Slaves of the Son of Heaven by Roy Hamilton Whitecross Pdf
Roy Whitecross served as a Private in the 8th Division AIF from 1941 to 1945; a journey that saw him incarcerated as a Japanese POW first in Malaya, then Burma, Thailand and Japan. He worked on the infamous Burma-Thailand Railway, a project that saw one man die out of every two who worked on it; he endured deprivation, starvation, disease, torture and brutality - but he did not endure it alone. SLAVES OF THE SON OF HEAVEN is a gripping story of triumph, defeat, hope and defiance and a fitting memorial to those ordinary soldiers who never returned home. It is also a testament to the fact that in the midst of hell, hope can survive.

The Slave Bible was published in 1807. It was commissioned on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves in England. The Bible was to be used by missionaries and slave owners to teach slaves about the Christian faith and to evangelize slaves. The Bible was used to teach some slaves to read, but the goal first and foremost was to tend to the spiritual needs of the slaves in the way the missionaries and slave owners saw fit.
Onesimus, the Run-Away Slave by Ernest A. Jones SR Pdf
The main characters in this story come from the Bible. I have taken a little known man, Omnesimus, and formed a uplifting, high moral story. He is only heard of in the new testament books of Philemon and Colossions. The Apostle Paul, who wrote Philemon sent this letter to Philemon to help him show mercy to this run-away slave. This is a story that the young will enjoy! It has excitement, drama and love but without language that would offend anyone. I have gleamed information from encyclopedias and from the Internet concerning the area in which this story takes place, gaining information about the climate, agriculture and terrain of the land, trying to make the storys setting accurate while still folding a fictitious story around the main character. I have also talked to a person who has lived in the area my story takes place, and gained information here too. The first few pages start with Omnes childhood in what is now Turkey. Then as a strong, husky youth he is taken by raiders. He is treated, harshly, as a slave and for several months lives in the filthy camps of those who stole him. Here he is befriended by another slave, a lad about his own age, who tells him about the God in Heaven. This boy tells Omne that the gods of silver and wood are worthless! After many months Omne is taken away from this camp and sold as a slave to a man who treats his slaves well. This man had been visited by one of the men who help Paul and he believed in Christ too! One day while Omne is working his team of oxen in a field near the river, he rescues his masters young son from drowning. This feat he did even though he had never learned to swim and this act nearly takes the life of this helpful slave. As a reward for the valiant act Omne is given Martha, a most lovely and sweet young lady, for his wife. With the passing of time children are born into this couples home. Omne and his family are treated almost like children of the masters household. Omne is respected by his master and the other slaves whom he is now boss over. All goes well until Omnes eldest son dies and Omne cant accept his death. He grows very despondent, and blames God for his sons death. Feeling that all hope is gone he steals from his master and leaves his beloved wife and children. He tries to run away from God but in the process finds that God is ever with him even through 2 robberies and beatings that nearly kill him while traveling clear to Rome. In Rome he meets Paul, who along with Luke and several others applies soothing balm to his battered body and coaxes life back into his body once again. At last Omne is able to forget the past, accept his LORD again and full of hope and love returns to his family and to his master. Paul wrote a letter and sent it with Tychicus, one of his trusted workers, to be given to Omnes master. The two men then return to Omnes master. Though willing to forgive his slave Philemon still puts him through 90 grueling days of hard labor before once again taking him back as a trusted slave; but not really as a slave but as a son! The freedom he has longed for so much for so long is finally his!
According to Hebrews, the Son of God appeared to "break the power of him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." What does it mean to be enslaved, all our lives, to the fear of death? And why is this fear described as "the power of the devil"? And most importantly, how are we--as individuals and as faith communities--to be set free from this slavery to death?In another creative interdisciplinary fusion, Richard Beck blends Eastern Orthodox perspectives, biblical text, existential psychology, and contemporary theology to describe our slavery to the fear of death, a slavery rooted in the basic anxieties of self-preservation and the neurotic anxieties at the root of our self-esteem. Driven by anxiety--enslaved to the fear of death--we are revealed to be morally and spiritually vulnerable as "the sting of death is sin." Beck argues that in the face of this predicament, resurrection is experienced as liberation from the slavery of death in the martyrological, eccentric, cruciform, and communal capacity to overcome fear in living fully and sacrificially for others.
A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS... Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up! In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way. What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word: SLAVE “We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.” Endorsements: "Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul "Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC
