The Mysteries of Righteousness by Walter T. Wilson Pdf
As the Christian church moved from its inception in an Eastern/Oriental culture westward across Asia Minor (Turkey) into Greco-Roman culture with primarily a Western philosophy, theology, and values, Jesus' message and Paul's teachings began to be interpreted according to those cultural norms. While Paul kept calling his churches back to their Jewish roots and Eastern values, the Jewish voice was lost when the Jerusalem church dispersed as Israel fell during the Jewish Revolt of 66-73 AD. The temple was destroyed, its clergy silenced, and Judaism seemed irrelevant to the growing Christian church. The church had become primarily Gentile in theology and philosophy and its Hebrew foundation was largely forgotten and lost. In Beyond Christian Folk Religion, Beckstrom, brings the reader back to Jesus' roots (Romans 11:17-23) and to the core of Paul's message.

This true first edition, first printing, book solves the 1st John 1:8, 1st John 3:9 mystery in the Bible. How can both of these verses be true? How did author Richard M. Evans' quest to find answers to perplexing questions about difficult Bible verses lead to so many liberating answers, surprisingly including how to lose over 50 pounds? Who knew that correct theology could be a powerful aid to weight loss? In researching why so many Bible verses from ancient Israel are doubled, unexpectedly, the author also discovered how to avoid feeling that he did not measure up to other's expectations, or that he was a disappointment to others. In his quest to find why so many New Testament verses are doubled, how did he also find that he never was a disappointment to God? In an unexpected twist, why does the author also tell us how he loves the song "Flawless" by contemporary Christian music group MercyMe, but asks for a tiny change to one line in the lyrics? For examples of the "doubled" verses that the author examines, why did Abram / Abraham tell his wife Sarai / Sarah to say she was his sister, TWICE? Why does Paul say he is not perfect, and then 3 verses later say he is perfect? Why does 1 John 1:8 say the truth is not in you if you say you have no sin, but 1 John 3:9 says that everyone born of God does not sin? Why do each of these last two verses have a companion verse? (First Jn. 1:10 and First Jn. 3:6) Why are people who did hideous things, such as Lot and David, called blameless and righteous? If people who have done terrible things have been called blameless by God, can we also be called blameless? Author Richard M. Evans shows God's answers to all of these questions and many more in this groundbreaking and liberating book, by pointing to clear teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and to many Old and New Testament Scriptures. He shows how the answers to these questions act as a double breastplate, as it is called in Ephesians 6:14, for those who are in a spiritual battle with powerful forces of darkness. He shows that every person is deeply loved by God, and that every Christian is treasured by God far more than we can imagine. Double Armor shows that God has made every Christian blameless and righteous, and shows how Jesus longs to make us powerful prayer warriors using His own righteousness. All of these things are illumined by verses like 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Ps. 32:2, and we are told how Jesus can make us overcoming victors against powerful fortresses and spiritual forces that are set up against us. In addition to these powerful results of God's clear teaching, He also shows us how to be freed from thoughts of doubt or suicide. All of us need these truths from the Lord, and we all know others who need them. Find these insights from the true Word of God for yourself and for the people who you dearly love. Richard Evans received his B.A. degree in Biblical Studies and Theology, with a Minor in Greek, from Bethel College (now University) in St. Paul, MN, and his M.Div. degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX. He is an ordained pastor, and served as a pastor in Minnesota and Wisconsin churches. He has been the Director of the Southwest Dallas / Duncanville Reasonable Faith apologetics chapter since 2015, where he continues to serve. He is also a Bible teacher and Sunday School teacher in his local church. He is married to his dear wife Lorna. They have two dearly loved married children, and 4 beloved grandchildren, so far.The last page of Double Armor is a photograph of the author's father, Colonel Ivor Parry Evans, ex-base commander of the Air Force base at Roswell, New Mexico, shaking hands with Major General Douglas Nelson, ex-commander of Area 51. No one else has this photo. The topic of the author's next non-fiction book is the real truth about Roswell and Area 51, and this photo will be on the cover. Watch for it in the Fall or early Winter of 2020.
The Measurement of Righteousness by Elder Albert K. Chepaka Pdf
The author of The Measurement of Righteousness uses secular educational measurement and evaluation methods to illustrate the measurability of the spiritual state of man’s life through the performance of physical lifestyles and activities. The book scores and evaluates man’s activities in different perspectives: • Through physical activities of good and bad deeds • Through spiritual (faith-based practices) that determine their respective destinations, either Heaven (a place of bliss) or Hell (a place of torment), as illustrated on the front cover It also examines categories of men, their characteristics, and background types by inclination of godliness or devilishness. Man is viewed as being weighed on God’s word in relation to his obedience, believing that all about man’s sufferings in this world emanates from his disobedience to God’s word. Its consequent effect caused man the loss of his “paradise” known as the Garden of Eden. The book concludes by enjoining man “the wicked” to repent and be righteous. It also calls on believers to examine themselves and retrace their steps to be on the high side in righteousness on God’s scale to obtain eternal life in God’s kingdom on the day of judgment, after rapture of the “church” (believers or saints).

