Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist and former evangelical argues that holding onto a belief in a literal, historical Adam has forced many Christians to reject science and become intellectually isolated from the modern world. The Bible’s first man stands at the center of a crisis that is shaking much of Christianity. In the evangelical world, scholars have been ostracized and banished from their academic communities for endorsing a modern scientific understanding of the world, even as they remained strong Christians. Self-appointed gatekeepers of traditional theology demand intellectual allegiance to an implausible interpretation of the Genesis creation story, insisting that all humanity must be descended from a single, perfect human pair, Adam and Eve. Such a view is utterly at odds with contemporary science. It wasn’t always this way. Karl Giberson spotlights the venerable tradition of Christian engagement with new knowledge and discoveries. When global exploration, anthropology, geology, paleontology, biblical studies, and even linguistics cast doubt on the historicity of Adam and his literal fall into sin, Christians responded by creatively reimagining the creation story, letting Adam “evolve” to accommodate his changing context. Even conservative evangelical institutions until recently encouraged serious engagement with evolutionary science, unhindered by the straitjacket of young-earth creationism, intelligent design, or other views demanding that Adam be a historical figure. Giberson calls for a renewed conversation between science and Christianity, and for more open engagement with new scientific discoveries, even when they threaten central doctrines. Christians should not be made to choose between their faith and their understanding of the universe. Instead, as Giberson argues, they should follow in the once robust tradition of exploring science openly within the broad contours of Christian belief.

Download or read book Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God written by Brian Zahnd and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor Brian Zahnd began "to question the theology of a wrathful God who delights in punishing sinners, and has started to explore the real nature of Jesus and His Father. The book isn’t only an interesting look at the context of some modern theological ideas; it’s also offers some profound insight into God’s love and eternal plan." —Relevant Magazine (Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2017) God is wrath? Or God is Love? In his famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” Puritan revivalist Jonathan Edwards shaped predominating American theology with a vision of God as angry, violent, and retributive. Three centuries later, Brian Zahnd was both mesmerized and terrified by Edwards’s wrathful God. Haunted by fear that crippled his relationship with God, Zahnd spent years praying for a divine experience of hell. What Zahnd experienced instead was the Father’s love—revealed perfectly through Jesus Christ—for all prodigal sons and daughters. In Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Zahnd asks important questions like: Is seeing God primarily as wrathful towards sinners true or biblical? Is fearing God a normal expected behavior? And where might the natural implications of this theological framework lead us? Thoughtfully wrestling with subjects like Old Testament genocide, the crucifixion of Jesus, eternal punishment in hell, and the final judgment in Revelation, Zanhd maintains that the summit of divine revelation for sinners is not God is wrath, but God is love.

Download or read book Sinner written by Sara Douglass and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2004-08-26 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinner is the fourth book in Sara Douglass's The Wayfarer Redemption series, however it starts a brand new story arc and is the perfect place for new readers to enter this epic fantasy series. The land Tencendor has been united for more than forty years. The Starman Axis defeated the dreaded monster Gorgrael and by fulfilling his destiny he has brought peace finally to the three races of this land: the Icarii bird people, the Avar tree people, and the humans who for generations controlled (and oppressed) the other two races. Attaining god-like powers, Axis chose to retire to the ethereal sphere in the heavens with his beautiful consort Azhure and ceded his authority to his son Caelum SunSoar. As Supreme Ruler of Tencendor, Caelum holds the reins of power carefully and the thousands of years of ill-will between the three races seems to be at an end. All seems golden for this land. Or so it might seem. But the path of the son is not necessarily that of the father. Caelum is untried and has known nothing but peace during his lifetime. And while the three races appear at peace, there are undercurrents of jealousy and bitter memories just buried beneath the surface. So when strange powers threaten to come through the Star Gate (a source of power that gives those with magic their near immortality) bent on the destruction of all he holds dear, Caelum will have to find the strength to fight this threat. Complicating this situation is the almost impossible death of his Icarri sister...and the culprit appears to be none other then his hated brother Drago, who as a baby had been in league with Gorgrael and had sufficient power to try to kill Caelum. As punishment Drago was made mortal (unlike his near invulnerable siblings). As Caelum struggles to hold all he holds dear safe, he is left with this quandary: Is Drago as powerless as he seems? Is his hate for his fate enough to have him murder? And is he in league with the demons that hover ever nearer? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses a topic of interest to many people who are seeking to better understand the Christian doctrine of salvation (soteriology). It is written to provide a systematic biblical and theological critique of a particularly popular perspective of this doctrine that has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, namely Calvinism. The book is structured around the so-called five points of Calvinism, commonly referred to by the acronym TULIP: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints. Following an initial chapter outlining the historical development of the doctrine, each of the five points are examined in subsequent chapters. Each point is described in the words of prominent Calvinist scholars, key biblical texts purporting to support the doctrine carefully evaluated, and a series of theological issues related to the point are raised and discussed.

