Deceived by Dg Barker Pdf

The Truth about Christianity explores the irreconcilable differences between the Christian faith and those who challenge the Bible as a book of myths and fairy tales. Most people believe modern science has rendered belief in Scripture as ingenuousness. Christians vehemently fight that label. Pragmatically though, the truth can be determined using reason, logic, and indisputable science. Deceived uses these paradigms to guide to the inevitable conclusion about which worldview can be supported by the facts and not a person's own personal preconceptions, something everyone has, whether they wish to admit it or not. A person's bias and beliefs cloud judgment when subjected to another worldview. It is only through stringent analysis that a person can objectively weigh the evidence to see whether or not it passes the tests of reason, practice, and experience. Then and only then can the truth be known. After reading Deceived you will know whether or not your worldview is supported by the unadulterated facts.

Know the Truth by Bruce Milne Pdf

"You will know the truth," said Jesus, "and the truth will set you free." Christians have already begun to know God and his truth. This handbook assists in that liberating knowledge, as it opens up the great themes of God's Word and shows how they fit together. Each chapter deals with one aspect of biblical truth and encourages further study with Scripture references to look up, questions for discussion, and books for additional reading. The main sections conclude with practical reflection on how the Bible's teaching challenges us and moves us to adore the living God. This new edition of Bruce Milne's widely appreciated Know the Truth has been extensively revised and updated to ensure its ongoing relevance and value as an excellent introduction to Christian doctrine.

One Way, One Truth, One Life by Lorne W.P Vanderwoude Pdf

With so many doctrines in the Christian world today, finding the truth can be daunting. In this collection of personal meditations on several biblical doctrines, Lorne W.P. Vanderwoude seeks to reveal key themes shared by different doctrines, and in the process heal the church. He challenges readers to study the Bible for themselves and ask the Holy Spirit for direction, and reminds us that there is only one truth, one way, and one life—it comes through one person, Jesus Christ. Jesus can inspire people to grow their own faith rather than live the faith of others. One Way, One Truth, One Life invites readers of Christian and non-Christian faith who have the desire to join in the journey and hear the story of Christ.

Christianity, Truth, and Weakening Faith by Gianni Vattimo,René Girard Pdf

The debate over the place of religion in secular, democratic societies dominates philosophical and intellectual discourse. These arguments often polarize around simplistic reductions, making efforts at reconciliation impossible. Yet more rational stances do exist, positions that broker a peace between relativism and religion in people's public, private, and ethical lives. Christianity, Truth, and Weakening Faith advances just such a dialogue, featuring the collaboration of two major philosophers known for their progressive approach to this issue. Seeking unity over difference, Gianni Vattimo and René Girard turn to Max Weber, Eric Auerbach, and Marcel Gauchet, among others, in their exploration of truth and liberty, relativism and faith, and the tensions of a world filled with new forms of religiously inspired violence. Vattimo and Girard ultimately conclude that secularism and the involvement (or lack thereof) of religion in governance are, in essence, produced by Christianity. In other words, Christianity is "the religion of the exit from religion," and democracy, civil rights, the free market, and individual freedoms are all facilitated by Christian culture. Through an exchange that is both intimate and enlightening, Vattimo and Girard share their unparalleled insight into the relationships among religion, modernity, and the role of Christianity, especially as it exists in our multicultural world.

Saving Truth by Abdu Murray Pdf

Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name "post-truth" their word of the year in 2016. How can Christians offer truth and clarity to a world that shuns both? By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks. Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations apply to sexuality, identity, morality, and spirituality. For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the book offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.

Christianity: Opium or Truth by David Gooding,John Lennox Pdf

Is Christianity just a belief that dulls the pain of our existence with dreams that are beautiful but false? Or is it an accurate account of reality, our own condition and God’s attitude toward us? Gooding and Lennox address crucial issues that can make it difficult for thoughtful people to accept the Christian message. They answer those questions and show that clear thinking is not in conflict with personal faith in Jesus Christ.

The Real Truth About Church History by James Sharp Pdf

The Real Truth About Church History answers the following questions: Why is Christianity the way that it is today? And how did we go from one church to over 34,000 Christian denominations worldwide? This is a huge problem because the world has acknowledged this fact. And the fact is this: A church divided is no church at all. So in order to end the division in Christianity, we must all go back to the Bible and the past. It is time for all Christians to speak the same things that were spoken by Christ, the apostles, and the saints of old after the Apostolic Age. This book educates you on the hidden facts about primitive Christianity by covering the first 5 centuries of the history of the church. The things that the average Christian have not been taught have been brought out more clearly in this book. Also, this book shoots documented facts that cannot be refuted. Now, more than ever, there must be complete and utter unity in the body of Christ. We're living in the last days, so it's time for all Christians to speak the same thing by the Word of God.

The Truth about Conservative Christians by Andrew M. Greeley,Michael Hout Pdf

Ever since the reelection of President Bush, conservative Christians have been stereotyped in the popular media: Bible-thumping militants and anti-intellectual zealots determined to impose their convictions on such matters as evolution, school prayer, pornography, abortion, and homosexuality on the rest of us. But conservative Christians are not as fanatical or intractable as many people think, nor are they necessarily the monolithic voting block or political base that kept Bush in power. Andrew M. Greeley and Michael Hout's eye-opening book expertly conveys the complexity, variety, and sensibilities of conservative Christians, dispelling the myths that have long shrouded them in prejudice and political bias. For starters, Greeley and Hout reveal that class and income have trumped moral issues for these Americans more often than we realize: a dramatic majority of working-class and lower-class conservative Christians backed liberals such as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton during their runs for president. And when it comes to abortion, most conservative Christians are not consistently pro-life in the absolute fashion usually assumed: they are still more likely to oppose the practice than other Americans, but 86 percent of them are willing to tolerate it to protect the health of the mother or when the woman has been raped, and 22 percent of them are even pro-choice. What do conservative Christians really think about evolution, homosexuality, or even the meaning of the word of God? Answering these questions and more, The Truth about Conservative Christians will interest—and surprise—a broad range of readers, especially in this heated election year.
