Are certain people predestined to come to Christ? Or are we free to choose? Are you confused by the tenets of Calvinism and Arminianism? Calvinism says God predestined certain people to faith and salvation and others to unbelief and condemnation. Arminianism, which espouses "free will," says all have the ability to accept or reject Christ as the Son of God. In this fascinating, in-depth study of this often-debated topic, author Craig A. Reid presents what the Bible says about the doctrines of predestination, free will, election, foreknowledge, the power of the new covenant, and how all who believe are the chosen and elect of God, as well as the emphasis the Bible places on the word all. Through this thorough look at relevant scriptures and insightful analysis on all aspects of salvation, readers will have a better understanding of God, his power, and his great love for us.

An uneasy spiritual sense has gripped many Christians; a profound sense that something is incomplete and disconnected within the body of church teaching; something elemental to our raison d'etre.

Warning! Warning! Warning!Major changes are imminent at the door. This is not a drill. Don't poke your head in the sand.Urgent preparation is required for the soon-coming tribulation transition. Souls who are lost should trust the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christians should draw closer to God.During this time of trouble, the human life span will increase, but this will be offset by cataclysmic disasters and torment. War, multiple massive earthquakes and huge volcano explosions, poisoning of vast water supplies, darkness, drought, and oppressive heat shall be overwhelming.God's wrath produces a substantive reconstruction of earth but causes the level of comfort to progressively deteriorate throughout these unknown number of years.Amid the death and destruction on earth, many grand and marvelous events transpire in heaven.When this transition period ends, it ushers in a veritable utopia on earth for about one thousand years.Also presented is the concept every church leader needs to know: Stewards continue on earth several years after the Church is completed and taken to heaven.Pastors, deacons, teachers, song leaders may be left behind, not because they are lost souls but to witness for the Savior through much of the tribulation period.And Stewards are not taken out with the Church because their group has not run its course. The finale of their forming will be about six and a half years after the beginning of the tribulation.Herein is a step-by-step survey of events described in the book of Revelation, given in sequential order, and with possible times linked to many happenings.Knowledge of the time frame of events given in this book are imperative for navigating the treacherous terrain of the tribulation transition on route to glorious transformation and avoiding judgment.Kingdoms of heaven are at hand!Repent!

Not a disclaimer: The views expressed in the 'content' of this book are not solely mine, yet I carefully chose the many quotes listed ...as there is so much in those words, and I want to pass on to you that which was preserved for all of us to potentially read. Having read it, and now sharing it ...it could be said that I am content with the 'content'. I say, "Content ...content ...content!!" It's similar to when people speak of real estate, and say, "Location ...location ...location!!" And I feel that is important for eternal consideration also.

In jüngster Zeit mehren sich die Anstrengungen, in der Rezeption post- und dekolonialer Theorien Gelerntes für das Nachdenken über Religion und Theologie fruchtbar zu machen - und sie lohnen sich: Theolog:innen aus dem globalen Süden liefern wichtige Impulse zur theologischen Reflexion und Dekonstruktion von Eurozentrismus, Macht und Selbstverständlichkeiten. Diese aufzunehmen, ist auch für die in Europa kontextualisierte Theologie ein Gewinn. Dies gilt umso mehr, wo sie als Selbstkritik notwendig ist, denn wenn Kirchen und Theologie Machtasymmetrien oder Rassismus kritisch hinterfragen, stellt sich die Anfrage an eigene Praxen umso dringender. Der Band versammelt Texte aus der Systematische Theologie, der Exegese, der Religionspädagogik und der Erziehungswissenschaft sowie der Christentumsgeschichte, ergänzt um wichtige Stimmen aus der kirchlichen Praxis und die der studentischen Perspektive der Initiative "Decolonize Theology".

