Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.
Download or read book Who is God and why did they lie us written by Asparuh Chorbadzhiev and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is changing. The world we live in has always changed. Changes can be dynamic or smooth. Immersed in our daily lives, we rarely think about the reasons why the world is changing. If we still have time to think, it will not be difficult to realize that we are these reasons. If we are able to realize this, we are not far from the logic that we can control change. Not individually, but as a conscious society. The changes we have registered so far are summarized as the history of mankind. […] Everyone wants a better life. This is only possible if we make the world we live in better. And we are constantly trying to do just that. […] Although provided in different ways according to the respective society and the respective epoch, the teaching has always been the same in its essence. This teaching is so universal that it cannot be changed. Change can only exist in the way we realize it. In order to be properly aware, we only need to update the way we pass on the teachings to the generations to come. Mankind today, as a whole, has realized that unification is needed to continue our proper development. At the same time, there is a division by different criteria and to different degrees. One of these divisions is faith in God. Most of those who deny it believe that we were created by chance by nature. This is also an interesting version, but it does not help much for proper upbringing. Very often people interpret this option as follows. Man is the greatest creation of nature. So great that it is greater than its creator. And little by little, without realizing it, people begin to boast. Once we succumb to selfishness, the worst of all human vices, we take the wrong path that can inevitably lead all of humanity to self-destruction. The second group in this division are people who believe in God. If the faith of those who claim to have it is true, they follow the teachings on which the claim of God, creator of the world and men, is based. If these teachings are the same, it would lead to the unification of humanity. If the result is the opposite, then we have not fulfilled the basic testament of the doctrine. This means that we have changed it and passed it on in the wrong way to the next generations. There is a third group in the same division. These are the people who realize that God and nature is one and the same thing. These people are trying to modernize the teaching and make it understandable to everyone. This would help people realize the need for unification as a prerequisite for achieving change in the world for the better. In personal aspect, if everyone tries to become a better person then the world will simply become better. If one believes the world can be better, there is no difference from believe in God. It’s just a different manifest of faith. Without faith, we can easily ‘sell our souls’. The book “Who is God and why did they lie us” is an attempt to explain this in a simple way. Asparuh Chorbadzhiev was born on August, 25th 1970 in Varna, Bulgaria. In 1988 he graduated at the Maritime College in Varna. At those years, a seaman profession was one of the possibilities to allow him travel around the world. To continue this career, later he went to the Naval Academy. For the past 30 years he sailed on most type of ships, meeting people from all over the world. As he would put it, reading books is another way to travel, in time and space. His interest in reading led him to the books with alternative knowledge and also to the great spiritual teachers. This helped him reach answers to eternal questions. What has been achieved is best to be shared. And that is exactly what is done in this book.
Download or read book The True Account of Adam and Eve written by Ken Ham and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where mankind’s history began impacts how our future will end! The biblical answer to the question: Were Adam and Eve real people or just generic references for all of mankind? Explains the connection between original sin and the gospel Emphasizes the importance of Adam and Eve as literal history to young and old alike When you unlock the door to biblical compromise, the door gets pushed open wider with each generation. The Church is now debating the validity of Genesis as actual history, the reality of hell itself, and even if Adam was a real person. Trying to change the biblical time-line to fit with the secular concepts of millions of years has led many in Christian academia to reject the literal interpretation of the Bible itself. Perfect for children, the book helps them discover the truth about the first man and woman, and how their disobedience led to the need for Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: From the author of the twenty-five-million-copy bestseller The Shack comes a captivating new novel destined to be one of the most talked-about books of the decade. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship—yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations. When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside—broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers that her genetic code connects her to every known race. No one would guess what her survival will mean… No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her “daughter” and invites her to witness the truth about her own story—indeed, the truth about us all. As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden. Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.

Download or read book Awaiting a Savior The Gospel the New Creation and the End of Poverty written by Aaron Armstrong and published by Cruciform Press. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Where does poverty come from? What am I supposed to do about it?" These questions are driving a new generation of Christians to take action on behalf of the poor through social and political action, global partnerships, and financial generosity, as they desire to become the generation that ends poverty forever. But in pursuit of this goal, they risk losing sight of a fundamental reality: the root cause of poverty isn't found in material or external circumstances. The root cause of poverty is sin--and sin is not a problem we can solve. But Jesus can. In Awaiting a Savior, Aaron Armstrong reminds readers that even as we are responsible for pursuing biblical solutions to poverty, our hope for truly resolving it comes not from the good we do, but from the return of Christ, who will once and for all put an end to sin, suffering and death as he brings about the new creation.

Thinking maybe you shouldn’t completely surrender to Him, that you’re better off in charge of your own life? Well, say hello to the father of these lies: Satan.

In God Can Not Be Trusted (and Five Other Lies of Satan), you’ll discover how to recognize the devil’s six ancient tactics, and claim victory over each one.

You’ll never be duped by them again, free to live abundantly in light of God’s truth! Have You Been Fooled? God must be out to get me. I’m better off doing my own thing. Sure it’s a sin, but I can get away with it! Do you recognize these thoughts? Then you have been fooled. And Satan is laughing. Because if he can deceive you, he will destroy your state of mind, ruin your relationships, and steal your joy. Do not let him. Dr. Tony Evans equips you to recognize Satan’s conniving tactics and boldly declare his lies for what they are. Winning this game is easier than you may think. And victorious living in light of God’s truth is your daily reward! Story Behind the Book A common theme emerged as Tony Evans held counseling sessions with countless individuals. People seemed completely unaware of how the spiritual realm was at work in their lives. “They saw clearly with their physical eyes,” he says, “but remained unaware of the evil, unseen spiritual activity that either caused or aggravated their physical world. Even in my own life, when I faced challenges or struggles, I would often reference the physical system without first looking at the spiritual cause,” says Tony. “Thus this book’s message was born to more effectively help people understand and address their struggles from a spiritual point of view.”
