Download or read book YESHUA THE CRUCIFIED SERPENT written by Rowland Stenrud and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the atheist, Jean Paul Sartre, who once said that, "Hell is other people." Rowland Stenrud's Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent is about how mankind's savior, Jesus of Nazareth, has saved men and women from this hell by making it possible, and indeed inevitable, for human beings to love one another and their Creator-Father, Yahweh God. This book is about the concept and practice of human and divine love. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, the Bible as a whole, and the reader's life experience will help in defining this. The author reviews what he knows about the concept and its related precepts and brings them to bear in this book. God himself is love, which should tell us how mysterious a thing love is. To acquire this ability to love, one must suffer in union with the suffering Christ. Salvation, pure and simple, is God delivering each one from the inability to love other human beings and the Creator Himself. The obstacle to this perfect love is the serpent of human wisdom and pride that existed even in Jesus. In his loving obedience to the Father, Jesus nailed this serpent to the cross. Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent attempts to show that the question of evil and suffering in the world is answered by Yahweh's eventual success in saving all of mankind. The majority of Christians believe in a number of key doctrines that the biblical authors do not unequivocally teach. A few verses may support these unbiblical doctrines but a greater number of verses, whose meaning is clearer, contradict the standard interpretation of these few verses. Other doctrines that Christians mistakenly believe in find support in this or that section of the Bible but are denied by the general thrust of the Bible as a whole. These unbiblical doctrines followed by the correct biblical teaching are: 1. Sometime in the distant past a large number of God's angels rebelled against Him becoming what are called devils or demons whose leader is known as Satan or Lucifer. The Bible teaches that the only agent of evil in the universe is man's heart. 2. Adam and Eve possessed the perfection of Jesus Christ before they sinned. If they had not sinned they would not have needed to be healed of any weakness. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve could not have had eternal life even before they sinned without the work of Jesus of Nazareth. 3. Faith is an act of the free will of man. The Bible teaches that faith does involve man putting his trust in God's promises and revelation, but it is primarily a power given to man by God in order to enable him to see spiritual truth the natural man cannot see. Without this gift of the Holy Spirit, no human being can know God and be saved. 4. Ultimately speaking, we are saved by our faith. On the contrary, it is through Jesus's faith in and love for the Father that is the instrument of our salvation. 5. Jesus saved us by paying the penalty due our sins and therefore saving us from the just wrath of God. This is false. No one had to pay any penalty for God to forgive the sins of the human race. God relates to sinners on the basis of mercy and mercy is not mercy if the penalty for sin is paid. By going to the cross, Jesus healed our brokenness which forgiveness alone could not accomplish. 6. Satan and the sins of men are ultimately responsible for human suffering. False. God is ultimately responsible for human suffering as it is a necessary part of God's work of saving human beings. God Himself shares in all of our suffering: physical, emotional and spiritual even though He does not have a body or nervous system. 7. Salvation is about our eternal destiny. This is not correct. Salvation is about being saved from the idolatries, addictions, corruption, hatreds, evil deeds that afflict the unsav

Download or read book The Venom of the Serpent written by Don Mosbaugh and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The picture on the front cover of this book was inspired by God. The picture reminds me of when God sent serpents into the camp of the Jewish people because of their sins and lack of faith. Moses prayed for help. In Numbers 21:8-9, God told him to put a bronze serpent on a pole (I would not be surprised if it was in the shape of a cross), and when the bitten Jewish people looked upon it with faith, they lived. It was not the serpent that saved the people, but their faith in the one true God. It also represents Jesus on a cross, shedding his blood and crushing the serpent's head. This was the first Bible prophecy that took place in the Garden of Eden: "And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity (bitterness) between thee and the woman (Israel), and between thy seed (Satan) and her seed (Jesus); it shall bruise thy head (God caused His Son Jesus to die on the cross not only to save souls but also to cause the mortal wound to the head of the antichrist), and thou shalt bruise his heel" (Gen. 3:14-15). Jesus's crucifixion forgave all sins from the time of Adam and Eve to the end of the thousand-year millennial period (a period of seven thousand years). Then Satan the fallen Cherub will be cast into the "lake of fire" for eternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saying the prayer, “Jesus, I trust in You,” is easy. Living this prayer as Mary did is not so easy.

