The Only True God
Author: Eric Chang

ISBN: 9781532898204

Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
The faith of the Bible is not trinitarian but unyieldingly monotheistic. God's message to humankind is a call to faith in Yahweh, the one and only God of Israel. Monotheism took root in the Law and the Prophets, and flourished in the hearts of God's people. Jesus upheld Biblical monotheism when he prayed to his Father, "This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."In this study of Biblical monotheism and of trinitarianism's claims to monotheism, we pay particular attention to the Biblical texts, principally John 1:1-18, which are typically used to underpin trinitarian doctrine.The book ends on a joyful note when it brings out the glorious blessings for God's people in the truth that the Word became flesh in Jesus Christ and dwelled among us.

The Only True God
Author: James F. McGrath
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252091892
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Monotheism is a powerful religious concept shaped by competing ideas and the problems they raised. Surveying New Testament writings and Jewish sources from before and after the rise of Christianity, James F. McGrath argues that even the most developed Christologies in the New Testament fit within the context of first century Jewish monotheism. McGrath pinpoints when the parting of ways took place over the issue of God's oneness, and explores philosophical ideas such as "creation out of nothing" which caused Jews and Christians to develop differing concepts and definitions about God.

One True God
Author: Rodney Stark
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691115009
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Western history would be unrecognizable had it not been for people who believed in One True God. There would have been wars, but no religious wars. There would have been moral codes, but no Commandments. Had the Jews been polytheists, they would today be only another barely remembered people, less important, but just as extinct as the Babylonians. Had Christians presented Jesus to the Greco-Roman world as ''another'' God, their faith would long since have gone the way of Mithraism. And surely Islam would never have made it out of the desert had Muhammad not removed Allah from the context of Arab paganism and proclaimed him as the only God. The three great monotheisms changed everything. With his customary clarity and vigor, Rodney Stark explains how and why monotheism has such immense power both to unite and to divide. Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? Why did both Christianity and Islam suddenly become less tolerant of Jews late in the eleventh century, prompting outbursts of mass murder? Why were the Jewish massacres by Christians concentrated in the cities along the Rhine River, and why did the pogroms by Muslims take place mainly in Granada? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert? Why did they sometimes assimilate? In the final chapter, Stark also examines the American experience to show that it is possible for committed monotheists to sustain norms of civility toward one another. A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world.

Know the Only True God

Pages : 202
Book Description
Know the Only True God: This is Eternal Life The all-powerful God of the universe wants us to know Him! What a sobering thought to meditate on. Jeremiah 9:23-24 declares, "This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.'" There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. The Bible has the power to change us and knowing the character of God helps us align our theology and practical living according to His Truth and purpose for our lives. Sadly, many of us who claim to know God have created our own "god" to fit our beliefs, values, desires, and the culture in which we live in. Satan desires just that! If we do not know the truths about our God, we will believe Satan's lies instead. How then can we truly know God? God has chosen to reveal Himself to us through His Word, but we must be willing to exercise our minds and hearts to truly study His Word. Whether you are a seasoned believer, brand new to the Christian faith, or just curious about who God is, Know the Only True God: This is Eternal Life will enlighten your eyes to the very character of God in a Biblical, logical, and practical progression. Rich truths are clearly explained in each lesson and thought-provoking questions take you a step further to help you prayerfully reflect on what you are learning. The book allows plenty of space for you to write down your thoughts, ideas, and references for you to refer back to years to come. This inductive Bible study is ideal for: Learning more about God in your own study of His Word Gaining a better understanding of how to study God's Word in-depth Discipling a new believer Leading a small group Bible study Evangelizing

Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
DISCOVER AFRESH THE BIBLICAL JESUS!Jesus Christ embodies God's glory and fullness. More than that, he is the only perfect man who has ever lived. But whereas his perfection is often taken for granted and regarded as a given, on the contrary it is a most stupendous achievement unparalleled in salvation history, for it was as a true man and not the trinitarian "God-man" that Jesus became perfect through suffering, obedience, and God's indwelling. He was consequently exalted to God's right hand as His supreme plenipotentiary, and given all authority in heaven and on earth. Hence the subtitle of the book, "The Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ" (2Cor.4:6). This book is exegetical yet also devotional and inspirational.ALSO DISCUSSED: - Yahweh the only true God- The historical roots of trinitarianism- Jesus of the Bible versus Jesus of trinitarianism- The four pillars of trinitarianism (John 1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, Revelation 1)- Jesus as the "form of God" in Philippians 2- The name above all names given to Jesus- Jesus' perfection as a model and inspiration to God's people- God's glory manifested in Jesus Christ, the perfect image of God.

The One True God
Author: Paul David Washer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780981732107
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This book is essentially bound as a Wire-O bound journal, with a hardback cover wrapping around the entire book, even the spine. This keeps the book in good shape for a long time, and also provides for optimum usablility. The One True God is a unique kind of workbook, intending not just to teach truth but to lead to an encounter with the living God. Beneath that goal the book aims to ground believers in orthodox Christian theology and the actual contents of the Bible. Students are encouraged to thoughtfully draw conclusions from the Scriptures rather than to merely absorb the principles, inferences, and illustrations set before them by theauthor. For this reason the book does not include such material and instead focuses on digesting the Scriptures directly. Through God's own words and under various systematic headings the book unfolds the nature of God. In this way the reader is set on a firm foundation and will readily perceive the centrality and high authority of biblical doctrine within the Christian life. It is the author's conviction that the study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline. Therefore students are guided throughout the study to think through and apply the truths they learn, meditating on the demands of Scripture for their heart and mind. The book puts us squarely in the middle of the material and demands we give searching thought to how we will live before such a God. This workbook is especially suited for the following contexts: (1) doctrinal training for new converts; (2) college and adult group Bible studies; (3) private study; (4) Christian or home school curriculum; (5) Sunday school material; (6) an aid to parents in teaching the Word of God to their children.
