The Holy Spirit 592 Scriptures Examined

(Formerly titled "The Holy Spirit in 365 Scriptures," with the 365 referring to passages, sometimes with several verses.) There are numerous books on the Holy Spirit, but they are based on only a few Bible verses. This study was not done to prove the author's or anyone else's pet assessment of the Holy Spirit. The study was made with the desire to forget all pre-conceived notions and opinions, and discover only God's opinion. The Bible has 592 verses on the Holy Spirit and God's Spirit. This is the only book of its kind to cover all verses. All other books take a few ideas about the Holy Spirit and elaborate on them. To make sense out of all 592 verses, they were categorized according to what you see in the table of contents in this book the types of people affected by the Holy Spirit. Within each category, are sub-categories, usually based on how the Holy Spirit connected with each person, and how each person reacted. The same subcategory terms will sometimes appear in each category of the people the Holy Spirit affected. At first those little words may seem to have no special significance. But as you progressed through them, you will see that even little words like "within" and "upon," and "full" sometimes had big significance. All those word studies prepare you for the even more dynamic later chapters in the book. The study is based on the New King James Version of the Bible. Read through these chapters, not to prove what you already believe, but with an open mind and heart that perhaps you don't believe in enough things the Holy Spirit does, or you believe in more things than the scriptures actually teach. Let us be careful that we do not go beyond what is written (I Corinthians 4:6). Now, let us gear up for all things God's Holy Spirit does, and get ready to be amazed.

Do you have a lady friend who is under stress or even hurting? Inside the Hearts of Bible Women is a series of twelve short stories to help women understand some of the more serious problems and challenges facing us in our modern age, just as women did thousands of years ago. Unbeknown to you, a seemingly stable lady friend may be going through any of these problems right now. Most such problems are not normally discussed openly, but we should not pretend they do not exist. Let us not wait until ~ God forbid ~ you or a relative are thrust into one or more of these problems before figuring out possible ways to handle them. Prepare now by going Inside the Hearts of Bible Women. Three sets of discussion questions represent (a) the woman before the problem arose, (b) being hurled into the throes of the problem, (c) her efforts to pull out of the problem. There are no right or wrong answers. How would you handle having to move over and over as Sarah did? Do you think you’d have the courage to publicly stand against homosexuality, or do you always find it easier to just go along for the sake of peace as Lot’s wife did? What if two of your grown children had a falling out and refused to speak to each other for years as happened to Rebecca? Would you fall apart completely if all your children were killed in one day, your husband lost his income, or he became grotesquely ill ~ all of which faced Job’s wife? Could you face loss of a husband in death, and then change religions and countries as did Ruth? Is it possible to keep your sanity while living with an abusive husband as did Abigail? Have friends tried to convince you that it is possible to harmlessly reach the spirit world as Endora experienced? Can a woman truly return to a normal life after having been raped as Tamar had been through incest? Is forgiveness possible when a spouse commits adultery over and over throughout marriage as Gomer did to Hosea? What about hiding one’s religion, then finding the courage to step out and be counted as Queen Esther experienced? Are you haunted with adult ADD and can’t seem to get anything done, despite working all day as was Martha’s fate? Do you think you can remain loyal to Jesus and his Body through thick and thin as loyal Priscilla did? Let us prepare ourselves now while we are thinking clearly. Let us march confidently into that unknown future, our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of truth (Ephesians 6:15). Thus, we can courageously and assertively face anything!

