Book Description
This book began as an academic study of the various predictions in history of Christ's return. I may yet publish that work, but due to the current interest and misunderstanding of the Seventh Day Adventists, this volume specifically addresses their beliefs and how they differ from Christian doctrine. This book is not presented as a judge of Ben Carson's faith in Christ, but as a look at how his beliefs align with what we know of Adventism in lieu of his presenting as a presidential candidate. "I'm proud of the fact that I believe what God has said, and I've said many times that I'll defend it before anyone," Dr. Carson told the Adventist Report in 2013. "I want them to understand that we're very reasonable people and kind people, but we do have values and principles that we live by, and those are the things God has set forth in his word."So what are these values and principles By which he and other Seventh Day Adventists live?This book focuses on a baker's dozen of their beliefs:*Only those who worship on Saturday can be saved. *All churches other than Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church are teaching lies from the Devil. Only SDA members are true and obedient believers.*Jesus is Michael the Archangel and this is the name used for him (Jesus) in the Old Testament.*Christ's death did not fully atone for our sins.*Jesus is now cleaning the sanctuary (i.e. making atonement) in the heavens before he can return to the earth.*You will have to stand before God for judgment without a mediator.*A person can become sinless while they are still living on this earth in their physical body (sinless perfection).*Jesus Has Already Come in 1844*The souls of believers in Christ are not in heaven, but are sleeping in the graves (soul sleep). *The wicked will be finally and totally annihilated. They will simply cease to exist after the final judgment. *They do not believe in the eternal punishment of Satan and his fallen angels. *They believe in and demand vegetarianism. *They believe you should revere their founding prophetess, Ellen G. White and that her writings are on par with the Bible.

Because the Time is Near
Author: John MacArthur
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 080248039X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The end of the world is coming. From roadside signs to science fiction films, this slogan underscores our society’s nervous fascination with the future. Whether it’s a giant asteroid, a worldwide plague, or some other global catastrophe, the end of the world is a terrifying prospect—at least for those who have no idea what it will be like. For Christians, however, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. In fact, it should be something we actually look forward to. Why? Because God has told us how the world will end. And He has assured us that the end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. Our eternal hope, as believers, is intimately tied to the end of this world. All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation. Not only is Revelation the inspired Word of God, it is also the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. As such, it is an essential part of every Christian’s devotional life. Those who ignore Revelation deprive themselves of a rich treasure of divine truth, and the promised blessings that come from understanding that truth. Join John MacArthur as he explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.

ISBN: 1927230446
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Is the world going to hell in a handbasket? Is ours the generation that will be left behind? Are global events harbingers of the great tribulation? Such questions promote a fear and anxiety that is contrary to the hope-filled gospel of Jesus Christ. In AD70 and the End of the World, award-winning author Paul Ellis offers an alternative, gospel-based perspective of the last days. Based on an in-depth study of scripture and the forgotten lessons of history, he reveals the astonishing good news hidden within Christ’s parables and prophecies of judgment. This book is the antidote to pessimistic prophecy. It answers questions about Judgment Day, the rapture, and the end of the age. It reinterprets dark tales of vengeance and wrath through the bright light of grace. If you are weary of gloomy forecasts or are anxious about the apocalypse, AD70 and the End of the World will give you a confident and joyful expectation of a bright tomorrow.

ISBN: 1789740606
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.
