The Apostate Church
Do Christian denominations and their clergy have the authority to promise you will go to Heaven when you die? What if they don't? What if they have never had the authority to make that promise? How can we know?IT'S ALL ABOUT GOD'S COVENANT!A covenant is a legal contract. God created an unbreakable covenant with Christ and called it the New Covenant. It had conditions plus rewards. One of those rewards was eternal life in Heaven.The difference between this Covenant, or contract, and the previous Covenant was the priesthood. A new contract was drawn up because the priesthood had changed. The establishment of a new priesthood was the basis of the New Covenant.For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law. Hebrews 7:12God took the priesthood out of the hands of the Levites and gave it to Christ. Christ became God's new and permanent High Priest, with the title King of Kings, over a new kingdom of priests, and his role was to personally lead this new priesthood of all believers. You have made them to be a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth. Revelation 5:10All the new laws, rewards and promises attached to God's New Covenant with Christ, including eternal life, were specific to this priesthood arrangement. Under this arrangement, only members of Christ's kingdom of priests could be rewarded with Heaven.The terms of the contract were fixed!But then came a shocking development. A Roman Emperor, Constantine, conscripted the promises attached to God's New Covenant and illegally attached them to his new political religious structure. His aim was to bring all religions under his control and create a single unified religion run by his newly made-up priesthood, a clergy class that would answer to him.When Constantine took the 'priesthood' out of the hands of all believers and put it into the hands of his paid clergy class, he stepped outside the terms of God's contract with Christ. He had no authority to create a new priesthood and claim it belonged to Christ. He was not God! This contract was not his to change.Then he illegally promised rewards he had no authority to promise.Constantine established his religion on the false premise that he had the authority to promise eternal life to all who followed his paid clergy class. But eternal life was not his to grant.What he did was deceive people into believing they could have eternal life without being part of Christ's kingdom of priests. And that is just not true! A contract is a contract!GOD KEEPS HIS WORD! HE WILL NOT BREAK HIS CONTRACT WITH HIS SON!Being a follower of Christ is different from going to church. Being part of Christ's kingdom of priests - the priesthood of all believers - is different from submitting to credentialed clergy.The assumption that we can abandon the Covenant priesthood set up by Christ, follow paid clergy and denominational religion instead, and still gain eternal life is the greatest deception since the fall. Billions have been deceived!If you want to go to heaven when you die, there is only one question you need to consider: Have you fulfilled the terms of the New Covenant?ABOUT THE AUTHORMonica Bennett-Ryan is an Australian Defence Whistleblower and award-winning Christian author.

Dimensions. Seeking Hungry Ghosts
Spirits are real. Ghosts are real. What about hungry ghosts, 癡guǐ, or Preta? Are they also real? If so, where do we find them? In Dimensions. Seeking Hungry Ghosts, we hear true accounts from those that see ghosts, that experience ghosts, that live with ghosts. What do their experiences tell us about the spirit world? What do they tell us about ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that are unsettled, tormented, suffering. They are drawn back to the world of the living. They demand attention, to be noticed, acknowledged. Then where do they exist? Are they in the same place as spirits? What of the Hungry Ghost Realm, or the Pretaloka? We have the answers. This is the second book in the Living with Ghosts series. In the first book, Annie. Living with Ghosts, we provide real life accounts from a woman that possesses the third eye, that sees ghosts everywhere she goes. She is a Sensitive, she has a window to the other world, a gift that she would rather not have. Some of her encounters are mild, benign, supportive; many are disturbing, demanding, intrusive; and some are absolutely terrifying. This first book tells Annie's stories as she experienced them, and from those stories we learn more about spirits and ghosts. Ghosts are caught between the world of the living and the spirit world. They cannot exist in the physical world, yet they can visit us in many different forms. They have unfinished business that prevents them from moving on to the spirit world, to the light. They are trapped in a place of transition. What is this halfway world where ghosts must roam? Where does it exist? And what does this tell us about the spirit world? In Dimensions. Seeking Hungry Ghosts, we give you answers. This second book adds many more true personal accounts of ghost encounters. Then together with explorations into the worlds of science, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and the New Age world of Theosophy, we can find answers to our deepest questions. Spirits, ghosts, guardian spirits, Preta, hungry ghosts... they are all there. What about devas, demons, and dark entities? Where are they, and do we really want to know? Perhaps not. Enjoy this second book. If you haven't read the first, get that too. These true accounts will make you think, make you wonder, make you question what you think you know. There is life after death, and it is more varied that you were expecting.

