Download or read book A Guide to Interpreting the Bible Correctly 2 written by Sam Oputa and published by NYBookz. This book was released on with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We, as a civilization, were not the first to invent and detonate a nuclear weapon. You would not know that weapons of mass destruction—WMD—information is contained in the Old Testament texts because the evidence is not clear-cut and, therefore, not in-your-face type. The Bible interpreters usually employ unnecessary religious iconography to describe events that are simply irreligious. We fail to interpret the Bible according to the authors’ intended meaning. Today, it has become the fad to dismiss the well documented events in the Bible as mythological fairy tales. They do this to show that they are “woke.” However, they lack understanding of plain sight knowledge. We fail to see all the technologies in the Bible, so much so, many people believe the stories are make-believe, and, on the other hand, at best, people claim to believe by faith. Facts are facts and will remain factual at all times when we start interpreting based on the authors’ intended meaning. Faith is unnecessary once you get it. The question we should be asking is: Who or what was using those advanced weapons, and why? Today, we can’t even figure out how the pyramids were built and the purpose of why they were built, so how much more figuring out the stories of the Bible? Here is a work leading to the road of no more worries. Don’t let a strategy so simple as distract, deceive and yell continue to wear you down in the various places you listen to the Bible get interpreted.This work: A Guide to Interpreting the Bible Correctly, will explain all the keys you will need for interpreting the Bible easily and correctly. The scales will fall off your eyes, and the Old Testament will come alive. However, for you to understand the events in the Old Testament, you have to push the boundaries harder than what you are used to hearing and learning. You have to unlearn and relearn a lot of misunderstood information. I have also pushed the boundaries harder than I am used to, to bring you part one of this work.

Download or read book Unlikely Fighter written by Greg Stier and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.
Download or read book Unbroken Cord written by D. H. Withers and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating Bible stories that stretch across the centuries from each other along with a background of secular history and current events, Unbroken Cord uncovers the link that ties them all together. This book is what many believers have been looking for: an easily understood synthesis between Old and New Testaments, past and present. Combining a tourist's enthusiasm for exploration along with a love for detail and scripture, the author provides information that includes today's news, ancient prophecy, and a good bit of backstory. Each of the twelve chapters is written with the goal of distilling its specific topic into an explanation that makes sense to the average person. Even if the reader lacks background regarding Biblical History or the current geopolitical situation, subjects that have previously seemed overly complicated or fuzzy, begin to fall into place. Since most everyone has fallen through the scholastic cracks at some point, each chapter is presented as an opportunity for some much needed "catch-up" information. The book is a personal tutoring session and survey approach to understanding Israel's place within the context of a modern Christian worldview. It turns out that the Bible is full of mystery. Unbroken Cord unlocks secrets about God's Calendar, fleshes out origins of the Middle East conflict, examines prophecies concerning Israel's future population boom and explores Jerusalem - from her distant past and into the age to come.
