Book excerpt: If Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad were back today, Jews would condemn the first as Anti-Semite, Christians would denounce the second as Anti-Christ, and Muslims would revile the third as the Dajjal (The Great Imposter). Imagine a religion that its members worship the murder weapon, perform rituals to pretend that they are drinking the blood and flesh of their heroic victim, claim that 1+1+1 equals to 1, adopt a word as their name which was used by none of the early adherents, misspell and mispronounce the name of their hero, follow someone's teaching who was prophetically condemned by their hero, accept a formula that was coined by a self-appointed commission 325 years after the founder, sing love and peace yet be responsible for most of the blood-shed and weaponry in the world, mobilize even children for centuries of barbarism called Crusades, sell parcels of heaven, excommunicate scientists, burn the first translator of their holy book, burn women in witch-hunt craze, invent ingenious torture devices and torture many in their holy courts, declare the earth as the flat center of the world for more than a millennium, lead and pray for colonialists, defend and practice slavery and racism until the cause was lost, mostly side with kings and the wealthy, deny women from many of their rights, condemn the theory of evolution, support occupations and wars with jingoistic slogans... Yes, how can such a religion, with a fake name, with a fabricated doctrine, with bizarre pagan practices, and with such a miserable historical record and bitter fruits belong to God? How can it be attributed to a philosopher, to a peacemaker, to an advocate of the rights of the weak, to a human messenger of God? (Here, I should exclude the "theory of evolution" from my indictment of the Catholics, since they have finally conceded it to science. I will discuss these and many other issues in this book which also contains two letters to two Popes.

Download or read book Questions That Christians Need Answers To written by Lawrence Worth and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-16 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a physical Jew who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior at the age of 40. I am now 68. You would consider me a Messianic Jew, whom God lifted off the veil spoken of in Isiah 6:10; 29:10, and in Romans 11:7-10, 25, and in John 12:40. I wondered in the wilderness for 40 years in the dark. I am also a retired physician of Internal Medicine, and thus interested in the relationship between the spirit, soul, and brain. Also, as a Jew who can now see the light, I can see why God allowed the Holocaust to occur, as dreadful as it was. But I also see in the near future, the end of this age, a more severe calamity befalling my people the Jews, called Th e Time of Jacobs Trouble (Jer 30:7) or the Great Tribulation (Dan 12:1), under an even worse leader, the AntiChrist. I am also greatly concerned about the Doctrines of the Pretribulation Rapture and Imminency, and desire to show you why these Doctrines are in error. My main source of Bible study is the Bible itself, and the help of the Greek meaning of certain words.

Download or read book Confronting Christianity written by Rebecca McLaughlin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many people suggest that Christianity is declining, research indicates that it continues to be the world's most popular worldview. But even so, the Christian faith includes many controversial beliefs that non-Christians find hard to accept. This book explores 12 issues that might cause someone to dismiss orthodox Christianity—issues such as the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of heaven and hell, the authority of the Bible, and more. Showing how the best research from sociology, science, and psychology doesn't disagree with but actually aligns with claims found in the Bible, these chapters help skeptics understand why these issues are signposts, rather than roadblocks, to faith in Christ.

Download or read book Questions for Christians written by John Morreall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions for Christians: The Surprising Truths behind Basic Beliefs asks whether or not Christians today have gotten Jesus’ message right, drawing on the Bible and the history of Christianity for answers. From the gender of God to what happens when we die, Questions for Christians digs into some of the thorniest points of the Christian faith—questions that many people would rather ignore. Most Christians today believe in “just wars,” but how do we reconcile this belief with Jesus’ saying “Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also,” or the pacifism of most early Christians? Protestants and Catholics today generally believe that Jesus died on the cross to atone for our sins, but most Orthodox Christians don’t believe this, and neither did most Western churches before 1100. What is the truth? Drawing on sources both ancient and modern, John Morreall explores these issues while identifying points of controversy. Some of the answers are surprising, while others provide a more complete understanding of common beliefs.
