In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us … (John 1: 1, 14) Very few Christians actually comprehend the depth of meaning contained within this text of Scripture. When John wrote that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, he was saying much more than most of us have any idea. In this thorough yet easy-to-understand study, Isaac Dargan demonstrates that Jesus Christ truly is the Word made flesh, through the examination of the Brazen Alter – the first of six items of furniture contained within ...

Consider this: Are we the chosen generation, witnessing the world’s end? Could we be on the verge of eternity's dawn? How much more can society deteriorate before the return of Jesus Christ? Has the gospel truly reached every corner of the world? These questions, urgent and compelling, drive me to prepare for the soon return of Jesus Christ. The more I study Scripture and watch current events unfold, the more I realize how closer we are to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We may be the generation that sees all these things come to pass. And since I believe we could be just moments away ...

Jesus in Space and Time is a profound, ground-breaking examination of the life of Jesus. There is no other book quite like it! It explores some mind-boggling but rarely discussed implications of the event we have come to refer to as the “incarnation”; the physical embodiment of God when he temporarily and personally visited our planet. It digs down into the mystery of God becoming a human being and dwelling among us in our limited form. Jesus in Space and Time examines Bible stories that are familiar to many and looks behind them and underneath them to explore the truly astounding ...

LA TEOLOGÍA DEL PACTO SE ENCUENTRA EN LA MÉDULA MISMA DE LA IDENTIDAD BAUTISTA La Teología del Pacto por muchos años ha sido asociada exclusivamente a círculos presbiterianos. Esto está cambiando. Cada vez hay más Bautistas conscientes de la preciosa herencia histórica que tienen y su lugar en el desarrollo de la tradición reformada. El mito de “una sola tradición reformada” está siendo dejado de lado para apreciar la unidad y diversidad histórica dentro de la tradición reformada. Sin embargo, aún muchos Bautistas, especialmente en Latinoamérica, desconocen que hasta hace...

La traducción al latín de la obra de Maimónides "Moreh Nevukhim" (Guía para Perplejos) es considerada la obra judía más influyente de los últimos milenios. Marcó el inicio de la escolástica, un movimiento nutrido por pensadores judíos. Impresa por la primera imprenta mecánica de Gutenberg, su influencia se extendió hasta el Quinto Concilio de Letrán (1512-1517), donde se instó a los eruditos a reconciliar la teología y la filosofía. La Guía revolucionó el currículo escolar al reintegrar las leyes del pensamiento en el ámbito de la fe, influyendo en el principio de razón suficiente de Leibniz.

Alexandria was famous for its many schools long before Christianity became established in the city. By far the largest school was the "Museum," founded by Ptolemy and destined to become the most renowned school in the East. Other celebrated institutions were the "Serapeum" and the "Sebastion." Each of these three schools possessed its own enormous library. St. Jerome records that St. Mark himself founded the Christian School of Alexandria . The Holy Spirit inspired him to establish the school in order to teach Christianity since this was the only way to provide the new religion a solid ...

God's Benefit: Healing looks at what the Bible has to say about the subject of divine healing. No more wondering. No more guessing. You'll learn how God Himself answers the above questions and others concerning this very important topic.

In the beginning, those three words are the unmistakable foundation for our worldview, whatever that view may be. We can all agree that there was a beginning. What did it look like? How did it happen? Who or what made it happen? The Bible answers all of these questions.

In a series of probing, challenging, and uncommon dialogues, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, one that rejects both organized religion and atheism.

This little audiobook was first designed as a handout to inform all of the simplicity of God's requirements for being allowed to enter a promised land beyond our wildest dreams. Satan would like us to believe that the requirements are far too hard and complicated for anyone - but I'm here to tell you, that's a lie. So I challenge you to investigate for yourself, because it really is time to think. Use the good common sense God gave you. If you do that, you'll be amazed - asking yourself why you hadn't realized this before.

This little book was especially designed for those of you that somehow became discouraged with church, enough to fall off the wagon. So whatever your story is, I'll be the first to sympathize because I was once there myself. But the journey back has implanted a picture of God within me that no one will ever take from me. The most important thing I had to learn was what it really means to love God. Because most of us being raised in church were told from childhood that we were to love Jesus because of what he did for us. Of course, that might be fine for a child, but for us adults, it really should be more than an obligation type of relationship.

An eighteenth century Scottish poet wrote concerning war: "Rash, fruitless war, from wanton glory waged, is only splendid murder." An older preacher used this quotation when he wrote concerning a particularly brutal doctrinal attack on another elderly preacher by a group of younger, treacherous preachers. While many controversies among Christians and churches aren't this vicious, many Christians and congregations simply don't know how to navigate personal and doctrinal clashes; and thus, do more harm than good. Such situations expose some noble and naïve souls to some pretty treacherous ...

When will Jesus return? Are there signs in the Bible that tell us? There are hundreds of books written about prophecy and the signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time. There are many Bible prophecies that have come true and many more that will come true. God has given us...

Quite simply, three of the most important and well-known confessions of the Reformed faith. The Augsburg Confession is the earliest of the three and is the primary confession of the Lutheran Church. The Heidelberg Catechism was a response written by Zacharias Ursinus and consists of 129 questions and answers. The Westminster Confession is the best known and begins with "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever."

True Christians have been persecuted throughout the Church Age, and in some parts of the world continue in great trials. But the Savior is always there providing comfort and strength. No marvel, for Christ warned his followers that this would happen. Here, in Martyr of the Catacombs, we get a glimpse of the heinous persecutions in Ancient Rome and look inside the lives of those Christians whose very lives depended upon the place of refuge beneath the city of Rome.

Indulgences are one of the great misunderstood mercy's available to us from God. Unlocking Indulgences is a doctrinal work on indulgences. It follows closely the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC, 1999), and various papal documents on the subject. This book has received an imprimatur (March 2019) from the Catholic Church. “Indulgences opens a special door to this treasury for all the faithful.” (Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants, USCCB) “It is a sensitive ...

Fear and Trembling is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard, published in 1843 under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio (John of the Silence). The title refers to a line from the book Philippians 2:12, "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling" which in its turn may be a reference to Psalm 55:5, "Fear and trembling came upon me..." Kierkegaard wanted to understand the feeling that must have arisen in Abraham when God tested him with the sacrifice of Isaac.

In 1520, Martin Luther debated Catholic theologian Johann Eck in Leipzig - and lost. After the debate, the pope threatened Luther with excommunication. He responded by writing this address to the German nobility, urging them to consider his reforms for the church. He argues that the Catholic church abuses undue power, and asks, “If we rightly hang thieves and behead robbers, why do we leave the greed of Rome unpunished?”
