This volume contains a novelized version of the Asarian Resurrection myth that is based on the actual scriptures presented in the Book Asarian Religion (old name –Resurrecting Osiris). This volume is prepared in the form of a screenplay and can be easily adapted to be used as a stage play. Spiritual seeking is a mythic journey that has many emotional highs and lows, ecstasies and depressions, victories and frustrations. This is the War of Life that is played out in the myth as the struggle of Heru and Set and those are mythic characters that represent the human Higher and Lower self. How ...

The purpose of Law and Society, this second of three volumes of The Institutes of Biblical Law, is to show how God’s law applies to every aspect of our lives and world. There are in God’s word specified consequences, curses and blessings, for disobedience and obedience. We cannot understand history apart from that fact.

I bring forth the sacred doctrines, perennial teachings, and ancient wisdom within this book as I will follow the original line of consciousness and how it has spread throughout this known universe. I will give to us the conscious path throughout the three origins of this earth’s cycle. They are the belief structures that evolved from Animism in European, Indian, and Paleo-Indian. I will now explain how the plane of dark, created by the universal mind was corrupted and is attempting to be taken over by the outer universe within our own galaxy.

How have Christian theologies of religious superiority underwritten ideologies of white supremacy in the United States? According to author Hill Fletcher, the tendency of Christians to view themselves as the "chosen ones" has often been translated into racial categories as well. In other words, Christian supremacy has historically lent itself to white supremacy, with disastrous consequences. Fletcher proposes strategies that will help foster racial healing in America.

This book is NOT a How to Build a Big Church manual. It is a call to a more spiritually healthy church and Christian life. The author performs a spiritual autopsy from head to toe on an imaginary dead church. Hundreds of Bible verses are used as a sharp scalpel exposing potential killers of the contemporary church. Creative and challenging insights will help you and your church avoid the spiritual obituaries.

Living Like Jesus is a deeply challenging examination of the powerful yet counter-intuitive principles for effective living that Jesus taught and modelled. Turning away from society’s pursuit of affluence and influence, Jesus calls us to embrace a radically different set of life principles. In contrast to the bankruptcy of the world’s values, these life principles turn out to be the only true path to lasting joy and fulfilment. Yet very few people discover this path and venture down it. The path that Jesus beckons us toward is the road less travelled - even for Christians. But for those...

What if the Gospel is not about making the Godless Godly, but making the godly godless? What if Jesus isn’t interested in calling us to add one more deity to our list of priorities, but to abandon the notion of the divine as we’ve imagined it altogether, and to follow him down a path so contradictory to our concepts of God, that it looks more like forsaking him than following him? In The Atheistic Theist, Jeff Turner argues that the only way to find God is to lose God, and that many of us who think we’ve found God, have lost God. This book is a radical call to recapture the Church’s...

The following document concerning Mary, Mother of Jesus, contains little that is fundamentally new. It is rather for the most part a synthesis of Mary’s exalted roles as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate as they are already contained in the sources of divine revelation, Sacred Scripture and Apostolic Tradition, as interpreted by the Magisterium (cf. Dei Verbum, n. 9, 10), and as it is presently understood and experienced in the dynamic ecclesial life of the Living, Pondering, and Praying Church, the People of God. It is true that in the divine drama of how God makes himself and his ...

While the New Testament speaks about believers being judged, it's crucial to note that this judgment is distinct from the final judgment of unbelievers. The focus is on evaluating believers' lives and works, determining rewards or loss of rewards in the kingdom of God. These scriptures collectively form the basis for the understanding that Christians will face judgment at the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing the importance of a faithful and obedient life. Studying these passages and their interpretations within the broader theological context provides a deeper understanding of the ...

The Body of Messiah today is not seeing the type of spiritual outpouring that we read about in the book of Acts, even though we have access to modern buildings, transportation, and technology that Paul and Peter never even imagined. We have tools and resources far beyond what the early believers had, so common sense and simple statistics tell us that we should be accomplishing much more than they did. However, even with all of our advantages, the statistics provided by research groups tell us that the number of people who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) is on the decline. If this is true (and it ...

Based upon the course Dr. Cottrell taught throughout his entire 49-year tenure as a seminary professor entitled "The Doctrine of God", this book is the third volume of "The Collected Writings of Jack Cottrell." For this present volume Dr. Cottrell has selected thirty studies, most of which have been produced in the twenty-first century, some as late as 2018. The first seventeen studies are grouped around the topic of the nature of God, and the next twelve studies around the works of God, especially creation and providence.

The Holy Communion remains a mystery to many people including those who claim to understand it. To many, it has become a church ritual. Many regard it as part of their church culture. People concentrate on the attire and which best wine to serve on the day. Many people would make sure they don't miss this day. In this book I bring a revelation of the bread and the wine. Jesus tried so many times to reveal Himself as the bread that came out of heaven. He said to his disciples to focus on Him each time they broke bread and served wine. The Old testament church in the wilderness ate this bread...

Martin Luther's On Christian Liberty is considered to be Luther's seminal work on the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith alone, and not through works. This short manifesto expounds on the nature of the freedom of a Christian, providing some of the principles that would become the foundation of the Protestant Reformation.

Through his own writings and inspiration of Aristotle and countless others, Plato continues to influence every area of philosophic thought, to say nothing of his enormous influence on Christian theology. His dramatic dialogues, including Republic, the monumental treatise on the ideal state, render him one of the greatest of Greek literary geniuses. In this concise analysis, eminent Plato scholar A. E. Taylor examines the philosopher's theory of knowledge and doctrine of ideas; the ideal of the philosopher-king; the social system advocated in Republic; judgments on democracy; and belief in the immortality of the soul. Also considered: Plato's relationship with his master, Socrates; contribution to the idea of university education; attack on art; abstention from public life; anticipation of Copernicus. Taylor also mentions historical misunderstandings of the one he deems the most original and influential of all philosophers.

No one has more questions about God than those who know Him best. When you first become a Christian, your relationship with God begins much like entering into the small end of a funnel. Then with every step you take further toward the light of God’s presence, the more the funnel widens out and the bigger you realize He is. With every step you take closer to God, He gets two steps bigger. The funnel never stops widening out, but our minds can only expand so far. A person can know God intimately for decades yet still feel like they’ve only scratched the surface. The more you learn the ...
