Discovering the Apostle's Doctrine
Author: James F. Disbrow
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465333363
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Discovering the Apostles Doctrine is sure to inflame the Christian community and will be considered a very controversial read by those who study Gods word with an inflexible understanding of Christian theology. Once the pages of this book and the minds of the readers are opened the comments of the author intertwined with biblical truth of scripture will bring a new enlightenment and a deeper understanding of Gods will. In Christendom over the last 2 millenniums there has been a departure from the true gospel of Jesus Christ as was presented by his apostles. In fact, the doctrines that were expressly taught by the apostles of Jesus Christ and that are presented in the New Testament are for the most part not followed by Christendom today. This book will bring the readers attention to the many warnings, which God has given mankind through his prophets, the apostles and His son Jesus Christ. These warnings were given that mankind then and now might be made aware that there exists in the world false prophets, wolves in sheeps clothing, false Christs, traditions of men and doctrines of devils with one purpose, to destroy mans hope of any relationship with God! In the spirit of the Watchman on the Wall it has been the writers effort to not only warn the reader but to give biblical direction to the saving grace that is found in Jesus Christ alone. This book will be the cause of much debate and will be considered heretical in many corners of Christendom. However, a closer look at the scriptures and with the help of the authors comments the reader will uncover the fundamental truths of God and embrace the eternal hope that is in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us that it is the broad way that will lead humanity to destruction and unfortunately many people will follow that path. Broadway is known for its bright lights, its glamour, excitement and its many opportunities to indulgence ones self. The broad way is also the way of deception, distraction, discouragement, distruction and death. Jesus further explained that the road or pathway to eternal life is a narrow passage and few people will find it. It is the writers prayer that this book will provoke the reader to study their bible with a receptive mind comparing scripture with scripture. Jesus died for everyone of us but the bible tells us that heaven itself is not for everyone. Revelation 21:27 states that there shall in no wise enter into the city of God any thing that defiles, neither those who have an abdominal life style or those who are filled with deception (liars), however those who have believed the truth of the scriptures will have found eternal life and their new home. A person must be born in to the family of God through faith in Jesus Christ. The apostles of Jesus have given us the road map to eternal life through their writings found in Gods word. Discovering the Apostles Doctrine will reassure the reader that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! Every professing Christian and every soul looking for Gods truth needs to read this book with their Bible at least once! This book is not fiction and it is not meant to be read for entertainment. This book is a sincere look into the word of God as it was brought to humanity by Gods prophets and the apostles of Jesus. This book is meant to help the reader think, pray and secure their eternal salvation!

We Cannot Be Silent
Author: R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718032829
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Twenty years ago, not one nation on earth had legal same-sex marriage. Now, access to same-sex marriage is increasingly seen as a basic human right. In a matter of less than a generation, western cultures have experienced a moral revolution. Dr. R. Albert Mohler examines how this transformation occurred, revealing the underlying cultural shifts behind this revolution: the acceptance of divorce culture, liberation of sex from reproduction, the prevalence of heterosexual cohabitation, the normalization of homosexuality, and the rise of the transgender movement. He then offers a deep look at how the Bible and Christian moral tradition provide a comprehensive understanding upon which Christians can build their personal lives, their marriages, church ministry, and cultural engagement. Dr. Mohler helps Christians in their understanding of the underlying issues of this significant cultural shift and how to face the challenge of believing faithfully, living faithfully, and engaging the culture faithfully in light of this massive change.

Teachings for an Unbelieving World
Author: John Paul II
Publisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 1594719861
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Winner of a first-place award for English translation editions from The Catholic Media Association. Teachings for an Unbelieving World is a newly discovered work written by St. John Paul II—then Archbishop Karol Wojtyła of Kraków—in the years just after Vatican II. He uses St. Paul’s sermon to the people of Athens in Acts 17 as a framework for articulating the faith in a culture of skepticism and unbelief. These thirteen brief reflections provide compelling teaching for Catholics in today’s post-Christian world and give fresh insight into JPII’s pontificate. This is the first English-language publication of this important work. St. John Paul II composed these thirteen reflections at a unique point of convergence in history—the closing of Vatican II in 1965 and the 1966 observance of one thousand years of Christianity in Poland. Teachings for an Unbelieving World is an extended meditation on Acts 17 where Paul speaks to the cultural elite of Athens after he observed an altar of an unknown god in the city. Quoting from both the Bible and the documents of Vatican II, John Paul II draws timely wisdom from the apostle’s mission to bring the truth of the Gospel to a worldly culture of sophistication and disbelief, one not unlike our own. The future pope reveals Paul’s memorable encounter as an enduring framework to boldly present the core truths of Catholic faith to those living under Poland’s communist regime. In so doing, JPII demonstrates how relevant Paul’s words are today and equips us to meet the challenges of proclaiming the faith in our times. Teachings for an Unbelieving World affirms the continuity of Catholic faith about: humanity’s place in God’s creation; our search for meaning, truth, and freedom; addressing a culture of unbelief; the gift of redemption in Jesus Christ; the grace of the Holy Spirit; the role of the Church in the world; the power of the Eucharist; the redemptive and self-giving nature of human love; and the importance of prayer.

“This Is My Doctrine”: The Development of Mormon Theology
Author: Charles R. Harrell
Publisher: Greg Kofford Books
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The principal doctrines defining Mormonism today often bear little resemblance to those it started out with in the early 1830s. This book shows that these doctrines did not originate in a vacuum but were rather prompted and informed by the religious culture from which Mormonism arose. Early Mormons, like their early Christian and even earlier Israelite predecessors, brought with them their own varied culturally conditioned theological presuppositions (a process of convergence) and only later acquired a more distinctive theological outlook (a process of differentiation). In this first-of-its-kind comprehensive treatment of the development of Mormon theology, Charles Harrell traces the history of Latter-day Saint doctrines from the times of the Old Testament to the present. He describes how Mormonism has carried on the tradition of the biblical authors, early Christians, and later Protestants in reinterpreting scripture to accommodate new theological ideas while attempting to uphold the integrity and authority of the scriptures. In the process, he probes three questions: How did Mormon doctrines develop? What are the scriptural underpinnings of these doctrines? And what do critical scholars make of these same scriptures? In this enlightening study, Harrell systematically peels back the doctrinal accretions of time to provide a fresh new look at Mormon theology. “This Is My Doctrine” will provide those already versed in Mormonism’s theological tradition with a new and richer perspective of Mormon theology. Those unacquainted with Mormonism will gain an appreciation for how Mormon theology fits into the larger Jewish and Christian theological traditions.
