read book The Two Sons of God written by Charles S. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 2000 years, Christians, theologians, scholars and historians have broadly accepted these two designations as describing One Person - Jesus: The Son of God. However, a serious and brutally-logical analysis of the actual Scriptures which pertain to these two Titles, along with connecting Scripture that add irrefutable and clarifying reinforcement to the primary axiom here, clearly show that belief to not be the case at all. To that particular end the clear statement: "No man hath seen God at any time..." irrefutably destroys the singular, supposedly sacrosanct, tenet we allude to. If you, Christian reader, or you, Bible scholar, apply the above reality to certain passages in Revelation concerning "He Who is Enthroned" - and Jesus - then you must surely see that the present general Church interpretation/belief about Who It is that occupies that Throne, cannot possibly be correct. In fact, of all distortions of Biblical Truth - and there are very, very many - this crucial error of The Two Sons of God stands as the most appalling, and therefore the most destructive for all of global humanity, to what Jesus described as the All-Truth. The contentious nature of what we are unequivocally postulating will therefore place this "immutable fact" in direct opposition to the standard and long-held position of global Christendom. That position states that it is Jesus Who is to return, for, - according to Christian wisdom - He is the only Son of God! John 16 holds the warning from Jesus that upon the Coming of the Ordained One, that: "He, Himself, [personal pronoun] will honour Me." And from Jesus: "I return to The Father and you will see Me no more." Are we just playing with words here, and/or are we distorting Bible Scripture? Well, there is, of course, one outcome that will prove our case - the Event itself. An earth-changing Event of which it is warned that: "Only the few will [recognise] know." Not the roughly two billion of global Christendom: No, only the few!
