"If it's a good thing...it's a God Thing" "If it's a bad thing...The devil's out to get me!" We use these phrases over and over again to describe the differences between men and women-and it works-mostly. However, the phrase "It's a God Thing" seems to be employed to explain every good turn of events that pops up in the Christian life. Too often, Christians can perpetuate false perceptions of God and His people by turning biblical principles (or even the words themselves) into trite clichés that lose their true relevance and application. Author Jim Dyet graciously but authoritatively debunks many such misunderstandings and, better yet, explains why it's important for us to understand them rightly.

The God You Thought You Knew by Alex McFarland Pdf
Popular Apologist Corrects the Record on What Christianity Is All About The Christianity our culture rejects may not be true Christianity at all. So many people today believe they have to be good to be accepted by God, or that the Bible is just a list of do's and don'ts, or that God is far away and unapproachable. Instead of providing "proofs" about God and the Bible, in this book Alex provides a reason to want to know Jesus. By sharing his own story of the loneliness and alienation of his youth, Alex taps in to universal fears of rejection and loneliness. We all seek acceptance and purpose--and there's only one solution. Learn how to be anchored in the Truth and security that comes through Christ.
Prime Thinker: Chronological Protocol of the Multiverse by Niranjan Pdf
We always wanted planet Earth to perform better, and we sent some higher paradigm shifts inside the third-dimensional world of that planet. We gave them the perfect hint about almost everything. Leonardo said, "Everything is connected to everything else." Tesla mentioned, "3, 6, 9 is the key to the universe." Einstein contemplated, "The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." Earthlings ignored our hint almost every time. *** A higher-dimensional species created a simulated universe to complete the chain of incidents that happened before. The level four parallel universe species grow aware of this simulation, and after Amanda's hypothesis on the Theory of Dimigliostasia, a civilization of Zatch planet explores four other equally advanced civilizations inside their galaxy. After the counterinsurgency conquest between five habitable worlds, Valmir realizes that higher-dimensional entities created a STAROLICTS (Subconscious Transformed Artificially Rooted Organic Legeme Implemented Cerebral Tran-manifested System) program to create their interferences inside different levels of the universe, and by uniting them, he develops an Omega Field Generator that can maneuver two cosmic strings to discover disputed enigmas like: Who is the creator of this universe? What happens after death? How can a human imagine? If this universe is a simulation, then who decides what we are? Who are we, and what will we become?

The Illusion of "Truth" is a multifaceted look at Jesus of Nazareth, his message and religions created, not from his insights into reality, but on fantasy and lore concocted about him. Tom Nehrer builds on scholarly research through personal level of consciousness, exposing myths to find the real Yeshua who trod dusty roadways of first-century Judea. Understanding Jesus’ “Kingdom of Heaven within” requires extensive perspective. This book explores: Historical, social, political and traditional settings for Jesus appearance; The mindset of ancients – how superstitious peasants imagined divine manipulation; Modern man’s mindset – how causality is projected not only onto gods, but onto real world forces, luck, chance and fate, all illusory processes; How life really works – metaphysical connection of Self to Reality, an inner-outer flow; How beliefs create illusions – masking Reality’s flow with shared notions of “Truth” which isn’t.; Many caveats to accepting Gospel accounts as reliable reports of any substance; The real life of Jesus – how the man grew from first-century Jewish thinking to fully visionary status, aware of the Self as driving force in life; The Parables whose rich stories reveal Jesus’ awareness of the functional Oneness of Consciousness/Reality; A deeply critical look at Christianity – its early growth, smothering of alternate explanations and claims to represent true traditions back through the apostles to Jesus. That claim is shown as bogus, when Gospel writers only show apostles as unable to grasp Jesus’ Kingdom illustrations. The Illusion of “Truth” reveals not only how life works and how Jesus was fully aware of its meaning-based flow – but how Christianity grew from ancient notions and layered myth about Jesus, rather than insights from him.
Urban Legends of the New Testament by David A. Croteau Pdf
Urban Legends of the New Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the New Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the Greek language. For each New Testament text, professor David Croteau describes the popular, incorrect interpretation and then carefully interprets the passage within its literary and historical context. Careful attention is given to sound principles of biblical interpretation to guide readers through the process and reach a more accurate understanding of each text’s meaning. With examples from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, Urban Legends of the New Testament will not only help readers avoid missteps in these forty texts but also provide a model for engaging in correct interpretation of other New Testament passages.

If you have ever asked any of these questions on your journey of faith then this is a book that will unveil 70 of these kinds of questions to help you on your path to maturity.
When bestselling author Joyce Meyer posted "God's not mad at you" on Facebook, she didn't anticipate that her words would trigger thousands of responses of gratitude and relief. Apparently many Christians struggle to reconcile their perception of God as both a loving parent and a stern judge. In GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU, Joyce will help those who haven't truly received God's love because they are afraid of His anger and disapproval. She explores the source of this confusion, so His genuine character can be better understood and His love can be experienced on an entirely new level. Chapter titles include: * Perfectionism and Approval * The Pain of Rejection * Guilt and Shame * Developing Your Potential * Run to God, Not from Him * Getting Comfortable with God "It is important for us to remember that God's anger is directed toward our sinful behavior rather than toward us. If you feel guilty right now and are afraid that God is mad at you, then you are miserable. But your misery can be immediately changed to peace and joy by simply believing God's Word. Believe that God loves you and that He is ready to show you mercy and forgive you completely. Believe that God has a good plan for your life. Believe that God is not mad at you!" --Joyce Meyer
Thinking about God: Reflections on Conceptions and Misconceptions by Stephen M. Lampe Pdf
Dr. Stephen Lampe argues that to think about God is not a matter of religion. It is simply to follow the natural yearning that is implanted in the human essence. Thus, the search for the right conception of God is everybody's duty. Dr. Lampe's original approach and explanations amount to a paradigm shift in the debate about God. He introduces knowledge that has been lacking in the numerous publications on the idea of God and discusses clearly and directly various conceptions and misconceptions of God, thereby providing unusually rich food for thought for believers as well as atheists. The book rouses the individual believer to re-examine the extent to which his or her faith has a sound basis. After reading this book academic philosophers and theologians will all have to rethink their approaches and arguments for or against the existence and the nature of God. And atheists will be particularly embarrassed at the all too obvious shallowness of their strongest arguments in the light of Stephen Lampe's elucidation. Stephen Lampe argues that to ask if a person believes in God is meaningless in the absence of a clear elaboration of the nature and attributes of God the questioner has in mind. And any response that does not specify the attributes is certainly trivial. It follows that nothing is gained from the general arguments about belief in God. Dr. Lampe shows convincingly that mystery and revelations are real; they are encountered in all endeavours including in scientific research. Stephen Lampe asks: How can we think rightly about the invisible God if we do not know what we are and why we exist on earth? He provides answers. Religions promote misconceptions of God in some of their doctrines and go against the true Will of God in some of their actions. Thereby, they provide ammunition and support for atheism. It is wrong to blame God for the sins committed by religions. God has no need for religions. Stephen Lampe discusses the idea of the Will of God as the mechanism by which God relates to all creatures. He describes and illustrates the Laws of Creation that manifest God's will and asserts that the Will of God is not a matter of religion. Believers generally agree that God is the Creator but without some basic knowledge of the scope and nature of God's Creation, the conception of God is unlikely to be correct. Dr. Lampe therefore presents an outline of Creation and Subsequent Creation in relation to the Realm of God. In the process, he shows that God, unlike every human being, is not spirit, and God is beyond Divine. Some scriptures present inconsistent ideas of the attributes and nature of God. To think aright about God, one must seek beyond traditional scriptures. God exercises His Omnipotence only in the light of His Perfection. It is wrong to think that everything is possible with God. God cannot contradict Himself and He cannot change the past. He can do only what conforms to his immutable laws. The book demonstrates that the Love of God and the Justice of God are inseparable, like two sides of the same coin and describes other attributes of God in the light of new knowledge. Examples: The Omniscience of God is about wisdom, not petty, earthly all-knowing and Omnipresence means that God is accessible from everywhere and that we cannot escape His reach but not that He is present everywhere. Formal praying is an attempt to connect oneself invisibly with the streams of power, which permeates all Creation and whose ultimate origin is God. Without connection, prayer has no effect. The book explains the idea of miracles and how it is that human beings alone, not God, are responsible for all the evils in the world. Stephen Lampe notes that science is ignorant of 95 percent of what even the physical universe consists. Therefore, it is unreasonable for science to pontificate about anything beyond the physical, such as God. Stephen Lampe is the author of The Christian and Reincarnation.
