Biblical Culture

Has God abandoned Israel? Has the Church “replaced” Israel? What does the Bible say? As we watch the world events, it is clear that Israel is following her prophetic scenario, and a new chapter is about to be written - and there may be a big surprise on our near horizon!

This audiobook is about the city which houses the mighty Ziggurat - the Biblical “Ur of the Chaldees” where Abraham was supposedly born. The site near which the earliest human cultures were found. The site which held the most glorious Sumerian Dynasty in ancient history. This is the story of the city that was destined to die and be reborn every millennium or so, a city full of intrigue, magnificence, tragedy, and glory.

Through thousands of years of interpreting the Bible through the lens of changing languages and societies, and varying regard to females and feminine qualities, the concept of God has become more and more male to the exclusion of God's female side of wisdom, mercy, grace, and nurture. Let us attempt to rediscover the truth and expand our understanding of the complete and perfect God. If God is our creator and we were made in the image of God, then God is both our father and our mother.

Does the Bible support slavery? In this audiobook, prominent Internet apologist James Patrick Holding tackles this question, analyzing Old and New Testament passages concerning slavery. He also has a look at how the Bible was used in America in the 1800s, both to support slavery and to argue against it.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

We are witnessing the end of Western Civilization. The present crisis in our culture is the greatest since the first century. Many commentators on the present scene believe that the entire world is moving into a period of neo-tribalism. In this striking book, theologian James B. Jordan argues that this cultural change is part of God's ongoing plan for humanity, the plan by which the Holy Spirit grows God's daughter, humanity, into a bride for His Son. The present crisis provides a tremendous opportunity for the Christian Church to challenge and transform the world as never before.

Ist das Leben durch Evolution entstanden oder hat Gott die Welt erschaffen? Kreationisten und z. B. die "Neuen Atheisten" um Richard Dawkins sind sich wenigstens darin einig, dass beides gleichzeitig nicht geht. Und viele Menschen, die sich vom christlichen Glauben angezogen fühlen, fragen sich daher: "Wie soll ich der Bibel glauben, wenn das bedeutet, dass ich die Wissenschaft ablehnen muss?" Aber ist das wirklich so? Muss man sich wirklich zwischen Wissenschaft und Religion entscheiden? Timothy Keller möchte sowohl glaubenden wie auch auch suchenden Menschen helfen, Wissenschaft und Glauben in Einklang zu bringen.

Jephthah and his daughter lived during the period of judges in Israel. The New Testament acknowledges him as a hero of faith. Nevertheless, his hasty and ill-considered speech resulted in a tragic loss for him and his daughter. Walking through this experience inspires us to reconsider and improve how we speak.

Joseph McCabe (1867-1955) was a Catholic priest and scholar who abandoned his faith in the 1890s and later became a very prominent secular activist. He published over 250 books and pamphlets, covering a wide range of genres, including history, politics, biography, and popular science.

King David, the second king of Israel, is a pivotal figure in biblical history. David is legendarily known for defeat of the giant Goliath. His life, spanning approximately 1040-970 BCE, was marked by significant events that shaped the Israelite kingdom. David's rise to power was unprecedented, as he transitioned from a humble shepherd to a mighty king. This transformation was facilitated by his exceptional leadership skills, military prowess, and divine favor.

Perfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a “World’s Best Mom” or “No. 1 Dad” coffee mug, they want it to be true. And...

Does the term “Gentiles” refer to all non-Jews or is that just the lie we’ve been sold to cover up the truth? Who were the Gentiles, and where are they now? What role do they play in Bible prophecy, and where are we at on the prophetic countdown clock? Believe it or not, the Bible tells us exactly who the Gentiles are, where they are, and what’s about to happen when their time is up. Unfortunately, it is too often ignored. We’re about to get into some deep and controversial but pure Biblical truth, in this enlightening audiobook.

Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis der drei großen Weltreligionen Christentum, Islam ist in den medialen Diskussionen allgegenwärtig. Es ist vom "Kampf der Kulturen" die Rede, von Interreligiosität (was aber genau ist das?), v.a. aber von politischen Problemen und Konflikten, die mit religiösen, ethnischen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen eng verknüpft sind. Doch liegt es nicht nahe, zu allererst die Urdokumente der Religionen, ihre Heiligen Schriften nämlich, zu befragen und nach Besonderheiten, Charakteristika und Gemeinsamkeiten abzuklopfen?

Wissen, was stimmt, wenn es um die Bibel geht, den Weltbestseller schlechthin! Weltweit sind von den Bibelgesellschaften im Jahr 2006 über 25,7 Millionen Exemplare abgegeben worden - einschließlich Teilbibeln sind es fast 400 Millionen. Doch Rekorde hält die Bibel nicht nur, was ihre quantitative Verbreitung angeht. Wie kein zweites Buch beeinflusst sie die Kulturen der Welt. Seit bald zwei Jahrtausenden prägt der Bibelgebrauch von Judentum und Christentum Teile des Vorderen Orients und Europa.

Several people's lives are described in the Bible, but only a few number are particularly mentioned as having lived for more than 300 years. When their descendants are brought together, there are some people whose ages are listed as being older than this cutoff. These are 10 such people.

Before the fall, Adam and Eve walked in perfect communion with Yahweh, fully aware of their identity and purpose. But after disobedience, they hid from Yahweh, signaling a loss of intimacy and a shift in their self-perception. Anxiety crept in, followed by alienation—not just from Yahweh but from their own true selves (The Authentic Man). This "spiritual amnesia" meant forgetting who they were in relation to their Creator, leading humanity into generations of identity struggles (The Fictional Man).

The text known as "Second Enoch," was discovered in 1886 by Professor Sokolov in the archives of the Belgrade Public Library. The Second Book of Enoch, or 2 Enoch was written in the latter half of the first century A.D. but had gone through alterations and additions to make it more acceptable to the Christian community. It was written in Slavonic, but had evidence of being translated from another language.

Nimrod is arguably one of the most important people in the early parts of the Old Testament, but there is very little said about him in scripture overall. However, what is said changes the entire course of human history, mostly because of where he was from. Nimrod was the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham, and the great grandson of Noah.

Issus de "l'étincelle divine", nous sommes tous un fragment de la force créatrice de Dieu le Père et Dieu la Mère. Si notre cerveau possède deux hémisphères, l'un masculin, l'autre féminin, il en va de même du miroir de la création. Notre Père, co-créateur de l'univers, immobile et imperturbable, est pur intellect, alors que Dieu la Mère est le dieu émotif et actif qui peut "interférer" avec notre plan de vie.
