On the Resurrection of the Dead and on the Last Judgment - Theological Commonplaces

Editura: CONCORDIA PUB HOUSE

Anul aparitiei: 2020

About This VolumeOn the Resurrection of the Dead and On the Last Judgement consists of two of Johann Gerhard's commonplaces: On the Resurrection of the Dead and On the Last JudgementOn the Resurrection of the Dead consists of extensive arguments for the resurrection of the dead from both Old Testament and New Testament sources against the doubts of Jewish doctrine, skeptics, and human reason. He argues that God has both the will and the power to restore us in this way, focusing on the material reality of the resurrection. Every man and woman will be raised again in their own bodies to demonstrate the glory of God and to prepare them to stand for judgement, either increasing in glory in their raised bodies in heaven or physically suffering in their bodies in condemnation.On the Last Judgement establishes the purpose of the final judgement as a confirmation of God's truthfulness in His Word, justice according to His Law, and kindness towards the Godly in His Mercy. While Gerhard acknowledges the mystery of the time and place of the judgment, only confessing that the Christ's second coming will herald the beginning of judgement. Despite this, he does cover and interpret a number of ...

Anul aparitiei: 2020

"I am old and ready to die. To be truthful, I have been ready to die for years, but right now, I feel ready as I have never been before."This quote was taken from one of David Leininger's sermons titled "Simeon: A Monologue," in which he takes at one of the most well-known stories in the Bible, Jesus' Visit to the Temple, and looks at it from a new perspective. Throughout The 2000 Year Old Preacher, he invites his audience to do the same, observing this holiday season from a new angle.Consider the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her status as the favored one of God. In his sermon, "Mary's Complaint," Leininger references how the favored mother of Jesus does not complain during her complications as she carries the Son of God, but continues to praise His name and remain grateful for the privilege that she had been given.Leininger uses a variety of topics to ask his congregation to view their lives from a new perspective, using sermons such as: Advent 3: Hark the Herald...What? (John 1:6-8, 19-28) Nativity of Our Lord: God Bless Santa! (Luke 2:1-20) Epiphany 5: Heroines of the Faith (Mark 1:29-39) So take a step back from viewing the forest and look at the trees, have a ...

F. talks about his duties, social and business activities and all the people that lived in the area.

A priest learns that to serve both his God and mankind, he must betray his faith. In 1995, the gruesome death of Father Alex Shipman, a young Catholic priest who was also the scion of a wealthy, internationally (in)famous political family, leads an investigator to truths the priest uncovered that could shatter-or redeem-the faith of millions. Father Alex Shipman's fall to his gruesome death in a grand, old LA cathedral creates an instant sensation--the talk of every morning news shows coast-to-coast. To fight the suspiciously immediate rumors of suicide from Church officials, Amanda, the Shipman family matriarch, hires a high-profile investigator to find the truth.

Psycho-Phone Messages

Editura: CURIOUS PUBN

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Psycho-Phone Messages was originally published in 1921 by Francis Grierson, a mystic, musician, poet, prophet, and overall man of many talents. Grierson was born as Benjamin Henry Jesse Francis Shepard in 1848 in England, but grew up in Illinois. He later took his mother's maiden name when publishing Modern Mysticism in 1899. By 1915, the Washington Herald hailed Grierson as the "Strangest Man in the World." "So great, varied and unearthly are Grierson's gifts that it is difficult to consider him as a human being," the paper wrote. "If he had lived in ancient times his contemporaries would have made an oracle, prophet or saint out of him."His most particular talent was on display at the piano, where he completely improvised without ever learning to read a note of music. Grierson's abilities led him to travels throughout Europe playing before crowned heads and causing Alexandre Dumas to say, "I predict for you a marvelous future."That future included an interest in Spiritualism. Grierson conducted séances across America and Europe, and in the late 1880s built a home in San Diego called Villa Montezuma. It would become a temple to occultism, with many séances being held within. ...
