On the Truth of Holy Scripture
Author: John Wycliffe
Publisher: Medieval Institute Publications
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Wyclif sought the restoration of an idealized past even if that meant taking revolutionary steps in the present to recover what had been lost. His 1377-78 On the Truth of Holy Scripture represents such an effort in reform: the recognition of the inherent perfection and veracity of the Sacred Page which serves as the model for daily conduct, discourse, and worship, thereby forming the foundation upon which Christendom itself is to be ordered.

Esther and Her Elusive God
Author: John Anthony Dunne
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1620327848
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
What if the way the book of Esther has been taught to us in church and retold to us in films, cartoons, and romance novels has missed the original point of the story? Far from being models of piety and devotion, Esther and Mordecai seem indifferent to the faith of their ancestors. How then did this story become part of the Bible and gain the broad acceptance that it has? If the church should not neglect the story, how should it be read? Esther and Her Elusive God calls Christians to avoid the common attempts to make Esther more palatable and theological, and to reclaim this secular story as Scripture. Readers will be encouraged to see in Esther a profound message of God's grace and faithfulness to his wayward people.

Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Who is God 'The Creator'? YOU ARE. YOU are the creator of genetic programmes and the instigator of evolution. The True Bible is for all those who question life. It is a book for those who seek answers to why humans came into existence and what our purpose is. The True Bible challenges and disrupts many perceived 'knowns'. 1. It challenges and disrupts what is known of religion and existing holy scriptures.2. It challenges and disrupts what is known of God and Jesus.3. It challenges and disrupts what is known of so-called 'miracles' and 'healing'. The bible in its current form is not the truth. Humans have been selective and manipulative in the messages contained therein. The words have been manipulated through a wayward desire to incite fear/restriction and thus gain power and control - by the few, over the many. The messages in the existing 'holy scriptures' tell a story of genetic evolution.The messages are symbolised and repeated in every story contained in these scriptures. The existing 'bible' is not a 'history' book or a 'holy' book. It is a book of 'science'. The True Bible aligns religion with science - in a way that has never been done before. The existing bible has been decoded and is now revealed to all. Be prepared to read with an open mind. Now you will see for yourself what the 'true' messages are - coded and hidden in the 'holy scriptures'. This is a time of evolution and revolution. The True Bible is your 'map' - the matrix to guide you through these times. Part One - The Old Parables Decoded 1. The Book of Genesis decoded 2. The Book of Exodus decoded 3. The Book of Job decoded 4. The Book of Matthew decoded 5. The Book of Revelation decodedPart Two - The Bridge1. Death and Re-birth 2. Pearls of Wisdom 3. Learned Lessons in the Human Consciousness 4.
