The Rapture Exposed by Barbara R. Rossing Pdf

The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.

Real Rapture Revealed by Mary Sullivan Pdf

"Real Rapture Revealed" is a Prophecy Book that is based solely on whatChrist Himself taught about THE RAPTURE - the timing of it and who Heintends to Rapture and who He will leave behind on the Final Day of Judgmentwhich according to His Word is about to take place soon. Truly - no otherGeneration has seen ALL of the SIGNS that Christ REVEALED to us in HisApocalyptic Discourse that would precede His 2nd Coming converging togetherat one time in History as this Apocalypse Generation has. And while mostProphecy Books are based on the False Eschatology of Man - the reason thatyou should read this Prophecy Book is because it is consistent with whatChrist Himself REVEALED to both Daniel and John in their visions concerningthese End-TimesUnlike any other Prophecy Book on the Market today - "Real Rapture Revealed"REVEALS from Heaven's Viewpoint and Christ's True Eschatology -- that we arenot only ALREADY in the prophesied time of the Great Tribulation that ChristHimself prophesied must occur as a prelude to His 2nd Coming - but that weare at the very END of it when Christ REVEALS the Rapture will take place.Not only does Christ REVEAL the correct Timing of the Rapture which is whatthis Prophecy Book is all about -- but if you are interested in what Christtaught about "THE ANTICHRIST" then this Book is definitely for you. For itREVEALS not only who Christ says "THE ANTICHRIST" is and what the infamous"MARK OF THE BEAST" means - but when he will step up on the stage of HumanHistory and where his City of "Babylon the Great" is located here on Earth. "Real Rapture Revealed" will also answer the very important question ofwhether or not it is part of Christ's DIVINE PLAN to Return to reign on theEarth for a 1000 years in an Age between this Present Age of Humanity andthe Age to Come in the New Heavens and the New Earth -- or whether theMillennial Kingdom of Christ began when Christ walked down the Banks of theJordan River and was Baptized by John. And it will hopefully put to restonce and for all whether Christ's Salvation Plan was FINISHED at the Crossor if it will be finished yet in the Future. It does this by addressingwhether the reason for Christ's 2nd Coming is to CONSUMMATE His Kingdom ofHeaven or to inaugurate His Millennial Kingdom reign for a 1000 years in thenear Future reigning from a rebuilt 3rd Temple in the City of Jerusalem.And most importantly it will not only REVEAL where we are today on Christ'sProphetic Timeline - but it will also answer where "the Ark of the Covenant"is and when Christ prophesied it will be REVEALED to all who have ever livedand what Christ REVEALED to John about the New Heavens and the New Earth inthe Age to Come.CLEARLY -- ALL of the questions anyone has ever asked about these End-Timescan be found in Christ's Unadulterated Word of TRUTH that Christ REVEALED toboth Daniel and John in their visions of these End-Times. And those visionsare what I have used in writing this Prophecy Book that will REVEAL whatChrist's True Eschatology is about THE RAPTURE and His 2nd Coming which isthe only Eschatology that will be fulfilled because it is the onlyEschatology that is the Truth and the reason why you should read "RealRapture Revealed."

The Blessed Hope by George Eldon Ladd Pdf

Jesus Christ is coming again! That is the Blessed Hope which has since the earliest days of the Church energized Biblical Christians looking for the full revelation of God's redemption. The author sketches the history of interpretations of Christ's second coming and then carefully and lucidly examines the Biblical passages on which this doctrine is based. His conclusion is that the Blessed Hope is the second coming of Jesus Christ, not a pretribulation rapture that believers in a secret coming of Jesus. Yet he concludes that there should be liberty and charity within the Christian community for all who hold to the expectation of "the blessed hope and appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ."

Eve & Adam by Kristen E. Kvam,Linda S. Schearing,Valarie H. Ziegler Pdf

"The editors have performed a great service in making widely available a documentary history of the interpretation of the Eve and Adam story." —Publishers Weekly "This fascinating volume examines Genesis 1-3 and the different ways that Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpreters have used these passages to define and enforce gender roles. . . . a 'must' . . . " —Choice "Wonderful! A marvelous introduction to the ways in which the three major Western religious traditions are both like, and unlike one another." —Ellen Umansky, Fairfield University No other text has affected women in the western world as much as the story of Eve and Adam. This remarkable anthology surveys more than 2,000 years of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim commentary and debate on the biblical story that continues to raise fundamental questions about what it means to be a man or to be a woman. The selections range widely from early postbiblical interpretations in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha to the Qur'an, from Thomas Aquinas to medieval Jewish commentaries, from Christian texts to 19th-century antebellum slavery writings, and on to pieces written especially for this volume.

Can We Still Believe in the Rapture? by Mark Hitchcock,Ed Hindson Pdf

Christian Fiction... or Biblical Fact? Today, the hope that all believers on earth will be "caught up" to heaven is being challenged in new waves of criticism. Is the rapture really taught in the Bible? Can we really expect Jesus to gather up His followers before the Antichrist is revealed? In this well-reasoned and thorough defense, prophecy authors Mark Hitchcock and Ed Hindson examine the concept, context, and consequences of the important and long-expected event known as the rapture. Discover the answers to such questions as... What is the rapture—and is there any historical precedent for it? Why do some believers object to the idea of a rapture? Does the timing of the rapture really make a difference? As you explore what Scripture says about the end times, you'll get a grander glimpse of your glorious future and the deepest hope of every follower of Jesus.

