UFOs in der Bibel: UFOs in der Bibel

Uralte Wahrheiten, die seit Tausenden von Jahren vor aller Augen verborgen sind. Im Jahr 1968 brach Erich von Däniken eine Tür auf, durch die Millionen von Neugierigen mit Verwunderung und möglicherweise auch etwas Fassungslosigkeit geschaut haben. Jetzt, auf den Schultern dieses Riesen stehend, wird die Tür von Ken Goudsward in dieser erstaunlichen neuen Untersuchung der Heiligen Schrift weit aufgestoßen, wobei er eine beispiellose hebräische Exegese nutzt, um nicht weniger als 30 außerirdische Begegnungen auf den Seiten des meistverkauften Buches aller Zeiten zu enthüllen. In einer Zeit des Scheidewegs zwischen Enthüllung und Verschwörung war die Bibel noch nie so relevant wie heute.

UFOs, Ghosts, And A Rising God: Debunking The Resurrection Of Jesus

At the dawn of the 21st century, interest in the origins of Christianity is as strong as ever. However, discussion tends to be dominated by Evangelicals who assume that the Bible is a historically accurate record, and those who would turn Jesus into a New Age guru. There is also a frequent insistence that the questions surrounding the origins of Christianity are beyond rational analysis. In UFOs, Ghosts, and a Rising God, Chris Hallquist examines what investigations of similar upstart cults have revealed, and then applies these revelations to the origins of the world's largest religion.

UN PORCELLINO D'INDIA PER COLAZIONE

Epilogo A volte mi guardo intorno e tutto quello che vedo è un bisogno enorme; tanti bambini che non vanno a scuola, malati e sofferenti, tante morti, incidenti e tragedie. La mia mente e il mio cuore non possono sopportare tutto. Non posso aiutarli tutti. Quello che posso fare è davvero poco. Ma posso fare la differenza per qualcuno, trovare uno sponsor al prossimo bambino, costruire una casa per la prossima famiglia, curare un’ulcera al prossimo paziente. Posso fare la differenza per loro. Per tutti non posso. Tutti noi possiamo aiutare le persone che attraversano il nostro cammino. E ogni persona la cui vita abbiamo il privilegio di toccare è un prezioso figlio di Dio. Anche se abbiamo solo un bicchiere d'acqua da dargli, Gesù sa che lo stiamo facendo per lui. Quindi continuiamo a farlo. Non dimentichiamolo. Non stanchiamoci di farlo. Continuiamo a venire per Lui che ci dona l'amore e la forza per andare avanti, per continuare ad amare, per continuare ad aiutare. Non so cosa troverò nella prossima curva. Non so cosa il domani mi porterà. Viviamo giorno dopo giorno, fidandoci di Dio per soddisfare le nostre esigenze mentre proseguiamo lungo il cammino. Ma so che sarà sempre con noi. Sono così grata per essere stata tanto fortunata. Ma so che i poveri sono sempre con noi. Mentre Dio mi concede la forza, continuerò a servirli come meglio posso. Unisciti a me per servirlo.

UNESCO, Religious Cultural Heritage and Political Contestation: Conflict of Values or Values in Conflict? (Culture and Religion in International Relations)

This book offers an innovative study of UNESCO's religious heritage and nomination mechanisms. In particular, it shows how these processes can easily become instruments of power politics, undermining the neutrality and impartiality of the nomination processes. This is particularly true where political contestation for the exercise of sovereign authority over the site is politically contested and the competing claims are primarily based on shared cultural and religious narratives, which both sides in the dispute use to assert their claims. In this respect, religious heritage, both in its tangible and intangible dimensions, is the subject of national and global decisions that have political, cultural and religious implications. Starting from this premise, the book aims to show that the global regulatory framework and institutional decisions in the field of religious heritage are not neutral, but are determined by political discourses and agendas of governments and UNESCO.

Each section is preceded by a short introduction. A post-script provides a serious debate about the future of US Jewry and its position and role among World Jewry. This volume appeals to students and researchers working in Jewish Studies.

Ubuntu and Western Monotheism: An Axiological Investigation (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)

This book offers a unique comparative study of ubuntu, a dominant ethical theory in African philosophy, and western monotheism. It is the first book to bring ubuntu to bear on the axiology of theism debate in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. A large motivating force behind this book is to explore the extent to which there is intersubjective ethical agreement and disagreement between ubuntu and Western worldviews like monotheism and naturalism. First, the author assesses the various arguments for anti-theism and pro-theism on the assumption that ubuntu is true. Ubuntu’s communitarian focus might be so different from the Western tradition that it completely changes how we evaluate theism and atheism. Second, the author assesses the advantages and disadvantages of the truth of ubuntu for the world. Third and finally, he assesses the axiological status of faith for both monotheism and ubuntu. Ubuntu and Western Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students specializing in philosophy of religion, African religion and philosophy, and religious ethics.

Uhrautumisen Voima

Uhrautumiset ovat tehokkaita. Erittäin tehokkaita! Rikkain mies, vahvin mies, kaikkein siunatuimmat miehet ja naiset, viisaimmat, mahtavin kuningas, kaikkein vaikutusvaltaisimmat profeetat olivat uhrautuvia miehiä ja naisia. He antoivat kaiken, riskeerasivat kaiken kansansa vuoksi, inhimillisyyden ja Jumalan vuoksi saavuttaakseen tavoitteensa ja urotyönsä, josta jopa ikuisuus olisi ylpeä. Jos haluat tulla mahtavaksi, sinun täytyy ensin tulla uhrautuvaksi mieheksi/naiseksi. Kaikki on mahdollista niille, jotka pystyvät maksamaan hinnan. Tulet huomaamaan näiden hyvin paljastavien lukujen - Uhrautumisen Voima, Uhraa Vain Omasi, Kuljen Egyptin Kautta, Maksan Hinnan, Seuraa Minua! Tulimme Sinun Vuoksi, Minä suojelen Sinua, Keitä Viimeinen Ateria, Pelastamisen Voima, Ylistäminen, Rukous ja Paasto. Emme ole vain keskustelleet Raamatun suurten miesten ja naisten uhrauksista ja kuinka heidän tekonsa tekivät heistä suuria, vaan myös sellaisista ihmisistä kuin Israelin 'Yoni' Netanyahu; nuori israelilainen, joka johti kommandoyksikköä pelastamaan juutalaiset panttivangit, joita pidettiin Entebben lentokentällä heidän koneensa tultua kaapatuksi ja ohjatuksi Ugandaan vuonna 1976. Katselimme myös joitakin meidän sotasankareita, erityisesti Erikoisjoukkojen - kuten SEAL, Delta -yksikkö. Nämä miehet antoivat kaikkensa, riskeerasivat jatkuvasti kaiken, myös elämänsä puolustaakseen kansaansa ja inhimillisyyttä. He uhrasivat elämänsä suojellakseen muita. Jeesus sanoi, että suurin uhraus ihmiselle on, että antaa oman henkensä toisten vuoksi. Me osoitamme kunnioituksemme heille. He opettavat meille mitä uhrautumisen pitäisi olla. Jeesus kertoi, että mikä uhraus on suurempi kuin mies, joka antaa henkensä ystäviensä vuoksi? Me ylistämme heidän rohkeuttaan ja äärimmäistä isänmaallisuutta. Tässä, me opimme uskon uhrauksista, ystävällisyydestä, isänmaallisuudesta, rukouksesta, paastoamisesta ja ylistämisest�
