The Creeds of Modern Christianity versus the Teachings of the Holy Bible available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When it comes to religion, this book is a comparison between what most Christian creeds state and what the Bible (King James Version) teaches about God, Jesus Christ, and many of the topics that most people have questions about. The author asks many thought-provoking questions, the very questions that he sought answers to but found so much conflict in Christianity. Do you have unanswered questions? Are the answers important to you? Have you personally read the Bible to see what it actually says? Do you believe the Bible? Or do you accept only what men (ministers) say? Each topic is taken independently, and there are questions asked, answers suggested, and conclusions drawn. The reader is challenged to read this and find their own answers through prayer and personal study. Are you up to a challenge?

Download and read online ebook Cold-Case Christianity write by J. Warner Wallace. This book was released on 2013-01-01. Cold-Case Christianity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

This book was released on 2021-04-18. The Creeds available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This beautiful pamphlet contains the full text of the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed, and explains why they are important to learn today. In 14 pages you will take a simple easy-to-understand look back to the historical teachings of the church and bring them to life for today’s believers. During the time of the early church (AD 30-AD 400) some key beliefs were misunderstood by Gnostics and other religious groups. Some people couldn’t tell the difference between the teachings of Jesus’ apostles and the notions that were common in society. It was important to put together short summaries of the essential doctines of the faith. Many of the phrases were written to address particular false beliefs. The pamphlet shows that many of the questionable teachings of 2000 years ago are still around. Understanding how the church dealt with these issues in the past helps us to deal with those same issues today. This Pamphlet is Packed with Easy-to-Read Information at a Glance! A clear simple explanation of the church’s response to ancient heresies, many of which are common in today’s cultic groups and other religions. CHART 1 Concise easy-to-understand chart with explanations of these groups. They are important to know because so many modern heresies are similar to them. Without a chart such as this, it is difficult to tell the truth from an incorrect belief because groups use the same terms. CHARTS 2, 3 and 4 These charts explain each part of the three Creeds line by line and give Bible references for each phrase. CHART 5 Side-by-side comparison of Gnostic and Christian beliefs on Jesus, Salvation, the Origin of Evil, Cosmonogy (origin of the universe), and Cosmology (the nature, order, and function of the universe). Perfect for confirmation, baptism, and communion-preparation classes; parents of confirmation students; teacher training on the basic beliefs of Christianity; personal devotional reading; and small group or Bible study.

This book was released on 2018-02-13. Unbelievable available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Five hundred years after Martin Luther and his Ninety-Five Theses ushered in the Reformation, bestselling author and controversial bishop and teacher John Shelby Spong delivers twelve forward-thinking theses to spark a new reformation to reinvigorate Christianity and ensure its future. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Christianity was in crisis—a state of conflict that gave birth to the Reformation in 1517. Enduring for more than 200 years, Luther’s movement was then followed by a "revolutionary time of human knowledge." Yet these advances in our thinking had little impact on Christians’ adherence to doctrine—which has led the faith to a critical point once again. Bible scholar and Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong contends that there is mounting pressure among Christians for a radically new kind of Christianity—a faith deeply connected to the human experience instead of outdated dogma. To keep Christianity vital, he urges modern Christians to update their faith in light of these advances in our knowledge, and to challenge the rigid and problematic Church teachings that emerged with the Reformation. There is a disconnect, he argues, between the language of traditional worship and the language of the twenty-first century. Bridging this divide requires us to rethink and reformulate our basic understanding of God. With its revolutionary resistance to the authority of the Church in the sixteenth century, Spong sees in Luther’s movement a model for today’s discontented Christians. In fact, the questions they raise resonate with those contemplated by our ancestors. Does the idea of God still have meaning? Can we still follow historic creeds with integrity? Are not such claims as an infallible Pope or an inerrant Bible ridiculous in today’s world? In Unbelievable, Spong outlines twelve "theses" to help today’s believers more deeply contemplate and reshape their faith. As an educator, clergyman, and writer who has devoted his life to his faith, Spong has enlightened Christians and challenged them to explore their beliefs in new and meaningful ways. In this, his final book, he continues that rigorous tradition, once again offering a revisionist approach that strengthens Christianity and secures its relevance for generations to come.
