Book excerpt: In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

In Supernatural, Michael Heiser helps us to do both. It may open your eyes to the scripture in a new way.” —John Ortberg, author of If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat

Download or read book New Testament Supernatural Inerrant Proof Per Hebrew Idiom written by Timothy Swiss and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per application of the scientific method, the content of this book proves, beyond any reasonable degree of doubt, that the New Testament is supernatural, inerrant, and preserved--namely preserved intact, regarding wordage, since the original penning of the New Testament Scriptures in the Greek language: and furthermore, this book also proves that the subsequent application of punctuation to the wordage of the Greek Scriptures was accomplished through the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, and is likewise inerrant, as pertains to the Fifth Revised Edition of the Greek New Testament. The complex, intricate, and consistent rules that apply throughout the Fifth Revised Edition of the Greek New Testament in regard to the Hebrew idiom leave no logical explanation other than supernatural production of both the wordage and the punctuation of the text. Thus, God not only guided the pens of the various men who originally composed the books that comprise the Greek New Testament, but also accomplished the preservation of Scripture and directed the accurate application of punctuation.What is meant by Hebrew idiom in this book is explained in chapter 2. The rules pertaining to the Hebrew idiom apply consistently, without exception, in books produced through such varying authors as fishermen, a tax collector, a physician, and a Pharisee. Not only does this indicate a single supernatural author who produced these books through the writings of various men, it also proves that the oldest Greek texts of New Testament books have been preserved without alteration or corruption. The rules that apply to the Hebrew idiom are so delicate that the addition or omission of a single word, or the addition or omission of a single mark of punctuation, or the change in arrangement of two words, or the application of the Hebrew idiom to someone who was not of Hebrew culture and who is not quoting someone of Hebrew culture, could result, in any of these instances, in statements that are obviously ridiculous and/or obviously in conflict with what is stated in other New Testament Scripture. There is not a single verse, in regard to the Hebrew idiom, that is ridiculous or in conflict with other New Testament Scripture: this requires inerrancy, and given that there are over 700 verses that pertain to the Hebrew idiom, it provides strong indication that the Fifth Revised Edition of the Greek New Testament is altogether inerrant. In summary, the Hebrew idiom addressed in this book proves the supernatural origin of New Testament Scripture, proves the inerrancy of New Testament Scripture, and proves the untainted preservation of the original Greek wordage. And considering that the original text composing the Greek New Testament was written in all capital Greek letters with limited if any punctuation, and considering that punctuation was added to the text composing the Greek New Testament centuries after the original penning of the books comprising the Greek New Testament, this Hebrew idiom also proves the supernatural guidance of the addition of punctuation to the Greek New Testament.In addition to providing proof that the Fifth Revised Edition of the Greek New Testament is supernatural and inerrant, this book also addresses doctrinal issues. Some of the questions answered in this book include the following: can Christian women wear braided hair, adorn themselves with jewelry, and teach adult men in Sunday school? Can Christians engage in physical warfare? Did the Biblical Israelites include the bloodline of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar? Does the report of Paul's conversion in Acts chapter 9 conflict with the report of his conversion in Galatians 1:16&17? Is there discrepancy between the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the four Gospels? What does the New Testament teach regarding free will verses predestination? Answers to these questions, as well as answers to other questions, are brought to light through Scripture.

Download or read book The Supernatural in the New Testament written by Bruce Norman Kaye and published by James Clarke & Co.. This book was released on 1977 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people read the New Testament they are sometimes puzzled by the supernatural stories: miracles of healing, storms that are stilled, poisonous snakes with no effect and a wily Satan who engages in direct temptation. Some have no difficulty with such stories. This is the world of the Bible and the reader must expect such like. Those who cannot believe that have either abandoned the Bible and its world altogether or else they have devised ways of explaining (or explaining away ) events that puzzle them. Bruce Kaye seeks to avoid both extremes. Instead of asking what happened and how it happened he chooses instead to ask what it meant. Why did the early church relate and record these tales' And what did they mean' What did they say about God' So the reader begins to see that beyond the stories themselves there is truth about God and his world for every generation. Teachers will find useful lesson materials here, discussion group leaders will find something to start folk talking, and preachers will find a new approach to familiar passages. A companion volume, The Supernatural in the Old Testament by John Rogerson, is also published by the Lutterworth Press.

