Where does the concept of reincarnation come from?Most Christians believe it is a Hindu or New Age belief, but the truth is that reincarnation has been in the Bible all this time. Yet many Christians have been blinded to it, and indoctrinated to reject it, due to the Nicaean Council’s manipulations of the Bible edits. But Jesus was Jewish, taught reincarnation, and had discussions about reincarnation with his disciples, proving it has always been a core Jewish belief. Christians are grafted into the covenants of Israel and the Jewish people. The author proves that it was covered up under ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 146 Despite the distance separating eighteenth-century Welsh Methodism from nineteenth-century French Catholicism, Ann Griffiths in Wales and the Carmelite Elizabeth of the Trinity in France are as one in the passionate intensity of their prayer and in their theological perception of God the Holy Trinity as the supreme reality.

The book Conflicts Among the Tentacles of the Monster is a compact sociology-of-reform case study: it argues that the antebellum “benevolent empire” (Bible, tract, missions, temperance, abolition, education, etc.) projected a saintly public face while internally generating predictable power-struggles—because once a “cause” becomes an institution, it must fund itself, defend itself, and govern itself, and those needs incubate the same sins reformers claim to oppose. It maps the movement’s internal conflicts into recurring fault-lines. First is authority: church courts and local ...

They’ve been called legalists, hypocrites, and the ultimate villains of the Gospels. But what if everything you think you know about the Pharisees is wrong? For centuries, they’ve been cast as rigid enforcers of outdated laws, standing in opposition to everything good and true. But history tells a different story. The Pharisees weren’t just rule-makers—they were the architects of a religious revolution. They took Judaism out of the Temple and into the home, shaping a faith that could survive war, exile, and destruction. Their debates laid the groundwork for modern Jewish thought, ...

Your book argues—pretty coherently—that the “methods” of interpretation are real tools, but the decisive issue is spiritual epistemology: who makes the Word living to the hearer? The thesis is that grammatical-historical constraints (grammar, genre, historical setting) are valuable as guards against interpretive acrobatics, yet they remain insufficient to produce saving understanding. The foreword frames this with the central contrast: method can dissect; only the Spirit can vivify—illumination being defined not as new revelation, but as the Spirit opening the reader to perceive, ...

Jesus's command to the disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons was an integral part of the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God in the early centuries of the church. Did we lose God's gift of healing and deliverance in the church as the centuries rolled on? Can we mesh Christian healing with scientific progress? A Case for Healing Today presents biblical, historical, and theological perspectives on Christian healing. Through an understanding of author Bob Sawvelle's meticulous research, Christians can proclaim and demonstrate the good news of God's healing presence today.

The question before us is not whether repentance matters. Scripture commands repentance, godly sorrow is real, and the believer’s life includes ongoing humbling before God. The question is where repentance and confession are allowed to sit in the structure of the gospel. When repentance becomes a hinge that turns forgiveness on and off—when confession is treated as the mechanism by which pardon is obtained or regained—then even evangelical language can drift into a practical re-legalization of the Christian life. This is precisely the danger Old School Baptists repeatedly resisted, ...

What if your worst betrayal was preparing you for your greatest purpose? Thrown into a pit by his brothers. Sold into slavery for twenty pieces of silver. Falsely accused by his master's wife. Forgotten in an Egyptian prison for years. Joseph had every reason to believe God had abandoned him. He was wrong. "This is not punishment. This is preparation." JOSEPH OF GENESIS: PREPARATION, NOT PUNISHMENT reimagines the biblical story of the dreamer who lost everything—his family, his freedom, his future—only to discover that every wound was a doorway, every descent a rehearsal for rising, and...

Not surprisingly, the scriptures share many important doctrinal truths about Jesus and the principles of Christianity. It is for that reason that this book has been written. The whole goal has been to share Bible truth and doctrinal truth by presenting one hundred stories about Jesus during His incarnated life and also stories about His apostles. Those truths will be shared as short two-or-three-page essays. They range from Jesus feeding five thousand men to Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding supper in Cana. They range from Jesus and John the Baptist warning the people to repent to ...

La Didachè est un petit livre qui fut écrit en langue grecque, sans doute en Syrie, vers la fin du premier siècle ou au début du deuxième siècle de notre ère. Son principal intérêt réside dans le tableau qu'elle nous trace des institutions chrétiennes. Elle nous apporte des renseignements souvent uniques sur la pratique des premières communautés, sur le baptême, les jeûnes, les temps de la prière, l'eucharistie, le ministère de la parole, la hiérarchie, la pénitence.
