Download or read book Defense for Biblical Trinity Theology and the Doctrine of Holiness written by Samuel R. Siders and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology and Christology are intense biblical discussions, as well as the doctrine of holiness, which I have been involved in as an apologist, "Defense of the Scriptures and the kingdom of God" (Jude 1:3), for over a decade on social media, among other intense topics with Muslims, Israelis, atheists, Gnostics, false cults, and a myriad of various denominations that call themselves Christians, because not everyone agrees on what the Bible teaches about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Most of what will be shared in the first section of this book will be in defense of who Jesus is in His fullness—His Christology—which includes the biblical fact that Jesus is both deity through heredity in spirit and soul like His Father Almighty God is deity and as eternal as His Father Almighty God.The second section of this book will provide the information that proves obedience to God's moral ethical laws is required to receive eternal life after receiving Jesus' atonement (grace) through faith for sin to be cleansed and forgiven. Obedience is not an option to be ignored but a required effort to be made and improved upon, and God has given His Holy Spirit to teach us how to perfectly obey Him and the help to succeed. Nowhere does the Bible teach that obedience to God's moral ethical laws atone for sin, nowhere; but the Bible does teach obedience—making the conscious effort to go onto perfection with our physical body (flesh)—is required to receive eternal life. God uses obedience to render our physical body righteous. This book will share in greater detail about the topic of faith, grace (atonement), and obedience; all three are required to receive eternal life, not atonement (grace through faith) only.

Download or read book The Living Diet written by Martha Tatarnic and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living Diet invites us to consider our relationship to food from a Christian perspective. Food: can’t live with it or without it. We are bombarded with messages that the secret to health and weight loss can be unlocked with the right product or magic discipline, but we are getting neither thinner nor happier. Reports suggest that we are losing our battle with obesity, while the anxiety people experience in relationship with food increases. We are taught that bodies are fundamentally a problem to be solved, or worse, a war to be won, while a misguided worldview suggests that our food choices are of concern to us alone; an individual act of pleasure or consequences. Few resources speak to our food problem from a distinctly Christian perspective. Drawing on a rich assemblage of personal and collected stories grounded in the teachings of Jesus, The Living Diet offers a joyful alternative to the desperation and dissatisfaction that have become cultural norms for both eating and body image, inviting us to consider our choices in the context of community. Ancient wisdom yields a surprisingly modern response to the dieting dilemma, as well as to the realm of public, or popular, theology, helping the reader discover the real joy of eating and the true gift of embodied living.
Download or read book Remythologizing Theology written by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of modern science and the proclaimed 'death' of God in the nineteenth century led to a radical questioning of divine action and authorship - Bultmann's celebrated 'demythologizing'. Remythologizing Theology moves in another direction that begins by taking seriously the biblical accounts of God's speaking. It establishes divine communicative action as the formal and material principle of theology, and suggests that interpersonal dialogue, rather than impersonal causality, is the keystone of God's relationship with the world. This original contribution to the theology of divine action and authorship develops a fresh vision of Christian theism. It also revisits several long-standing controversies such as the relations of God's sovereignty to human freedom, time to eternity, and suffering to love. Groundbreaking and thought-provoking, it brings theology into fruitful dialogue with philosophy, literary theory, and biblical studies.
Download or read book Atonement and the Death of Christ written by William Lane Craig and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his death on the cross, Christ atoned for sin and so reconciled people to God. New Testament authors drew upon a range of metaphors and motifs to describe this salvific act, and down through history Christian thinkers have tried to articulate various theories to explain the atonement. While Christ's sacrifice serves as a central tenet of the Christian faith, the mechanism of atonement--exactly how Christ effects our salvation--remains controversial and ambiguous to many Christians. In Atonement and the Death of Christ, William Lane Craig conducts an interdisciplinary investigation of this crucial Christian doctrine, drawing upon Old and New Testament studies, historical theology, and analytic philosophy. The study unfolds in three discrete parts: Craig first explores the biblical basis of atonement and unfolds the wide variety of motifs used to characterize this doctrine. Craig then highlights some of the principal alternative theories of the atonement offered by great Christian thinkers of the premodern era. Lastly, Craig's exploration delves into a constructive and innovative engagement with philosophy of law, which allows an understanding of atonement that moves beyond mystery and into the coherent mechanism of penal substitution. Along the way, Craig enters into conversation with contemporary systematic theories of atonement as he seeks to establish a position that is scripturally faithful and philosophically sound. The result is a multifaceted perspective that upholds the suffering of Christ as a substitutionary, representational, and redemptive act that satisfies divine justice. In addition, this carefully reasoned approach addresses the rich tapestry of Old Testament imagery upon which the first Christians drew to explain how the sinless Christ saved his people from the guilt of their sins.

Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Systematic Theology brings together a set of original and authoritative accounts of all the major areas of current research in Christian systematic theology, offering a thorough survey of the state of the discipline and of its prospects for those undertaking research and teaching in the field. The Handbook engages in a comprehensive examination of themes and approaches, guiding the reader through current debates and literatures in the context of the historical development of systematic theological reflection. Organized thematically, it treats in detail the full array of topics in systematic theology, as well as questions of its sources and norms, its relation to other theological and non-theological fields of enquiry, and some major trends in current work. Each chapter provides an analysis of research and debate on its topic. The focus is on doctrinal (rather than historical) questions, and on major (rather than ephemeral) debates. The aim is to stimulate readers to reach theological judgements on the basis of consideration of the range of opinion. Drawn from Europe, the UK, and North America, the authors are all leading practitioners of the discipline. Readers will find expert guidance as well as creative suggestions about the future direction of the study of Christian doctrine.
