The Three Pigs Of Jesus

Have you ever had trouble getting along with someone? Does religion seem like a meaningless routine? Have you ever questioned the purpose of life? Author Wayne McLaughlin has talked with people about these questions for thirty-six years. In reflections given to an Ohio congregation, Wayne wrestles with deep questions with honestly and candor. With approachable theology and humor Pastor McLaughlin gives his guidelines for hopeful living based on his years of studying the Bible and his own experiences with many people on the journey of faith.

We Three Pigs represents three different stages of people, and these are natural minded, carnal minded, and spiritual minded.

The bulk of this book was written over a 3-year period in India during daily quiet times there. It has been pared down from over 1,000 pages to 365 daily meditations corresponding to a daily reading through the Bible. The reading schedule is given at the head of each page with the day’s date. A verse is selected from each reading and includes the author’s thoughts for that day with a catchy title and an anecdote at the end. Many good devotionals are available, but the author feels this format will aid readers in keeping the Bible relevant to their daily lives as they attempt the worthy task of reading through the entire Bible in a year. It speaks to many personal concerns as they are addressed in the pages of Scripture. It is the author’s hope that this book will become a companion to daily Bible reading, and will encourage the readers to stick with their resolve to complete at least one year through the entire Bible.

Before God brought the woman to Adam in the Garden of Eden, God gave him responsibility, which was a job. Men, you should have a place to take your new bride to live in a place that she can call her home. When you marry that special lady, you become her new daddy because her biological daddy steps down as her covering. It then becomes the husbands responsibility as her new daddy to take care of her and her needs. Instead of taking your wife to your parents home or her parents home, you should take her to your new home that you have prepared especially for her. This is why God says that a man must leave his mother and father and cleave to his own wife.

In The True Message of Jesus Christ, Dr. Bilal Philips claims that Jesus Christ was merely a prophet of Allah who reaffirmed the central message that was later revealed to Muhammad. Dr. Philips argues that although Jesus claimed to be the Son of God in the Bible, modern translations of the Bible are corruptions of the original revelations given by Allah. Only the Qur’an, which downgrades Jesus’ status from the Son of God to a prophet, reflects God’s true, uncorrupted message. This Reply to The True Message of Jesus Christ demonstrates that Dr. Philips’ arguments are flawed and suffer from serious weaknesses on multiple levels. First, Dr. Philips’ claims are not historically grounded. Second, he misconstrues the text and meanings of the Bible. Third, he employs circular reasoning to support his assertions. Fourth, the claims Dr. Philips makes with respect to the corruption of the Bible conflict with even the teachings of the Qur’an on the divine inspiration of the Torah and other Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Some of Dr. Philips’ claims about the Bible are correct, though ultimately, they relate to minor or ancillary points, such as discrepancies in extant biblical manuscripts as to a king’s age when he began to rule. While such minor discrepancies exist, they should be expected in the copying and transmission of texts over thousands of years and they do not suggest deliberate falsification of the text for dogmatic purposes. Such discrepancies do not alter the overall message of the Bible—that “God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life” (John 3:16). The True Message of Jesus Christ fails to persuasively demonstrate that man has corrupted the Bible, that the Qur’an is God’s true and divinely inspired book and that Jesus’ true message is that He is merely a prophet of Allah, rather than God’s sacrificial lamb, offered “as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). Ultimately, the book fails to defeat the hope given to all who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

This is the classic fairy tale of the three little pigs reinvented as a 'on fire' Christian story, helping children learn about Yeshua (Jesus), the Holy Spirit and the walk of the believer, including wearing the armor of God, and taking authority over sin.

From disagreement over an Islamic Center in New York to clashes between Christians and Muslims in Egypt, tension between the three Abrahamic faiths often runs high. Yet for all their differences, these three traditions—Judaism, Islam, and Christianity—share much in common. Three Testaments brings together for the first time the text of the Torah, the New Testament, and the Quran, so that readers can explore for themselves the connections, as well as the points of departure, between the three faiths. Notable religion scholars provide accessible introductions to each tradition, and commentary from editor Brian Arthur Brown explores how the three faiths may draw similarities from the ancient Zoroastrian tradition. This powerful book provides a much-needed interfaith perspective on key sacred texts.
