Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises many interrelated important issues in life and tries to clarify the spiritual facts and to tie the loose ends, according to the wisdom of Divine Love. The good news about Lord Christ Jesus being a vegan (a strict vegetarian), for Biblical reasons is expounded in this book so all nations can immediately convert to the Christian vegan religion of heaven; for the sake of God's Justice that must be served on earth. The book indeed is a must read for all people because the entire creation including mankind has only one Savior to understand, obey, learn from and follow in order to do God's will, to be justified of sins and to see the Kingdom of God in righteousness. Since science also belongs to Christianity and this true faith is about universal redemption, the pages of this book discuss in detail the interests, the well-beings and the freedom of all creatures. The main points discussed in here, from the Christian vegan perspectives are: why mankind should live to honor God, about the universally abiding laws given us by the supreme Creator, the Christian justice, the importance of Church unity, nutrition, balanced diet and related issues. The pages loudly echo the spirituality of animals and the normal feelings of all that live; encouraging mankind to choose environmentally friendly products and services instead of animal products or animal services. Every violent sport and entertainment that involves animals is denounced together with the modern day idolatry and animal slavery; urging God fearing people to actively love and defend all animals and the universe in the Holy Name of Christ Jesus now and always. The goal of the book is to help the entire human race grasp the urgency of the animal right issue so all can repent together, start to pray unceasingly, watch and work in order to heal the damaged environments spiritually also work to restore world peace, order, equality among the earthly dwellers and lasting harmony. This book is indispensable for Bible scholars also for all God fearing people; it is animal friendly and can easily be used as a reference book or to instruct kids and adults in the non-violence principles of Christianity.

Download or read book Beyond the Abortion Wars written by Charles C. Camosy and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abortion debate in the United States is confused. Ratings-driven media coverage highlights extreme views and creates the illusion that we are stuck in a hopeless stalemate. In this book Charles Camosy argues that our polarized public discourse hides the fact that most Americans actually agree on the major issues at stake in abortion morality and law. Unpacking the complexity of the abortion issue, Camosy shows that placing oneself on either side of the typical polarizations -- pro-life vs. pro-choice, liberal vs. conservative, Democrat vs. Republican -- only serves to further confuse the debate and limits our ability to have fruitful dialogue. Camosy then proposes a new public policy that he believes is consistent with the beliefs of the broad majority of Americans and supported by the best ideas and arguments about abortion from both secular and religious sources.

Download or read book The Lost Religion of Jesus written by Keith Akers and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus' preaching was first and foremost about simple living, pacifism, and vegetarianism; he never intended to create a new religion separate from Judaism. Moreover, Jesus' radical Jewish ethics, rather than a new theology, distinguished him and his followers from other Jews. It was the earliest followers of Jesus, the Jewish Christians, who understood Jesus better than any of the gentile Christian groups, which are the spiritual ancestors of modern Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches. In this detailed and accessible study, Keith Akers uncovers the history of Jewish Christianity from its origins in the Essenes and John the Baptist, through Jesus, until its disappearance into Islamic mysticism sometime in the seventh or eighth century. Akers argues that only by really understanding this mysterious and much misunderstood strand of early Christianity can we get to the heart of the radical message of Jesus of Nazareth.

Download or read book The Vegan Bible written by Norval Huskey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vegan Guide to the Holy Scriptures leads you down a path towards The Garden of Eden. That fantasy land of Peace and Loving-kindness may be our next evolutionary step. Most people realize that the way the world of Death and Disease has taken over is not right or healthy in any way. The Veganism Movement will heal mankind thus healing the world as well. The modern thinking Vegan is ready to meet and overcome any non-Vegan resistance by learning every thing connected to the purpose of Veganism. There is a spiritual side of Veganism to consider and The Vegan Bible is a great place to begin researching the real history of our Mother earth and Father God. Most people never knew that the God of The Holy Bible is Vegan. This one little fact changes the face of society from innocent meat eaters to a mob of evil dead-flesh worshipers, especially the ones that refuse to accept the truth of our Vegan world. Don't be one of them. The right way is always the best way to live and enjoy the good health and clean conscious that the Vegan way of life represents. Now you will have all of the Vegan Holy Scriptures at your fingertips to rise over anyone whom decides to support their meat eating habits by miss-quoting The Holy Scriptures. The Vegan Bible proves that God and Jesus Christ are Vegans as well as some of the Holiest Prophets. Was Cain really the cold hearted monster we were taught he was or was he just an angry Vegan unwilling to control his temper? And who is this Lord God character that keeps on trying to ruin everyone's lives? Was Jesus Christ targeted by the religious leaders of His time for taking a firm stand against animal sacrifices? Did He offer his life as a one time human sacrifice to try and save them. By threatening the financial security of those selling the sacrificial animals this put a price on his head. His teachings of Love were not only aimed at people but they were for all living creatures. His personal sacrifice did put an end to most religiously motivated animal sacrifice in the world. Before Jesus Christ there was only a blood thirsty Lord God to pay off with daily sacrifices which was for sale at the Holy Temples. Now we face a world lost in a cloud of ignorance teaching our children it is normal and right to consume dead animal flesh and this has got to stop. We must learn everything there is to know about Veganism so we can begin to heal our world and save our souls. I have dedicated the rest of my life to the study and research of the Ancient Vegan Creation Story as it is found in every copy of the Bible that exist. Proving that we have an all-loving Father God that is Vegan was only the beginning of what I have discovered. The magnitude of this one important fact has yet to reach the ears of the normal every day church goer. The implications of the facts presented in the pages of The Vegan Bible is destined to cause some uproar with the religious institutions and their religious dogma. Why was it such a crime in the dark ages to be a Christian? Did the term Christian mean Vegan and were they hunted, tortured, burned and killed for the same reason that Jesus Christ was. Have you ever seen a normal person go into a fit of rage when you tried to explain Veganism to them? The Vegan Bible will help answer many religious questions and provide morally correct Vegan answers. It used to be just a matter of Faith but now the Medical Science is proving our Vegan heritage. Veganism is growing and it will influence the greater populations of every country. I hope that you are ready for The Vegan Apocalypse. Thank You.

