What does Jesus have to say about violence, just war, and killing? Does Jesus ever want his disciples to kill in order to resist evil and promote peace and justice? This book by noted theologian and bestselling author Ronald J. Sider provides a career capstone statement on biblical peacemaking. Sider makes a strong case for the view that Jesus calls his disciples to love, and never kill, their enemies. He explains that there are never only two options: to kill or to do nothing in the face of tyranny and brutality. There is always a third possibility: vigorous, nonviolent resistance. If we believe that Jesus is Lord, then we disobey him when we set aside what he taught about killing and ignore his command to love our enemies. This thorough, comprehensive treatment of a topic of perennial concern vigorously engages with the just war tradition and issues a challenge to all Christians, especially evangelicals, to engage in biblical peacemaking. The book includes a foreword by Stanley Hauerwas.

New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

I met a Christian at Barnes & Noble & I told him these be the end times, & he said it was not true- for the Lord had said He would come back at a time when there was no faith on earth. He thought Jesus meant that there would be no Christianity on earth. What did the Lord mean?. Jesus talked about a widow that bothered a Judge to the point he relented, & that God Himself, if we bother Him enough will also relent & avenge Christianity. LK. 18:7" And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day & night unto Him, though He bear long with them? 8: I tell you He will avenge them speedily, Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on earth?" The next verse is critical for the Lord talks about what kind of faith He means. LK. 18:9 And He spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves to be righteous & despise others. Jesus goes on to give a parable about a Publican & a Pharisee. The Pharisee stood in the Temple before God & told God about all the good things he did. The Publican though stood before God & smote his chest & repented before God, that he was a sinner & asked for mercy. Lk 18:14" I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other. So the condemning Christian Right of today, namely, Evangelicals of the U.S.A., are condemning the rest of the population. So Jesus will not find the "faith" that is Christian when He returns, but a condemning, legalistic, Pharisee type Christianity will cover the earth. This is borne out because Jesus said the Church will be like a mustard seed, &it will grow& fill the earth & creatures will come live under its shadow, so Christianity will exist as a religion when Jesus returns, but it won't be pure. ( Note: Mt 13:33, Lk 13:20,21, means Christianity is like leaven & will only be a third of the earth when Christ comes back)(2,3 billion Christians on earth today,1/3 of the earths population, so this is the end times) Also the Christian Right have the leaven of Herod'. The leaven of Herod is Nationalism mixed in with religion. The leaven of the Pharisees is hypocrisy mixed with religion. Now for the Left- they are into Love. But they confused Agape & Philly love with Erotic love. The Church preaches Agape love and Philly or friendship love. But LGBT is Erotic love. The christian Left fell by the wayside on something as simple as that. The KJV writers were not stupid in writing "Charity" instead of love in 1Corinthians 13:1-13, this is a great error of the Christian Left. So all those bumper stickers of hippies & yuppies saying "Love won" are talking about "Erotic love," which is the lust of the flesh & hedonism. Christianity is all about " Charity"- that is what the Bible means by Christian love, not sex. This is why Iam a Socially Conservative Democrat& fiscally liberal. The mainstream Christian Left is "fiscally liberal." Cheer up Christian Left & Christian right, you know Jesus always corrects whom He loves. IWhen the Christian left & Christian right compete- Jesus wins. Mt.13:33 says Christianity will be 1/3 of the earths population at the S. Coming, but 2/3of the earths population will be saved.Rev chpt 9. This years Passover& Nisan month are critical. Look up, your redemption draweth near. It would be really great if Jesus came down on Palm Sunday 2018 Triumphal entry? This Easter, Passover, should be remembered. Today is Jan. 27/2018

