Rev. Detlef Schwartz, Ph.D., Ph.D., pastor emeritus with a German background and university lecturer, analyses those theological works of the German theologian Paul Tillich, which deal with the relation between culture and religion. Because there is an immense interest among Pentecostal theologians to connect and to compare their theology with the idea of the ¿Spirit¿ in Tillich¿s books, Schwartz brings together in a vivid dialogue both theological groups.

The subject matter the Sabbath day of God has raised dust in different quarters of the Christian faith. It is controversial. Many are of the opinion that Sabbath day is a Jewish innovation and explicitly meant for the Jews or Israelites; others believe that Sunday the first day of the week is the new Christian Sabbath day and should be a work free day. Some however not only see the Sabbath day as the day of God but have on the whole pledged their life to it. Some says that Sabbath is for the Jews while Sunday is for the Christians.Whether Sabbath is for the Jews and Sunday for the Christians does not matter, what is important is a personal conviction of the truth and the final outcome - everlasting life or eternal damnation. It is a matter of conviction and choice.

When you hear or read the title, ¿The Seven Spirits of God¿ for the first time, the first question that will likely come up in your mind is, Does this mean God has seven Holy Spirits?The Bible does show that there are ¿Seven Spirits of God.¿ It however behooves us to understand exactly what this means and how it applies to us in the New Covenant.To start with, the number Seven (7) is regarded by the Hebrew people as a sacred number, and throughout the Bible it is used to symbolize perfection, fullness, abundance, rest, and completion. The ¿Seven Spirits of God¿ therefore implies a ¿completeness¿ or ¿fullness¿ of the Holy Spirit, and this fullness of the Spirit is what every Christian ought to have, for it is our birthright.

Few Christians have difficulty believing in the personal guidance of God. In most cases, our difficulty is not with the fact that God guides but how. The first quality that God desires in every ministry that He ordains in this dispensational end-times is wisdom. God hates folly and does not therefore condone foolishness in His ministry. Fools always make blunders in the ministry; thus causing the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to be blasphemed. Usually, the wisdom of God is subtly concealed in His creation. Hence, we discover the mysteries of God¿s wisdom through His creation. No one is born wise. Wisdom is neither inherited from parents also. It is acquired through regeneration; being a gift from God. God gives wisdom liberally, generously, and ungrudgingly by His grace, after an individual requests the same accordingly (1 Kings 3:5-12). A wise person has prominent quality and power in making accurate and/or appropriate decisions by God¿s guidance. Wise Up and Live!

Jesus¿ ¿Second Coming¿, as foretold by Jesus¿ disciple John, in his apocalyptic vision of the future, Revelation, is a metaphor used by extremist Catholic terrorists for the countless lives destroyed by repeated ejaculations and condom usage, before Jesus came a second time, ¿The dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment it was born.¿ (Rev: 12. 4) The dragon is what developmental psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) called an ¿archetype¿, which is a facultas preformandi in the human psyche. According to Jung, images, symbols, and figures from ¿the God archetype¿ appear in the collective unconscious through dreams, art and the imagination, as guides to individual growth. Consequently, the archetype of the dragon actually warns against the Catholic belief in hellfire for heterosexuals for ejaculating, that is, the dragon is homosexuality, for example, the ¿incurable killer disease¿, which was the virus of hell in the late 20th century, was the AIDS virus, discovered by DR Congo in 1983, being transmitted through infected semen by homosexuals impaling each other¿s anuses on each other¿s penises.

STOP IT! Stop giving place to the devil. Stop giving place to failure. Stop giving place to ¿victim mentality¿. Stop giving place to defeat. Stop allowing anything that is not within the confines of what Christ promised to work within and around you. Stop allowing the things Christ has given you victory over to put you down. Stop allowing the devil to take what¿s rightfully given to you by Christ Jesus, purchased by His blood. Stop being a slave to the lies and deceptions of the devil. Stop letting him take advantage of you. Colossians 1:13 declares, ¿He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.¿ Do you understand this depth of victory God through Jesus Christ Our Lord has achieved for us? He will not deliver us. He may not deliver. He is not thinking of delivering us. He is not planning to deliver us.

