Download or read book The Measurement of Righteousness written by Elder Albert K. Chepaka and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of The Measurement of Righteousness uses secular educational measurement and evaluation methods to illustrate the measurability of the spiritual state of man’s life through the performance of physical lifestyles and activities. The book scores and evaluates man’s activities in different perspectives: • Through physical activities of good and bad deeds • Through spiritual (faith-based practices) that determine their respective destinations, either Heaven (a place of bliss) or Hell (a place of torment), as illustrated on the front cover It also examines categories of men, their characteristics, and background types by inclination of godliness or devilishness. Man is viewed as being weighed on God’s word in relation to his obedience, believing that all about man’s sufferings in this world emanates from his disobedience to God’s word. Its consequent effect caused man the loss of his “paradise” known as the Garden of Eden. The book concludes by enjoining man “the wicked” to repent and be righteous. It also calls on believers to examine themselves and retrace their steps to be on the high side in righteousness on God’s scale to obtain eternal life in God’s kingdom on the day of judgment, after rapture of the “church” (believers or saints).
Download or read book The Politics of Righteousness written by James A. Aho and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their home bases in Idaho and neighboring areas of the Northwest, organizations such as the Order, the Aryan Nations Church, the Posse Comitatus, and the Golden Mean Society have drawn national attention and spread the gospel of a “constitutionally pure, Christian homeland.” For the reader who knows these groups only from a selection of inflammatory quotes and violent deeds, this compelling work presents the first disciplined exploration of the backgrounds and belief systems of the Christian patriot movement. Using information gathered from interviews and direct observation of patriot gatherings, Aho replaces the stereotype of solitary crazies from the fringes of society with more complex and disturbing realities.
Download or read book The Measure of All Things written by Ken Alder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1792, amidst the chaos of the French Revolution, two intrepid astronomers set out in opposite directions on an extraordinary journey. Starting in Paris, Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Delambre would make his way north to Dunkirk, while Pierre-François-André Méchain voyaged south to Barcelona. Their mission was to measure the world, and their findings would help define the meter as one ten-millionth of the distance between the pole and the equator—a standard that would be used “for all people, for all time.” The Measure of All Things is the astonishing tale of one of history’s greatest scientific adventures. Yet behind the public triumph of the metric system lies a secret error, one that is perpetuated in every subsequent definition of the meter. As acclaimed historian and novelist Ken Alder discovered through his research, there were only two people on the planet who knew the full extent of this error: Delambre and Méchain themselves. By turns a science history, detective tale, and human drama, The Measure of All Things describes a quest that succeeded as it failed—and continues to enlighten and inspire to this day.

Download or read book The Righteousness Of God J N Darby written by J.N. Darby and published by Believer's Bookshelf Canada Inc.. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book is a composite of articles by John Nelson Darby which have been extracted from the Doctrinal Series of his Collected Writings volume 7 and volume 10. The articles deal with many aspects of divine righteousness : the true nature of justif ication, the Christian’s relationship to the Law, and related subjects. Of particular interest is the matter of so called imputed righteousness. The teaching that the Christian is under the “moral law” is dealt with in several of the articles. Some of the articles were originally part of a larger debate between Darby and his antagonists. The thread of these debates may be a little challenging for some to follow as the original articles of Darby’s opponents have been long out of print. Nevertheless, a careful reading and study of these will greatly reward the sincere student looking into these most important doctrines.

Download or read book Afterlife and Resurrection Beliefs in the Apocrypha and Apocalyptic Literature written by Jan Age Sigvartsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan A. Sigvartsen seeks to examine the immense interest in life after death, and speculation about the fates awaiting both the righteous and the wicked, that proliferated in the Second Temple period. In this volume Sigvartsen explores the Apocrypha and the apocalyptic writings in the Pseudepigrapha. He identifies the numerous afterlife and resurrection beliefs and presents an analysis that enables readers to easily understand and compare the wide-ranging beliefs regarding the afterlife that these texts hold. A careful reading of these resurrection passages, including passages appearing in Sirach, Maccabees, the Sibylline Oracles and the Ezra texts, reveals that most of the distinct views on life-after-death, regardless of their complexity, show little evidence of systematic development relational to one another, and are often supported by several key passages or shared motifs from texts that later became a part of the TaNaKh. Sigvartsen also highlights the factors that may have influenced the development of so many different resurrection beliefs; including anthropology, the nature of the soul, the scope of the resurrection, the number and function of judgments, and the final destination of the righteous and the wicked. Sigvartsen's study provides a deeper understanding of how the “TaNaKh” was read by different communities during this important period, and the role it played in the development of the resurrection belief – a central article of faith in both Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism.
Download or read book Mind Your Heart written by Liza Mitchell and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you come back to yourself after losing yourself in a man? When you stray from God, how do you return? In this unashamedly candid memoir, first-time author Liza Mitchell recalls the time of her life when she did just this, pursuing the love of a man at her church, relentlessly and fervently, at the expense of her relationship both to herself and God. Against her better judgement, Liza begins to find herself unerringly compelled by Sean, a local man who attends her church. This leads her to embark on a tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship with him, despite his non-committal ways and the un-Christlike tendencies he often exhibits. This leads to her own un-Christlike behaviours, ultimately culminating in an incident where she travels to check in on his house when he’s not there, against his wishes. This is followed by a great deal of remorse, leading to her struggling with whether to return to her church singing group—or church, generally. Through faith and hard work, though, Liza is able to recover her relationship to herself and God. Ultimately, hers is a heartening message bolstered by her Christian faith, affirming God’s love as capable of clearing the conscience. After all, Jesus died for our sins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible presents us with difficult statements about money and finance, social justice, marriage and divorce, sex, religion and politics, and other areas of life. Many of us pick and choose among them, feeling free to treat some of the Bible's moral rulings as absolutes but ignoring those we find unacceptable. Are there areas where we can ignore what the Bible says? Is the Bible is simply wrong about some things? Are we free to argue that we understand things better than the biblical writers did an so can disregard them? Or must we accept what the Bible tells us, no matter how difficult it might be to put into practice? Kraus explores questions of prosperity, treatment of enemies, the death penalty, economics, social justice, sexual behavior, and others.
