Download or read book Things the Preachers Don t Tell You written by Delores Glass and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ______________________________________________________________ There are literally thousands of religions practiced in the world today, including astounding 47,000 denominations within Christianity alone. They all claim to have the truth according their individual practices, beliefs, doctrines, and rituals - but are they all acceptable to the CREATOR, the Almighty GOD of the universe? The initial question of course is: Does GOD really exist? And if HE does exist, are all forms of worship acceptable to HIM? "THINGS THE PREACHERS DON'T TELL YOU" directs attention to the Judeo/Christian Bible for the answers, and in its pages the creation of the universe, and the miracle of life on earth testifies to the existence of GOD (Romans 1:20). So, the first part of the question is answered from both biblical and scientific perspectives. GOD authored the first 5 of the 39 Old Testament books of the Judeo/Christian Bible and gave them to us as the roadmap back to the precious gift of everlasting life that our forefather, Adam, forfeited at the very beginning of the world. Acceptable worship is made clear through the writings of men inspired by HIM throughout the entire Bible. Within the first 39 books of the Bible's 66 books GOD tells us 6,823 times that HIS name is YHWH (YAHWEH) and explains what HE expects of those who hope to gain everlasting life. Unfortunately, religionists have obscured HIS message by teaching that the Bible's mandates do not apply today, especially those contained in the first 5 books. Preachers dismiss the Bible's warnings and notoriously teach their own watered-down dogma as biblical fact. Many religious leaders have become motivational speakers who make people 'feel good,' by teaching that GOD is an all loving "Big Daddy in the sky" who will easily overlook their error. These preachers completely dismiss the majesty of YAHWEH and the seriousness of HIS mandates, also often using religion for personal financial gain. For those who are taught that the Bible, especially the Old Testament, does not apply today, GOD reminds us that "HE does not change (Numbers 23:19 / James 1:17) regardless the "political corrections" that modern day preachers have given to HIM and HIS word. 'THINGS THE PREACHERS DON'T TELL YOU' points to what the Bible says about: Free Will; Repentance; Revenge; Forgiveness; Justice; Yahweh and Yashua-who are they; The First Mandate; and What happened after Christ. It explains the parallel between the Old and New Testaments showing Christ's role in the Old Testament prophecies, and how those prophecies will be completely fulfilled at world's end. It shows how Satan figures into the picture, and you may be surprised to learn how Satan has used organized religion i.e., the preachers, to lead mankind away from Yahweh. You will also learn how the death penalty will be done away with for those who love YAHWEH. Take the time to consider what you believe and why. The scripture advises us to: "Make sure of all things and hold fast to what is fine (1. Thessalonians 5:21 NWT)" because, "This means everlasting life: their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (John 17:3 NWT)"

Download or read book Are Ghosts Biblical written by Eric James and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a Christian believe in ghosts? What if you knew that it was not only okay for a Christian to believe in the existence of the paranormal but that the Bible supports this idea? In Are Ghosts Biblical?, Christian and avid ghost hunter Eric James suggests just that. Within the Protestant Church the existence of ghosts has been denied, the possibility of anything paranormal spurned, and the subject has been ignored. But with new ghost hunting and haunted house shows becoming increasing popular, the paranormal is a matter the church can and should no longer overlook. Eric grew up in a family that believed in ghosts, and he himself has proof of spirits from personal excursions. So just what are ghosts, and how can they coexist with the Protestant way of thinking? These are just a few of the questions Eric tries to answer in Are Ghosts Biblical?, which will challenge what you think you believe.

Download or read book Ghost Channels written by Amy Lawrence and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through American history, often in times of crisis, there have been periodic outbreaks of obsession with the paranormal. Between 2004 and 2019, over six dozen documentary-style series dealing with paranormal subject matter premiered on television in the United States. Combining the stylistic traits of horror with earnest accounts of what are claimed to be actual events, “paranormal reality” incorporates subject matter formerly characterized as occult or supernatural into the established category of reality TV. Despite the high number of programs and their evident popularity, paranormal reality television has to date received little critical attention. Ghost Channels: Paranormal Reality Television and the Haunting of Twenty-First-Century America provides an overview of the paranormal reality television genre, its development, and its place in television history. Conducting in-depth analyses of over thirty paranormal television series, including such shows as Ghost Hunters, Celebrity Ghost Stories, and Long Island Medium, author Amy Lawrence suggests these programs reveal much about Americans’ contemporary fears. Through her close readings, Lawrence asks, “What are these shows trying to tell us?” and “What do they communicate about contemporary culture if we take them seriously and watch them closely?” Ridiculed by nearly everyone, paranormal reality TV shows—with their psychics, ghost hunters, and haunted houses—provide unique insights into contemporary American culture. Half-horror, half-documentary realism, these shows expose deep-seated questions about class, race, gender, the value of technology, the failure of institutions, and what it means to be American in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Journey into the Heart of God written by Philip H. Pfatteicher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 1193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey into the Heart of God is a captivating exploration of the history and evolution of the Church Year: the cycle of seasons in the Christian tradition that begins with Advent and culminates with Easter and is marked by the celebrations of saints, feast days, and the reading of Scripture as appointed by the Church. Primarily through deft examination of the Western Church, Philip H. Pfatteicher reveals how the liturgical calendar has been transformed over thousands of years. It is a work of art--the collaborative achievement of generations of hands and minds. He shows how the church year dramatizes and grounds the strange complexity of the human experience and how it encourages honesty, humility, growth, and maturity in those who live by it. Pfatteicher also offers insight into the liturgical texts of the Eucharist, the less familiar Daily Office, and the people's theology voiced in hymns from a broad spectrum of ancient and modern traditions. It will be an indispensable resource for both clergy and laity in the liturgical denominations, including Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism.