Do we have authority in Christ Jesus as believers, that puts us over the devil, death and diseases, as we saw Jesus Manifest in scriptures ?I have pondered on this question constantly and as I see the perplexities surrounding the life of most Christians, it makes me wonder if the triumph we claim to really have in Christ Jesus isn't laughable.I have been a Christian for so many years and in all those years, it has surprised me to see that too many believers live in bondage and defeat in so many areas of their lives far more than they live in freedom and continuous victory.But glory to God ! There really is authority available to us in Christ Jesus, to stand as His representatives and enforce His purpose on earth. He wants us to establish the will of the Father on the earth as it is done in heaven, even as we walk in the authority He has given to us.This book is an expose on this crucial matter. You will discover, without doubt, the authority we have thought Christ as children of God and will understand how to walk in that authority over your life, over your family, over your health, over the devil, and over all that concerns you, to the glory of God.

This book is about basic ideas and notions about virtues. We ought to have them the most. In trials, we earn virtues. Most of the time and sometimes to be learned and earned. Having a virtue is to be proud off. Even if it just one or small one. We dare to be different or against the flow. It is loving God above all as He stated. We want as many as possible virtues, we learn a lot. We see sacrifice, we need sacrifice, we show sacrifice, gratitude, love, virtues. Hope is upon us. ¿¿Three things will last forever: faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love. Cor 13:13. Past, present and future.

This book was written from the vast wealth of experience of the authors. It addresses the basic but confounding issues in church administration like decision making and implementation in the context of scarcity of resources. The authors make use of economic and public administration registers looking at how the administrative man satisfices and the economic man maximizes also using the principles of PODSCORB. The last part of the book discusses planning as a strategy for evangelism and church growth. The authors strongly believe that power grows in part when delegated. Based on this, they advise church administrators to always delegate responsibilities to their subordinates. A word of caution: in administration, those who have delegated powers do not have the authority to re-delegate it to another. Accordingly, as priests, our powers are delegated to us by our Lord Jesus Christ to feed the sheep. Yielding the pulpit to the laity is insubordination to Christ.

The Absence of God is an eye witness account of how the world has degenerated into animal kingdom where might is right and survival is for the fittest.The book is situated in a milieu covering billions of years, narrated in first person singular with dialogues interjected with suspense filled stories that depict a contemporary world populated with humans that behave as if there is no God. A nonfiction cast in the mold of fiction, the author discusses the creation theories and other scientific doctrines in addition to globalized worldviews and systems that have conspired to throw the universe in turmoil and pain through wars, pandemics, diseases etc that could lead to mass deaths.

David a minister of the gospel of Christ stood adamant in his stand against vaccination. Himself and his wife turned deaf ear to every encouragements from families and friends on their need to be vaccinated against the global pandemic. It wasn¿t until a personal revelation that he got from hearing a convincing word from the holy book, the Bible, that he changed his stand against his resolve never to be vaccinated¿ This drastic turn and change of mind brought about the realization to be a solution provider to other believers who has taken their stand against the world government policy of vaccinating the whole humanity. In the cause of his new found drive to impact positively on all who opposes such policies and such stands against policies agreed on by world government in area of Pharmaceutical, Science and Climate Change, he discovered that there is more to what is laid down in those policies than what the eyes can see. His discovery eventually lead him to become the supernatural man, confirming the adage that life is a solution for those who IMPACT!

This book is essentially an exposition of Ephesians 5:1, which says, ¿Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children¿ (NLT). Imitating God is to reproduce His attributes in us. It is to follow His character. But can finite humans imitate infinite God? We must understand that God has two kinds of attributes: incommunicable and communicable. The incommunicable attributes are those that belong to God alone (such as omnipotence, omnipresence, immortality, etc.), while the communicable attributes of God are those that we can also possess (such as faithfulness, forgiveness, love, etc.). Ephesians 5:1 is asking us to imitate God¿s communicable attributes as His dear children.In this book, we cover fourteen attributes of God. Each chapter discusses an attribute of God and addresses three issues: (1) How God demonstrates the attribute, (2) How man is supposed to imitate God by demonstrating the attribute, (3) What happens when man does not demonstrate the attribute. As Christians, we are God¿s representatives here on earth and we should strive to live lives imitating His character.

