Download or read book The World of Gods and the One True God written by Leonardo L. Williams M.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-08-07 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will enrich the reader with the knowledge of twenty to twenty-two religions in depth of their origin and their beliefs. As a Christian, one would ask, Why should I read this book? Well, the answer is simple. You dont know where you are going if you dont know where you come from. All religions come from the Eastern countries, but namely, Christianity is the only one that teaches about a deity (Lord Jesus) that saves souls. In this book, all the religions are compared to a certain extinct to enlighten the reader on scripture-based and prophecy-based teachings about the beginning of the world as well as the end of the world or, should I say, the coming of the Messiah.
Download or read book One True God written by Rodney Stark and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western history would be unrecognizable had it not been for people who believed in One True God. There would have been wars, but no religious wars. There would have been moral codes, but no Commandments. Had the Jews been polytheists, they would today be only another barely remembered people, less important, but just as extinct as the Babylonians. Had Christians presented Jesus to the Greco-Roman world as ''another'' God, their faith would long since have gone the way of Mithraism. And surely Islam would never have made it out of the desert had Muhammad not removed Allah from the context of Arab paganism and proclaimed him as the only God. The three great monotheisms changed everything. With his customary clarity and vigor, Rodney Stark explains how and why monotheism has such immense power both to unite and to divide. Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? Why did both Christianity and Islam suddenly become less tolerant of Jews late in the eleventh century, prompting outbursts of mass murder? Why were the Jewish massacres by Christians concentrated in the cities along the Rhine River, and why did the pogroms by Muslims take place mainly in Granada? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert? Why did they sometimes assimilate? In the final chapter, Stark also examines the American experience to show that it is possible for committed monotheists to sustain norms of civility toward one another. A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world.

Download or read book Of God and Gods written by Jan Assmann and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, our world has been shaped by biblical monotheism. But its hallmark—a distinction between one true God and many false gods—was once a new and radical idea. Of God and Gods explores the revolutionary newness of biblical theology against a background of the polytheism that was once so commonplace. Jan Assmann, one of the most distinguished scholars of ancient Egypt working today, traces the concept of a true religion back to its earliest beginnings in Egypt and describes how this new idea took shape in the context of the older polytheistic world that it rejected. He offers readers a deepened understanding of Egyptian polytheism and elaborates on his concept of the “Mosaic distinction,” which conceives an exclusive and emphatic Truth that sets religion apart from beliefs shunned as superstition, paganism, or heresy. Without a theory of polytheism, Assmann contends, any adequate understanding of monotheism is impossible.

Download or read book Who Is God? written by Alva Goossen and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing the One True God. There is a great debate among the many religions of the world about the identity of God. Who among all the proclaimed deities in the world really is God? If any religion claims that their deity is the one true God, then by necessity, all the others must be pseudo-Gods. The famous mathematician Blaise Pascal made the notable statement: "There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator...." How, then, can we as believers know that we are receiving the one true God? In this insightful and enlightening book, Dr. Alva F. Goossen brings his theological expertise to bear on this topic, examining whether there is evidence for one true God, and whether there is a definite word we can rely upon to answer that question. Drawing on academic experience as well as his calling to counsel people to receive Christ as their personal Savior, Dr. Goossen makes an eloquent case for every believer's ability to know, with confidence, the true identity of God.

Download or read book The One True God: The Savior of the World written by Frankyenh Pienh and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-10-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thoughtful and illuminating handbook, Frankyenh Pienh argues that before we can effectively evangelize people of other cultures and religions, we must first understand their worldview. It's difficult for people who come from a culture that worships demons or spirits and calls them gods to understand the great love of Almighty God. The enemy of the Creator has blinded the children of God, who are no longer able to recognize the true Father. The One True God simplifies the scriptures, making them more accessible and meaningful, so that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic position, can understand the true love of the Father who created us in His own image and likeness. Easy to read and filled with insightful guidance, The One True God will help people turn away from the darkness and toward the Kingdom of Light! I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied.

Book Synopsis Inference to the One True God by : Evan Minton
Download or read book Inference to the One True God written by Evan Minton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are so many religions in the world that it can be confusing for a spiritual seeker to figure out which, if any, are true. There are as many gods in mythology as there are people to believe in them. In fact, one of the common retorts from atheists when talking to Christians is "Why do you believe your God is real while thinking all these other gods are false?" In this book, Christian Apologist and blogger Evan Minton gives evidence for the existence of the God of The Bible, and shows why it's rational to believe the God of Christianity while disbelieving in all others. Mr. Minton argues for the biblical God, using arguments that draw from a wide range of disciplines such as science, philosophy, and history. This book is a must for any spiritual seeker.
Download or read book God's Double Agent written by Bob Fu and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tens of millions of Christians live in China today, many of them leading double lives or in hiding from a government that relentlessly persecutes them. Bob Fu, whom the Wall Street Journal called "The pastor of China's underground railroad," is fighting to protect his fellow believers from persecution, imprisonment, and even death. God's Double Agent is his fascinating and riveting story. Bob Fu is indeed God's double agent. By day Fu worked as a full-time lecturer in a communist school; by night he pastored a house church and led an underground Bible school. This can't-put-it-down book chronicles Fu's conversion to Christianity, his arrest and imprisonment for starting an illegal house church, his harrowing escape, and his subsequent rise to prominence in the United States as an advocate for his brethren. God's Double Agent will inspire readers even as it challenges them to boldly proclaim and live out their faith in a world that is at times indifferent, and at other times murderously hostile, to those who spread the gospel.

Download or read book The One True God written by Sylvan Bailey and published by Trilogy Christian Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BIBLE, IT IS EXPRESSED THAT THERE IS A LIVING, TRUE GOD. HOWEVER, FROM TIME TO TIME, INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE READ THE BIBLE CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, WHILST OTHERS CONCLUDE THAT THERE ARE TWO OR THREE GODS. WHEN YOU READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL BE GUIDED AS TO THE TRUTH OF THESE STATEMENTS. The Bible declares that there is one true and living God. This was supported by the scribes, one of Jesus' greatest critics, in Mark 12:32. Previously, Jesus answered the question posed to him in Mark 12:28 when the scribe asked what the first commandment was, and Jesus quoted the verse in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (AKJV), "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." It was this same God who created the universe inclusive of human beings. Adam sinned and lost favor with God. According to the virgin birth, God became man in Chris Jesus- Emanuel, God with us-(Matthew 1:23). Through grace by Christ Jesus, Adam's fallen race has been redeemed through Jesus' blood on the cross of Calvary.
