Download or read book Judah Inherits Christianity written by Tom Ellis and published by Vantage Press, Inc. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to author Tom Ellis, Many Christian churches are no longer a viable part of society. They have led people to believe that membership, a title, or rituals performed in their church will give them acceptance with Christ. They have become businesses or entertainers rather than teachers of ethics and moral values. In his edifying new book, Judah Inherits Christianity, Mr. Ellis reveals how individual churches will unite in the seventh millennium, redefining their role with the community, government, and education.
Download or read book Bringing God Up to Date written by John Hunt and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is an essential part of our humanity. We all follow some form of religion, in the original meaning of the word. But organized religion establishes definitions, boundaries and hierarchies which the founders would be amazed by. This is perhaps more true of Christianity than most other religions, due to the short life of Jesus, his sudden death, the lack of any contemporary records. His teaching about the kingdom of God is great; it could see us through our time on earth. But his followers watered it down and soon lost it altogether. It became a kingdom in heaven for the few, rather than one here and now for everyone. The Church, or Churches, that resulted became increasingly irrelevant, even a hindrance, to seeing it realized. Many will always find security and truth in the traditions that developed, and good for them. But for those who can't, for those who have given up on religion or never thought it worth considering, the original teachings are worth another look. If we could recover them and live by them, we could change ourselves and the world for the better. We could bring God up to date.

Download or read book David and Solomon written by Israel Finkelstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exciting field of biblical archaeology has revolutionized our understanding of the Bible -- and no one has done more to popularise this vast store of knowledge than Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman, who revealed what we now know about when and why the Bible was first written in The Bible Unearthed. Now, with David and Solomon, they do nothing less than help us to understand the sacred kings and founding fathers of western civilization. David and his son Solomon are famous in the Bible for their warrior prowess, legendary loves, wisdom, poetry, conquests, and ambitious building programmes. Yet thanks to archaeology's astonishing finds, we now know that most of these stories are myths. Finkelstein and Silberman show us that the historical David was a bandit leader in a tiny back-water called Jerusalem, and how -- through wars, conquests and epic tragedies like the exile of the Jews in the centuries before Christ and the later Roman conquest -- David and his successor were reshaped into mighty kings and even messiahs, symbols of hope to Jews and Christians alike in times of strife and despair and models for the great kings of Europe. A landmark work of research and lucid scholarship by two brilliant luminaries, David and Solomon recasts the very genesis of western history in a whole new light.

Download or read book The Judas War written by S P Laurie and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ 700 BC. One people, two kingdoms-one betrayed the other to total destruction. The Christ myth is ancient. The crucifixion account in the gospels relates to events that took place hundreds of years before the supposed time of Jesus. Such are the conclusions of this book which will revolutionise the way we see both Christianity and Judaism. The Judas War uncovers the story of a traumatic conflict in which a Judean king committed a desperate act that led to the annihilation of the sister kingdom of Israel. The surviving nation of Judah was racked by guilt, its population swelled by an enormous influx of refugees. To control a rebellious people, the king and priestly establishment centralised all religion in the Jerusalem temple. But the Judas War lived on through a dissident minority who preserved the bitter memory of the betrayal. The mainstream wrote the scriptures to deflect from their own shame. The dissidents told a very different story. The Judas War takes the reader on an epic journey to the real ancient Israel as revealed by modern archaeology as well as the original texts. It reveals a cosmos ruled by fallen angels; a religious worldview traced back to the Canaanite origins of the Jews. It shows how the unfolding tragedy on earth was explained by a tragedy in heaven: the divine king of the Jews, the Christ, had been crucified by the angelic rulers, the archons. He had been betrayed by the Jerusalem establishment who were represented by the fictional character of Judas Iscariot. After the defeat and exile of Judah, the Christ myth was expanded under a calendar of cosmic days ("the Almanac") to encompass all humanity. The Almanac set out the complete timeline of the world, past, present and future, as a symmetrical whole. It predicted that the Christ would be resurrected from the dead on "the third day" to defeat the archons and establish his new kingdom of heaven. Hundreds of years later in the first century, a female shaman announced that the time had come- Christ had appeared to her... The book reconstructs the Almanac from surviving sources and shows how it explains the gospel crucifixion account. From the strange timing of the crucifixion day to details such as the severed ear and the young man who has his sheet torn away, all come from the Almanac and the Judas War. Going further, the book uncovers a belief that Christ had come to earth three times in three different forms. And how as "the child of seven days" he revealed the shattering secret that would overturn the relationship between God and humanity. S.P. Laurie is the author of The Rock and the Tower and The Thomas Code.

Why have they been blessed so favorably over the nations that preceded them in history? The answer lies in the understanding and fulfillment of biblical prophecy." "God's promise to Abraham was not limited to a small and ancient people in the Middle East. It extends far into the future, and it is not limited by national boundaries." "Where can we find the descendants of Joseph, the lost tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh? This list of blessings eliminates most of the nations of the world as contenders. To find them we must ask: Which nations possess these blessings in our world?" "When we understand that the modern descendants of Joseph are the people of the United States and Britain, we see that over the past three centuries God has been true to His promises." "Though the United States and Britain do not appear in the Bible's prophecies of the end time under their present names, God hasn't ignored these nations. He identifies them in prophecy according to their ancestry. Most people simply haven't known where to look for them."
