Can the apple fall far from the tree? This book defines and distinguishes between fate and destiny in Islam. The false idea of predestination in Islam has been used to convince people that everything is decreed, which makes the idea of oversight somewhat acceptable and taking responsibility a non-existing concept. Fate and destiny in Islam are explained in this book based on the Quran, which Muslims believe is the word of God (Allah) that was revealed to the prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. This book addresses the following five questions:What is fate?What is destiny?Is ...

There has never been a husband and wife with a teaching and legacy like Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon's. ‘Revolutionary’ is totally inadequate to describe it. And, it will radically change the world for the better, one person at a time, guaranteed, perhaps beginning with you.

The Christian New Testament is dominated by two men, Jesus and Paul. Take away the four gospels and the letters of Paul and it is surprising how little of real significance is left. Following Leslie Scrase’s recent book on the relevance of Jesus for a secular age, he felt he had to continue and take a closer look at Paul. More than any other person, Paul was responsible for turning a small Jewish sect into an organisation holding the capacity to become a world religion. His dynamic, driven, self-assured character, combined with his organisational skills, put together with his ...

Does GOD exist? This question has been a subject of contemplation and debate for every known society throughout the history of our world; and, many would maintain, the most significant inquiry above any other topic. Regardless of which way a person responds, either answer can be alarming in its own right when one delves into the details or repercussions involved with either reality. During our lifetimes, this analysis will undoubtedly take place at one time or another for each individual. Although debates continue relating to theology and religious teachings, the focused debate on the ...

Si Dios es amor, ¿por qué no acaba con el sufrimiento?, se supone que es "Todopoderoso", ¿verdad? Nos dicen que Dios es bueno, justo, amoroso. Pero… si realmente lo es, ¿por qué el dolor sigue aquí? Si Dios puede sanar el cáncer de alguien, ¿por qué no el de todos? Si puede salvar a una persona de un accidente, ¿por qué deja morir a otras? ¿Es cuestión de fe, de suerte… o simplemente de favoritismo divino?, ¿Por qué ya no hace tantos milagros como en las historias de la biblia?. Tal vez Dios no es lo que nos dijeron. Tal vez no juega bajo nuestras reglas. O peor aún… ...

This book explores a new field called pre-philosophy that emerged out of pre-historical times to become religion and modern philosophy. Villegas covers the fundamental concepts that make up religious precepts and he shows that rationalism, faith and collectivism bring about a self-imposed cultural dictatorship.

What if God isn’t a supernatural force in the sky, but the living consciousness of the Earth itself? In 108: The Story of Discovering Earth's Consciousness, atheist Eric Leo takes listeners on an extraordinary journey that blends radical science, personal revelation, and a bold new vision of divinity. This audiobook begins with a startling premise—that planets and stars are sentient beings, their consciousness woven into the very fabric of their electromagnetic fields.

على امتداد التاريخ حاول البشر بلوغ هذه الحالة علّهم يلامسون تخومها، وما إن يشعروا باقتراب تلك التخوم حتى تبدأ رحلة التيه، يتحيرون وتحيرهم تلك الشرفات الضبابية الأخاذة..يتخبطون في وصفها ومحاولة تعريفها وتحليلها... حيرةٌ عانتها الصوفية في عالم التدين، وعانتها البوذية في عالم الوثنية، وعانتها السوريالية في عالم الحداثة المادية اللادينية !! كل هذه التوجهات تتوهم أنّها في الطريق إلى تجاوز تلك الحدود، واختراق تلك العتمة وملامسة العتبات التي تصل عالم المادة بذلك العالم؛ عالم الروح عند الصوفية، أو ما بعد النرفانا عند البوذية، أو الخط الفاصل بين الوعي واللاوعي عند السوريالية.

Tú eres Celeste, y tu universo galáctico contiene miríadas de cuerpos celestes, de estrellas de preones, (los preones son partículas subatómicas de las que están compuestos los quarks y los leptones) de meteoritos, de cometas, de soles, de planetas que reflejan la luz del lumínico astro que orbitan, por no poder efectuar procesos de fusión termonuclear como lo hacen las benditas y radiantes estrellas. Tu centro-corazón alberga constelaciones como rebañitos de dulces estrellas, de nebulosas dentro de las cuales se gestan miles de millones de maravillas estelares, chispas celestes ...

The Future Jew argues a startling thesis: The Jewish people have not yet responded decisively to the Holocaust. They have failed to recognize the event as a radical turning point in their history. This book declares that the extermination of six million innocents could only have happened in a world devoid of divinity. The future Jew is no dry academic treatise. A passionate response to history's most heinous crime, it is a highly accessible, compulsively readable work. Building its case through documentary evidence, ingeniously employing the tools of literature, it graphically recalls the ...

What if the key to lasting transformation wasn’t found in your effort, but in a gift you’ve already been given? In God’s Great Grace, pastor and author Jeff Culver invites you to rediscover one of the most powerful and often misunderstood truths in the Christian life: grace isn’t just unmerited favor—it’s the very foundation of our faith, the lifeline to freedom, and the power source for living the life God intended. So many believers today are striving—striving to earn God’s love, to stay in His favor, to measure up to a standard they were never meant to carry. Others have ...

Suppose God had a restaurant and you decided to go there. On the menu are all sorts of Gods, including a personal God, various Gods consistent with scientific belief, a multitude of different Gods, and even a God who would have Julius Caesar repeat his life as a cockroach. Which God would you order off this strange but wonderful menu? You would naturally ask the advice of your server: what are the pros and cons of each item? In this book, relatively short but very informative, the author is your server, who is not here to tell you what to choose but to guide you in making the right ...

One Possible Happening and A Perfect Reason are companion books that deal with the existence and nature of God. Each book is available separately, but are printed together in this combination edition. The first edition is One Possible Happening, which is a short introduction to using philosophical logic to consider the existence of God. It explores the subject three classical ways; by logical reason, sacred reason, and faith in the Bible. For readers who are new to logical reasoning, there are a number of philosophical abstractions which are explained. Some of these terms can be obscure and...

This edition is a companion piece to the previous issue of One Possible Happening. The first volume was a short examination of the existence of a Supreme Being in three ways: by logical reason, by sacred reason, and by faith in the Bible. The use of logical reason compares a definition of God to the existence of the cosmos. A discussion of sacred reasoning adds characteristics of knowledge, power, and everlasting love to the notion of God. And the reasoning by faith in the Bible enriches the concept of a God who loves His creation and seeks interaction with the human soul. A Perfect Reason ...

“Those great saints, who are knowers of dharma and greatly fortunate, spoke these words to me: ‘Rama will visit your very pious ashrama. Along with Saumitra [Lakshmana], you should offer Rama the greatest hospitality as your guest. Thus after seeing Him, as a benediction, you will ascend to the eternal realm.’” (Shabari speaking to Lord Rama, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kand, 74.15-16) “Welcoming Rama” is a collection of nine essays discussing the verses in the Ramayana which describe the time when Rama and Lakshmana visited the female ascetic Shabari in the forest.

Neste volume, Francisco Catão defende que, na cultura ocidental, para refletir sobre Deus, é necessário partir de duas tradições distintas: a tradição filosófica iniciada pelos gregos e a tradição religiosa consagrada pelos textos bíblicos. Reflete, então, sobre eles e seus cruzamentos, mostrando como se constituiu a questão de Deus. Coleção dirigida por Marilena Chaui e Juvenal Savian Filho.