The Big Lie, Exposed! by Thomas L. Copping Pdf

As early as the first century, the church believed there was a living church rapture. Let us note the language of Paul to the Corinthian church in 15:36: Thou fool, that which thou sowest [Greek word means to strengthen] is not quickened [Greek word means to reanimate conjointly with], except it die. Paul tells the Corinthians that the living church is strengthened by Holy Spirit [we shall be changed]. The dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible. This is one of many verses that prove the rapture theory is false theology. This is why I named this book The Big Lie, Exposed. This book exposes the false teaching of the Christian churches for the past two thousand years. I do this as instructed by Isaiah by putting precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little.

Reading Revelation Responsibly by Michael J. Gorman Pdf

This volume deals with the varied forms of shame reflected in biblical, theological, psychological and anthropological sources. Although traditional theology and church practice concentrate on providing forgiveness for shameful behavior, recent scholarship has discovered the crucial relevance of social shame evoked by mental status, adversity, slavery, abuse, illness, grief and defeat. Anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists have discovered that unresolved social shame is related to racial and social prejudice, to bullying, crime, genocide, narcissism, post-traumatic stress and other forms of toxic behavior. Eleven leaders in this research participated in a conference on The Shame Factor, sponsored by St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Lincoln, NE in October 2010. Their essays explore the impact and the transformation of shame in a variety of arenas, comprising in this volume a unique and innovative resource for contemporary religion, therapy, ethics, and social analysis.

Rapture Rupture by Nathanael Lewis Pdf

The immensely popular Left Behind novel and movie series, along with non-fiction books advocating the 'blessed hope' of the rapture are believed by many evangelicals to be the only truly biblical understanding of the end times.Tim LaHaye, co-author of the Left Behind series and leading spokesman for the 'pre-trib' movement touts a much-imitated chart of fiteen allegedly irrefutable proofs for that position. Here, in thorough but readable fashion, theologian Nathanael Lewis refutes each and every one.With special focus on Jewish background to the New Testament, among other things this book shows how: * Rabbi Paul's Jewish approach points directly to Jesus' teaching on the timing of the rapture* Jesus left no room for anything other than a 'post-tribulation' position* Dispensationalism and the 'pre-trib' teaching has become and idolatrous prism that distorts the word of God and will have deadly consequences for the church* The pre-trib deception will likely be a major factor in the last days 'great apostasy'* LaHaye and co, like the Pharisees, use the traditions of man to nullify the word of God, specifically the clear and consistent teaching of Jesus on the last days* LaHaye misrepresents the 'thief in the night' teachingRomans 11 is in direct opposition to dispensationalist teaching* LaHaye rips passages out of context, and on occasion essentially makes things up* LaHaye gets even the most basic facts wrong on Revelation 20* LaHaye abuses a passage that doesn't even refer to the Second Coming as foundational for rapture teaching* To be truly consitent, LaHaye must either support and anti-Christian Jehovah's Witness teaching or teach outright heresy about God to justify his interpretation of a key 'blessed hope' passageIn a series of useful appendixes and additional material, Nathanael goes on to show: * How and why Paul derived from the actual words and teaching of Jesus his doctrine that the dead will be raised before the living saints are transformed to meet Jesus* Why Jewish wedding practices do not at all support a pre-trib rapture position* What Jesus meant by 'pray that you might be able to stand before the Son of Man'* Why pre-trib teaching on 'not under wrath' is contrary to the true bible teaching* How a core component of pre-trib and dispensationalist doctrine was condemned by one of the first church leaders after the apostles as 'blasphemy against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'Nathanael Lewis has an MTheol (Hons) from St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university. In addition to writing on theology, he is a poet, composer & musician, and is active supporting Pakistani Christians.A mimumum of 6.25% of the sale price of this book will go to charities and NGOs, mainly those helping persecuted Pakistani and/or Middle Eastern Christian

The popular Left Behind series depicting the rapture of the Church and the rise of Antichrist has captured the imaginations of millions. This gripping, but fictional, story dramatizes a widely accepted view of Revelation's mysterious prophecies, and how earth's last days might be fulfilled. But could these bestsellers about missing people also be missing important Bible truths?

What's true about The Rapture? What's false? According to the author, when it comes to understanding God's truth, we cannot afford to be "left behind"!

Tales of the End by David L. Barr Pdf

The Book of Revelation presents the fascinating and terrifying story of what John reports happening to him while on the Mediterranean island of Patmos. It is a far more interesting story than the tired predictions of other would-be prophets whose many forecasts of the future have always failed to materialize. Tales of the End invites readers to hear John s story anew. Rather than forcing John s story into our time, it takes the reader back to the time of its original telling, exploring both what is told and how it is told examining its plot, characters, point of view, temporal perspective, narrator, listener, author and audience. Only then can we ask how this story bears on the modern world and how it addresses enduring human concerns. David Barr s narrative analysis uncovers a complex and compelling story addressed to the communities of Jesus followers in first-century Asia Minor, a story told vividly so that the audience can participate in John s extraordinary experience and so be transformed, adopting new values, new perspectives; indeed, a new understanding of what the world is really like.

Let the Nations be Glad by John Piper Pdf

'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.