Removing the Mysteries of Christianity by Tony Murray Pdf
God has always been the same. Though people change, human nature remains the same from the time of Adam and Eve. Forces, that include angels and evil spirits, have been in existence for ages and have built barriers between God and His creation. Scripture explains much of the associated mysterious evidence that has been uncovered by science. God's plan is to reconcile to Himself as many as would be willing. He revealed and confirmed this plan (and continues to do so), by the work of His Spirit, through the lives of many. This plan is framed and executed by love. In order to participate in God's plan, exposure to this largely misunderstood love is required. Since the plan is communicated through imperfect people, it is often misunderstood and rejected. This book is for assisting God's people to obtain an improved understanding of both His love and His plan. TONY MURRAY Raised in denominational churches, the author helped start and served for years as assistant pastor in non-denominational churches in Ohio. He then served as pastor for a period of time. For over twenty years he worked in the training profession while observing the reactions and tendencies of people as they dealt with various circumstances. He recognized, first in himself but in others also, that these reactions and tendencies varied very little regardless of someone's abandonment to a church, person or cause. He sees that, while it is a decent gesture to commit to one's concept of Christianity, Christ often is not served. Misconceptions about God abound. He resolved to stress that the responsibility of the Christian is to abandon themselves completely to the person and teaching of Christ Jesus. Anything less will result in falling short of impacting the world the way that God desires.
Salvation for the Righteous Revealed by Ed Condra Pdf
Why is there such an ethical emphasis in Jesus’ gospel proclamation? This work finds the answer in Jesus meeting his audience within their own conceptual realms and then expanding those realms to point to the nature of his salvation. The bulk of this work investigates the soteriology of Second Temple Judaism, especially of the Qumran Scrolls. The apocalyptic lesson was the demand of a greater covenantal obedience, held in tension with God’s grace, a demand met through sectarian revelation and involving a somewhat diverse messianism. Within these conceptions, Jesus affirms that salvation is indeed for the “righteous,” but as defined through himself as the unique Messiah. This work is particularly useful regarding the Jesus—Paul debate, for it provides a diachronic solution grounded in the cultural-historical milieu of the times.
God, Grace, and Righteousness in Wisdom of Solomon and Paul's Letter to the Romans by Jonathan A. Linebaugh Pdf
In God, Grace, and Righteousness in Wisdom of Solomon and Paul's Letter to the Romans, Jonathan A. Linebaugh places the Wisdom of Solomon and the Letter to the Romans in conversation. Both texts discuss the relationship of Jew and Gentile, the meaning of God's grace and righteousness, and offer readings of Israel's scripture. These shared themes provide talking-points, initiating a dialogue on anthropology, soteriology, and hermeneutics. By listening in on this conversation, Linebaugh demonstrates that while these texts have much in common, the theologies they articulate are ultimately incommensurable because they think from different events - Wisdom from the pre-creational order crafted by Sophia and exemplified in the Exodus; Paul from the incongruous gift of Christ which justifies the ungodly.
Advocates of the New Perspective on Paul appeal to the view that "righteousness" in biblical theology is a Verhaltnisbegriff (relational concept). This is the view that "righteousness" does not mean conformity to a norm, nor is it an essentially legal concept; rather, "righteousness" denotes the fulfillment of the demands of a relationship, since the relationship itself is the norm. This relational interpretation of "righteousness" was first put forward by Hermann Cremer in 1899 and exercised a profound influence in biblical scholarship throughout the 20th century. It lies at the root of the New Perspective claim that "the righteousness of God" in Paul is a cipher for God's saving faithfulness to his covenant, a view defended by N. T. Wright, among others. Charles Lee Irons provides a critical examination of Cremer's chief arguments for the relational, covenant-faithfulness interpretation. The author argues instead for the view that "the righteousness of God" in Rom 1:17; 3: 21-22; 10:3; 2 Cor 5:21; and Phil 3:9 is the status of righteousness that comes from God as a gift.

The Tension Between God as Righteous Judge and as Merciful in Early Judaism by Barry D. Smith Pdf
In recent years, the scholarly consensus has emerged that early Judaism should no longer be classified as a religion of legalistic works on righteousness, but rather defined primarily by God's covenant with Israel. In this work, it is argued, instead, that there is actually a tension in early Judaism between God as righteous judge and as merciful. As E. Sj berg maintained in his Gott und S nder im pal stinischen Judentum, in the sources used for a reconstruction of early Judaism, there are two mutually exclusive ways in which God is said to relate to human beings. First, God as righteous judge deals with human beings as they deserve. They are assumed to be morally free and responsible, and God judges and recompenses them in history and eschatologically. Not only are the wicked punished for their sins, but the righteous are also rewarded for their obedience. And second, God as merciful does not deal with human beings as they deserve. Rather, he removes the guilt resulting from disobedience to the Law, sometimes on the simple condition of repentance. This means that a person can escape the consequences of disobedience. The understanding of God in the sources vacillates between God as righteous judge and God as merciful, without coming down definitively on one side to the exclusion of the other.
