Book Synopsis Jesus the Winemaker: Satan's Most Effective Lie by : Al Lunden
Download or read book Jesus the Winemaker: Satan's Most Effective Lie written by Al Lunden and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satans most effective lie? What conceivable falsehood would be more devastating to Christianity than the false inference that Jesus was and is a maker and user of wine or of any other mind-altering drug? Jesus was a man of perfection and without sin! Is drug use not a sin? This book provides a solid and perhaps somewhat revolutionary biblical hypothesis to firmly prove that Moses did not use wine and that Jesus did not make or use any wine. This hypothesis is based entirely on the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, because the Hebrew word yayin and the Greek word oinos were falsely or inadequately translated into Latin and into other European languages at some time after the hostile takeover of the New Testament Church in Rome by Constantine the Great. This conclusion is supported by Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and by his Hebrew and Greek dictionaries, by the books of Dr. Robert P. Teachout and Dr. Samuel Bacchiocchi, by the Full Life Study Bible edited by Donald C. Stamps, and by the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible and Lexicons of Spiros Zodhiates. Satan is to blame for this false translation, as he is, as Hal Lindsey once said, Alive and well on planet Earthand has overwhelming power when we allow him dominion. Those ancient words for wine and grape juice were all generic or interchangeable in literature, even until the King James Version of the Bible was printed. The original KJV is actually acceptable, but the absolute inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture have been faulted by the false translation of wine in modern Bibles since that time. Another proposed biblical hypothesis states that Satan inspired the equivalent of a hostile corporate takeover of the New Testament Church in Rome. This was done through Emperor Constantines agreement to cease the persecution and genocide of Christianity if he and his army were given key positions of respect or authority in the church. This resulted in the world's most powerful union of church and state, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, which has now existed for many centuries.
Book Synopsis The Tradition of the Elders by : T. Hoogsteen
Download or read book The Tradition of the Elders written by T. Hoogsteen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tradition of the Elders, based on Matt 15:1-20 and Mark 7:1-23, explores how the oral law upheld and promoted the anti-Christian forces of Pharisaism and Sadduceism. As such, they appear repeatedly in the New Testament documents, often as "the law" and "the works of the law." For example, consider: - "When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law" (Rom 2:14). - "We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified" (Gal 2:15-16). - "Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law?" (Gal 4:21). But which law do these legal references concern--the Torah, the oral law, or the Decalogue? This important distinction between the oral law and the Ten Commandments is what The Tradition of the Elders sets out to make clear. All New Testament exegetes, including teachers and students, can benefit from an increased understanding of the enmity of the oral law against the Gospel. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
Download or read book Constantine written by Paul Stephenson and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “knowledgeable account” of the emperor who brought Christianity to Rome “provides valuable insight into Constantine’s era” (Kirkus Reviews). “By this sign conquer.” So began the reign of Constantine. In 312 A.D. a cross appeared in the sky above his army as he marched on Rome. In answer, Constantine bade his soldiers to inscribe the cross on their shield, and so fortified, they drove their rivals into the Tiber and claimed Rome for themselves. Constantine led Christianity and its adherents out of the shadow of persecution. He united the western and eastern halves of the Roman Empire, raising a new city center in the east. When barbarian hordes consumed Rome itself, Constantinople remained as a beacon of Roman Christianity. Constantine is a fascinating survey of the life and enduring legacy of perhaps the greatest and most unjustly ignored of the Roman emperors—written by a richly gifted historian. Paul Stephenson offers a nuanced and deeply satisfying account of a man whose cultural and spiritual renewal of the Roman Empire gave birth to the idea of a unified Christian Europe underpinned by a commitment to religious tolerance. “Successfully combines historical documents, examples of Roman art, sculpture, and coinage with the lessons of geopolitics to produce a complex biography of the Emperor Constantine.” —Publishers Weekly
Book Synopsis How Christmas Became Christmas by : Nathaniel Parry
Download or read book How Christmas Became Christmas written by Nathaniel Parry and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some respects, the contrasts of Christmas are what make it the most delightful time of the year. It is a time of generosity, kindness and peace on earth, with broad permission to indulge in food, drink and gifts. On the other hand, Christmas has become a battleground for raging culture wars, marred by debates about how it should be celebrated and acknowledged as a uniquely Christian holiday. This text argues that much of the animosity is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the holiday's core character. By tracing Christmas's origins as a pagan celebration of the winter solstice and its development in Europe's Christianization, this history explains that the true "reason for the season" has as much to do with the earth's movement around the sun as with the birth of Christ. Chapters chronicle how Christmas's magic and misrule link to the nativity, and why the carnival side of the holiday appears so separated from traditional Christian beliefs.

