Download or read book Seeking Wisdom from God written by Thomas H. Walker and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Wisdom from God presents a fresh and unique look at some Biblical topics. Because knowledge increases faster than wisdom, we have an abundance of Biblical knowledge and a shortage of Biblical wisdom. Knowledge has increased, due to our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis. Tragically, Christianity looks nothing like its inception on the Day of Pentecost.  Why are there over 20,000 different denominations?  Why do I still sin daily?  Have we replaced Divine Illumination with historical, literary and textual analysis?  If Adam had not sinned, the world's population would have reached 100 billion in 1,836 years. How are we all going to fit on this planet when eternity begins?  Why did God plant a fruit-yielding tree in Eden and then forbid Adam and Eve from eating of its fruit?

Download or read book The Quest for the True Cross written by Carsten Peter Thiede and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross is arguably the most recognizable symbol in Western civilization. But what are its historical origins, and what happened to it after Christ`s crucifixion? In a church outside Rome, a fragment of wood may hold the answer to these questions and could be fundamental to our understanding of Christianity. Focusing on a long-ignored fragment of the Titulus Crucis-the inscribed headboard from Christ`s cross-authors Thiede and d`Ancona provide evidence that it may date from the time of Christ and was brought to Rome by Queen Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, in AD 328. Their claim is a radical challenge to the modern view that all reputed holy relics are fakes. Following in Helena`s footsteps and drawing together the threads of history, archaeology, myth, religion, and science, this journey through the ancient world is sure to transform many readers` conceptions about early Christian faith.

Download or read book A 21st Century Christian s Quest for Truth written by Lowell JK Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any book that attempts to assert basic truth about the origins, nature and relationship of humankind with the Earth and universe we live in is inherently controversial. Throughout human history truth claims have been based on authority, faith, and observed evidence. Each of these sources of truth have changed truth claims over time. Only about 500 years ago any fool could observe that the earth was a flat surface (not a sphere spinning at about 700 miles per hour at the equator) with a sun that traveled above the surface of the earth about every 24 hours(23 hrs and 56 min). In a very short period of human history our evidence or observation based truth claims have expanded exponentially as we have advanced our unaided human observations. Examples include: space based instruments that transmit vast amounts of information about an unimaginably large universe; atom smashers that provide knowledge of the smallest element or force within an unimaginably small atom; seismographic instruments that can analyze and map deep inside the Earth; glacial ice core analysis that tell us a lot about annual climates and major earth events on a year by year basis over hundreds of thousands of years in the past; recent advances in radiocarbon and radiometric and other dating methods that provide a reliable chronology of Earth and plant and animal life over the past 4.65 billion years; oceanographic vehicles that explore the extreme depths of the oceans that cover the majority of the earth’s surface; and, instruments that allow humans to study the very basic sub-microscopic elements (DNA) that make up plant and animal life. This book does not claim to be a fully documented scientific or religious text. It is based on one persons extensive research of authoritative sources. Even research requires evaluation of sources and subsequent conclusions. Thus, this book is proposed as an editorial opinion based on one person’s “quest for truth in the 21st Century”.

Download or read book Reliable Truth written by Richard E. Simmons and published by . This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do science, history, and logic have to say about the reliability of the Bible? This book presents in a profound way how the Bible reflects the true nature of reality. Reliable Truth is about seeing the world as it is while debunking the myths, legends, and false beliefs about the Bible. This book tracks a series of presentations given over the course of a year. Richard Simmons thoroughly researches History, Archeology, Ancient Writings and Science to explore the Bible and its validity. The author turns to the world's leading scholars, experts, and commentators on the subjects that touch on the Bible's legitimacy.So many people grew up being told that the bible is the word of God, but are never told why they should believe it. This book provides compelling evidence that undergirds the validity of the Bible.According to the author, "What I had found in my research was that most books written on the validity of the Bible were very scholarly and hard to read, but there was nothing out there for everyday people. I wanted to write a book where a high school student or average man or woman would find it to be a good, compelling read." This book is an excellent source for Bible studies and small groups.
