If God is truly merciful and loving, perfect in goodness, how can he consign human beings created in his own image to eternal torment in hell? God's goodness seems incompatible with inflicting horrible evil upon those who oppose his will and defy his law. If to this paradox we add the metaphysical requirement that God be perfect in goodness, the eternal evil of hell seems to be contradictory to God's own nature. Catholic philosopher Adrian Reimers takes on these challenges in Hell and the Mercy of God, drawing on relevant sources from Aristotle to Aquinas, from Dante to Tolkien, from Wagner to John Paul II, along with Billie Holliday, The Godfather, and the music of George Gershwin. He presents a philosophical theology, grounded in Scripture, of the nature of goodness and evil, exploring various types of pain, the seven capital sins, the resurrection of the body, the meaning of mammon, the core meaning of idolatry, the psychology of Satan and those who choose his path, and the moral responsibility of the human person.

Download and read online ebook The Skeletons in God's Closet write by Joshua Ryan Butler. This book was released on 2014-10-21. The Skeletons in God's Closet available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn’t it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God’s goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as: The Lake of Fire Lazarus and the Rich Man The Slaughter of Canaanites in the Old Testament Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Close uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole. It pulls the “skeletons out of God’s closet” to reveal they were never really skeletons at all.

This book was released on 2017-08-07. Go to Heaven available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Why is it, asks Bishop Fulton Sheen, that one hears so often the expression "Go to hell!" and almost never the expression "Go to heaven!" Here, at his most penetrating, challenging, and illuminating best is Bishop Sheen with his answer, in a book that breathes new meaning into the truths about heaven and hell, and new life into the concepts of faith, tolerance, love, prayer, suffering, and death. Beginning with "The First Faint Summons to Heaven," Sheen shows how unpopular it is today to be a true Christian, and describes the struggle for living our faith amid the disorders of our times. Keenly aware of evil in the myriad forms it takes in today's world, Bishop Sheen writes about the constant battle man faces with the "seven pallbearers of character" - pride, avarice, envy, lust, anger, gluttony and sloth - linking them with the corrosive forces that never cease in their attacks on the Church and those who earnestly desire to be serious Christians. In Go to Heaven, a great spiritual teacher and writer, deeply aware of the human and spiritual conflicts being waged in the world, shows us the way to heaven in a most eloquent book, encouraging the reader to choose heaven now, and to understand the "reality of hell."

Download and read online ebook A Little Book of God's Mercy write by Robert Fitzpatrick. This book was released on 2016-06-20. A Little Book of God's Mercy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In A Little Book of God's Mercy, you'll see how God reveals His plan to be merciful to all those who live until the end of the world. This includes billions of people who will never be saved. In fact, the Bible reveals that only a small number of all those alive on the last day will be saved. Some of what you find in this book will be familiar if you were a Family Radio listener for a while before May 21, 2011 and heard the late Mr. Harold Camping teach about the Bible's timeline. Although many people have now dismissed his teachings, you will see that he actually came very close to correctly understanding what the Bible reveals about the last days. And if you are not familiar with Mr. Camping's teachings, you will find in A Little Book of God's Mercy a coherent solution to many questions that have puzzled Christians for centuries. This claim is based on the Bible, because the Lord reveals that only in the last days will the elect understand certain truths. This was God's promise to the prophet Daniel when He spoke to him about the "time of the end." Daniel didn't understand. When he asked for more information, the Lord told him that the words were "closed up and sealed till the time of the end." Even though what Daniel heard was sealed until our day, the Bible actually shows pictures of this information being unsealed. We find them in Revelation, recorded by the apostle John about 600 years after Daniel finished recording his book. Revelation is the last book of the Bible and is God's final word to mankind. It describes many visions seen by John when he was on the island of Patmos near the end of the first century A.D. Many people have heard some references to Revelation, but they may have no idea what they mean. The seven seals, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the battle of Armageddon are often mentioned in discussions about the end of the world. In A Little Book of God's Mercy, you will find these visions explained along with several lesser known visions from Revelation (such as those about the two witnesses and the little book that John ate), and see how they relate to certain other passages from elsewhere in the Bible, such as Joseph's coat of many colors, the parable of the ten virgins, Balaam's talking ass, Satan's head wound, and Jacob's deathbed prophecies about his twelve sons - from whom are descended the twelve tribes of Israel. You'll find all these explained in A Little Book of God's Mercy, along with a discussion of hell and the question of whether there is punishment after death for the unsaved (there isn't!). And you'll see how God reveals that Israel spent 430 years in Egypt. Many Jewish scholars reject this number because it doesn't seem to agree with other numbers God provides. However, when we correctly analyze all numbers given in the account, we find that Israel did indeed spend 430 years in Egypt. You'll find discussions about all these subjects in this book, but you won't find a prediction for the end of the world. The Bible reveals we cannot know that date. It does, however, reveal the purpose for which the Lord has provided so much time information. It allows us to calculate that Creation was in the year 11,013 B.C., and Noah's flood in 4990 B.C. - and it allows us to understand that salvation ended in 2011. Yes, it was for the purpose of proclaiming the approaching end of salvation that God has given us so much information about time. We find support for this conclusion in several passages where God reveals that the elect remain here even after salvation has ended. For example, in Ecclesiastes 12 we see the elect pictured as a dragging grasshopper. This chapter is a picture of today: the period between the date when salvation is over and the last day. And when will that day arrive? All we know is that there is a long delay after salvation ends. However, some people who are living today will live long enough to see the Lord return. You may be among them!
