Download or read book Whose Witnesses written by Cheryl Arnold and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whose Witnesses?" is a book that intends to expose the truth behind what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach. This is not a book of exposition that refutes line by line what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe. I thank the Lord that there are many of those available already. Instead, this book will show the reader that there is one main point that the Jehovah's Witnesses press harder than any other and it is a foundational doctrine of theirs. It is this: They insist that Jesus Christ is not God...they deny His Deity. All other doctrines of theirs are secondary. This book will show how the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is God and that there is no salvation apart from receiving this truth. Jesus is the Son of God but the Word teaches us that He is also God the Son. This is the gospel He taught of Himself and any other teaching is what the Word refers to as another gospel. We pray that this book will be used to lead many into the loving arms of their God and Savior Jesus Christ by illuminating the glorious gospel He taught about Himself. Cheryl lives in South Carolina with her husband Tim and their two children, Garrett and Melanie. She has a deep love for the Lord and His Word and desires that the body of Christ would be filled with the knowledge of God's will by His Spirit and through His Word so we can be light to a dark world.

Download or read book To Give Witness written by Gordon Kunkler and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book also for a number of reasons. There are people and organizations that want to take our faith and beliefs away from us. In many ways, we have already lost a lot of ground and some of our ways of practicing our faith. Our forefathers came to this country for freedom of faith. They were tired of being told how they had to worship God or that they couldn't do this or that. Our country was founded on the idea of freedom of religion. We have the right to worship where and when we feel like worshiping God. By doing this, I am not telling anyone else what they can do or how to worship. I am just practicing my faith. Others are free to not worship and stay home on Sundays and do nothing if this is what makes them happy. But they don't need to tell me where I can hang a picture of Jesus, put up a cross or sign, or where I can pray to my savior. I have showed in this book where we have lost some of our freedom because we did nothing. Those with money have won out in many ways. We may not be rich in money, but we all have a voice and legs to stand on. We can't convince anyone that we are right by saying, "Okay, we won't defend what we believe." This we have done too often. The prophets were perhaps the first to give witness to us and then Jesus and then the apostles and the church after that. All of creation, if we look at what God has created and is still creating, should all be witnesses. The big bang theory just doesn't work. Everything had to begin with something. Where did this something come from if not from an all-knowing supreme being. This I all tried to bring out in my book, as well as the time when God spoke for himself when the sky opened and a voice from the clouds said, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him." In this book, I have witnessed again and also some of my friends have given their witness in hope of convincing others how important our faith is and how we all need to respond to attacks on our faith. If you want to share your faith in Jesus and how you have seen God work in your life, I would like to tell you to maybe write your own book. If you say that it isn't possible for you to write, I would like you to send me the story of God's work in your life. When I get enough, I may have another book to write. If God wants you to write, he will help you. He helped me. A few years ago, a friend read my first book and shared her story with me. I told her that she should write her own book, and she did; in fact, she has written several. Her name is Vicki Leigh. I shared a part of her story in this book. Will you stand up or speak for your faith?
Download or read book Witness at the Cross written by Amy-Jill Levine and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place yourself as a witness of the cross and determine what your own testimony will be! Experience Holy Friday from the perspective of those who watched Jesus die: Mary his mother; the Beloved Disciple from the Gospel of John; Mary Magdalene and the other women from Galilee; the two men, usually identified as thieves, crucified with Jesus; the centurion and the soldiers; Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. Jews and Romans, friends and strangers, the powerful and the powerless, the hopeful and the despairing. The story of Jesus’s death is not something we just read: we think about it, and we experience it; we hear the taunts of the soldiers, the priests, and the passersby even as we hear the famous “seven last words” from the cross. In Witness at the Cross, Amy-Jill Levine shows how the people at the cross each have distinct roles to play. Each Evangelist presents a distinct picture of the death of Jesus. Each portrays different individuals and groups of people at the cross, each offers different images and dialogues, and so from each, we learn how those meanings and messages cross the centuries to any who would come to the cross today. Each Gospel has its own story to tell, all the witnesses have their own memories, and every reader comes away with a new insight. The witnesses at the Crucifixion watch Jesus die, and we watch with them, and we watch them. And we come away transformed. Additional components are available for a six-week study include a DVD featuring Dr. Levine and a comprehensive Leader Guide.

