Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allan W. Janssen has published: "The Plain truth About God-101 (what the church doesn't want you to know)." God-101 presents a fascinating insight into how the original "cult" teachings of Jesus were altered by Greek philosophy, Pagan beliefs and Pauline thought to become the sayings of "The Christ" and the basis of our modern Bible. God-101 gives an analysis of how the "priesthood" has corrupted Christianity and the other major religions. It shows how "Dogma" has led to the polarization of different sects within the same religion, (Catholic/Protestant - Shiite/Sunni) and how religious strife affects society as a whole, including the upcoming world - wide clash between Christianity and Islam!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God 101 is a book that addresses our contemporary fascination with all matters spiritual. The first half of the book looks at how we got to where we are now in our physical and spiritual development. The second half allows us to take a long look at ourselves as a people and examine the beliefs and practices that have made our world here in the twenty first century the way it is! This book has attempted to separate the fact of a "God" from the myths of man that have so shaped our lives. My hope in writing this book is to have people come back to God without the trappings and false impressions that have been fostered on us by organized religion over the centuries. What I object to is the human trait of forming special interest groups whose purpose is to give only their explanation of God, and, making proclamations and laws in God's name. This to me is the height of human arrogance and self-deception. Perhaps the greatest sin of the Western churches (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) has been the particular brand of narcissism that impels so many to feel they have God all sewn up and put in their back pocket. People who think that they not only have a ticket to heaven, but anyone who disagrees with them is going straight to hell! They believe in God, but do not believe that God is bigger than their own theology. In their arrogance they do not realized that God is not theirs to possess! -Paraphrased from M. Scott Peck. The discipline of sociology of religion has much to teach about how religion functions for the individual and in society. Unfortunately, research done by sociologists of religion seldom filters out of the "ivory towers" to those "in the trenches." None can be persuaded or converted to one or another religious perspective only through rational proof and logic. This may be possible in science, but not in religion, otherwise everyone would already be of one faith. However, rational proofs have to be considered because we are rational beings. Reason can not be rejected and experience proclaimed the only way of knowing truth. No divorce between reason and experience should be accepted because they are complementary and work together. Neither should exclude the other. As a result, we do not have to reject the proof of reason in our spiritual quests, whatever their nature might be. Rather than generating sterile debates, the information presented here should help you clarify your own views toward comparative religion and develop a critical ability to analyze today's spiritual market. www.God-101.com

Download or read book The Simple Truth of God written by John E. Ditzel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You were uniquely created in the IMAGE of the God and Creator of the universe – far above all other created life for the distinct privilege of living forever with God. Why don’t our children know this wonderful, good news message of hope from the Bible? Sadly, it’s because public schools and colleges teach students – there is no God. Why do our educational institutions teach students there is no God when Intelligent design is so plainly evident in all creation; and the consequences of not knowing the truth is so devastating to students and to this nation and world? In America, every student should have the opportunity to hear, question, debate, and freely make their own conclusion about the existence of God – thus the purpose of this book. This book presents the simple truth about the existence of God to students and adults who have never heard the Biblical Creation account of life during their public school and college education – so they can intelligently make their own decision about the ORIGIN OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE. The book covers the following: The understandable and visible evidence for the existence of God Why mankind was the purpose of God’s creation How you can know the Bible is the Word of God What the Bible teaches us about God and His will for mankind The very real spiritual presence of evil in the world The way we can be assured of an eternal life with God upon death And how to love God and others in this present life

Download or read book The Spiritual Condition of Infants written by Adam Harwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the spiritual condition of infants? According to the Augustinian-Calvinist view, all people inherit from the first Adam both a sinful nature and his guilt. The result is that all infants are subject to the judgment of God against their nature before they knowingly commit any sinful actions. But is this the clear teaching of Scripture? In The Spiritual Condition of Infants, Adam Harwood examines ten relevant biblical texts and the writings of sixteen theologians in order to clarify the spiritual condition of infants. Although no passage explicitly states the spiritual condition of infants, each text makes contributions by addressing the doctrines of man, sin, the church, and salvation. If this biblical-historical analysis exposes the traditional Augustinian-Calvinist view to be inadequate, then is it possible to construct an alternate view of the spiritual condition of infants? Such a view should remain faithful to the biblical emphasis on humankind's connection to Adam and his sin but also recognize the guilt and condemnation of an individual only in the manner and time that God does in Scripture. That is the aim of this book.
Download or read book The Plain Truth about God written by Allan W. Janssen and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the human experience concerning God, and how we have taken the Divine and used it for our own ends.From the Great Flood to the Legend of Atlantis, this book looks at the great truths as well as the myths and legends that have shaped our lives. In these pages, we will examine the story of Jesus and Muhammad, the rise of Christianity and Islam, and the forces that have shaped our religions (Both East and West) over the centuries.The book comes in two parts. The first half of the book looks at how we as a civilization got to where we are in both our physical and spiritual development. It gives a brief history of the development of religion and spirituality.The second half allows us to take a long look at ourselves as a people and a civilization. It examines our religious beliefs and the practices of the “priesthood” that have made our world here in the twenty first century the way it is!There now seems to be as many different types of spiritual beliefs and practices as there are groups or tribes in the world, yet in spite of this diversity there is an underlying commonality present in every practitioner of every belief! This common denominator is the overwhelming need to have that belief system in the first place.There are so many types of belief's present in the world today that naturally they cannot all be right. It seems logical that only one of them could be the “True” religion. This by default means that all the rest are wrong. Actually, in the light of day, they are probably all wrong to a greater or lesser degree. However, in spite of this, our common craving for a belief system makes a very convincing argument for a Higher Power. So remember the old saying “If there were no God, man would have to invent one. “ The only real question is how do we separate the fact of a “God” with the myths that have shaped our lives? This book attempts to find some answers.
