Book Description
Before Jesus left this planet over two thousand years ago, He promised He would return to receive all believers onto Himself--believers who are dead and then believers who will be alive at the time of His return. All the things Jesus promised regarding the judgment, the punishment of the unrighteous, the experience of eternal life, and the completion and inheritance of His everlasting kingdom totally rely on the fact that Jesus must first come back to the planet He left, which is the Earth. This book presents biblical facts that refute the things we have been told about judgment day and the place of eternal punishment that is better known as hell. I present from the Holy Scriptures the fact that no one is presently burning in hell. I also prove by what is stated in the Scriptures that Christ must return, then the dead must be raised, and Judgment must occur first before any person will experience the punishment of hell. I also refute the nonbiblical assumption that says "good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell." I also provide information that will help any and all serious Bible students (even some casual Bible readers) to understand certain Bible words--words that are important in correctly understanding particular passages of Scripture the way they are intended to be understood. I present what the Bible reveals and what it actually says about the dead and what it says about the resurrection of the unsaved and salvation--salvation that can only be received through faith in Christ. I also show how those three things are relative to the coming of Christ, the judgment, and the punishment of all who reject God's love and mercy. This book is informative and challenging and gets straight to the point--no bloviating. The content of this book should either cause a reader to make the decision to receive Christ or inspire a believer to tell someone who is on the road to destruction about God's love and mercy that are received through faith in His Son, Jesus, who died and was resurrected to save and justify every person who would accept His gift of mercy and eternal life.

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible.

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

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.

Heaven and Hell

ISBN: 1501136747

Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket
