Rethinking Hell
Author: Christopher M. Date
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630871605
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Radical
Author: David Platt
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1601422210
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

The Evangelical Universalist
Author: Gregory MacDonald
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281068763
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Can an orthodox Christian, committed to the historic faith of the Church and the authority of the Bible, be a universalist? Is it possible to believe that salvation is found only by grace, through faith in Christ, and yet to maintain that in the end all people will be saved? Can one believe passionately in mission if one does not think that anyone will be lost forever? Could universalism be consistent with the teachings of the Bible? In The Evangelical Universalist the author argues that the answer is ‘yes!’ to all of these questions. Weaving together philosophical, theological, and biblical considerations, he seeks to show that being a committed universalist is consistent with the central teachings of the biblical texts and of historic Christian theology.

Shamati (I Heard)

ISBN: 1897448104
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Rav Michael Laitman's words on "Shamati" (as appeared in Attaining the Worlds Beyond): "Among all the texts and notes that were used by my teacher, Rabbi Baruch Shalom Halevi Ashlag (the Rabash), there was one, special notebook he always carried. This notebook contained transcripts of his conversations with his father, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Halevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), author of the "Sulam" (Ladder) commentary on "The Book of Zohar", "The Study of the Ten Sefirot" (a commentary on the texts of the Kabbalist, Ari), and many other works on Kabbalah. "Not feeling well on the Jewish New Year in September 1991, the Rabash summoned me to his bedside and handed me the notebook, whose cover contained only one word - "Shamati" (I Heard). As he handed me the notebook, he said, 'Take it and learn from it'. The following morning, my teacher perished in my arms, leaving me and many of his disciples without guidance in this world." Committed to Rabash's legacy to disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah, Michael Laitman published the notebook just as it was written, thus retaining the text's transforming powers. Among all the books of Kabbalah, Shamati is a unique and compelling composition.

The Holy Spirit of God
Author: Jack Lunsford
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1607911302
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
The subject of the Godhead and the Holy Spirit of God has proven to be a complicated and profound subject to articulate and/or expound upon. This book will set forth and press the view that the Holy Spirit had not accompanied the giving of the Old Testament scriptures because Jesus had not yet been "glorified" (John 7:39). However, under the New Testament covenant the Holy Spirit is given to dwell within every Christian to aid and strengthen the Christian. This book, hopefully, will cause many of us to reconsider the "Word Only" positions that are often set forth by good and honest brethren. While the Spirit works by means of the Sword of the Spirit, He also at times, works in conjunction with the word of God and directly with and in the individual Christian. The Author of this book alone bears responsibility for any criticism that might be given for the positions set forth herein. However, if any word of favor, Jesus Christ should be given all praise. Afterward, a special thanks to J.J. Turner and Edward P. Myers for their THE DOCTRINE OF THE GODHEAD. The Author used some of their material extensively, along with notes taken under the tutelage of J.J. Turner (1972-1974). Thanks also for Richard Rogers fine material on the Godhead and his THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. Thanks also for a short section of Jim McGuiggan's piece on BAPTIZED WITH THE SPIRIT. Thanks also to Angie Poole and Chris Lunsford for their tireless efforts in editing. Further notes of appreciation can be seen inside the front cover.
