Download or read book God as Creator in Acts 17:24 written by Jennifer Marie Creamer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Areopagus speech of Acts provides a helpful study of how Paul both engaged and confronted the contemporary culture of his day to present the message of Christianity to his hearers in Athens. How does Paul, as a Jew, contextualize the message for his audience of Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Athens on the topic of God as Creator in Acts 17:24? Paul touches on a subject of contentious debate between Stoics and Epicureans when he identifies God as Creator. Stoics believed in a creating deity, something akin to Plato’s demiurge of the Timaeus. Epicureans ridiculed such an idea. By using the identification of God as Creator, Paul engages a common controversy between schools of philosophy.

Book Synopsis God's Divine Teachings by : Dorothy Angkahan
Download or read book God's Divine Teachings written by Dorothy Angkahan and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 783 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reality is, few believers have the time to search God's truths in the Bible, with its array of subjects (teachings). Therefore, handbooks on God's divine truths (Scripture) from the Bible are useful tools to do away with the tedious work--searching through the pages for specific teachings in the Bible. But a word of caution, handbooks are not written with the intend to deter one from studying one's own Bible, but to use as a tool (reference) alongside one's Bible--as one seeks God's truths in the Scriptures with the Holy Spirit's help (Jo. 14:26) and using spiritual discernment to study God's word ( 1Cor. 2:14; 2Tim. 3:16). This book also serves the same purpose, a reference tool, to help those who want easier access to specific teachings in the Bible. For example, and presented in this book, the origin of evil is in the Bible, yet it can be time-consuming to search through the Bible for the teachings on the origin of evil if one has limited time on hand. In this book, one will find a useful commentary, written in layman's terms that will give a step-by-step approach on the teaching on the origin of evil from the Bible--What is evil's origin? And why evil exist?--As well as the other teachings from the Bible presented in this book. The truth is when a repented sinner is saved through the Lord Jesus Christ (Jo. 3:16, 17), God's intentions for His children (in Christ) is to become knowledgeable on His divine teachings in the Bible. Yet there are those who are not familiar with the divine teachings in the Bible and may believe it isn't necessary to study God's truths (Scripture), as long as one is saved (Jo. 3:16, 17; Ro. 10:9, 10; 2Tim. 1:9, 10). But that isn't so, according to the Bible, for example, if a believer is going to carry his cross to follow Jesus (Mt. 10:38), then he needs to understand what he is up against--his spiritual warfare against evil spirits in the world (Eph. 6:12) in order to remain steadfast in the faith and overcome the day of evil, when forced upon him (Eph. 6:13). And according to the Scriptures, one needs to know God (Jo. 17:3) in order for one to know His will for a believer's life; and the only way to know the true God is with the Holy Spirit's help (Jo. 14:26), and this is also taught in the Bible--the importance of the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures in a believer's life (Gal. 5:25; 2Tim. 3:16). And if a believer is to follow Jesus Christ's example here on earth, then he needs to learn what the Scriptures teach about the Son of God, Jesus Christ ( 1Pe. 2: 21). In fact, the more knowledge one gets studying about the teachings on God and His specific attributes (love, mercy, justice, etc.) and His other divine truths on prayer, faith, works, and stewardship (Phil. 4:6; Jas. 2:14-26; 1 Pe. 4:10) etc. in the Bible, one may become better equipped, with the Holy Spirit's help and God's word, to face the challenges in life, through the Lord Jesus Christ. May God's truths from the Bible, presented in this book, enrich and enlighten one's life today and onward for God's glory. As for all interpretations of God's word in any book, including this one, please carefully compare with the Scriptures (2 Tim. 3:16) and use spiritual discernment ( 1Cor. 2:14) with the Holy Spiritual help, then one will not be misguided but enlighten to understand God's divine teachings from the Holy Scriptures. May one seek wisdom from God today (Jas. 1:5-7).

Book Synopsis Defending Inerrancy by : Norman L. Geisler
Download or read book Defending Inerrancy written by Norman L. Geisler and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the authors, the doctrine of inerrancy has been standard, accepted teaching for more than 1,000 years. In 1978, the famous "Chicago Statement" on inerrancy was adopted by the Evangelical Theological Society, and for decades it has been the accepted conservative evangelical doctrine of the Scriptures. However, in recent years, some prominent evangelical authors have challenged this statement in their writings. Now eminent apologist and bestselling author Norman L. Geisler, who was one of the original drafters of the "Chicago Statement," and his coauthor, William C. Roach, present a defense of the traditional understanding of inerrancy for a new generation of Christians who are being assaulted with challenges to the nature of God, truth, and language. Pastors, students, and armchair theologians will appreciate this clear, reasoned response to the current crisis.

Book Synopsis The Cosmos and the Creator by : David Fergusson
Download or read book The Cosmos and the Creator written by David Fergusson and published by Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. This book was released on 1998 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to position Christianity in relation to other religions, most notably Judaism and Islam, has brought about a renewed interest in the theme of creation, which has been off the theological agenda for much of the 20th century. Environmentalists, biologists, feminists and process theologians have all registered concerns, from their different perspectives, about the way in which the traditional doctrine of creation characterizes the relationship between the cosmos and its creator. Furthermore, the hoilism of the New Age and its resonance with eastern patterns of thought seems to offer something radically different from the Judaeo-Christian understanding of the creation. It is in the light of these concerns that the author argues for the doctrine of creation as a distictively Christian article of faith. By recognizing at the the same time that criticisms which have been made of its traditional formulations must be properly acknowledged and accommodated, the author is able to use the best insights from secular disciples to construct a theology of creation which is responsible.