Download or read book Vegangelical written by Sarah Withrow King and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many pressing social concerns that have galvanized evangelical Christians’ response—abortion, human trafficking, environmental degradation, and many others—the care of animals has received relatively little attention. Yet as author Sarah Withrow King deftly uncovers in Vegangelical, animal stewardship is a necessary aspect of a holistic ethic of Christian peace and justice. Indeed, care for animal welfare correspondingly strengthens our care for environmental and human flourishing. Practical, restrained in its conclusions, and grounded on a broader theology of Christian compassion, Vegangelical calls readers to a greater attentiveness to one of the primary relationships in God’s created order, that between humans and animals.

Download or read book Dominion over Wildlife written by Stephen M. Vantassel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries Christians believed that God granted humanity dominion over the animal kingdom, meaning that we had a moral right to kill, manage, and eat animals including wildlife. Recently, however, environmental and animal rights activists have assaulted this traditional perspective. They argue that dominion as expressed in meat eating and hunting has resulted in species extinction and environmental degradation. Christian Animal Rights (CAR) activists suggest that the church must reevaluate its traditional beliefs in light of the fact that God's original creation was free of human on animal violence. God, they argue, did not want man's dominion to be expressed through trapping, killing, and eating of animals. These violent activities only came about after the Fall, as God condescended to our hardness of heart. CAR activists point to Christ's sacrificial work of reconciliation as a model for modern Christian behavior: as Christ sacrificed for us, we should avoid eating meat and hunting as ways we can participate in Christ's non-violent work of reconciling creation to himself. In this book, Stephen Vantassel investigates the biblical, ethical, and scientific arguments employed by the CAR movement concerning human-wildlife relations. In this regard, the book engages in practical theology by addressing several important questions: How should Christians treat our wildlife neighbors? Has the Church been wrong in its understanding of human dominion? Does God want Christians to avoid hunting, trapping, fishing, and adopt a vegetarian lifestyle? This book provides answers to these questions by detailing a theology the author calls, "Shepherdism."

Download or read book God Unbound written by Brian McLaren and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology, says Brian McLaren, is at its best when it is in conversation with the wild world that flourishes beyond our walls and outside our windows and cities. In God Unbound, McLaren follows his love of nature all the way to the Galapagos Islands. There, he pays close attention to the flora and fauna around him but also to what is happening within him, how the natural world awakens his soul in a way that organized religion cannot. The result is a sparkling and engrossing theology which refuses to remain indoors.

Download or read book For Love of Animals written by Charles Camosy and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Love of Animals is an honest and thoughtful look at our responsibility as Christians with respect to animals. Many Christians misunderstand both history and their own tradition in thinking about animals. They are joined by prominent secular thinkers who blame Christianity for the Western world's failure to seriously consider the moral status of nonhuman animals. This book explains how traditional Christian ideas and principles—like nonviolence, concern for the vulnerable, respect for life, stewardship of God's creation, and rejection of consumerism—require us to treat animals morally. Though this point of view is often thought of as liberal, the book cites several conservatives who are also concerned about animals. Camosy's Christian argument transcends secular politics. The book's starting point for a Christian position on animals—from the creation story in Genesis to Jesus's eating habits in the Gospels—rests in Scripture. It then moves to explore the views of the Church Fathers, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and current discussions in both Catholic and Protestant theology. Ultimately, however, the book is concerned not with abstract ideas, but with how we should live our everyday lives. Should Christians eat meat? Is cooperation with factory farming evil? What sort of medical research on animals is justified? Camosy also asks difficult questions about hunting and pet ownership. This is an ideal resource for those who are interested in thinking about animals from the perspective of Christian ethics and the consistent ethic of life. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter and suggestions for further reading round out the usefulness of this important work.
