This book was released on 2022-09-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God was incarnating Himself to come to earth to deliver people from sin, there was a serious dragon obstacle to the salvation of sinners. The Virgin Mary who was the vessel of honor through whom the process of incarnation was taking place by the power of the Holy Spirit was under attack by the dragon. In fact, the dragon declared war on the Virgin Mary, on her Holy Child who became the visible incarnated God, and on those who keep the commandments of God and maintain their testimony about Jesus. The hatred of the dragon against Christians and the Church has resulted in the dragon declaring war against them. The attack of the dragon and his fake religions leads them to hell fire, while the attacked Christians joyfully enter the Kingdom of God.

Download or read book Disciples Literal New Testament written by Michael Magill and published by Reyma Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.

The Greek term denotes an unveiling or uncovering—thus, a revelation." "Here is the key to understanding the book. Jesus alone can unlock the meaning of its symbols, visions and descriptions...Christ reveals its meaning. He unlocks its seals. But how does He do it?" "Most of Revelation—about two thirds of its content—is devoted to the seventh seal. The contents of the first six seals are found in chapter 6 alone." "How will the two witnesses and their message be received?" "The book of Revelation reveals, from more than one perspective, the emergence of this vast end-time empire governed from a great city God labels “Babylon the great”, the reference here being to Rome." "Jesus Christ will return to establish that Kingdom on earth (the Kingdom of God) at His second coming, at last bringing the peace mankind has always longed for but never achieved."

Download or read book Abolishing The Traditions Of Men In The Church written by Aniekan A Okono and published by Times Of Truth Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exposition of some misunderstood Scriptural texts, which have birthed presuppositions and traditions of men in the Church. This book shows how the original Hebrews, including the followers of Christ, understood God’s voice; how they knew a Scriptural text was inspired and should be accepted. It highlights issues which have arisen because, in early Church history, the original voice wasn’t understood and followed properly. Since the death of the last of the 12 Apostles, traditions of men have taken over the Church, and these have had negative effects on the world despite the Church putting so much effort into evangelism and winning souls. This book shows how and why Christianity is not the fastest-growing religion, despite efforts in evangelism and soul-winning. This book goes further to provide more accurate interpretations of the events from the Garden of Eden down to the tree of life in the book of Revelation. It uses principles of interpretation, as provided by the Bible itself. The book has pointed out traditions of men in the Church with respect to teachings on Hell, Heaven, who goes to Heaven, what happens when we die, binding the devil, witches and wizards, one is taken and one left, pleading the blood of Jesus, the Church as the bride of Christ, times of the gentiles, salvation, brothers and sisters of mine, repent or you’ll burn in hell and many other daily teachings.

Download or read book A Monastic Introduction to Sacred Scripture written by Thomas Merton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the numerous sets of conferences that Thomas Merton presented to young prospective monks during his decade (1955-1965) as novice master at the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani is a wide-ranging introduction to biblical studies, made available for the first time in the present volume. Drawing on church tradition, teaching of recent papal documents, and scholarly resources of the time, he reveals the central importance of the Scriptures for the spiritual growth of his listeners. The extensive introduction situates material of these conferences in the context of Merton's evolving engagement with the Bible from his own days as a student monk through the mature reflections from his final years on the biblical renewal in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. For Merton, at the heart of any meaningful reading of the Scriptures, not only for monks but for all Christians, is the invitation to respond not just intellectually but with the whole self, to recognize the gospel as "good news," as a saving, liberating, consoling, challenging word, reflecting his fundamental belief that "the Holy Spirit enlightens us, in our reading, to see how our own lives are part of these great mysteries--how we are one with Jesus in them."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CHECKLIST OF NEW TESTAMENT COMMANDMENTS “As a long time television producer and host, I am required to consider hundreds of books each year for my daily Homekeepers program. No one has ever made the profound impact on my own life like Dr. Esther V. Shekher and her books, ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, Volumes 1 and 2. The first time I looked through them, I realized that she has highlighted an important “truth”, sorely needed in the church today. Volume 2 dissects the writings of the Apostle Paul spotlighting the blessings of obedience along with the consequences of disobedience. These books, uniquely formatted, are a refreshing rain in a desert of writings about earthly prosperity and “self” fulfillment. They offer a valuable Biblical resource whether used for personal benefit, a group setting or pulpit series.” Arthelene Rippy CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK The Holy Bible emphasizes that blessings of God will overtake us only when we obey God’s commandments. There is nothing more important than obeying the commandments of God and thereby receiving all the blessings of God! Some of the important topics covered in this divinely inspired book are: • How not to live in the futility of your mind • Salvation, the gift of God and not of your works • Take your stand against the devil’s schemes • Supernatural occurrences during the rapture and second coming of Christ— be rapture ready • You are complete in Christ • Walk worthy of your calling • Jesus accepts you just as you are This practical book will definitely be a blessing to all those who read it, especially to those who long for a much deeper walk with the Lord.