Download or read book The Books of Simion written by Ivory Simion and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-01-23 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning: The Books of Simion are the most Profound books of knowledge that have ever been delivered to the Gentile nations. The Books of Simion are written for kings and all in authority only so kings and all in authority can determine what is best for the people. The Books of Simion are the books of records that are referred to as the books of remembrance that are written for kings and all in authority so kings and all in authority are not dishonored and their kingdoms are not destroyed by deceptions (Ezra 4:1415 and Malachi 3:16). The Books of Simion are the translation of the Holy Bible and the ancient scriptures by those who are scattered, whose ancestors were slaves and persecuted in Egypt for 430 years. Later in the latter days, ascendants were taken to a foreign land named America on ships in bondage and held there as slaves and persecuted for 430 years that the Holy Bible has identified as Gods chosen people and Gods firstborn. There is no other interpretation and translation of the Holy Bible and the end-time prophesies of the God of Abraham by any other race of people on the planet earth that is better(Genesis 15:1314, Acts 7:67, Deuteronomy 28:68, Jeremiah 30:3, Jeremiah 30:18, Luke 21:24, John 11:52, Joel 3:1, and Exodus 4:22). The Books of Simion will connect all of the dots or events in history together with the Holy Bible and the ancient scriptures to bring events and scriptures together, to make sense of what happened in our past, to understand what is happening in our present, and to determine what will happen in the future. The readers will learn more about the Holy Bible, God and the devil, the extraterrestrials, the old black African dominion, and the new white Gentile dominion from the Books of Simion than they have learned and understood from the combined books and learning institutions they have been exposed to all of the their lives. For the first time in the readers lives, they will understand what they could never understand before. Without the Books of Simion, the readers will go from university to university constantly learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). All of the great secrets, including the mystery of the gospel, have been revealed in the Books of Simion. Because the world was started over to give the Gentiles a second chance for salvation in the world we live in today, the final outcome from all of our actions and choices of today will be revealed, as well as what we all must do to inherit the earth. Absolutely nothing is more important than knowing the final outcome from last time before we make our final choices this time. Prepare yourself.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Faith written by Drew Bekius and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of religion in the twenty-first-century West has been defined, in part, by the stories of once-zealous pastors moving beyond their faith to embrace a life of reason. But too often and too quickly ardent believers dismiss such accounts as aberrations and fail to consider the real-life implications for those who make this transition. Atheists and other skeptics, meanwhile, struggle to understand what took these individuals so long to make such a journey—and why others aren't lining up more quickly to do the same. As a result, the questions posed by one side inevitably mirror those asked by the other. Why do believers trust in God the way they do? But what factors lead atheists to dismiss religious beliefs so easily? How can believers have faith in the face of known science and history? But what allows anyone to be so sure their beliefs are based in reality? What would it take for believers to stop believing in God? But what would it take for nonbelievers to start to believe? Drawing on the author's own story as a former evangelical pastor powerless to stop his turn to atheism, The Rise and Fall of Faith touches on these and other questions, inviting readers into a long-overdue conversation between Christians and atheists. While the aim of the book is to initiate this much-needed discussion, the author encourages all who care about the future of humanity to carry the dialogue forward—whether in the evaluation of our own inner thoughts, in the assumptions we make about the other side, or in how we work together in the pursuit of understanding and common ground as we navigate the world's ever-changing and increasingly challenging religious and cultural landscape.

Download or read book A Holy Haunting written by Sam D. Kim and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we’ve been looking at faith all wrong? What if the rise of spiritual consciousness is not a mere byproduct of cultural factors, but an echo resounding from eternity? Atheists like Richard Dawkins often mock prayer, equating it to calling upon a fairy in the sky. This misunderstanding of prayer’s purpose pervades western society, criticizing those that practice traditional faith as “old fashioned” or “out of touch.” In A Holy Haunting, Dr. Sam D. Kim interacts with this perception of faith and challenges readers to look at faith another way. The rise of modernism was both a blessing and curse for the church; while modernists articulated belief in a succinct and coherent fashion, they reduced the mystery and wonder of faith to nothing more than blind belief. According to Dr. Sam D. Kim, faith is not a set of beliefs, but a central aspect of human existence—defining who they are in the deepest ontological sense. Unlike many who discredit the power of the spiritual or immaterial, Dr. Kim sees human consciousness—the soul—as evidence of humanity being forged in the corridors of eternity, before the primordial universe and the Big Bang. A roadmap of discovery for skeptics and believers alike, A Holy Haunting befriends the doubter, challenges the churchgoer, and gives fresh perspective to the seeker.
Download or read book Satan s Dare written by Jim DeMint and published by Fidelis Publishing. LLC. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Satan's Dare is different from any other Jim DeMint book, and it very well may be his most important." —Glenn Beck "Satan's Dare is a powerful story that will confirm the faith of Christians and challenge skeptics to search for real truth." —Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson The Bible is often presented as an antiquated document filled with mysterious prophesies, unbelievable fables, and arbitrary decisions by a God whose actions range from anger and vengeance to love and forgiveness. The Bible's creation story appears to be at complete odds with more credible scientific explanations of the origins and evolution of life. And believers in Biblical truth are further challenged by haunting questions about why a good God would create a world so full of evil, pain, suffering and death. Satan's Dare takes these issues and questions head on.
