Book Synopsis Escape from Apostasy by : Mischa S. Safdie
Download or read book Escape from Apostasy written by Mischa S. Safdie and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible prophecy warns us of a time of rampant false teaching entering the organized Christian Church. These prophecies warn of a time of teachers, ministers and believers alike being taken captive by spirits of deception and doctrines of demons. It speaks of a time that there will be a great falling away and departure from the true foundation faith provided in the Word of God. That time has arrived. In a time of great falling away from true Biblical doctrine and practice, this book is designed to bring the cross of Jesus Christ and Christian message as it was intended, back to the Church and to all Christian believers. The book covers everything from defining the true born again experience to how we walk after we are born again. Evangelist and Pastor Mischa Safdie' discusses much of the error in many misled individuals in society who "profess" to be Christians but really are not, and that of many modern day organized churches now and he provides a scriptural solution, as well as wisdom, direction and prevention from following apostate teachers today, thereby entering into apostasy and deception oneself. He discusses the dangers of "A New Cart" ministry versus "The Word of the Cross of Jesus Christ. This book is based on scriptural foundation and not solely the opinions of the author, as so many other publications are today. Mischa S. Safdie' Ministries believes this book is a "must read" for all end time Christians, ministers, other believers and those that desire to know what a true walk with Jesus Christ is really all about. The Bible is not outdated. The wheel does not need to be reinvented. God knew what He was doing when He gave His written Word to the world. Now, we must rise up as a spiritual army, as defenders of the cross of Jesus Christ and reclaim what the enemy has taken!

Book Synopsis The Great Apostasy by : James Edward Talmage
Download or read book The Great Apostasy written by James Edward Talmage and published by Binker North. This book was released on 1909 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History is a 1909 book by James E. Talmage that summarizes the Great Apostasy, Mormon doctrine, from the viewpoint of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage wrote his book with the intention that it be used as a teaching tool within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The book is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History. Both writers borrowed heavily from the writings of Protestant scholars who argued that Roman Catholicism had apostatized from true Christianity. Talmage's book has been described as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint views of the Great Apostasy.

Download or read book The Apostates written by Simon Cottee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostates is the first major study of apostasy from Islam in the western secular context. Drawing on life-history interviews with ex-Muslims from the UK and Canada, Simon Cottee explores how and with what consequences Muslims leave Islam and become irreligious. Apostasy in Islam is a deeply controversial issue and features prominently in current debates over the expansion of Islam in the West and what this means. Yet it remains poorly understood, in large part because it has become so politicized-with protagonists on either side of the debate selectively invoking Islamic theology to make claims about the 'true' face of Islam. The Apostates charts a different course by examining the social situation and experiences of ex-Muslims. Cottee suggests that Islamic apostasy in the West is best understood not as a legal or political problem, but as a moral issue within Muslim families and communities. Outside of Muslim-majority societies, ex-Muslims are not living in fear for their lives. But they face and must manage the stigma attached to leaving the faith from among their own families and the wider Muslim community.
Book Synopsis Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament by : Dongsu Kim
Download or read book Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament written by Dongsu Kim and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament thoroughly examines all the New Testament texts relevant to the controversial questions of whether a genuine believer can apostatize and/or whether an apostate can be restored. The primary contribution of the book lies in the in-depth exegesis of the relevant New Testament Greek texts against the socio-historical circumstances of each faith community in the New Testament. The book inductively shows that the New Testament writers maintain a uniform perception on perseverance and apostasy based on Jesus’ words that bear upon the subject described in the Gospels. It also illuminates questions of the relationship between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility, the role of the Holy Spirit for the believer’s perseverance, and the role of Satan for the apostates’ falling away. The book is a needed addition to earlier works on perseverance and apostasy. ENDORSEMENTS The debate over the issues of perseverance and apostasy will likely remain in the church until the coming of Christ. Many despair of ever coming to a definitive conclusion, often contending that the biblical evidence is inconsistent and beyond resolution. Don Kim’s near-exhaustive analysis of the relevant NT texts proves otherwise. He is thoroughly conversant with virtually all contributors to this subject and his meticulous contribution will surely prove to be the standard for future dialogue. Anyone who proposes to engage with this controversial matter cannot afford to overlook this remarkably helpful and insightful book. Dr. Sam Storms, Lead Pastor of Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City Enjoying God Ministries Don Kim has written an amazingly thorough and careful study on perseverance and apostasy in the New Testament. Scholars disagree on how to interpret these difficult passages, but Kim defends well his own understanding, and his important study will have to be reckoned with in future work on this controversial topic. Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Professor of Biblical Theology The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament is a well-executed and thorough examination of New Testament texts that bear upon or otherwise illuminate the difficult question of whether a true believer can apostatize. The author neither avoids difficult questions nor skirts challenging texts. Rather, he carefully works his way through each relevant New Testament text’s central exegetical questions, offering judicious insights and integrating those insights into a collective explanation. I found some of my own assumptions challenged while reading this book. I am happy to recommend it as a helpful addition to—and sometimes needed correction of—earlier works on perseverance. Dr. Kenneth Berding, Professor of New Testament Talbot School of Theology at Biola University Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament concentrates on the crucial questions of whether genuine believers in Jesus could apostatize and whether the NT presents a consistent picture on that very issue—by providing a careful exegetical treatment of numerous passages across the New Testament, beginning with the Synoptics and John’s Gospel, walking through Acts and the letters, and completing with the book of Revelation. One’s theological presuppositions will, of course, affect how he/she receives and responds to Kim’s case. It will also be unrealistic to expect even those agreeing passionately with Kim to concur on every detail in a tome of this magnitude. Yet, undoubtedly, Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament proves to be an essential reading for pastors and theological students who (should) wrestle with the issue of perseverance and apostasy and the relevant biblical texts to form their own conclusions. This well-written book will serve its readers effectively by sharpening or challenging their views, if not both. Dr. John Lee, Associate Professor of New Testament Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary This substantial study by Dongsu Kim is a decisive demonstration of the historic doctrine of the perseverance of the saints taught and defended by the Reformed tradition. “Perseverance and Apostasy in the New Testament” provides a thoroughly biblical and hermeneutically and canonically sensitive study. Kim’s exposition is scholarly, rigorous and articulate. He argues persuasively that the various biblical writers’ engagements with apostasy are consonant with the Scriptures’ declarations of divine sovereign grace in salvation. “Perseverance and apostasy in the New Testament” is an extensive arsenal of biblical and theological insights that will be of value for exegetes and theologians alike. Dr. Peter A. Lillback, president, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia The Reformed doctrine of perseverance of the saints has recently been tremendously challenged and egregiously distorted. For example, the New Perspective on Paul has seriously rejected the traditional wisdom, advocating revisions not only of the doctrine of perseverance but also justification. In response to these criticisms, challenges and distortions, this book provides a most comprehensive and compelling antidote with profoundly detailed and meticulous exegetical engagements with the New Testament texts. Dr. Kim did an excellent job in presenting a powerful and persuasive case for God’s gracious and faithful preservation of true believers in Christ. This is a masterpiece and must read for anyone interested in Scripture’s teachings about the ideas of perseverance and apostasy. Dr. Sung Wook Chung, Professor of Christian Theology Denver Seminary Kim asks whether New Testament authors maintain a consistent theology of perseverance and apostasy or not. Is it conceivable that divinely inspired authors contradict each other with different theologies of perseverance and apostasy? Or must we admit they contradict each other and deny plenary verbal inspiration of Scripture? Kim is fully aware that no scholar asks these questions without theological presuppositions which predetermine his answers. He himself enters this hermeneutical circle with his own working definitions of perseverance and apostasy. He challenges himself and his readers allow the New Testament itself to revise and refine our theological presuppositions and working definitions. Kim is also aware of the error of selective evidence. To avoid it, he chooses passages from the entire New Testament that he deems critical to understanding the subject of perseverance and apostasy. Kim’s book is new essential reading for everybody who wants to formulate a comprehensive New Testament theology of perseverance and apostasy. Dr. Andrew D. Parlee, Professor of Systematic Theology Greater Europe Mission, Thirdmill Seminary

Book Synopsis Nature and Causes of Apostasy from the Gospel by : John Owen
Download or read book Nature and Causes of Apostasy from the Gospel written by John Owen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often church adherents don't take seriously the issue of apostacy in their churches. We will accept a person falling away and coming back as many times as needed without thinking of the theological ramifications for allowing a person to continuously crucify Christ at their own whim. Owen in this work shows the serious problem that apostacy brings to a church body and also the seriousness in our own lives of people around us that fall away from the true and only Christian faith.
Book Synopsis Churches under Siege of Persecution and Assimilation by : B. J. Oropeza

This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B. J. Oropeza offers the most thorough examination in recent times on the subject of apostasy in the New Testament. The study examines each book of the New Testament with a fourfold approach that identifies the emerging Christian community in danger, the nature of apostasy that threatens the congregations, and the consequences of defection. Oropeza then compares the various perspectives of the communities in Christ in order to determine the ways in which they perceived apostasy and whether defectors could be restored. In this final book of a three-volume set titled Apostasy in the New Testament Communities, Oropeza focuses on the Christ communities found in the General Epistles and Revelation.

Book Synopsis Leaving the Witness by : Amber Scorah
Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture--and a whole new way of thinking--turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.

Book Synopsis The Apostasy Now! by : Brother Nolan
Download or read book The Apostasy Now! written by Brother Nolan and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who say "Rapture before Tribulation" are in effect saying "peace and safety"! And therefore, you being a foolish virgin, with not enough oil to light your lamp for the breaking of the first six seals, shall these same seal judgments come upon you for your destruction, "...suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child and they shall not escape", I Thessalonians 5:3. Can you put your finger on the order of events Christ gives us in Matthew 24:3-31? See also the Apostasy and the "man of lawlessness", both come before the rapture. Read: II Thessalonians 2:3. See order of events: Daniel chapter 12, Revelation chapters 6, 7, 13 and 14. Remember, there is only one harvest or rapture. Make ready ye saints in this; "The Laodicean Apostate Church". We must pass through the tribulation for the trying of our faith; for the separating of the wheat from the tares, or the five wise from among the five foolish virgins. Do you have enough oil to endure unto the end? Or will your lamp go out? Try some of my oil; For "my cup runneth over!" Please! Read on... After the Rapture, then comes the Wrath of God on the Foolish Virgins! Next: Tormenting wrath on Anti-Christ followers of all nations, as the elements become increasingly toxic. Then Anti-Christ armies suffer greatly! Now comes all the armies of all nations to join satan, the beast and the false prophet, to battle Israel and God's armies from heaven; for "The Last Great Battle" "The Battle of Armageddon!" Next: "The Millennium," "The Second Death", "Lake of Fire..."
