Download or read book Yeshua the Crucified Serpent written by Rowland Stenrud and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the atheist, Jean Paul Sartre, who once said that, "Hell is other people." Rowland Stenrud's Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent is about how mankind's savior, Jesus of Nazareth, has saved men and women from this hell by making it possible, and indeed inevitable, for human beings to love one another and their Creator-Father, Yahweh God. This book is about the concept and practice of human and divine love. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, the Bible as a whole, and the reader's life experience will help in defining this. The author reviews what he knows about the concept and its related precepts and brings them to bear in this book. God himself is love, which should tell us how mysterious a thing love is. To acquire this ability to love, one must suffer in union with the suffering Christ. Salvation, pure and simple, is God delivering each one from the inability to love other human beings and the Creator Himself. The obstacle to this perfect love is the serpent of human wisdom and pride that existed even in Jesus. In his loving obedience to the Father, Jesus nailed this serpent to the cross. Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent attempts to show that the question of evil and suffering in the world is answered by Yahweh's eventual success in saving all of mankind. The majority of Christians believe in a number of key doctrines that the biblical authors do not unequivocally teach. A few verses may support these unbiblical doctrines but a greater number of verses, whose meaning is clearer, contradict the standard interpretation of these few verses. Other doctrines that Christians mistakenly believe in find support in this or that section of the Bible but are denied by the general thrust of the Bible as a whole. These unbiblical doctrines followed by the correct biblical teaching are: 1. Sometime in the distant past a large number of God's angels rebelled against Him becoming what are called devils or demons whose leader is known as Satan or Lucifer. The Bible teaches that the only agent of evil in the universe is man's heart. 2. Adam and Eve possessed the perfection of Jesus Christ before they sinned. If they had not sinned they would not have needed to be healed of any weakness. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve could not have had eternal life even before they sinned without the work of Jesus of Nazareth. 3. Faith is an act of the free will of man. The Bible teaches that faith does involve man putting his trust in God's promises and revelation, but it is primarily a power given to man by God in order to enable him to see spiritual truth the natural man cannot see. Without this gift of the Holy Spirit, no human being can know God and be saved. 4. Ultimately speaking, we are saved by our faith. On the contrary, it is through Jesus's faith in and love for the Father that is the instrument of our salvation. 5. Jesus saved us by paying the penalty due our sins and therefore saving us from the just wrath of God. This is false. No one had to pay any penalty for God to forgive the sins of the human race. God relates to sinners on the basis of mercy and mercy is not mercy if the penalty for sin is paid. By going to the cross, Jesus healed our brokenness which forgiveness alone could not accomplish. 6. Satan and the sins of men are ultimately responsible for human suffering. False. God is ultimately responsible for human suffering as it is a necessary part of God's work of saving human beings. God Himself shares in all of our suffering: physical, emotional and spiritual even though He does not have a body or nervous system. 7. Salvation is about our eternal destiny. This is not correct. Salvation is about being saved from the idolatries, addictions, corruption, hatreds, evil deeds that afflict the unsav

Download or read book The Good And Evil Serpent written by James H. Charlesworth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of the brazen serpent is a simple to read book that unveils to us the plan of God for redeeming man-kind from the Old Testament to the New Testament. It enlightens our understanding that the Old Testament was a shadow of the better things the Lord had in store for us as believers. It shows us how the Lord God took what the devil meant for evil through the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden to the perfect sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Just as Moses, the flame bearer of the law lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, so Jesus Christ, the flame bearer of grace and truth was lifted on the cross of Calvary, spoiling the works of principalities and powers. Once you understand the mystery of the brazen serpent, you can activate the power of the finished work of Jesus Christ, to turn your life from zero to a hero in the kingdom of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's been an on going struggle between the seed of Satan and the seed of God. Satan has tried numerous times to contaminate the bloodline in which the Messiah of Israel would come. It's been a game of chess between the God of Israel who would bring about these Messianic prophecies, and the enemy of the Jewish people who would like nothing more than to destroy the Jews and those prophecies. To eliminate Israel is to eliminate the promises of God and the return of Jesus. Satan has raised empire after empire, dictator after dictator in his quest to destroy the Jews. These empires no longer exist but the Jewish people still remain. God has made promises to the Jewish prophets that he would preserve the Jewish people. God has preserved the Messianic bloodline in order to bring about those prophecies despite satanic attempts to eliminate them. In this book we go to the very beginning to see how this conflict began and where it will culminate in the greatest battle of all time according to Bible prophecy. August Rosado is the founder of Today in Bible Prophecy Ministries based in Corpus Christi Texas. He travels the country as he preaches at Churches on the soon return of Jesus the Messiah.

Download or read book Them That Believe written by Ralph Hood and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although outlawed in many states, serpent handling remains an active religious practice—and one that is far more stereotyped than understood. Ralph W. Hood, Jr. and W. Paul Williamson have spent fifteen years touring serpent-handling churches in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and West Virginia, conducting scores of interviews with serpent handlers, and witnessing hundreds of serpent-handling services. In this illuminating book they present the most in-depth, comprehensive study of serpent handling to date. Them That Believe not only explores facets of this religious practice—including handling, preaching, and the near-death experiences of individuals who were bitten but survived—but also provides a rich analysis of this phenomenon from historical, social, religious, and psychological perspectives.

Download or read book The Old Serpent Chained written by Son of man and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-08-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sword of Revelation delivers the deadly wound to the first beast, but will the deadly wound be healed as foretold? Do Christians truly understand the nature of the kind and compassionate Father as described by Christ? Do those Christians who consider themselves to be the disciples of Christ in the world today really know how to judge what is of God’s spirit as opposed to what is evil? Not many Christians understand the lesson of calling fire from heaven, and in fact a great majority of them would still make that same error in judgment today for which Jesus rebuked his disciples over two thousand years ago. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and what greater way is there to corrupt people absolutely than to have them believe that they are on God’s side in a war against the unbelievers? Are Christians today armed with the Word of God as their defense against the deceiver warned in the book of Revelation? Or will the future deceiver instead arm himself with the Word of God to use as the very instrument of their deception? Now the time indeed has come for both Christians and Jews alike to judge for themselves what is the holy nature of the Father’s kindness and compassion, and what could only truly be adjudicated as the cunning works of evil.

Download or read book The Serpent in Samuel written by Brian A. Verrett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Brian A. Verrett argues that 1–2 Samuel contains a serpent motif by practicing biblical theology and literary criticism. This motif derives from the serpent in Genesis 3, and its function within the Samuel narrative is to heighten the reader’s anticipation in the coming messiah, who is the son of David and the seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. This messiah will defeat the serpent and inaugurate his glorious reign over a renewed world. When 1–2 Samuel is read in this way, one appreciates previously unnoticed features of the text, understands aspects of the text that were formerly confusing, and rightly sees that the whole of 1–2 Samuel is a messianic document.
