Download or read book Mysteries of Genesis written by Charles Fillmore and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK OF GENESIS is the key to the Bible. In the New Testament it is quoted twenty-seven times literally and thirty-eight times substantially. It tells in a very few words how God first imaged man and the universe and then turned the development over to Jehovah, who has been in a process of manifestation for ages and aeons. The "Five Books of Moses," of which Genesis is the first, have always been credited to Moses, but that he was the author seems doubtful in the face of the many stories of creation found in the legends and hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, Chaldea, and other nations that are almost identical with those of Genesis. It would thus seem that Moses edited the legends of the ages and compiled them into an allegorical history of creation. The truths in this book will be revealed to the reader through his own spiritual unfoldment. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The spiritual revelations that you seem to get from books and teachers already existed as submerged experiences in your own soul. The essential truths have been worked out in this or previous incarnations, and when you were reminded of the buried idea it blazed forth as a light from without. So all that you are or ever will be must come from your own spiritual achievements.

Download or read book Timeless Awakening written by Robert Twigg and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Marshal is retiring from his position as a history professor at the University of Washington. The highlight of his retirement is a field expedition to Saqqara, Egypt, where he will manage the excavation of a mastaba, a burial mound that was recently discovered. The trip is planned for September-but, two weeks before Stanley and his assistant, Carlson Kramer, are scheduled to leave for Egypt, the professor receives an early morning call from a representative of the American Research Center in Egypt... ...an organization that has supported Stanley's work over the years. The ARCE representative informs Stanley that he must leave for Egypt immediately and travel to Giza because of an event that has taken place there in the last few days. Although Stanley protests the abrupt change in his plans, he agrees to make the flight the organization has booked for him and his assistant with the condition that travel arrangements are also made for a former student, Janice Totten... ...to whom the professor has become very close. The trip to Giza turns out to be a gathering of the world's best scientists and historians. Under the leadership of Alam Al-Moshara, an important ARCE representative, the scholars are confined to a local hotel for the purpose of working together to uncover the cause of several electromagnetic disturbances that have occurred just days before the group's arrival. Professor Stanley's knowledge of Egyptian history and the pyramids becomes significant to the Egyptian government and the global community as they discover the source of the devastating disturbance that makes itself visible over the great pyramids, and then expands across the earth. ...What they find may be the end, or is it a Timeless Awakening? Timeless Awakening takes us on an imaginary, technological journey to look at a civilization that has survived for over a million years, and has developed the means to control and manipulate the most fundamental physical laws of our universe, space, time, and gravity.

Download or read book Genesis Translation and Commentary written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1997-09-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Here is] the Genesis for our generation and beyond."—Robert Fagles Genesis begins with the making of heaven and earth and all life, and ends with the image of a mummy—Joseph's—in a coffin. In between come many of the primal stories in Western culture: Adam and Eve's expulsion from the garden of Eden, Cain's murder of Abel, Noah and the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham's binding of Isaac, the covenant of God and Abraham, Isaac's blessing of Jacob in place of Esau, the saga of Joseph and his brothers. In Robert Alter's brilliant translation, these stories cohere in a powerful narrative of the tortuous relations between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, eldest and younger brothers, God and his chosen people, the people of Israel and their neighbors. Alter's translation honors the meanings and literary strategies of the ancient Hebrew and conveys them in fluent English prose. It recovers a Genesis with the continuity of theme and motif of a wholly conceived and fully realized book. His insightful, fully informed commentary illuminates the book in all its dimensions.

Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Let There Be Light written by Howard Smith, Ph.D. and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Let There Be Light, Howard Smith, a research astrophysicist and traditionally observant Jew, explores how modern scientific understandings of the cosmos complement Judaism's ancient mystical theology, the Kabbalah. He argues that science and religion are not only compatible, but that a healthy, productive dialogue between the two sheds light on ethics, free will, and the nature of life, while at the same time rejecting fundamentalist misinterpretation and the pseudoscience of creationism. Written for a general audience, yet supported by the most current and accurate scientific research, the book discusses topics such as modern quantum mechanics and mystical notions of awareness; how Kabbalah's ten sefirot mirror the developing phases of an inflationary universe; and the surprising parallels that exist between the Big Bang theory and Kabbalah's origin theory. Smith delves into complex ideas without resorting to jargon or mathematical equations, creating an intelligent, authoritative work accessible to all readers.

Download or read book The Pleasures of God written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Download or read book Without Form and Void written by Arthur C Custance and published by Classic Reprint Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered a classic in Christian apologetics, this scholarly analysis of the Biblical phrase "without form and void," from the opening chapter of Genesis, observes the rules of linguistics, of grammar and syntax, and also examines how words are used in the rest of Scripture. This book has been described as the best argument that has ever been written for the Gap Theory. A well respected Canadian scientist himself, and listed in the 1971 American Men in Science, Dr. Custance contends that we should not allow science to determine what Scripture says. Neither should we allow Scripture to determine what the scientist observes in the laboratory. Yet observed fact in the one cannot, ultimately, conflict with revealed fact in the other. Any conflict, then, is in the interpretation of the facts - not in the facts themselves.

Download or read book The Mystery of The Waters written by Bunmi Anike Binitie and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to teach the Believer, especially Missionaries, the practicalities of what to do when faced with the troubled waters of life. We need to immediately discern between the waters of training from the Lord and satanic floods of affliction; because the next steps we would need to take do differ in either situation. There are copious prayers strewn all over the book to train us how to pray to God as we seek His help to see us through each episode so that the waters would take us up and closer to Him in our walk with Him rather than give us a Kadesh Barnea experience of going back to square one and round and round the same mountain, never moving forward in our Christian race and expiring before we reach our Promised Land... heaven forbid!