It is not uncommon in biblical history for God to use the unqualified, the uneducated, and the uncooperative to do His will. He has provided direction and revelation for such people for the express purpose of bringing glory to Himself and His plan. Here I am, fulfilling all three of the undesirable human characteristics for the express purpose of bringing Jesus glory. After one receives Jesus as Lord and Savior, a hunger to read the Bible soon follows. The more I learned and grew, the more questions sprouted during my Christian growth. Big personal questions followed, and I wanted big personal answers. I believe many of us have similar questions too. This book answers not only the title question but more questions than just the ones listed below: 1. Would Jesus really erase someone's name from His book of Life? And if so, why? 2. God gave humanity free will, but are there limits to one's free will? 3. Can one really renounce one's salvation? 4. How do the Ten Commandments apply to believers in Jesus and His new covenant? What are the differences between the two covenants? How do those differences apply to one's life? 5. If I am forgiven of all my sins, do I still pay for my sins? 6. If Jesus forgave all my sins, what will I be judged for? 7. I believe my past sins are forgiven, but what about today's and tomorrow's sins? 8. Do I have to confess all my sins till the day I die? What if I forget to confess a sin? 9. Is it right that we're taught we are saved by grace in the new covenant but then we must live by obedience to the Ten Commandments in the old covenant? What chance of success do we have of that since Jesus is the only person to never break a single law and never sin? 10. What happens when I deliberately sin? 11. How did Jesus define sin differently than Moses?

In If Jesus Is the Answer, What Is the Question?, Dr. Genova reflects on six important questions, each posed by God to his people in the Hebrew scriptures. God asks these questions because we need to examine our own experiences and to use our reason to gain an improved understanding of God, ourselves, our community, and our interrelationships. The questions are: --Who is your Lord? --Who are you? --What do you need? --Do you understand? --What will God do? --How will you respond? Seek each question and the dialogue with God recounted in the Old Testament. Continue into the Gospels as Jesus asks these same questions. As Jesus said, "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life" (John 5: 39-40).

Jesus and the Book of Acts are the standard of Normal Christianity. Remember the fad a few years ago when people wore bracelets reminding them, “What Would Jesus Do?” Christians state that Jesus is the example of how to live, yet this has been limited in many cases to how we view our moral character. When Christians tell me that they want to live like Jesus, I like to ask if they have multiplied food, healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead, paid their taxes with fish money, calmed storms, and so forth. I typically receive bewildered looks, but that’s what it is like to live like Jesus!Perhaps we are ignoring a large portion of what living like Jesus really includes. While I agree that we are to live like Jesus, “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6 NLT). I am also aware that the application of Jesus’ model has been minimized to something that can be accomplished by living a moral life. Many Christians believe that they can live like Jesus without ever operating in the supernatural. After reading in the Bible about all of the miracles He performed, does that sound right to you?

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Finding Jesus is a compilation of testimonies when Jesus has spoken to me, whether in dreams or awake through His Holy Spirit. In 1 John 4:2, it says that if a spirit confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. Jesus said to me, "I forgave you the day I died on the cross in Calvary." If you wonder how Jesus has sounded in my dreams or through His Holy Spirit, I will let you know that He sounds like the Father that He is, but He also sounds like the Father you have always known. I pray that this book inspires you to get closer to God. Jesus has a lot in store for those who love Him. Jesus said that if we seek Him with our whole heart, we will find Him. If you don't know God yet, I pray that you don't wait, seek Him now because the Bible, in Isaiah 55:6, it says, "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near." Also, in 1 Timothy 2:5 it states, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

Many Christians think about heaven as a distant place we go after we die. But what if it's a very real kingdom available to us right now, here on earth? In What If Jesus Was Serious about Heaven?, Skye Jethani unpacks what Jesus really said about heaven and how it can transform our faith today. The fourth in Jethani's popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author's hand-drawn illustrations in each chapter. Jethani explores the importance of the kingdom of heaven in Jesus's ministry, message, and parables. In doing so, he redefines the popular understanding of heaven as a celestial home for the dearly departed and reimagines our role in God's kingdom here on earth. This book shows what Jesus and his first followers knew about heaven that we get wrong and helps us recapture what it means for God's kingdom to be present on earth right now.