Download or read book Christianity And The Supernatural Why the Bible is Relevant Today written by Mark Apelt and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us want to believe in an afterlife. If it's true, then we must have a soul or spirit. We question this, however, because we are taught science has all the answers. It is science vs. the bible. Physical vs. supernatural. To believe in the afterlife is to believe in God. One area of research that has not been thoroughly examined in relationship to Christianity is the supernatural. This book explores how archaeology, scientific studies, and personal stories reveal the accuracy of the bible. Discover how we know we have a spirit, why select people encounter angels, and why some prayers are answered. It will show you that there is an afterlife, there is hope, and that there is a God! The stories of today resemble the stories of the bible. The mystical events that happened then are similar in almost all aspects to what the bible tells us will happen. Prophesies are continuing to be fulfilled. The foreknowledge He gave his chosen people are still applicable today. Angels are still sent to serve and protect us. Our spirit will rejoin with God as told by near-death experiencers. God does exist and millions of people (maybe even yourself) have witnessed Him through the supernatural. This leads to the conclusion- God, the bible, and the supernatural are relevant today.

Download or read book The Jefferson Bible written by Thomas Jefferson and published by Wyatt North Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2014-01-05 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the latter years of his life by cutting and pasting numerous sections from various Bibles as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's composition excluded sections of the New Testament containing supernatural aspects as well as perceived misinterpretations he believed had been added by the Four Evangelists. In 1895, the Smithsonian Institution under the leadership of librarian Cyrus Adler purchased the original Jefferson Bible from Jefferson's great-granddaughter Carolina Randolph for $400. A conservation effort commencing in 2009, in partnership with the museum's Political History department, allowed for a public unveiling in an exhibit open from November 11, 2011, through May 28, 2012, at the National Museum of American History.

Download or read book The Resurrection of Jesus written by Michael R Licona and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution. But then Licona carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Any future approaches to dealing with this 'prize puzzle' of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people read the Old Testament they are sometimes puzzled by the supernatural stories: animals that talk, jars of oil that are never empty, dead people restored to life, seas that divide and rivers that dry up.

Those who cannot believe that have either abandoned the Bible and its world altogether or else they have devised ways of explaining (or explaining away ) events that puzzle them.

Download or read book It s Not Supernatural It s Spiritual written by Jonas Palin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not Supernatural; It's Spiritual To "operate in the supernatural" is a statement that many churches state we as Christians should be able to do. But is that conceptually true according to scriptures? This book will examine whether or not this concept can be supported by the Bible. It will explore such topics as follows: • Is there a difference between "operating in the supernatural" and "being spiritual"? • Can we actually operate in the supernatural? • What is the difference and why is it so important to understand? • Why would Satan want us to operate in the supernatural? • What does God expect of us as his church? The answer to these questions and more will be thoroughly examined in the contents of this book. What the Bible says about these things may truly surprise you.

Download or read book Demons written by Michael S. Heiser and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth about demons is far stranger—and even more fascinating—than what's commonly believed. Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic. In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You'll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Magisterial. . . . A learned, brilliant and enjoyable study."—Géza Vermès, Times Literary Supplement In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the variety of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways that the new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached. This edition includes an introduction reviews the most recent scholarship on Jesus and its implications for both history and theology. "Brilliant and lucidly written, full of original and fascinating insights."—Reginald H. Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "This is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian."—James D. Tabor, Journal of Religion "Fredriksen confronts her documents—principally the writings of the New Testament—as an archaeologist would an especially rich complex site. With great care she distinguishes the literary images from historical fact. As she does so, she explains the images of Jesus in terms of the strategies and purposes of the writers Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."—Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor

Download or read book Angels written by Michael S. Heiser and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible really tell us about the heavenly host? Everyone knows that angels have wings, usually carry harps, and that each of us has our own personal guardian angel, right? We all have some preconceptions about angels from movies, television shows, and other media, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of those notions aren't based on anything from the Bible. If you read Luke 1:26-38 and imagine the angel Gabriel standing before Mary with neatly folded white wings, you're not getting that picture from anything the Bible itself says. What the Bible really says about angels is overlooked or filtered through popular myths. This book was written to help change that. It's a book about the loyal members of God's heavenly host, and while most people associate them with the word "angel," that's just one of many terms the Bible uses for supernatural beings. In The Unseen Realm, Michael Heiser opened the eyes of thousands to seeing the Bible through the supernatural worldview of the ancient world it was written in. In his latest book, Angels, Dr. Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God's supernatural servants. Heiser focuses on loyal, holy heavenly beings because the Bible has a lot more to say about them than most people suspect. Most people presume all there is to know about angels is what has been passed on in Christian tradition, but in reality, that tradition is quite incomplete and often inaccurate. Angels is not guided by traditions, stories, speculations, or myths about angels. Heiser's study is grounded in the terms the Bible itself uses to describe members of God's heavenly host; he examines the terms in their biblical context while drawing on insights from the wider context of the ancient Near Eastern world. The Bible's view on heavenly beings begins with Old Testament terms but then moves into literature from the Second Temple period--Jewish writings from around the 5th century BC to the 1st century AD. This literature from the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament influenced the New Testament writers in significant ways. With that important background established, the book focuses on what the New Testament tells us about God's holy ones. Finally, the book reflects on common misconceptions about angels and addresses why the topic is still important and relevant for Christians today.
