As a result of extreme tolerance for every worldview and religious pluralism, people – including Christians – often ignore or misapply Biblical standards in their daily life. This comes down to the difference between belief about God and actually living by His design, which can be disorienting to both believers and nonbelievers because of our overly saturated religious creeds. CONFUSING FAITH presents well-rounded perspectives and resolutions to some of the most common issues we face in overcoming this dilemma such as: • Christian clichés • Unbelief as a default status • Spiritual immaturity • Our carnal hearts • Misguided leadership and teachings • The unending “sin-repent-repeat” cycle • Misconceptions about faith • Misapplication of some Biblical principles This book aims to remove sugar-coating and make-believing that are deeply rooted in the mainstream Christianity. By iterating basic spiritual facts taken from the Bible, Author Lemuel Manalon seeks to address these spiritual uncertainties for the purpose of mending and empowering the readers’ personal approach with God as the actual “statement of faith.”

In an interview with Christianity Today in 2012, Ed Stetzer shared that according to Lifeway research among young adults who had attended church regularly for at least a year in high school, 70% stop attending regularly for at least a year between ages 18-22. However, 35% of these had returned to attending twice a month or more by the time they were surveyed for the study. This means that about 4 out of 10 kids leave the church and NEVER RETURN. Here is how leading experts describe our church kids today: They are unarmed and incapable of defending their faith. They possess a faith that cannot withstand the scrutiny of trials or intellectual questions. They have a shallow belief system. They lack a robust faith. They haven’t learned how to think. They are embarrassingly ignorant of our faith. Truth Matters is written directly to this audience, arming them with well-reasoned responses to the accusations that are most likely to appear in their lives, either as upcoming lecture notes and test questions or as inner qualms and questions. Things like: What gives the Bible any authority or credibility? Where is God in a world full of suffering? Why should Christianity be any more believable than any other religious system? And many, many more. Easy to read yet loaded with meat and substance, this book is a level-headed reaction to those who equate Christian faith with “blind faith,” even those whose subtle or stated goal is to separate students from their religious traditions. Readers will discover the kind of historical information and thinking skills that build a sturdy backbone of confidence in high schoolers and young adults, making them able to defend by “reasoned faith” what the Bible claims as truth. Loosely organized around the theological skepticism of New York Times bestselling author (and southern college educator) Bart Ehrman, this jam-packed counterclaim is a book that parents will want to buy for their kids, a book that youth and student leaders will want to work through one-on-one and in discipleship groups—a book that could prove a lifesaver for young minds and hearts everywhere.

What is God? Does he exist? Can we know? The God Confusion offers a down-to-earth beginner's guide for anyone interested in these questions. It does not evangelize for God and religion or, indeed, for atheism, secularism and science. Instead, it explores in a witty yet objective and balanced way the idea of God and the strengths and weaknesses of the standard arguments for his existence. Gary Cox shows that the philosophical reasoning at the heart of these arguments is logically incapable of moving beyond speculation to any kind of proof. The only credible philosophical position is therefore agnosticism. The God Confusion defends science generally and the theory of evolution in particular. It argues that if religion is not to appear increasingly outdated and ridiculous in the eyes of free-thinking, educated people, it must accommodate science and accept that science has replaced the old God of the gaps as an explanation of natural phenomena. Concluding that God may or may not exist, on the grounds that science, philosophy and theology are inherently incapable of proving or disproving his existence, The God Confusion acknowledges that religious faith based on a deliberate commitment to live as though there is a moral God is a coherent notion and a worthwhile, even prudent enterprise. At the same time, it rejects the idea of inner certainty as mere wishful thinking, arguing that it is not a coherent basis for belief and is simply bad faith.

In this frank, funny, and often challenging memoir about life in and out of the church, twenty-something Patton Dodd reveals his quest for an authentic experience of God. On his journey he attempts to pinpoint and justify his belief in God, first with the fervent absolutes that characterize a new believer’s faith but then with a growing awareness of the cultural complexities that define his faith and encompass his understanding of Christianity. When a spiritual awakening in his last year of high school wrenches Dodd out of his rebellious party days, he embarks on a quest for God. He exchanges pot smoking for worship dancing, gives up MTV for Christian pop, and enrolls at a Christian university. Soon, however, he finds himself ill at ease with the other Christians around him and with the cloying superficiality of the Christian subculture. Dodd tells his story in contradictory terms—conversion and confusion, acceptance and rejection, spiritual highs and psychological lows. With painstaking honesty, he tries to negotiate a relationship with his faith apart from the cultural trappings that often clothe it. Dodd’s moving story paints a nuanced and multilayered portrait of an earnest quest for God: the hunger for genuine faith, the bleak encounters with doubt, and the consuming questions that challenge the intellect and the soul. This is a story that will resonate with the emerging generation of young adults attempting to break new ground within their own faith tradition.

