8ed Der Beobachter der Genesis: Die Wissenschaft hinter der Schöpfungsgeschichte
by Alberto CanenDie Genesis ist seit Tausenden von Jahren ein Rätsel. Niemand war in der Lage zu verstehen, wovon der Text sprach, ob er nur ein einleitendes Gedicht zur Heiligen Schrift war oder ob er tatsächlich Informationen über die Schöpfung enthielt. Der Text der Genesis spaltet bis heute die Gemüter von Kreationisten und Wissenschaftlern. Mit diesem Buch hoffe ich, diese Trennung zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Kreationisten aufzuweichen, denn ich habe den Schlüssel entdeckt, der beide Welten vereint. Ich denke, der Schlüssel zum Geheimnis der Genesis liegt darin, zu verstehen, dass sie von jemandem erzählt wird. Einem Erzähler der Genesis. Jemand, der die Vision, die Gott ihm gibt, beobachtet und von dort aus erzählt, was er beobachtet, und er beobachtet es von seinem menschlichen und irdischen Standort aus. Dieser irdische und genaue Standort ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Genesis.

95 Theses: Sermon On Indulgences And Grace, 95 Theses (Treasures Of The Taylorian: Reformation Pamphlets Ser. #Vol. 2)
by Martin LutherThe sixteenth-century document that changed the course of Christianity. Monk and theology professor Martin Luther found himself in disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church on the subject of indulgences—certificates sold by the Church that promised to spare their owners from punishment for their sins. With his 95 Theses, Luther proposed a debate on the subject, but ultimately, he was excommunicated and the Protestant Reformation began. This is both a religious document and a historical one—a turning point that marked a challenge to papal authority, set off political conflicts and bloody war in Europe, and led to the remarkable variety of Christian denominations and sects that exist in the world today.
950 oraciones para sobreponerse al espiritu de las bendiciones retrasadas
by Pedro Pablo Perez AgueroEl espíritu de las bendiciones retrasadas y detenidas es un espíritu terrible. Cualquier persona afligida no podrá lograr nada en la vida. Siempre están en la última línea para lograr algo, el último en casarse, y el último en ascender, el último en ser admitido en universidades o colegios, el último en tener hijos. Más vale que se les llame último hermano o última hermana. Siempre son los últimos en lograr un gran avance en la vida. Este libro contiene 950 poderosas oraciones que pondrán fin a las bendiciones retrasadas y detenidas en su vida. Si puede responder afirmativamente a una o todas las preguntas siguientes, entonces este libro es para usted. ¿Está esperando un ascenso en su oficina, pero aún no ha llegado? ¿Es usted lo suficientemente maduro como para casarse, pero aún no ha encontrado la pareja adecuada? ¿Está buscando admisión a la universidad o colegio, pero su solicitud está siendo rechazada, a pesar de que este es su quinto intento? ¿Le está tomando 20 años completar o comprar la casa de sus sueños, a pesar del hecho de que usted está poniendo más esfuerzos? ¿Esperas un milagro o un gran avance en cualquier área de tu vida pero no se está manifestando? ¿Está esperando un contrato pero la aprobación ha sido rechazada varias veces y se da cuenta de que a sus colegas que no son lo suficientemente buenos en el trabajo se les están adjudicando los contratos destinados a usted? ¿Su negocio se está arrastrando: más de 20 años lo ha establecido, pero aún no es una mejora? ¿Está gestionando una empresa de la Agencia, por ejemplo, una agencia inmobiliaria, un agente de compensación y expedición, etc., pero en lugar de que los clientes se acerquen por negocios, están pasando lo que les pertenece a sus colegas? Quiero que sepan que el espíritu de la bendición retrasada y detenida no elimina la bendición, sino que simplemente los frustra al hacerla avanzar. ¿Tiene sentido si un gran avance que los