Download or read book The TWO WITNESSES Vol II written by Douglas W. Krieger and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identity of the Two Witnesses, and when they shall appear upon the prophetic scene, takes an eschatological back seat to what they actually do. We have entered the cosmic courtroom of the Almighty--this is the purpose of John's Revelation. The Lamb is coming in judgment and His judgment is altogether righteous; however, prior to the verdict and subsequent sentencing, the witnesses must come forth to testify--literally to prophesy. They are not the accused. They are the plaintiffs. These witnesses have been compiling evidence nigh 4,000 years against an implacable foe who knows he has but a short time. It is time to present the facts. Why? Because literally millions have paid with their very lives. These are the slain--martyred; whose blood cries out from beneath the altar to be avenged. On trial is a thief and a robber, a murderer from the very beginning of history--one who came to steal, to kill and to destroy. He has done everything imaginable to intimidate the witnesses, lest he be convicted of his high crimes and misdemeanors against God and humankind. His identity is known to all. The trial, although taking place for centuries wherein scores of testimonies have been given by countless souls from every tribe, nation, tongue, people and even from kings against this Destroyer and Desolator--has entered its formidable and final seven-year phase. Alas! From the murky abyss arises a figure to accuse the brethren one more time--but they are not on trial--the Devil, Satan, the Dragon, the Beast and False Prophet are and all they "who dwell on the earth" are on trial. It will appear throughout this text that fear and intimidation--you can call it "witness tampering to the uttermost" will and has been incessantly used by this crafty deceiver who repeatedly either murdered the faithful followers or tried to bribe them from giving testimony against his evil cabal. The word for "witness" in the Bible's Greek has its root in the word "martyr" - for these witnesses upon giving the culmination of their testimony against the Wicked One's Great City, Babylon . . . against his apostate religious, exploitative commercial and corrupted political system know full-well that if they do so, and they most definitely will, they most likely will have to pay with their lives, so costly will be their disclosures. But they know, as well, a "great cloud of witnesses" have gone on before them; many perished for the same reasons and many of them survived his onslaughts.Eventually, the witnesses are as prophets; willing to tell all and to persuade multitudes to believe there's a better life beyond this temporal pale where true justice and lasting peace abides forevermore."The Two Witnesses" are bigger than life. The closer you move into their history, past, present and future, you inevitably discover that without their unmitigated testimony and final flurry of intimidation, along with their willingness to lay down their lives, if need be, to gain that final climactic verdict, sentence and execution against their foe . . . the more you realize it was worth it all: "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"This is not an easy read--it is a theological bombshell whose ramifications at the close of this age are staggering. Today, the Two Olive Trees and the Two Lampstands, so identified as these Two Prophets, Two Witnesses, in Revelation 11, are engaged in a divine drama whose end was prophesied nearly 4,000 years ago, and some say nigh 6,000 years. These two volumes may constitute the magnum opus of Israel and the Church in the Latter Days. The Court is calling forth His witnesses . . . and wouldn't you know it: You might be one of them! Now's no time to run from it--you can't you've been subpoenaed to testify and there's no turning back. You will testify for some 1,260 days with power and authority. Will the witnesses tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? YES!