There is only one single reason why Christianity is the most confusing & corrupted religion in the world. That only one single reason is “Christianity took the whole Christian Bible as ONE UNIFIED WORD OF GOD.” Sad to say, there are THREE MAJOR SETS OF BOOKS in the bible that are highly contradictory to each other that if you combine them into one unified Word of God, it will generate a thousand and one questions, confusions, and contradictions, enough to make Christianity as the most confusing & corrupted religion in the world. What are these three major sets of books in the bible that are highly contradictory to each other and just cannot be combined into one? They are—the PENTATEUCH OF MOSES, the GOSPEL OF JESUS, and the EPISTLES OF PAUL. Happy reading!

Christianity: The End of Spiritual Confusion unlocks the hidden mystery of Christianity. It biblically brings the almost forgotten Christian Covenant to the forefront of the reader's mind. It helps the reader to fully understand the confusion that currently exists within the faith. This book challenges its reader to examine the many false beliefs, erroneous teachings, and practices in the faith, such as the false belief that an angel whose name is Jehovah is God Almighty and the false practice of paying tithes instead of giving. It makes a compelling case for Jesus Christ, as the only author and finisher of the Christian faith. On this premise, the author makes the bold move to introduce his ground breaking 'Psycho dynamics' theory of human behavior as well as his C-rule concept. Going beyond any controversy, this book biblically answers the existential question surrounding the chosen beloved Jewish people on the face of the earth from the Christian perspective. It is indeed a lifeline for a reader who loves to investigate the truth that makes one free while living his or her everyday life.

The goal of this book is to dismantle the confusion ravaging the Christian faith today causing believers to be unproductive in their faith, unclear in their minds, and without a personal sense of divine direction or purpose. The ideas in this book are controversial. They will challenge believers from all denominations and tribes because they address long-held theological positions, some of which produce enormous confusion and stifle healthy Christian spirituality. This book presents a new paradigm that addresses theological confusion which has overshadowed the church for centuries. The truths that comprise this paradigm are not new. They have been in the scriptures all along but we could not see them because of the massive confusion generated by seeds of deception which the enemy has planted along the way.

Have you ever had a thought that there maybe life in other planets? Don't forget that our earth is only 4.7 billion years and much younger than this universe that is inching towards 14 billion years. Do you think that there may be another universe? Do you believe in aliens? What about spaceships and UFO? Perhaps, the UFOs and aliens have been visiting our planet and we don't know about it. Perhaps, some of us knows about the aliens and UFOs but are keeping it to ourselves because we don't want to be laughed at. It could be naïve on our part to think that we are the only life in the universe. Reports of UFO sightings occur from time to time though some sightings science cannot explain. No book has explained more about aliens and UFOs than the holy books. The holy books explained spaceships. The Prophet Ezekiel also told us about these airships. Did you miss the biblical mentions of the spaceships too? The Gods/aliens were not hiding themselves from our forefathers who likened these aliens to God and Satan, good and bad angels, and in some instances as monsters. The book of Enoch explained it all. The book even told us the names of the aliens and explained his flight in the spaceships. Prophet Enoch was not the only one who took a spin in the spaceships. A spaceships was described in a holy book to fly around the earth in one minute. All the above were science and technology. Not Faith. If the aliens moved by means of spaceships/airships,would that make them omnipresent or omniscience? Science and technology- yes but omnipresence--quality of being everywhere at the same instant--is not one of their characteristics. We as humans assigned those characteristics to the "Gods." Some people know that the Earth is 4.6 billion years by evidence through science. Some, also believe the earth is 6000 years by faith. One of the reasons for this work is to help channel some Bible readers and readers of books of other religious doctrines in the direction of logic and reason. The truth is that most readers have no idea how and what to believe, so they believe by faith. These ancient texts were produced by royal scribes and religious leaders in powerful economic and political positions and settings.They wrote to advocate and make legitimate, political or religious ideas and reforms so as to yield desired doctrines and ideologies. There is several illogical thinking when it comes to religion. We know according to religious books that: This/These God(s) created everything. Evil is a subsetof everything. Therefore, God created evil. When it becomes impossible to logically explain any given event, the bible believers resort to various methods to explain away illogical texts. Can religious dogma and its inherent confusion survive in the face of science and logic or is it doomed to the surfacing evidence revealing the workings of nature set in time by the Almighty Universal Creator who is sometimes referred to as Consciousness? Reading through the Bible and critically analyzing and connecting the dots, you too could come to have better understandings for the Bible's seemingly shocking inconsistencies and contradictions. These, among others, helped shape the viewpoint expressed in this book.