Marx, Spinoza and Darwin presents a common thread in its argument: it shows how these authors-certainly with differences among themselves-consolidated a field of investigation that does not resort to transcendent or religious premises in approaching the phenomena they analyze. Thus, when Spinoza declared that the "e;will of God"e; is the "e;sanctuary of ignorance,"e; when Marx provocatively maintained that "e;criticism of religion is the premise of all criticism,"e; or when Darwin polemicized against a millennial creationist approach, all were taking a stand that invited us to view our world through a secular and immanent lens. In addition to this common thread, Martins discusses other issues present in the works of these thinkers, for instance the space that exists for human subjectivity from a Marxist perspective (which is not to be confused with philosophical "e;objectivism"e;): men and women are encouraged to act in the world. With this conceptual background, the concluding chapters of the book address the proliferation of some less examined Christian fundamentalisms in contemporary world, presenting an explanatory hypothesis for the phenomenon.

With few exceptions, the field of Eastern Christian studies has primarily been concerned with historical-critical analysis, hermeneutics, and sociology. For the most part it has not attempted to bring Eastern Christian philosophy into serious engagement with contemporary thought. This volume seeks to redress the matter by bringing the Eastern Christian tradition into a meaningful dialogue with contemporary philosophy. It boasts a diverse group of scholars-specialists in ancient philosophy, analytic philosophy, and continental philosophy-who engage with a wide range of pressing issues. Among other things, it addresses such topics as contemporary atheism, the metaphysics of action, religious epistemology, the philosophy of language, bioethics, the philosophy of race, and human rights. In so doing, it aims to introduce contemporary readers to unique perspectives and novel arguments often overlooked by mainstream anglophone philosophy.      

چرا اسلام و تفسیر قرآن

Bogen består af ti essays, der er forfattet over en periode på ti år. De omhandler analyser af tiden, film, forholdet mellem følelser og subjekt, natursynet, de teologiske og humanistiske fags situation på universitetet og kritikken af den lutherske teologi. Spørgsmålet om sammenhængskraft er et tema i alle essays.Tiden, der går, er en trussel mod sammenhængskraften, da den opløser helheder. Det viser, at sammenhængskraft dybest set er et metafysisk fænomen og ikke kun et socialt fænomen. Følelser er en trussel mod subjektets enhed, da de er overpersonlige magter, der bemægtiger sig os. Naturens sammenhæng er truet af den teknologiske udnyttelse af den, der ødelægger økosystemer. De teologiske og humanistiske fags enhed er truet af forskningsidealet, der dominerer på universitetet. Forskningsidealet virker fragmenterende på fagene, hvis grundlæggende berettigelse er at fremlægge helhedstolkninger. I teologien er billedet af Guds enhed truet af det forhold, at Gud er tvetydig i sit skaber­værk, der er både gavmildt og grusomt, mens Gud ifølge den kristne forkyndelse er entydig kærlighed.

Les trente problèmes explorent diverses questions, y compris l'existence d'un début du monde, la nature de la matière première, l'origine de la connaissance de la création de Moïse, l'universalité de cette connaissance, la durée de la création du monde, l'existence d'autres mondes avant le nôtre, l'émanation directe de Dieu, le nombre d'éléments nécessaires à la création, la création des âmes et des corps, la création du Paradis et de l'Enfer, l'existence du Purgatoire, la création des démons et des anges, la rondeur du ciel, la cause finale de la création du monde, et l'altérabilité du monde s'il est éternel. Ces problèmes invitent à de profondes réflexions sur la nature de l'existence et de la foi. Manassé Ben Israël, né à La Rochelle, France vers 1604 et enterré à Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, République néerlandaise en 1657, est connu pour avoir fondé la première imprimerie hébraïque à Amsterdam (Cardozo de Béthencourt, 1904; Levy, 1924; H.P. Solomon, 1983; Meinsma, 2006; S. Rauschenbach, 2019). À ses propres frais, il a auto-publié Trente Problèmes Concernant la Création (De Creatione Problemata XXX) depuis sa maison. Ce travail visait à restaurer la doctrine classique de la création et à aborder des questions philosophiques et théologiques complexes liées à la création du monde et à la foi. La présente édition est la première traduction de l'édition latine qui a été publiée en 1635, il y a près de 400 ans. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWaATAunh1o
