Animals as Seen Through God’S Eyes by Dwila R. Funk Pdf
Have you ever wondered what happens to your beloved pet when he or she dies? Will you ever be able to see him or her again in heaven? Or have you been plagued by the disturbing thought that animals are only here on earth for our enjoyment in this life but when they die, that is it for them, and they are gone forever? This haunted me for decades until I finally got up enough courage to seek out the truth for myself. I went to the word of God to conduct my own research. This book is the result of my quest to find the truth about how God really sees animals and His plan for them. I was astounded by the wealth of information that God shares in the Holy Bible regarding animals. The answers are there, hidden in His word. All anyone needs to do is look.

First, it is the only book that presents a vast array of spiritual principles in an elegant, engaging format that shows how all these concepts interact, how to weave them together into a cohesive worldview, and how to practically apply this spiritual wisdom to daily life. Second, its inventive format alternates illuminating comments with inspiring quotes that support, build upon, and flow into each other to convey penetrating insights into the meaning and purpose of life and the vastness of human potential.

This fine book is a refreshing departure from the preachy ideology of religious dogmatism. It reveals the richness, complexity, and meaning of everyday life, warts and all. Larry Dossey, MD, author of "The Power of Premonitions" In "Through God's Eyes," Phil Bolsta has assembled a Dream Team of spiritual wisdom. The book gathers together remarkable luminaries from every tradition-and non-tradition as well-and creatively organizes them into topical categories, like panelists in separate meeting rooms at a large conference; only these wise ones are available to readers any time they are needed. And we all need them. As we make our way along the spiritual path, with all its perplexities, complexities, mysteries, and ambiguities, these trusted companions can provide reliable, timeless guidance.

"Ask the animals" Job says, "and they will teach you; the birds of the air and they will tell you . . . who among you does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" From the humpback whale, who offers a glimpse into God's mystery; to the elephant, who models God's fiercely protective love and compassion; to the blackbird, who opens our eyes to the song of joy that sings through the cosmos, the animal kingdom is a treasure trove of images of our Creator. In this beautifully illustrated collection of essays, readers will find surprising connections and much food for thought. Ask the Animals is a wonderful resource for private devotion or group study.

Orinio Gregorio Opinaldo was born in Los Angeles and attended St.Agnes Elementary and High School of which he is still an active member of that community in fi nances, social justice and liturgy. He has been a teacher for fortyfour years for LAUSD and has taught all elementary grades and served as resource teacher in art, drama, math, writing and reading. He was chosen as outstanding teacher from the Mayors Offi ce when he taught at Fifty-Second Street Elementary (1964-1989), nominated for the Disney teacher award when he taught at Forty- Ninth Street Elementary (1989-2004) and selected as the 2008 Hero for Harmony Elementary School from LAUSD Board of Education. (2005-2008) After twenty years of teaching, he went to India to refl ect on his fi rst twenty years as a teacher and to plan for his next twenty during all of the 1983-84 school year. During the next twenty years, he spent six months in Botswana where he traveled to South Africa and Zimbabwe. After retiring, he set plans on what his next twenty years would be like in service to children and community. He is the patriarch of twenty-three members of his family of which eleven live with him. He has sixteen grandchildren, eight girls and eight boys and a long history of wonderful friends scattered throughout the world. His greatest asset is his openness as a life learner. He embraces new experiences and is always studying, reading and listening but mostly observing the nuances of his own mind so that he can grow toward total freedom as a vegan and a humanitarian.
This updated edition by one of the world's leading apologists presents a systematic, positive case for Christianity that reflects the latest work in the contemporary hard sciences and humanities. Brilliant and accessible.
The first Jew was a Gentile. Prior to Abraham, there were no Jews—there was no nation of Israel. Israel exists by the sovereign choice, plan, and action of God—the sovereign ruler of the universe. It deserves to be carefully acknowledged and recognised because of that origin—and more. No other nation has ever attracted the detailed care, protection, and specific purpose as has Israel. Through the Abrahamic Covenant, Israel was to become: 1. A great nation, deriving from Abraham. This was a personal blessing. 2. They would be given a land to possess—the land of Canaan. Beware of trifling with God’s determination here. 3. Through the descendants of Abraham, down to Christ, there would be an international blessing. This belated nation would become central to God’s purpose in order to determine the salvation destiny of the whole world. God warned: 3I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; Genesis 12:3. Nations that have failed to appreciate that statement, have learned to their own detriment., if they have tried to oppose Israel: they are opposing Israel’s God. Nations who have supported Israel, have benefited from the blessing of Israel’s God. Don’t mess with Israel! They are the Apple of God’s Eye!

The concept of the atonement is one of the defining doctrine of Christianity. Over the course of many centuries, theologians, church forefathers, philosophers and more have proposed a huge expanse of interpretations of Christ's sacrifice for humanity, each different to the next. In this ambitious study, Eleonore Stump uses the context of this history of interpretation to reconsider the doctrine afresh with philosophical care. Whatever exactly the atonement is, it is supposed to include a solution to the problems of the human condition, especially its guilt and shame. Stump canvasses the major interpretations of the doctrine, highlighting their shortcomings as an explanation for this solution. In their place, she argues for an interpretation that is both novel whilst still using traditional theology, including Anselm's well-known account of the doctrine. Atonement is a rich exploration of the doctrine and all that it covers: love, union, guilt, shame, forgiveness, retribution, punishment, shared attention, mind-reading, empathy, and various other issues in moral psychology and ethics.
Throughout the Bible, divine interaction with humanity is portrayed in almost embarrassingly human terms. He sees, hears, thinks, feels, runs, rides chariots, laughs, wields weapons, gives birth, and even repents. Many of these expressions, taken at face value, seem to run afoul of much classical theology, including divine simplicity, transcendence, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, and especially immutability. Traditionally, these texts have been seen as "accommodations" to human intellectual and moral limitations. That is, they were deemed as giving God a more approachable feel, but not as representing any "real" part of his character, being, or interaction with humanity. For example, references to God seeing or hearing are not deemed to represent real acts, as God already knows everything. However, this view is largely based on an Aristotelian conception of metaphors as rhetorical devices, not vehicles that carry any truth content. Since the 1970s, the understanding of how metaphors convey meaning has taken great strides. These advances can help unlock how divine action--often inadvertently flattened under theological presuppositions--functions within a text. This book aims to explore the biblical metaphor of divine sight and how current understandings of metaphorical function can enrich our reading of the text and its theology.
