Download or read book Assorted Writings Regarding Scriptural Studies Reflective Questions written by Raymond Robbins and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you have noticed, the theme of the book is about trying to get people to read the Bible for themselves in a good translation; you have probably noticed that I only use the KJV, and you must have noticed why, and now I have to say (only the old version) as I have picked up a new translation and seen that Satan has got his hands on that too, as in Luke 2:33, which says that Joseph was the father of Jesus Christ. Now, why do the learning people let them get away with it? I only have a ninth-grade education, and if I can see this, just think what people could do if they really read the Bible for themselves...An old pastor friend of mine once said to me, "The Bible means at least what it says, and probably more." Thank you

There Are (No) Stupid Questions ... in Science was born from Leah’s popular web series, 60 Seconds of Science, wherein her avid followers, from all around the world, suggest topics to be explained within sixty seconds.

Download or read book Human Questions And Cosmic Answers written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2024-11-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘In the case of a solar eclipse, the evil that has spread over the earth can be carried out into the cosmos to wreak more havoc there, whereas in the case of a lunar eclipse, people who absolutely want to be possessed by evil thoughts can receive them from the cosmos.’ In the first full translation of this lecture course, Rudolf Steiner implores his audience to recognize the connections between the material and spiritual worlds. Eclipses of the sun and moon, for example, are ‘forces at work in the universe, just like those we study today in the clinic or in the chemistry or physics laboratory’. Even everyday thinking can have a strong impact on the outer world. Materialistic thought, he says, can quite literally atomize our surroundings: ‘if all human beings start to think that everything has to be explained in terms of atoms… then the earth will actually turn into atoms… these false ideas create false realities…’ Steiner speaks of the ‘world of will’ as being three-dimensional, the ‘world of feeling’ as two-dimensional, and the ‘world of thinking’ as one-dimensional. The ego itself is dimensionless, and only inner, living thinking can grasp the spiritual-mental. He discusses key cultural figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Herman Grimm and Julian the Apostate, and introduces multiple additional topics, including the effect of planetary forces on humans; the healing impacts of metals and other substances; the revitalization of thinking through meditation and concentration; the effects of the separation of science, art and religion; and the necessary transition from philosophy to anthroposophy. Thirteen lectures, Dornach, Jun.–Jul. 1922, GA 213

Download or read book Do You Think You re Clever written by John Farndon and published by Icon Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens if I drop an ant? What books are bad for you? What percentage of the world's water is contained in a cow? The Oxbridge undergraduate interviews are infamous for their unique ways of assessing candidates, and from these peculiar enquiries, professors can tell just how smart you really are. John Farndon has collected together 75 of the most intriguing questions taken from actual admission interviews and gives full answers to each, taking the reader through the fascinating histories, philosophies, sciences and arts that underlie each problem. This is a book for everyone who likes to think they're clever, or who thinks they'd like to be clever. And cleverness is not just knowing stuff, it's how laterally, deeply and interestingly you can bend your brain. Guesstimating the population of Croydon, for example, opens a chain of thought from which you can predict the strength of a nuclear bomb ...and that's just the start of it.
