What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.
“...Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six, 666.” (Revelation 13:18) I was born on 06/16/1956 (666.) I am destined, ordained, blessed and bestowed by the Lord to reveal the truth and to be an instrument in restoring the ancient Kingdom of Israel to its past glories as God’s covenanted people. The Kingdom of Israel had always existed in our midst but was lost and concealed from our knowledge for many centuries while we multiplied in various regions of the world. It is now the time for the Lord to restore the Kingdom of Israel as his precious and anointed people of God. God shall ultimately graft back all the Israelites worldwide to their original tree and they shall all identify themselves as the covenanted people and heirs to the blessings of God This book is a testament of God and I wrote it with the aspiration and revelation of the Lord. The Lord and his blessed Son, Jesus Christ, shall be worshipped and revered by the entire Israelites all over the world when they come to the knowledge of the truth and to the knowledge of themselves. I have proven that Africans and Europeans are indeed the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and are the covenanted people of God. Both blacks and whites shall rise and grow together and they shall both be the blessed people of God from henceforward. This is the end of time when the whole world shall be renewed and would be led by an entirely new perception as the authenticated Israelites. This book has established that task. It is the era when Satan shall be tied down for a thousand years.
Many studies have portrayed Judaism in Antiquity as sectarian, with a variety of groups all claiming to be The True Israel. Early Christianity is alleged to have begun in this context as one more Jewish sect claiming such authority. However, the second-century Christian Justin Martyr is the first person known to have used the phrase 'the True Israel'. This book examines the uses of the names 'Jew', 'Hebrew' and 'Israel' in the surviving literature - especially the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, New Testament and Mishnah - to determine whether this is an adequate or accurate picture. It discusses the associations of each word, as determined by their actual usage and collocations rather than their theoretical origins. It will be of value to scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details.
God created all people. Within the total of humanity God has a group of people that He considers His own, His chosen people. These chosen few were given a name that defines who they are, and what makes them separate from all other people. That name of course is 'Israel'. "Israel" means 'one who struggles with God'. It's one who wrestles with God's Divine authority, i.e., His commands, laws and promises. And after the internal struggle is over, they surrender their own wills to submit to YHVH's Divine will. The problem is, we are all born with a selfish nature, that is, we are by nature self-centered, self-absorbed and we elevate self to top priority in our lives and we desire to be self-ruled and put self first- we don't want anyone telling us what to do. We by nature don't want to submit to anyone else's authority. However, YHVH God calls on us to humble ourselves and submit to His Divine authority. And our internal struggle must happen in order to do that, we must crucify 'self', i.e., self-love, selfishness, self-centeredness, etc. And that is what Jesus called us to do, in order to be one of God's chosen people; Matthew 16:24, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." And Luke adds the word 'Daily'. And when we are able to do that we are true children of Abraham and partake in a covenant relationship with YHVH God, by fulfilling the stipulations of the Covenant, becoming Israel and receiving the promise of eternal life. In this book I will examine the Scriptures to see what it alone says about who is the true Israel. I will draw on many of scriptures from the New and Old Testaments which tell us how we can be true Israel. By the time you are done with this book, the answer you are seeking will be obvious.
How did the Apostle Paul view the Church? And where does Israel fit in? How are the promises to Israel fulfilled? In Heirs of Promise, P. Chase Sears discusses this relationship between the Church and Israel, and he explains how that affects our understanding of the Old Testament. Using a biblical-theological approach to the book of Romans, Sears argues that Paul understood the church not as a replacement of Israel, but as the new Israel—the continuation of Israel reconstituted in Christ. And Jesus, as the Son of God, is the true Israel who fulfills all of God's purposes for Israel and creation. Sears shows how the Old Testament promises to Israel are being fulfilled in the Church.
In this much-anticipated textbook, three respected biblical scholars have written a history of ancient Israel that takes the biblical text seriously as an historical document. While also considering nonbiblical sources and being attentive to what disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, and sociology suggest about the past, the authors do so within the context and paradigm of the Old Testament canon, which is held as the primary document for reconstructing Israel's history. In Part One, the authors set the volume in context and review past and current scholarly debate about learning Israel's history, negating arguments against using the Bible as the central source. In Part Two, they seek to retell the history itself with an eye to all the factors explored in Part One.
The relationship between Israel and the church continues to be a controversial topic led by this question: Does the church replace, supersede, or fulfill the nation of Israel in God's plan, or will Israel be saved and restored with a unique identity and role? In Has the Church Replaced Israel?, author Michael J. Vlach evaluates the doctrine of replacement theology (also known as supersessionism) down through history but ultimately argues in favor of the nonsupersessionist position. Thoroughly vetting the most important hermeneutical and theological issues related to the Israel/church relationship, Vlach explains why, "there are compelling scriptural reasons in both testaments to believe in a future salvation and restoration of the nation Israel."
David, King of the Jews, possessed every flaw and failing a mortal is capable of, yet men and women adored him and God showered him with many more blessings than he did Abraham or Moses. His sexual appetite and prowess were matched only by his violence, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. A charismatic leader, exalted as "a man after God's own heart," he was also capable of deep cunning, deceit, and betrayal. Now, in King David: The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel, bestselling author Jonathan Kirsch reveals this commanding individual in all his glory and fallibility. In a taut, dramatic narrative, Kirsch brings new depth and psychological complexity to the familiar events of David's life--his slaying of the giant Goliath and his swift challenge to the weak rule of Saul, the first Jewish king; his tragic relationship with Saul's son Jonathan, David's cherished friend (and possibly lover); his celebrated reign in Jerusalem, where his dynasty would hold sway for generations. Yet for all his greatness, David was also a man in thrall to his passions--a voracious lover who secured the favors of his beautiful mistress Bathsheba by secretly arranging the death of her innocent husband; a merciless warrior who triumphed through cruelty; a troubled father who failed to protect his daughter from rape and whose beloved son Absalom rose against him in armed insurrection. Weaving together biblical texts with centuries of interpretation and commentary, Jonathan Kirsch brings King David to life in these pages with extraordinary freshness, intimacy, and vividness of detail. At the center of this inspiring narrative stands a hero of flesh and blood--not the cartoon giant-slayer of sermons and Sunday school stories or the immaculate ruler of legend and art but a magnetic, disturbingly familiar man--a man as vibrant and compelling today as he has been for millennia.