The system of theology known as Calvinism has been immensely influential for the past five hundred years, but it is often encountered negatively as a fatalistic belief system that confines human freedom and renders human action and choice irrelevant. Taking us beyond the caricatures, Michael Horton invites us to explore the teachings of Calvinism, also commonly known as Reformed theology, by showing us how it is biblical and God-centered, leading us to live our lives for the glory of God. Horton explores the historical roots of Calvinism, walking readers through the distinctive known as the “Five Points,” and encouraging us to consider its rich resources for faith and practice in the 21st Century. As a companion to Roger Olson’s Against Calvinism, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.
Urban Legends of Theology by Michael E. Wittmer Pdf
Urban Legends of Theology surveys 40 of the most common misunderstandings of Christian doctrine. Some of the urban legends are cultural truisms that turn out not to be true; others are misconceptions of what the Bible and Christian tradition actually teach. Author and theologian Michael Wittmer writes in an engaging and incisive manner, probing beliefs nearly every churchgoer has heard at one time or another, such as: The Bible is our only authority All sin is the same before God God won’t give you more than you can handle Christianity is not a religion; it’s a relationship We are the hands and feet of Jesus Urban Legends of Theology corrects these misconceptions and offers a better alternative in each one’s place, guiding readers into the full riches and freedom of Christian theology rightly understood.
It all begins with His Name. Every man and woman of significance in the Bible had a Hebrew name that revealed his or her character. So what was the meaning behind the Messiah's name, Jesus? The name "Jesus" has no meaning. It was little more than a poor transliteration of His real Name, Yeshua, or Yahshua, from Hebrew into Greek. The Name "Yahshua" meant "salvation from Yah" (Hebrew contracted Name for "God") and this was what was conveyed to Joseph by an angel: "You shall call His Name, 'Yahshua, ' for it is He who will save His people from their sins." (Mt.1:21). This book goes on to explain how Yahshua's Life and His Teachings were prophetically designed to include His warning to the group of Believers who would someday call themselves "Christians." Yahshua was sent by His Father in heaven, the same God who "declared the end from the beginning" (Is.46:10) and so His Life was not simply in planning for His Death on a tree, but to show us how to be salt and lights upon the earth. What's more, Yahshua, claimed that Moses spoke of Him, and that He was integrally part of the Torah. Where do we find Him there? This book will reveal this and far more teachings that you will not hear from pulpits, including the three harvests that we are to celebrate each year, and what groups of people each represent. How the Messiah is seen in each of these harvests and feasts as His Life and death filled these full of meaning. Finally, this book is designed to do more than be informative; rather, it throws out the gauntlet to change your life! Do you want to find your purpose? Do you fear you are not really and truly "saved?" Do you want to know what your Creator expects of you? Do you want more in your life than simply an understanding of the church's "plan of salvation?" Finally, do you wish your love for your Savior, Yahshua could grow? Then you need to learn more about Him and what He desires of you. But, it all begins with calling Him by His correct Name.