Stemming from years of personal prayer and lived experience, Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, hopes to encourage the reader to take the next step in their own journey with the Lord.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there credible reasons to believe many of the constellation and star names were given by inspiration of God? God's Signature in the Stars explores these ancient star names and their meanings to reveal the answer. The Bible states that God named the stars: "He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name" (Isa 40:26). These starry hosts appear in the night sky as God's "character actors," performing their roles on his celestial stage. God is the creator, writer, and director of this heavenly drama and cosmic dance. "By day and by night," his "starry hosts" are flickering above the footlights in God's theater in the sky!

Download or read book The Milk of His Word written by Ray Van Tassell Jr. and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we will learn the six basic doctrines of Christ. What we must learn to get our flesh under our feet. This writing reveals many issues concerning our walk with the LORD as we grow into His image through trials and tribulations, mostly brought on ourselves by our own ignorance. Hosea 4:6 states: "MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, "I" will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your GOD, "I" will also forget your children." Amos 3:3 states: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" We ARE UNDER GRACE, to learn of His ways as Exodus 33:13 tells us: "Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME now Your way, that I may know You, that I may find grace in Your sight: and consider that this nation is Your people." Tough words, but we, His called out ones, must repent and learn His word so Psalm 119:105 is alive to us: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." It is time for the truly repentant church (us) to grow up and learn of His higher ways and walk in agreement with the Most High, as Enoch did in the Old Covenant. Revelation 19:7 tells us: "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife has made herself ready." He then will return, NOT UNTIL! UNTIL WHEN, when we put His word in our hearts and come into agreement with the Most High, having put the SIN NATURE UNDER OUR FEET and walk in HIS COMPLETED VICTORY as a glorious church.

Download or read book Scandalous written by Don A Carson and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is more central to the Bible than Jesus' death and resurrection, over one weekend in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago. Attempts to make sense of the Bible that do not integrate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are doomed to failure. Jesus' own followers did not expect him to be crucified; they certainly did not expect him to rise again. Yet after these events their thinking and attitudes were so transformed that they could see the sheer inevitability that Jesus would die on a cross and leave an empty tomb behind, and absolutely everything in their lives was changed. However much the Bible insists on the historicity of these events, it is as important to know what they mean as to know that they happened. With clarity and conviction, D. A. Carson unpacks what some of the earliest witnesses wrote, in five New Testament texts, to provide an introductory explanation of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Download or read book The Rock and The Serpent Peter and Judas The Story of Christianity and Our Salvation written by Sebastian Lucido and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before sunset two men would be dead, and another in hiding. Each of them would become famous for the events that fateful Friday. Jesus, Peter and Judas. You think you know the story, but do you know the lesson? In this account of two betrayals, Sebastian Lucido reveals the events and choices that led each man to their very different destinies that week in Jerusalem. While both Peter and Judas considered themselves a faithful friend and a loyal follower of Christ, each man chose a different path that week in Jerusalem. The Rock and The Serpent is an intimate character investigation into the souls of Peter and Judas. After years of following Jesus, what could lead two men to denying Jesus that Passover Night? How is it that two normal, intelligent, seemingly well-intentioned human beings follow the same Teacher - and yet one of them would fail to learn the simplest and most essential lessons of the heart? At the same time, we will look at more pressing and contemporary questions: What essential lessons might we be missing from their stories? Which of these two men is most like us? And which story could have been your story, if you had walked and talked with Jesus two thousand years ago? Two Men. One Decision. What does it mean to follow Christ?

Download or read book The World s Sixteen Crucified Saviors written by Kersey Graves and published by Book Tree. This book was released on 1999-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, by Kersey Graves. Before Christianity there were 15 other religions that also has a savior who died for our sins, then arose from the dead. Graves gives all the details, plus much more found in common including the immaculate conception of the gods, virgin born gods, magi, shepherds and angels who visit the infant saviors, the birthday of the gods being December 25th, plus an explanation as to how Jesus began to be worshipped as a God. Some scholars suggest that Jesus spent time in India. One chapter in this book discusses 346 striking analogies between Christ and Chrishna, the Hindu god. Could this same story have traveled from India rather than the man himself? Could this ever-present story, "the greatest story ever told," be the common link between all early religions? Has the purpose of religion, in general, been designed to provide all of mankind with a common set of beliefs, to keep us from learning the real truth? It is difficult to answer these questions, but this book offers us a small step closer to the answers. It also shows us that Christianity is not alone or special in its beliefs and may cause us to explore further into the origins of religion.