Book Synopsis Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition from Ancient to Modern Times by : George A. Kennedy
Download or read book Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition from Ancient to Modern Times written by George A. Kennedy and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-07-11 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication by UNC Press in 1980, this book has provided thousands of students with a concise introduction and guide to the history of the classical tradition in rhetoric, the ancient but ever vital art of persuasion. Now, George Kennedy offers a thoroughly revised and updated edition of Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition. From its development in ancient Greece and Rome, through its continuation and adaptation in Europe and America through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, to its enduring significance in the twentieth century, he traces the theory and practice of classical rhetoric through history. At each stage of the way, he demonstrates how new societies modified classical rhetoric to fit their needs. For this edition, Kennedy has updated the text and the bibliography to incorporate new scholarship; added sections relating to women orators and rhetoricians throughout history; and enlarged the discussion of rhetoric in America, Germany, and Spain. He has also included more information about historical and intellectual contexts to assist the reader in understanding the tradition of classical rhetoric.
Book Synopsis Ireland's History by : Kenneth L. Campbell
Download or read book Ireland's History written by Kenneth L. Campbell and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland's History provides an introduction to Irish history that blends a scholarly approach to the subject, based on recent research and current historiographical perspectives, with a clear and accessible writing style. All the major themes in Irish history are covered, from prehistoric times right through to present day, from the emergence of Celtic Christianity after the fall of the Roman Empire, to Ireland and the European Union, secularism and rapprochement with the United Kingdom. By avoiding adopting a purely nationalistic perspective, Kenneth Campbell offers a balanced approach, covering not only social and economic history, but also political, cultural, and religious history, and exploring the interconnections among these various approaches. This text will encourage students to think critically about the past and to examine how a study of Irish history might inform and influence their understanding of history in general.
Book Synopsis Paying Attention by : Gary Peluso-Verdend
Download or read book Paying Attention written by Gary Peluso-Verdend and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005-07-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a culture marked by what many call “attention-deficit disorder,” congregations and their leaders are subject to distractions that detract from their mission and lead them in directions that have little to do with their reason for existence. Size concerns, building preservation, situational conflicts, the lure of technology, and the so-called worship wars all threaten to distract congregations from what matters most. Thus, churches can become part of the problem rather than a positive influence in the lives of their people and their communities. In this inspiring volume, Gary Peluso-Verdend issues a clarion call to congregational leaders to refocus their church’s attention on the core matters of Christian faith—the Word, the example of Christ, and an intentional embrace of theology and spiritual practice—to renew the congregation’s vision and to center itself again on God’s call. Paying Attention takes on obsession and anxiety, the two “vampires of attention,” that focus on the unfixable past and the uncontrollable future, wasting and dissipating attention. True Christian attention is focused on the now, and this book calls on congregations to be present to the persons and issues that God has entrusted to them. As Jesus of Nazareth’s ability to be fully attentive and present to people was remarkable, congregations should look to his example and attend as he attended. Paying Attention urges congregations to develop their theology of attention and to engage in the Christian practice of attending lovingly to God and to neighbor so that they may participate fully in the kingdom of God. With study questions at the end of each chapter and an imagined conversation between people practicing theology in their congregation, Paying Attention provides an invaluable companion in a congregation’s journey toward purposeful, attentive faithfulness.