Download or read book The TWO WITNESSES Vol I written by Douglas W. Krieger and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weltungschuug is a German word meaning "world view" but more so--how you act based upon your world view. "The Two Witnesses" is a veritable magnum opus regarding the "end of days" relationship between Israel (a.k.a. National Israel and the Jews of the Diaspora) and the "prophetic" Church of the "last days." It will determine your world view and ipso facto, as Francis Schaffer's famous text states: "How Shall We Then Live?" The Eschatology wrought by Dispensationalism heightened among the faithful Israel's peculiar Latter Days' incursion upon the world stage through Zionism's ultimate quest for an "Eretz Israel" - today's State of Israel. Israel's materiality has become a "cup of trembling" to all the nations "round about" and, as well, a theological imbroglio, a veritable Gordian Knot around the Church's neck: Either Israel is naught but a fluke of history, wholly insignificant, a creation of Western idealism gone amok, and worse, nothing more than a guilt-ridden expression devolved into an unjustifiable apartheid state . . . a pariah within democracy and a contradiction of the universal rights of man; in sum, an utter embarrassment to the West interminably complicating Western foreign policy . . . or she persists as the utmost hope lurching toward Messianic deliverance and the miraculous intrusion of the Son of Man within our confused and militarized affairs, righting our Humpty Dumpty back together again wherein peace, justice and harmony takes on a Platonic expression of Magnesia or, better said, that of the New Jerusalem.The two volumes presents a cosmic view of the Two Witnesses announced in Revelation 11--they are not X-Men. Sorry, such a parochial designation is the total antithesis of the Scripture's intent--if you read this, you'll soon find out that the overarching culmination of their JOINT WITNESS comports to a minimum of 4,000 years of human history compacted into the close of this age within the crucible of Daniel's 70th Week. Indeed, replacement theologians and their religious Historicism view of how all this pans out in the end, embrace the notion that Daniel's final Week, the Seventieth Week, terminated shortly after the crucifixion of Jesus--i.e., there is no futurity to Daniel's Week. Alas! Not only is there a gap between the first and second comings of Christ, there is, most definitely such a gap between the 69th and 70th Week of the Daniel 9 cardinal prophecy.What's that got to do with paying your bills? Much in every way. This author who initially saw the identity of the Two Witnesses around 1981 and, subsequently, embarked upon a dialogue with Judaism and then directly with Israeli citizens and officials, went so far as to unite with like-minded Christians and American Jewry (all branches) in drafting what became known as the Washington Declaration--the first ever, as far as we know, of Christians and Jews uniting around the prophetic significance of Israel's in-gathering into their ancient homeland. Over 120 leaders from both communities signed on to the declaration made in Washington, D.C.Notwithstanding this initial outburst, this author found it increasingly difficult to pursue that relationship in that a strong eschatological basis as to WHY and WHEN and HOW that finality could take place within the context of our Weltungschuug and the chasm of separation which existed between the "People of the Book" given the inherent "Messianic tension"--much of which was caused by the theological-eschatological separation caused by dispensationalism itself. As Reggie Kelly states: Distinction, yes - Separation, no! Thus, fast forward thirty-three years: THE TWO WITNESSES...a compendium of writings which have survived these three decades the building of a theological basis for the present and into the immediate future of these, "the end of days." As it turns out, most of you reading this ARE part of the Two Witnesses--best pay close attention... this will challenge your Weltungschuug!

Download or read book The Witness written by Naomi Kryske and published by Naomi Kryske. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jennifer Jeffries, a young Texan traveling in London, is kidnapped, becoming the victim of a violent assault. When she survives, the British detective in charge of her case needs her to testify against the serial killer who attacked her. Led by a tough ex-Special Forces sergeant with a warrior's mindset, her witness protection team tries to support her as she prepares to appear in one of London's Crown Courts. This British detective suspense novel moves from a realistic depiction of the female protagonist's PTSD to fast-paced courtroom scenes to the difficulties that traumatized individuals face as they struggle to regain personal power. The Witness breaks new ground by showing the enduring effects trauma can have on a life. The first of a trilogy, this work of crime suspense fiction contains the same psychological intensity as Anna Quindlen's Black and Blue, but while Ms. Quindlen's protagonist endures, Ms. Kryske's triumphs. Strong, complex male characters make this novel an entertaining, inspiring, and compelling read.
Download or read book Witness written by Kitty Nolan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I set about writing this book after a period of time working to raise the issue of gender-based violence with my own church. The more I researched, the more aware I became that very few published accounts from survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) were available. Each time I gave a talk on gender-based violence, several people would speak to me about someone they knew who had lived with this type of violence, and others would talk about their own situations of abuse. Womens aid organizations have published a lot of excellent material, including a few anthologies of poetry and prose written by survivors. I wanted to write a book giving a survivors account, which also included a view from the onlookera sister, a friend, a doctor, a sister-in-lawso those living the experience know they are not alone, so those who have survived can hear an echo of their experience, and so those who are interested in trying to understand the reality of living with gender-based violence can begin to walk a while in the GBV survivors shoes.