This book is the result of about fourteen years (2009-2023) of papers, made for different symposia about the Eastern-Christian traditions: eight researches on the Georgian Bible and five on the Armenian. There were already papers published in the West: on the Codex Schoeyen and on Codex Scheide, a research on Gregory of Nazianze and an article on the Sanctus. But others remained unpublished, or they were hardly accessible in the West. Therefore we do publish them here to show their importance for the traditions of the Early Church. As the Appendix of Chapter 11 we publish a full edition of the Armenian column of the manuscript Barberinus Orientalis, which is compared with the text of the edition of Zohrab. We include here also three on Coptic and one on Ethiopic, that we add to our previous publications on the Armenian Gospel of Mark, on the Ethiopian Gospel of John, on the Gospel of John in Greek, and on the Coptic Codex Schoeyen. These were for a more specialized public, being as a kind of reference-works. The contributions we publish here, though having a rough, unfinished state of their text, aim at a more general audience: we hope they will be a bit more accessible.

His coming changed believers' status from failure to success, sickness to health, guilt to forgiveness and from old life to new lifestyle. Jesus brought new Sabbath, new nation and new blessing. He displayed compassion in full. Many lessons about faith and His many-sided ministry express the volubility of the book.The book discusses the Christian duties in the world which amongst others include ambassadorial and neigbourhood responsibilities for Christ's sake. It further states the need for Christians to represent God well, to be their brethren's keepers, abhor hypocrisy, covetousness, worrying, carelessness and spiritual dullness. Believers are encouraged to turn to God irrespective of their situations in order to share in the joys of salvation.In Christianity what really matters are forgiveness, faithfulness, thankfulness and preparedness for God's Kingdom. These of course, are the main essence of Jesus' ministry on earth. His resurrection gives believers victory over spiritual and physical enemies and assurance of dine with Him in Heaven.

English science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, wrote a short story, ¿Sentinel of Eternity¿ (1951), about a monolith left by a highly technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilization, which enhanced the brains of the animals that encountered it. Film director, Stanley Kubrick, collaborated with Clarke to produce a 1968 movie version of the story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which apes are depicted killing an animal resembling a pig from the Ypresian stage of the early Eocene epoch in Earth¿s history (56-47.8 m.a.); Eohippus angustidens: ¿dawn horse¿. Although in the future the hippo-like creature would evolve into the horse, the theme of the enhanced brain of an animal becoming that of a killer is central to the plot of the author, whose alien intelligence is obviously a self-extrapolation, because the E. angustidens is a pig, which means that the apes are evolving into killers, as they develop human intellectual power, while the pigs will develop into ¿long pig¿, that is, human food in the sense of food being humans.

This book contains in two volumes a full text-critical analysis of this remarkable 4th century Middle-Egyptian manuscript. Not only all available early Coptic, Greek, Syriac and Latin, but also Armenian, Georgian, Arabic and Gothic versions, are included in the comparison as textual witness, but also Palestinian, Georgian and Dutch Lectionaries, as well all the different Diatessara. Hilarius of Poitiers and John Chrysostom also appear as textual witness, as well as early Armenian Fathers. Its free text-form is affiliated to the early Syriac and Ethiopian witnesses and to the Diatessaron. So this book contributes as a reference-book, not only for the critical edition of the Coptic and of the Greek New Testament, but it has also implications for the wider range of textual study of the Early Church: the freer text-form, as represented by this manuscript and by the Dura-Europos harmony, appears to be the older form than that of the standard Greek manuscripts.

From reason to faithIt is customary to oppose reason and faith, considering them to be totally and irrevocably incompatible, suggesting that the Christian faith has no rational foundation and can therefore offer no grounds for confidence nor objective reason for one¿s choice.Such an attitude and contention, which, it must be admitted, both avoid the great questions of life and death, that is to say the meaning of life and what happens after death, reveal a degree of thoughtlessness which can only run counter to our reason, taking into account the imperious and fundamental character of what is at stake.
