Book excerpt: Have you ever asked God a question and then actually heard him answer? I hadn't--that is, until August 16, 2017, when God's voice was so loud and so crystal clear that I had no doubt. As a professional court reporter, I take my job as the keeper of the record very seriously. I've taken hundreds of depositions, and I was experiencing what we stenographers call deposition-burnout syndrome. I felt depressed and lacked a sense of purpose. I turned to God for answers. "Take my deposition," God said. I argued back, "No one has ever taken God's deposition." "Exactly," he replied. I stopped in my tracks. "Oh my god, I'm talking to God," I realized. "Yes, you are," he said with a gentle laugh. "But I can actually hear you this time," I added in shock and delight. "Yes, you can, now go take my deposition," he encouraged. So I set up my writer and I began asking God the big questions, like "Why are we here? What happens when we die? When does a soul enter the physical body?" And he answered them all. I've heard some wild testimony over the years, but God's truth blew my mind. It's not some fluke that you're reading this right now; it's meant to be. Your awareness is about to increase. The Deposition of God will empower you to know who you really are and why you are here.

Download or read book Guardians Keepers of God s Secret Code written by Donald Alexander and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theories of evolution, origin of the Universe, and deep time, have led many scientists like my former self, to conclude that Creation is just a chance sequence of events that can ultimately be explained by natural laws. I was skeptical and even tried to disprove God's existence, until I found a Secret Code embedded in the Scriptures. This code provides undeniable evidence of God, based upon event sequences in the lives of a Great Cloud of Witnesses like Joseph, Samson, David, Jonah, Elisha, Moses, and Joshua. By unlocking the Earthly Sanctuary pattern given to Moses, I've found that it reveals events of the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land which even applies to Spiritual Israel today. The veil to the Holy Place aligns with the Exodus opening of the Red Sea. And the veil to the Holiest Place points to the opening of the Jordan where we now stand, waiting to cross at the End of Time. The code reveals probabilities of the existence of God, far greater than finding an atom in Planet Earth by chance.

Book excerpt: Patricia Crone's God's Rule is a fundamental reconstruction and analysis of Islamic political thought focusing on its intellectual development during the six centuries from the rise of Islam to the Mongol invasions. Based on a wide variety of primary sources--including some not previously considered from the point of view of political thought--this is the first book to examine the medieval Muslim answers to questions crucial to any Western understanding of Middle Eastern politics today, such as why states are necessary, what functions they are meant to fulfill, and whether or why they must be based on religious law. The character of Muslim political thought differs fundamentally from its counterpart in the West. The Christian West started with the conviction that truth (both cognitive and moral) and political power belonged to separate spheres. Ultimately, both power and truth originated with God, but they had distinct historical trajectories and regulated different aspects of life. The Muslims started with the opposite conviction: truth and power appeared at the same time in history and regulated the same aspects of life. In medieval Europe, the disagreement over the relationship between religious authority and political power took the form of a protracted controversy regarding the roles of church and state. In the medieval Middle East, religious authority and political power were embedded in a single, divinely sanctioned Islamic community--a congregation and state made one. The disagreement, therefore, took the form of a protracted controversy over the nature and function of the leadership of Islam itself. Crone makes Islamic political thought accessible by relating it to the contexts in which it was formulated, analyzing it in terms familiar to today's reader, and, where possible, comparing it with medieval European and modern political thought. By examining the ideological point of departure for medieval Islamic political thought, Crone provides an invaluable foundation for a better understanding of contemporary Middle Eastern politics and current world events.

Download or read book Deposing Monarchs written by Cathleen Sarti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deposing Monarchs analyses depositions in Northern Europe between 1500 and 1700 as a type of frequent political conflict which allows to present new ideas on early modern state formation, monarchy, and the conventions of royal rulership. The book revises earlier conceptualizations of depositions as isolated, unique events that emerged in the context of national historiographies. An examination of the official legitimations of depositions reveals that in times of crisis, concepts of tradition, rule of law, and political consensus are much more influential than the divine right of kings. Tracing the similarities and differences of depositions in Northern Europe transnationally and diachronically, the book shows monarchical succession as more non-linear than previously presumed. It offers a transferable model of the different elements needed in depositions, such as opposition to the monarch by multiple groups in a realm, the need for a convincing rival candidate, and a legitimation based on political traditions or religious ideas. Furthermore, the book bolsters our understanding of authority and rule as a constant process of negotiation, adding to recent research on political culture, and on the cultural history of politics.

Download or read book Inventing God s Law written by David P. Wright and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most scholars believe that the numerous similarities between the Covenant Code (Exodus 20:23-23:19) and Mesopotamian law collections, especially the Laws of Hammurabi, which date to around 1750 BCE, are due to oral tradition that extended from the second to the first millennium. This book offers a fundamentally new understanding of the Covenant Code, arguing that it depends directly and primarily upon the Laws of Hammurabi and that the use of this source text occurred during the Neo-Assyrian period, sometime between 740-640 BCE, when Mesopotamia exerted strong and continuous political and cultural influence over the kingdoms of Israel and Judah and a time when the Laws of Hammurabi were actively copied in Mesopotamia as a literary-canonical text. The study offers significant new evidence demonstrating that a model of literary dependence is the only viable explanation for the work. It further examines the compositional logic used in transforming the source text to produce the Covenant Code, thus providing a commentary to the biblical composition from the new theoretical perspective. This analysis shows that the Covenant Code is primarily a creative academic work rather than a repository of laws practiced by Israelites or Judeans over the course of their history. The Covenant Code, too, is an ideological work, which transformed a paradigmatic and prestigious legal text of Israel's and Judah's imperial overlords into a statement symbolically countering foreign hegemony. The study goes further to study the relationship of the Covenant Code to the narrative of the book of Exodus and explores how this may relate to the development of the Pentateuch as a whole.

Download or read book Depositions written by Amy Knight Powell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From late medieval reenactments of the Deposition from the Cross to Sol Lewitt’s “Buried Cube,” Depositions is about taking down images and about images that anticipate being taken down. Foretelling their own depositions, as well as their re-elevations in contexts far from those in which they were made, the images studied in this book reveal themselves to be untimely — no truer to their first appearance than to their later reappearances. In Depositions, Amy Knight Powell makes the case that late medieval paintings and ritual reenactments of the Deposition from the Cross not only picture the deposition of Christ (the imago Dei) but also allegorize the deposition of the image as such and, in so doing, prefigure the lowering of “dead images” during the Protestant Reformation. Late medieval pre-figurations of Reformation iconoclasm anticipate, in turn, the repeated “deaths” of art since the advent of photography: that is the premise of the vignettes devoted to twentieth-century works of art that conclude each chapter of this book. In these vignettes, images that once stood in late medieval churches now find themselves among works of art from the more recent past with which they share certain formal characteristics. These surreal encounters compel us to reckon with affinities between images from different times and places. Turning on its head the pejorative (art-historical) use of the term pseudomorphosis — formal resemblance where there is no similarity of artistic intent — Powell explores what happens to our understanding of historically and conceptually distant works of art when they look alike.
