Jesus Christ Divided by Michael LaFond Pdf

This book will start with the earliest Christian textual evidence, the letters of Saint Paul, as a foundation to reveal surprising details in the history of the early Church that have been hidden in plain sight for almost two thousand years: (1.) that Saint Peter and Saint Paul became enemies; (2.) that according to some early Christians, Jesus was both the Messiah and the Antichrist, but not God nor the Son of God; (3.) that James, the brother of Jesus, rejected the original teaching of Jesus in order to further his own claim to be the Messiah; (4.) that the apostle Paul actually failed more than he succeeded during his lifetime; (5.) that Christians were instrumental in the First Jewish Revolt; and (6.) that Jesus did claim to be both the Son of God and God. The evidence is laid out logically in a new way. But the evidence is not new; it is on your shelf right now.

Is Christ Divided? by Dr. Felecia Rodgers Pdf

The church of the Bible is presented as a pattern of human life in marked contrast both to the values of secular society and to the restrictive outlook that characterizes many religious groups. The church is to be the manifestation of the biblical instruction to love God and neighbor. Is Christ Divided? takes a penetrating look at the identity of the local church. Is it comprised of believers with a passion to worship the God of Truth and live by His purpose, following His Holy Spirit that lives inside? Or is the church a group of individuals segregated by culture, class, economics and education, following the traditions of men? Is Christ Divided? urges the original and philosophical concept of the church advocated by the Word of God. Each chapter reveals biblical support for cooperation amongst the brethren; the local church and the para church. Containing critical research of Scripture and analysis of church history, this book will provide proof that both populations have existed since the beginning without distinction. The intent is to bridge the gap between denominations, associations, local churches, para church organizations, missions and ministries.

Christ Divided by Katie Walker Grimes Pdf

Bringing the wisdom of generations of black Catholics into conversation with contemporary scholarly accounts of racism, Christ Divided diagnoses ""antiblackness supremacy"" as a corporate vice that inhabits the body of Christ. To truly understand racial inequality, theologians must acknowledge the existence of ""antiblackness supremacy"" and recognize its uniquely foundational role in prevailing processes of racialization and racial hierarchy. In addition to introducing a new framework of racial analysis, this book proposes a new approach to virtue ethics. Because the church‘s participation in and performance of white supremacy occurs as a result of corporate habituation, the church most needs new habits, not new teachings. The theory of corporate virtue outlined here provides a framework through which to evaluate these habits and propose new ones-to be made to "do the right thing."

Is Christ Divided by Mark G Oliver Pdf

Is Christ Divided? This writing is a call for unity. It is not a call for un-challenged unity. Still it is a call to unity because this is how the Lord wanted his body (the church )to operate. Unity takes great effort. But it is well worth it! Satan our enemy has realized he cannot destroy the church but he hopes to weaken her mission by utilizing some of his cunning tactics. Ploys such as discouragement, un-forgiveness, spiritual apathy, laziness are strategies he use on a daily bases. One of his main tools is a age-old trick called divisiveness which he has carefully re-packaged as denominationalism. A common viewpoint might be stated: "We don't fellowship with those folks because they do not interpret or follow the 'Word' Correctly." So the church has learned to operate in a million different brands, with the expectation that we will all meet together one day in heaven. Sometimes seeming to admire one another but then at other times refusing to acknowledge one another or learn from each other or recognize the hand of God on other believers who we perceive as the misinformed. At times we Christians even seem to treat one another like rivals. My prayer is that you carefully consider the underlined thought of this book and consider whether God might say anything to you. Christ is not Divided. God bless you my fellow believer. Elder Mark G. Oliver is a licensed minister and has been studying the word of God since he was a young lad. Brought up in the church, a true "pew baby" in a strong denominational environment. He began fighting for his understanding of Christianity while he was but a pre-teen. Desiring to bring people to the truth he determined that he would affect a change in the Christian world view- his way. But then God stopped him in his tracks to reveal to him that "you need to understand much more about your faith- and about other believers." This lead him on a long journey of prayer, study and discovery. Which finally birthed in his spirit a writing "Is Christ Divided." "I still have a strong desire to see people receive salvation, but now hopefully, I am better equipped to share the message"

Seeing Christ in the New Testament by Stephen Kaung Pdf

The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith. It is God-breathed. It gives us the full knowledge of Him and of His Son. “This is the eternal life, that they should know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). God’s word gives us eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus. It makes us men and women of God. It is most profitable for our spiritual life, for it teaches us, convicts us, corrects us, and instructs us in righteousness. Thus, we are made complete and fully equipped to do God’s will. We are exhorted by our Lord himself to search the Scriptures for in them is the witness concerning Him (see John 5:37). A special blessing is given by God to those who read, hear and keep His word (see Revelation 1:3). The New Testament is composed of twenty-seven books. Each of these twenty-seven books reveals Christ to us in a special aspect of His fullness. Thus, we are able to know Christ in His fullness. In this volume, each book in the New Testament is briefly discussed, with special attention to seeing Christ in His fullness. It is not an exhaustive study, its purpose simply being to offer a taste of the sweet word of God so as to induce us to search His word more diligently. May He draw us deeper into His word so that we may be drawn deeper into Him.

The Insanity of Obedience by Nik Ripken Pdf

Wise Sheep Among the Wolves All Christian disciples have one thing in common: as they carry the gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their level of faith and obedience. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater. The Insanity of Obedience challenges Christians in the same, provocative way that Jesus did. This book dares you—and prepares you—to cross the street and the oceans with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus’ instructions sound uncomfortable and are potentially dangerous. We may be initially encouraged by His declaration, “I am sending you out.” But how are we to respond when He then tells us that He is sending us out “like sheep among wolves"? In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern day believers rest comfortably in the status quo? How can we embrace casual faith in light of the radical commands of Jesus which are anything but casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the most persecuted areas of the world to bear on our understanding of faith in Jesus. The Insanity of Obedience is a call to roll up your sleeves . . . and to follow and partner with Jesus in the toughest places on this planet. "We have the high privilege of answering Jesus’ call to go," Ripken says. "But let us be clear about this: we go on His terms, not ours. If we go at all, we go as sheep among wolves." Jesus gives us Himself. And He gives us the tools necessary for those who dare to journey with Him.