Download or read book The way to be saved spiritually written by DAVID KWAK and published by GOGOSPEL. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law, as the first covenant that God gave to the Israelites, is the covenant of God that never be able to condemn. However, the deeds by the Law as the deeds of the flesh performed by the Law is to commit sin. Because through the mind of the flesh that the devil deceives, we are not able to serve God, who is spirit. Due to the sin of Adam and Eve that they followed the serpent as the devil instead of the will of God in the Eden Garden, their spirit and even their offspring’s spirit had died to God. In this way the human being have been born as sinners with the original sin, having a spirit that is dead to God. So that the human being have been living with their mind of the flesh and a spirit that is dead to God. Thus, human being have not been able to serve God, who is spirit. To save the Israelites who become such sinners, first off God gave them the Law as the first covenant, and made the Israelites live to keep the Law through their mind of the flesh, because they have a spirit that is dead to God. This period is the age of the Law and the age of the First Covenant, that the Israelites of the Old Testament era had been living. By the way to the Israelites who had been serving idols through their minds of the flesh in the world of the darkness, God gave the Law to them and made them keep the Law through the mind of the flesh. In this way God gave them the age of the Law as the training period and disciplining period that let them to get off their idols and to serve God through the Law. However, because the deeds by the Law is to commit sin, the Israelites was not able to serve God. Therefore, God gave the gospel as the new covenant that becomes the way to be saved spiritually to them in order to let them believe it and live the spiritual life. However, the Jews, who are the descendants of the Israelites, still adhere strictly to the Law of Moses to this day, claiming that they alone are the children saved of God, and rejecting the spiritual gospel. Nevertheless, God made the apostles preach the spiritual gospel, so that the people who was saved through this gospel built the early church to serve God spiritually. Moreover, God made the children saved of the early church live a spiritual life among the sinners in the world, performing by the spiritual deeds according to the spiritual gospel. By the way since the apostles, the forebears were not aware spiritually of the spiritual gospel that the apostles were aware of spiritually, thus, the forebears were not born again from their spirits that were dead to God. And they were living customarily according to their deeds by the Law through their mind of the flesh. Thus, they preached the spiritual gospel through the deeds of the flesh performed by the Law, instead of the spiritual gospel which the apostles had preached through their spirits born again, Therefore, even the churches today that claim to preach the spiritual gospel, known as the Reformed Churches, have not fulfilled the spiritual salvation. Because to serve God, they have believed and followed the spiritual gospel as the new covenant through their mind of the flesh, but not their spirit born again. In another words, if the Reformed Churches perform the gospel of the salvation through the deeds of the flesh, but not the spiritual deeds, God is not able to listen from them. Thus, they are not able to be saved from their original sin, so that they become to live as the sinners with the original sin. It means that because they are not aware spiritually concerning the faith by the mind of the flesh and the faith by the spirit born again, also concerning the mind of the flesh and the spiritual mind by the spirit born again, they are living with the deeds by the Law through the mind of the flesh deceiving by the devil, but not the spirit born again. These spiritual matters of God can only be aware through the evidence of spiritual faith, as mentioned in Hebrews 11, rather than through judgment based on the mind of the flesh and the sight of the flesh. When we are aware spiritually of these spiritual matters through faith given by God, we become to be born again as the righteous from the spirit that had died to God due to Adam’s sin. And we become to receive the Counselor as the Spirit promised into our temple of the hearts as our spirit born again, then we become to fulfill our salvation. Therefore, we who have been saved become to live the spiritual life and worship God, according to the leading by the Jesus being with each of our Counselors. In this way we as the children saved of God become to live the spiritual life in the world of the darkness until the Second Coming of Jesus. And after the Judgment, we will lift up into the Kingdom of God for our eternal life with the disembodied spirit due to the death with the flesh by the Judgment. Concerning such spiritual process of the salvation mentioned above, when you are aware spiritually of the spiritual words of God as follows, that I, as the author of this book interpreted the spiritual gospel given by the new covenant, you will be performing the way to be saved spiritually. This book 「the way to be saved spiritually」 is the book to introduce 「those books with spiritual interpretation」 as follows that I wrote for the gospel of the New Testament that God gave as the new covenant.
