Creation in Six Days
Author: James B. JordanPublisher: Canon Press & Book Service
ISBN: 1885767625
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Creation in Six Days offers an exegetical, literary, and theological defense of the traditional interpretation of the Genesis account of six-day creation. Jordan's account is primarily designed to answer any approach to the text of Genesis, such as the increasingly popular Framework Hypothesis, that pits the text's literary features against its historical and narrative sense. Beyond his exegetical critique of several prominent positions, Jordan offers a constructive reading of the early parts of Genesis and also seeks to uncover the assumptions which attract people to the Framework Interpretation and similar views. The explanation, he says, lies in the acceptance of many of the questionable assumptions of modern science on the part of most Christians today, coupled with the pervasiveness of a gnostic or nonhistorical attitude toward the Christian faith.

Book Description
First, God believed, and then he called what he had inside his heart to existence. In the book, The Reality of God’s Creation, we can understand that the reality our eyes see day by day is not nearly what the Father wished for us, and through Jesus Christ, we have access to this reality lost by sin. God’s Word is the most potent encyclopedia in life. However, it would be a mysterious unknown if there were not God’s great will through the anointing of the Spirit, both to write it and to interpret it. From this formula, the result comes—revelation. In possession of it, what remains is to live enjoying a life carefully planned by our God and Father. Moreover, nothing is better than knowing how everything was planned. Just know the manual of life—the Word of God—consulting how everything was planned in the beginning. (Pastor Atlas Freire) Purpose and destiny! To discover the purpose of human existence is undoubtedly one of the most-thought-out questions of our time. We live in an age when our society is hungry for a purpose, for a mission, for a real sense. Who is a human being? What is your place within the planet and society? When God created man, he had a goal; nothing was done by chance, and everything is wholly connected according to his magnificence. You have a purpose and a destiny, and until you find out which one, you will never be complete and successful in your life. Once you know your purpose, God will show your destiny.
From Nothing
Author: Ian A. McFarlandPublisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 1611645247
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Too often the doctrine of creation has been made to serve limited or pointless ends, like the well-worn arguments between science and faith over the question of human and cosmic origins. Given this history, some might be tempted to ignore the theology of creation, thinking it has nothing new or substantive to say. They would be wrong. In this stimulating volume, Ian A. McFarland shows that at the heart of the doctrine of creation lies an essential truth about humanity: we are completely dependent on God. Apart from this realization, little else about us makes sense. McFarland demonstrates that this radical dependence is a consequence of the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo, creation from nothing. Taking up the theological consequences of creation--theodicy and Providence--the author provides a detailed and innovative constructive theology of creation. Drawing on the biblical text, classical sources, and contemporary thought, From Nothing proves that a robust theology of creation is a necessary correlate to the Christian confession of redemption in Jesus Christ.

Book Description
My book, Genesis: The Creation, is a book that causes you to critically think what you used to know through theological teachings and what you heard preached. You will see progressive prophecy reveal and challenge you to expand your thinking. In order to receive the messages and the jewels inside these pages, you must be willing to relearn how to rethink. Genesis: The Creation requires the view to see real people with real problems, whether individual personal issues, family issues, and society issues that causes you to unleash your hold on to traditions, church teaching, and your own misunderstanding about scriptures. The characters you read about in the Holy Biblethirty-nine books (The Torah, twenty-four books) the historical books, prophetic books, Book of Psalms (songs), book of laws, and the New Testament of twenty-seven booksshare the life of men, women, and children and their decisions, faith, lack of faith, forms of worship, and betrayal. Isaacs character is that of peaceful men. We can learn from this leader in grace under fire. Now we all appreciate faithfulness, imagine having to wait twenty years for your promisethat is exactly what happened to Isaac. He had married Rebekah at age forty, and they had gone through a famine and other adversities. At the age of sixty, Isaac is presented with double blessingtwins. Rebekahs age is not certain, but she is at less fifty. Rebekahs own relationship with Yahweh was strong. Her prayer was immediately answered (Genesis 25: 2223), with baby(ies) struggling inside Rebekah who asked God what was going on. No doubt she needed to know something: (a) this is my first time pregnant, but something is not feeling right! (b) Ive seen others pregnant, and it seems to me that they did not face this difficulty; (c) I know my husband has prayed to you, and he and I have spoken about this so now I need to hear from you; (d) what is your plan for what is going on inside of me, as I can accept it. After going to God, Rebakah received her answer, and she could go forward confidently with the struggle taken place in her womb. Two nations would be born to a onetime barren woman.

Book Description
Far from being a trivial issue, or one that can be interpreted many different ways, God's record of creation displays a marvelous and clear consistency throughout. From the symphony of the creation week in Genesis, to the promise of a new heaven and a new earth in Revelation, the Bible speaks of a recent, six-day creation of the universe.A respected scholar, the late Dr. Henry M. Morris spent over six decades studying God's Word, and his commentaries enriched the faith of many. In this remarkable book, Dr. Morris examines both the famous creation account in Genesis, as well as lesser-known references, such as Ezra and Colossians.

Book Description
Creation and Evolution are sometimes controversial topics to modern Man. How can a modern person of Faith reconcile scientific knowledge with biblical accounts of Creation of Heaven and Earth? Why, where and how does Man fit into the overall scheme of things. What is the destiny of the Human Race? How can Man avoid trouble and have a successful Life? These are all age-old questions answered by an age-old Story, namely, the Story of Creation as recorded in the first book of Moses. The Writer has taken the humble step to explore this informative Story in a meaningful manner, so as to benefit Man and Woman in their unwittingly problematic Life. Life is complicated and too many self-proclaimed gurus offer Man and Woman their un-solicited advice, how to achieve Nirvana. This book is written to provide information on how to deal with problems and solutions according to divine Scripture. May the Reader be richly blessed by it's contents. The Writer
