Inference To The One True God

There are so many religions in the world that it can be confusing for a spiritual seeker to figure out which, if any, are true. There are as many gods in mythology as there are people to believe in them. In fact, one of the common retorts from atheists when talking to Christians is "Why do you believe your God is real while thinking all these other gods are false?" In this book, Christian Apologist and blogger Evan Minton gives evidence for the existence of the God of The Bible, and shows why it's rational to believe the God of Christianity while disbelieving in all others. Mr. Minton argues for the biblical God, using arguments that draw from a wide range of disciplines such as science, philosophy, and history. This book is a must for any spiritual seeker.

THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BIBLE, IT IS EXPRESSED THAT THERE IS A LIVING, TRUE GOD. HOWEVER, FROM TIME TO TIME, INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE READ THE BIBLE CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, WHILST OTHERS CONCLUDE THAT THERE ARE TWO OR THREE GODS. WHEN YOU READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL BE GUIDED AS TO THE TRUTH OF THESE STATEMENTS. The Bible declares that there is one true and living God. This was supported by the scribes, one of Jesus' greatest critics, in Mark 12:32. Previously, Jesus answered the question posed to him in Mark 12:28 when the scribe asked what the first commandment was, and Jesus quoted the verse in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (AKJV), "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." It was this same God who created the universe inclusive of human beings. Adam sinned and lost favor with God. According to the virgin birth, God became man in Chris Jesus- Emanuel, God with us-(Matthew 1:23). Through grace by Christ Jesus, Adam's fallen race has been redeemed through Jesus' blood on the cross of Calvary.

Western history would be unrecognizable had it not been for people who believed in One True God. There would have been wars, but no religious wars. There would have been moral codes, but no Commandments. Had the Jews been polytheists, they would today be only another barely remembered people, less important, but just as extinct as the Babylonians. Had Christians presented Jesus to the Greco-Roman world as ''another'' God, their faith would long since have gone the way of Mithraism. And surely Islam would never have made it out of the desert had Muhammad not removed Allah from the context of Arab paganism and proclaimed him as the only God. The three great monotheisms changed everything. With his customary clarity and vigor, Rodney Stark explains how and why monotheism has such immense power both to unite and to divide. Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? Why did both Christianity and Islam suddenly become less tolerant of Jews late in the eleventh century, prompting outbursts of mass murder? Why were the Jewish massacres by Christians concentrated in the cities along the Rhine River, and why did the pogroms by Muslims take place mainly in Granada? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert? Why did they sometimes assimilate? In the final chapter, Stark also examines the American experience to show that it is possible for committed monotheists to sustain norms of civility toward one another. A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world.

This book will enrich the reader with the knowledge of twenty to twenty-two religions in depth of their origin and their beliefs. As a Christian, one would ask, Why should I read this book? Well, the answer is simple. You dont know where you are going if you dont know where you come from. All religions come from the Eastern countries, but namely, Christianity is the only one that teaches about a deity (Lord Jesus) that saves souls. In this book, all the religions are compared to a certain extinct to enlighten the reader on scripture-based and prophecy-based teachings about the beginning of the world as well as the end of the world or, should I say, the coming of the Messiah.

Based on years of research about the mystery of the Trinity, Bible teacher Jean Carlson walks readers through this difficult doctrine using visual aids and scripture as examples of one source having three components. This most widely misunderstood Christian doctrine and the most difficult to explain is simplified and clear with each chapter sharing specific points on how God can be three in one. The last chapter shares frequently asked questions on the Trinity and gives scriptural answers on how Jesus can be equally God.