Revelation is not a book of gloom and doom. It is a book of hope. A book of reassurance that, no matter how bad things get in the world, God is still in control and still loves us like light shimmering in the soul. . It was written during a time when Christians were losing jobs and homes, friends and family. During a time when Christians were being imprisoned, tortured, and killed. They were laying everything on the line for Jesus. Everything! They needed hope. They needed this love letter. . This is a history of the world before Jesus was born, especially the world of the Israelites. It is also an account of Jesus birth, ministry, and death. It ends with the final doom of Satan and the final victory of the church, the heavenly Jerusalem. After all, does not chapter 1, verse 19 state that John was to “write, therefore, what you have seen [past], what is now [present], and what will take place later [future]”? . The scriptures always interpret themselves; therefore, the author takes you through each scene with applicable background scriptures to magnify the meaning with unique clearness. . This is God’s last love letter to the world. He has done everything possible to help us escape hell, including offering his only begotten son to die in our place. We are his children. He loves us and does not want us to be hurt. He tells of the overwhelming joy he can give those who accept his Son as Lord of their life. He also tells us that, if we become Christians, he will protect us as he always protected his children in the past. This is one last reassurance. One last love letter from God. . Cast aside all the horror stories you have been told about Revelation. View it now with fresh new eyes, be awed, and be showered with God’s love.

Other than the Apostle Paul mentioning Titus name on several occasions, there is nothing about Titus in the scriptures. The author deduced that Paul used him as an arbitrator among churches. This novel is based on that premise. . Titus is a brilliant attorney who solves unsolvable mysteries. Then he meets the Apostle Paul and becomes a Christian. Corinth—full of wild sailors, temple prostitutes, wealthy investors. Crete—infamous for pirates, slave auctions, earthquakes. Dalmatia—with its barbarians, undead, and evil dragons. . Titus is an aristocrat, born of privilege, surrounded by luxury in the family palatio, and graduate of the university at Pergamum. His father is the supreme judge of Antioch and Flamin of Apollo, while his mother is Flaminica of Apollo’s Muses. He is a brilliant attorney solving unsolvable crimes and healing impossible relationships. His ambition is to become important like his father and qualify for the purple border on his own white toga. . His career spirals upward as he defends his clients and solves crimes. . Then he meets the apostle Paul and becomes a Christian. Paul sends him to places where he does not fit in to use his unique talent as arbitrate between arch enemies and impossible situations. . What does aristocrat Titus endure to carry out the apostle’s assignments? Discussion questions at end of book for each chapter which can be used in book clubs and classes or personal reflection.

If you want to know what is in Sharia Law, this book quotes it. Sharia Law comes from the Quran. “Christianity or Islam: The Contrast” was written to help Christians understand Islam, and Muslims understand Christianity. It is not ABOUT the two religions but quotes DIRECTLY from the scriptures of both groups so the reader can know personally what they teach instead of relying on rumors. Quotes from the Qu’ran and New Testament (Injil) of the Bible cover the same topics for comparison purposes. THESE QUOTES ARE FROM SHARIA LAW. Many Muslims and Non-Muslims do not realize these things are in the Qur’an. *Do Christians really claim God had to have a wife in order to have a son? *Do Christians really claim there are three Gods? *Was the Bible really corrupted? *Is the God of the Muslims the same as the God of the Christians? *These questions and more are answered inside these pages. Take the challenge and find out for yourself. Give this book to a Muslim friend.

The fourth century was different than the previous centuries due to two big heresies. The first one was the heresy of Arius, who denied the divinity of the Son. This heresy led to the Council of Nicaea in 325 in which the church fathers affirmed the divinity of the Son of one substance with the Father. The second heresy was that of the Tropici, who denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit and said that the Holy Spirit was a creature or an angel. At that time, Athanasius was one of the most important leaders in the life of the church. He wrote against the Tropici, as he addressed them in his letters to Serapion. These letters are the major work of Athanasius concerning the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Truth explains the way that Athanasius dealt with the heresy and elucidates the pneumatology of Athanasius's use of the Gospel of John and 1 John. It also discusses Athanasius's understanding of tradition, Scripture, and hermeneutical principles in his defense of the Godhead, particularly the divinity of the Holy Spirit. For Athanasius, the Holy Spirit is eternal, divine, uncreated, and one with the Father and the Son.
