Some have suggested that Jesus did not act like God the first 30 years of his life except for 2 times. HIs first miracle was performed as a fetus, when he came near the fetus of John the Baptist and caused him to jump for joy and his mom to be filled with the Holy Spirt. Then Jesus forgot he was God for 12 years until he performed a second miraculous 3-day teaching in the Temple. Of course this is absurd and it is not what the Gospel texts say in many older Bibles. We know the original New Testaments only allowed "Luke" as the Gospel, but all but a few of the dozen other Gospels were ...

This book shares with its readers biblical and relevant information centered around the birth of Jesus Christ.

Das Wort "evangelikal" wird oft unzureichend definiert und ist mit manchem Ballast beladen. So stellen sich einige sogar die Frage, ob sie diese Bezeichnung nicht ganz aufgeben sollten. Michael Reeves argumentiert anhand der Bibel und der Kirchengeschichte, dass es nicht notwendig ist, das Wort zu verwerfen. Christen müssen jedoch zu den Wurzeln des Begriffs – zum euangélion, dem Evangelium – zurückkehren und verstehen, was er tatsächlich bedeutet.

This book contains a series of short essays that discuss twenty-five of the important promises from the Lord that have been stated in the scriptures. Each of the essays is basically independent of the others. But at the same time, they have also been ordered somewhat loosely from most important to least important based upon logical order. The Lord promises to love every person. He promises to be found but not indefinitely. He promises grace for salvation and living. He promises goodness and mercy. He promises salvation that cannot be lost. He promises to not be bought. He promises to resist...

This book has been written about Joseph, the son of Jacob. He had had two dreams about his family members bowing to him, and those dreams had made them very angry with him. In fact, they hated him so much that they actually tried to get rid of him. They sold him to some merchants going to Egypt. Then, an Egyptian captain bought him out of the local slave market and brought him into his household. Because the Lord was with him, Joseph excelled everywhere he went and in everything that he did. But that did not keep him from getting into a lot of trouble. He ended up in prison when the ...

One cannot study the opening chapters of the book of Genesis without getting into some very weighty issues. There is, of course, the first chapter that talks about Creation. But there are also other issues as well. For example, who wrote the book of Genesis? Not everyone will agree that it was Moses. Plus, when, if he did write it, did he actually write it? As will be seen in that part of this text, the higher critics have argued against Moses for a reason that will be shared at that time. But other critics have also argued against Moses, as being the author of the first five books of the ...

Nous connaissons tous l'histoire de Noël. Mais souvent nous supposons qu'elle n'est qu'un simple mythe ou une histoire inventée pour les enfants. L'auteure Rebecca McLaughlin nous invite à aller au-delà des clichés et nous conduit dans une enquête fascinante sur l'historicité du récit le plus célèbre de tous les temps. Elle démontre que l'histoire de Noël est bien plus crédible et bien plus importante que ce qu'on vous a voulu nous faire croire.

Cette édition traduite en français révèle que les racines du christianisme, aussi bien historiques que spirituelles, se trouvent en Égypte ancienne. Ce livre fait la démonstration que les récits du « Jésus historique » sont basées entièrement sur la vie et la mort du pharaon égyptien Twt/Tout Ankh-Amen et que le « Jésus de la foi » et la doctrine chrétienne sont complètement d’origine égyptienne - comme l’essence des enseignements/du message de même que les jours fériés religieux.

Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money, proposing an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his 95 Theses of 1517.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it was meant to be. Heard that one before? We're not supposed to get "attached" to another person. We're supposed to remain free and independent, yet at the same time we all want commitment, intimacy, and real love. Is that even possible?

It was the summer of 1961. Vince Lombardi, the iconic coach of the Green Bay Packers, started the training camp by holding something that needed no explanation. His words have since become legendary. He said, Gentlemen, this is a football. He made his point with five simple words: If we want to be successful, were going to have to remember the basics and make sure were executing the fundamentals.

Deze in het Nederland vertaalde editie onthult de Oude Egyptische wortels van het christendom, zowel historisch als spiritueel. Dit boek laat zien dat de verhalen van de "historische Jezus" volledig zijn gebaseerd op het leven en de dood van de Egyptische farao, Twt / Tut-Ankh-Amen (Toetanchamon); en dat de "Jezus van het geloof" en de christelijke dogma's, allen een Egyptische oorsprong kennen - zoals de essentie van de leer/boodschap, evenals de religieuze feestdagen.

Throughout the ages, Satan has tried to thwart the Divine Redemptive Plan of God with an ultimate conspiracy, which began when Satan convinced Eve, the wife of Adam, to disobey God’s command not to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in the midst of the Garden of Eden.

In one of the shortest yet most powerful statements in the Bible, Jesus warns His followers with three words: "Remember Lot's wife" (Luke 17:32). This seemingly simple command carries a depth of meaning that stretches across the ages and speaks directly to the hearts of believers today. To understand the significance of Jesus’ words, we must first revisit the story of Lot’s wife, examine the context in which Jesus spoke these words, and reflect on the enduring spiritual lessons that they convey.

Paul knew his future of arrest and eventual martyrdom, and knew more trouble was coming to the Church. As Gnostic false prophets were already active in the Church bringing in their doctrines of the demons. Also, Paul was already exposing the presence of false apostles who were bringing into the Church what Paul identified as another Jesus, by another Gospel, by a false Holy Spirit. All those situations were already happening, now Paul is going to his own death at the hands of Rome. With Pauls departure he warns of corruption from within the Church coming from the Church leaders themselves ...

Jesus warned His followers explicitly about the rise of false prophets: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15-16). This warning, spoken directly by the Lord, serves as a timeless caution to His Church. The metaphor of wolves disguised as sheep is striking; it reveals the subtle, hidden nature of false teachings. Such teachings often appear benign or even appealing at first but ultimately lead to spiritual destruction. For this reason, it is essential for the Church to ...
