Book Description
A scarlet thread runs throughout the Bible. It is the concept of redemptive blood. Jesus’ beautiful and terrible death on the cross is central to the story of that scarlet thread, but there is more to the story. To understand the scarlet thread fully, we must look at the sanctuary: the holy ground that offers a glimpse of God’s character and His plan of redemption. Mysterious and often misunderstood, the sanctuary is at the very heart of biblical theology. Where God and I Meet will help you achieve greater understanding of the heavenly sanctuary, the Israelite sanctuary, the pre-Advent judgment, and Christ’s sacrifice and high-priestly ministry. You’ll come to grasp how the sanctuary interconnects with salvation, prophecy, and mission. But most important, you will see how the precious scarlet thread weaves a message of hope and redemption throughout every page of the Bible.

Where God and Science Meet
Author: Patrick McNamara Ph.D.

Languages : en
Pages : 918
Book Description
Spiritual practices, or awakenings, have an impact on brain, mind and personality. These changes are being scientifically predicted and proven. For example, studies show Buddhist priests and Franciscan nuns at the peak of religious feelings show a functional change in the lobes of their brain. Similar processes have been found in people with epilepsy, which Hippocrates called the sacred disease. New research is showing that not only does a person's brain activity change in particular areas while that person is experiencing religious epiphany, but such events can be created for some people, even self-professed atheists, by stimulating various parts of the brain. In this far-reaching and novel set, experts from across the nation and around the world present evolutionary, neuroscientific, and psychological approaches to explaining and exploring religion, including the newest findings and evidence that have spurred the fledgling field of neurotheology. It is not the goal of neurotheology to prove or disprove the existence of God, but to understand the biology of spiritual experiences. Such experiences seem to exist outside time and space - caused by the brain for some reason losing its perception of a boundary between physical body and outside world - and could help explain other intangible events, such as altered states of consciousness, possessions, alien visitations, near-death experiences and out-of-body events. Understanding them - as well as how and why these abilities evolved in the brain - could also help us understand how religion contributes to survival of the human race. Eminent contributors to this set help us answer questions including: How does religion better our brain function? What is the difference between a religious person and a terrorist who kills in the name of religion? Is there one site or function in the brain necessary for religious experience?

The Supernatural: the Place I Meet God
Author: Rena Wilburn
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665521864
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
The traditions of men make the word of God of non-effect. However, when God and man are one, we can embrace endless possibilities of his grace. When the cloud of glory is moving, move with it. From glory to glory – faith to faith – victory to victory. The hidden mysteries in God are revealed to those who have a heart for him. As God reveals His secrets, we are transformed by the renewing of our mind to the word and ways of The Father. Reformation is needed as we continue to receive deeper and greater revelations from the Holy Spirit. Change is inevitable, not always welcomed, but necessary. As we change (metanoia) our thinking, our theology will shift, and it is then we discover the nuances of His grace (hesed) and love. Adventures with God into the SuperNatural realm will yield tremendous and awesome benefits. “The problem isn’t that I (God) haven’t given; it’s that you haven’t received (ask God to help you receive),” We receive most of these benefits as gifts of His grace by our spoken words. When what we see is not what we want, it’s not over for the Believer. Creative miracles, Recovery, and Restorations of things lost will become the Natural way of life in this SuperNatural move of God. Miracles will occur at an accelerated pace. It starts as we surrender to the will of the Father, change our thinking and begin to declare: “Restore, Restore.” The SuperNatural is the place we meet God. It is here that we are changed in the presence of his glory. It is the place where we embrace endless possibilities and where nothing, absolutely nothing, is impossible. It is here that God and man become one, and endless possibilities become our reality.

The Last Days Are Left Behind
Author: James Ellis
Publisher: Wheatmark, Inc.
ISBN: 1604940344
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Have you been wondering as a Christian, or non-Christian, what many think -- and expect -- will happen in the "last days" or "end times" with all the talk and focus in the headlines -- and some churches -- about our future? And with all the events taking place in the Middle East, especially Israel? And Iran? Are you confused because of various end-time scenarios and conflicting opinions promoted through popular books on prophecy, the Left Behind series, televangelists, preachers, and others speaking of a great tribulation, rapture, Armageddon, Apocalypse, the destruction of the earth, a new heaven and earth, a second coming, and a millennium? There has been an overload of teaching and information about these things over the last century -- however sincere and cloaked in good intentions -- yet with long-held and deep-seated traditions and doctrines, all borne of a lack of accurate knowledge (particularly the Hebrew and Greek) and information based on compelling evidence. Would you like to know what the Bible actually says about all these issues? For God's Word itself -- "Let Scripture Interpret Scripture" -- and the Holy Spirit are the only necessary interpreters. The Last Days Are Left Behind will challenge your thinking, help to erase the confusion, and provide clarity regarding the present-day purpose of God. Author James Ellis demonstrates end-time truth based logically on solid evidence after a linguistically accurate, biblically consistent, and intellectually honest examination of the Bible's prophetic passages and verses, the original languages -- Hebrew and Greek, the social, cultural, and historical context of Scripture, and the relevance of the audience spoken or written to in God's Word.

Election, Atonement, and the Holy Spirit
Author: Matthias Grebe
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227904281
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Election, Atonement, and the Holy Spirit' is an examination of the doctrines of election and atonement in Karl Barth's 'Church Dogmatics', taking up Barth's own challenge to his reader to surpass his argument and offer a better typological interpretationof the cultic texts. Barth's radical re-working of Calvin's doctrine of election is one of the most important developments in twentieth-century theology. Christ synthesizes for Barth a particular dialectic: the binary structure of God's Yes of election and God's No of rejection. The book's central question - how can Jesus simultaneously be both the elected and the rejected (CD II/2), acting as both the judge and the judged (CD IV/1)? - is followed by an exploration of the roles of the Holy Spirit and human freedom in God's electing and saving action. Although commentators acknowledge Barth's innovation in this area but also identify problems with his approach, few have offered what David Ford has called a correction 'from within' Barth, using Barth's ownmethod. Using the concept of Existenzstellvertretung, this critique of Barth's exegetical justification for the doctrines offers an alternative exegesis that not only provides this much-needed correction, but also immerses the reader in a fresh engagement with Scripture itself.
