The Eternal Home of the Saved I N T R 0 D U C T I O N According to my research on church growth, I found that the greatest curriculum need of Christian education in the 80s is Bible doctrine written in the language of the people. Since a researcher ought to place confidence in the findings of his exploration, I determined to write a book on Bible doctrine for the average Christian. Also, my major in seminary was theology and I have taught that subject for over twenty years. A book on doctrine gave me an opportunity to put the results of my studies into print. First, I determined to write for contemporary Bible students, not for theologians. This meant I had to deal with the sophisticated and complicated issues facing modern Christians, without getting bogged down in ecclesiastical tangents or concerning myself with all the issues discussed in seminaries. I trust this is a simple book to understand as I have tried to explore the incomprehensible nature of God. It is still true that "profound truth is discovered in a simple expression." In the second place, I used selected theological words but tried to interpret them for the average layman by giving a biblical background, resulting in a definition. When the readers know correct theological terms, they have a basis for understanding the doctrine involved. In the third place, I have tried to make this book practical. Many times I have heard that theology dries up soul winning. Also it is said that theology may be true in the classroom but does not work in the church. I disagree with both of those statements. If doctrine is truly biblical, it will motivate the students to win souls for Jesus Christ. Also, if doctrine is presented correctly in the classroom, it is practical for the church. As a result, I tried to end each chapter with a practical section, applying the lesson to life. This book is adaptable for use in classes, in the Sunday school, or home Bible cells. There are fifty-two chapters, one for each week of the year. A daily Bible reading suggestion is tied to each chapter so that the serious student of Bible doctrine can cover every major doctrine in his daily devotional reading in one year. Finally, due credit must be given to two of my students at Liberty Baptist Seminary for their contribution to this manuscript. It is only coincidental that both are from Canada, but this fact only adds to my appreciation for their educational system. Mr. Douglas Porter worked on research and composition, while Miss Margaret Barr typed and retyped the manuscript. Mrs. Marie Chapman read the text critically to strengthen its contribution. May God use this book for its intended purpose. Elmer L. Towns ONE UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIANITY And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 11:26 INTRODUCTION Someone has said, "Christianity is Jesus Christ." That embryonic answer is an adequate description, but the problem is that many people do not understand who Jesus Christ is. The popular conception of Christ is not always correct. Even in the Scriptures, individuals did not always properly understand Christ. To illustrate, observe the two disciples on the road to Emmaus on the first Easter Sunday afternoon. They thought they knew Christ and were even discussing the events of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. But they were wrong in their understanding of him. When Jesus joined them and spoke to them, they did not recognize him because their eyes were blinded with unbelief (Luke 24:16, 31). These were his disciples who now were perplexed at the events of the morning. They had heard reports that someone had stolen his body or that he had disappeared. Obviously, these two disciples had apparent spiritual needs, just as many in today's world have needs. How Jesus met their needs, then, is an indication of how he meets needs today. Jesus began teaching these two disciples at the first books of the Bible (the Law) and surveyed Old Testament history to the last books (the Prophets). Some might think Jesus would have comforted them with a psalm or a devotional challenge. Instead, he met their needs by laying the foundation of biblical teaching. "He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27). The basis of his ministry to them was doctrine. The verb for "teaching" is the same root from which we get the word "doctrine." The church has the same mandate today; our lives and ministry must be based on sound doctrine. But most people are afraid of the word "doctrine." The world thinks that doctrine is dusty and irrelevant, or hidden in old theology books. But biblical doctrine is as spiritually alive as a new born-again Christian. It is as practical as a growing Sunday school and as enjoyable as reading a favorite text. Christian doctrine is similar to the wrench in a plumber's toolbox-it is there to fix something. Those who just keep the wrench shiny are similar to the theologian who is always perfecting his doctrine but does not apply it to his life or ministry. Others deny the "doctrine- wrench" illustration by saying, "That sermon is good in theory [doctrine] but it will never work in life." They are wrong. When true doctrine touches life, it is always practical. The Bible and doctrine walk hand in hand with practical Christianity. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim. 3:16, 17). Therefore, the purpose of Bible doctrine is the communication of the gospel to people at a point of need. The first section of this chapter will deal with the topic: What is man's point of need? The second topic in this section is, What is communication? The third section is, What is the Gospel? The answer to these questions formulate the necessity and function of doctrine. CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE SPEAKS TO THE POINT OF NEED All doctrine begins with God and has its eternal existence in God, but there was no need of doctrine until God created man. As soon as man was created, a need existed. Man was made in the image of God, which means among other things that he had the ability to reason. His intellectual ability reflects the thought processes of God. Man also had emotions, as expressed in the feelings of love and hate, to mention just two. Finally, man was a volitional being who could decide his own fate. So, when Satan came and tempted, "Ye shall be as gods," man, who had the ability to make a moral choice, fell into sin. Sin produced the greatest need in man and doctrine is the channel through which God told how he would meet that need. Man is cut off from God. Not only Adam and Eve, but everyone from that time forth was excluded from God's presence.

  • Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?
    2 Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? A Concise Compendium of the Many Internal and External Evidences of Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Publication Edition 1a, May 2008 Compiled by Raphael Christopher Lataster Edited by Ewan MacLeod Cover design by Stephen Meza © Copyright Raphael Christopher Lataster 2008 Foreword 3 Foreword A New and Powerful Tool in the Aramaic NT Primacy Movement Arises I wanted to set down a few words about my colleague and fellow Aramaicist Raphael Lataster, and his new book “Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?” Having written two books on the subject myself, I can honestly say that there is no better free resource, both in terms of scope and level of detail, available on the Internet today. Much of the research that myself, Paul Younan and so many others have done is here, categorized conveniently by topic and issue. What Raphael though has also accomplished so expertly is to link these examples with a simple and unambiguous narrative style that leaves little doubt that the Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is in fact the original that Christians and Nazarene-Messianics have been searching for, for so long. The fact is, when Raphael decides to explore a topic, he is far from content in providing just a few examples and leaving the rest to the readers’ imagination. Instead, Raphael plumbs the depths of the Aramaic New Testament, and offers dozens of examples that speak to a particular type. Flip through the “split words” and “semi-split words” sections alone and you will see what I mean.

Chadwick Thornhill* Emotionally motivated doubts concerning one’s religious faith can generate severe pain and anxiety in the life of a believer. These doubts may generate both emotional and physical problems that also significantly affect their health. Os Guinness in speaking of this type of doubt asserts, “no one is hurt more than the doubter. Afraid to believe what they want to believe, they fail to believe what they need to believe, and they alone are the losers.” 1 While recent Christian scholarship has begun to be more attentive to this issue as it pertains to addressing the emotional doubts of the church community, much more work needs to be done concerning this prevalent issue. One issue in particular which may motivate emotional doubt and permit it to fester is that of divine hiddenness, or the silence of God.

  • The Concept of Biblical Inspiration
    THE CONCEPT OF BIBLICAL INSPIRATION When the President of your Society graciously asked me to read a paper on the topic of biblical inspiration, he proposed that I review and assess the significant contributions made to it in con- temporary research, and that I suggest some areas in which work might profitably be done in the future. Accordingly, I shall simply devote the time at our disposal to these two points. With regard to the first, I believe that many new insights have been provided during the last decade by the studies of Pierre Benoit,1 Joseph Coppens,2 Karl Rahner,3 and Bernhard Brink- mann; * and I shall attempt to present their work in summary form. As regards further possible theological speculation, I wish to amplify a suggestion made recently by my colleague, the Reverend R. A. F. MacKenzie. "Since the theory of instrumental causality has been so usefully developed, and has done so much to clarify—up to a point—the divine-human collaboration in this mysterious and won- derful work, what is needed next is fuller investigation of the efficient and final causalities, which went to produce an OT or NT book." B You will have observed that, since the days of Franzelin and La- grange,6 treatises on inspiration have tended to emphasize the *Paul Synave-Pierre Benoit, La Prophétie, Éditions de la Revue des Jeunes, Paris-Tournai-Rome, 1947. Benoit has a shorter essay on inspiration in Robert-Tricot, Initiation Biblique? Paris, 1954, 6-45; for further modifi- cations of his theory, cf. "Note complémentaire sur l'inspiration," Revue Bib- lique 63 (1956) 416-422.

  • Original Monotheism: a Signal of Transcendence Challenging
    Liberty University Original Monotheism: A Signal of Transcendence Challenging Naturalism and New Ageism A Thesis Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Divinity in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Ministry Department of Christian Leadership and Church Ministries by Daniel R. Cote Lynchburg, Virginia April 5, 2020 Copyright © 2020 by Daniel R. Cote All Rights Reserved ii Liberty University School of Divinity Thesis Project Approval Sheet Dr. T. Michael Christ Adjunct Faculty School of Divinity Dr. Phil Gifford Adjunct Faculty School of Divinity iii THE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY THESIS PROJECT ABSTRACT Daniel R. Cote Liberty University School of Divinity, 2020 Mentor: Dr. T. Michael Christ Where once in America, belief in Christian theism was shared by a large majority of the population, over the last 70 years belief in Christian theism has significantly eroded. From 1948 to 2018, the percent of Americans identifying as Catholic or Christians dropped from 91 percent to 67 percent, with virtually all the drop coming from protestant denominations.1 Naturalism and new ageism increasingly provide alternative means for understanding existential reality without the moral imperatives and the belief in the divine associated with Christian theism. The ironic aspect of the shifting of worldviews underway in western culture is that it continues with little regard for strong evidence for the truth of Christian theism emerging from historical, cultural, and scientific research. One reality long overlooked in this regard is the research of Wilhelm Schmidt and others, which indicates that the earliest religion of humanity is monotheism. Original monotheism is a strong indicator of the existence of a transcendent God who revealed Himself as portrayed in Genesis 1-11, thus affirming the truth of essential elements of Christian theism and the falsity of naturalism and new ageism.

  • ABSTRACT on Science and Atheism: Whether Atheistic Belief Is
    ABSTRACT On Science and Atheism: Whether Atheistic Belief is Scientifically Motivated Charles L. Jester Director: Gerald Cleaver, Ph.D. The intent of this paper is to explore the motivation behind the rejection of theistic religious faiths by modern atheist scientists, and whether it is justified to claim that this rejection is scientifically motivated. First, a brief background of the development of the contemporary schism between faith and science is given, noting in particular changes in belief amongst the scientific community. Next, an exposition on the motivations for scientists’ convictions concerning God is laid out, followed by an address to the question of whether atheistic scientists reject all properties of God, or only certain of them. Based on analyses of personal statements, statistical data on beliefs, and developments in twentieth-century physics and mathematics, it is concluded that modern scientists who reject theism are not overwhelmingly motivated by science, and that they in fact do not reject all ideas of God.