The Secrets of Tenet and the Sator Square
From the Early Christians to Christopher Nolan. What if the famous Magic Square Sator, engraved two millenia ago on the walls of Pompeii shortly before the eruption of Vesuvius, attributed to the Early Christians, and the inspiration for Christopher Nolan's film Tenet, released in 2020, had been announcing the troubled and decisive times we are living? Sator, Arepo, Tenet, Opera, Rotas: a 25 letters mandala of which numerous versions dot ancient, medieval or modern Europe, and a two thousand years old mystery. Like a living heart where ancient traditions and religions converge with contemporary discoveries in physics, such as the reversibility of Time and the question of Artificial Intelligence, the Magic Square takes us through the arcane of the Tarot, Gnosis, Hebrew Wisdom and their links to Egypt, Christian Mysticism and the Renaissance. It also allows us to decipher for the first time the work of Christopher Nolan, also director of The Prestige, Batman, Interstellar, Inception and Oppenheimer. In the center of the Sator Square, a cross is formed by Tenet, the name of the director of the CIA at the time of September 11, 2001. Space and Time, Eternity, the destiny of Human kind, its quest for freedom are simultaneously hidden and revealed in the Sator Square, as well as C.G.Jung's necessary reconciliation of the opposites at the crossing point between the Pisces era and the Aquarian era we are encountering. "We live in a twilight World" is the device of Tenet. But the Sator Square also announced us the dawn of a new one.

Islam
In the context of prevailing uncertainty as to what Islam importantly represents in the modern world, Islam: Friend or Foe? constitutes a unique and authoritative analysis of Islam's essential identity, based on Islam's own documents plus its generally accepted history. The purpose is to provide the evidence necessary for readers to make an informed and responsible opinion concerning Islam. About the AuthorThe author, writing under a pen name, is a conservative senior churchman resident and active in an established "Continuing Care Retirement Community" in New England. Raised in suburban New Jersey and educated early in public schools and then in private non-sectarian schools, first in a local "country day school" and then in a private boarding school, he enlisted in the United States Navy before graduation and served as a pharmacist's mate. After the war he attended and graduated from an Ivy League college before similarly attending and graduating from an Episcopal seminary, and subsequently he was ordained a deacon and then a priest. After serving for many years he was eventually disciplined for refusing to accept certain liberal doctrines and practices, whereupon he was consecrated a bishop to serve non-conforming Anglicans before eventually retiring. In addition to forty-odd years of active ministry, he married, raised two children, and while still able enjoyed gardening, hiking, and carrying on voluminous correspondence in defense of classical Anglican theology and practice.
The Seshat History of Moralizing Religion
What do the gods want? Will we be judged after death? What is the aim of religious practice? In all the major religions recognized today, interpersonal morality is a primary concern, reinforced by supernatural systems of punishment and reward. In the Abrahamic faiths, an all-powerful god monitors and judges human conduct, and in Asian karmic religions, every action has consequences, in this life or the next. Yet this focus is recent compared to beliefs in supernatural agency and life after death, and ritual practices designed to ensure good relationships with gods, spirits and ancestors. How did moralizing supernatural punishment and reward (MSP) become so important, and what impact have these beliefs had on human societies?Since 2011, teams of scholars affiliated with the Seshat: Global History Databank have used quantitative methods to explore these questions. The Seshat History of Moralizing Religion is a qualitative companion to this work, providing a more detailed exploration of cultural context. It is the first book to offer a worldwide comparative perspective on moralizing religions.In Volume 1, archaeologists, anthropologists and historians bring their insights to bear on questions of the origin and spread of moralizing religions. Specialists in the study of these traditions explore how MSP has been understood in a variety of cultural contexts, from the early Christian Mediterranean to Sasanian Iran and contemporary India. This volume also includes chapters taking a comparative approach to moralizing religion, identifying patterns in time and space and asking how such beliefs co-evolve with other aspects of social organization.

An Outline of Christian Theology is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1899.
Harness
The Israelites were freed from bondage in Egypt through the leadership of Moses the servant of God. They did not leave Egypt in a disorganized manner but were harnessed in orderly ranks as a family of tribes. Under the auspices of God's glory, the entire Israelite community journeyed to the Promised Land and possessed their allotments. No one was left disenfranchised because corporate progress translates into individual progress. Can that be said about the Body of Christ today?The prophetic destinies of the twelve tribes of Israel unveil our dominant and recessed potentials that ought to be engaged in our endeavors. Altogether these potentials are the basis of our spiritual senses that determine our choices. This book teaches how the twelve tribes provide insight into our prophetic purposes and the corresponding apostolic foundations for a grasp of basic kingdom economics as well as the dimensions of how God works.

His act ranges from the depths of the almighty God (1Co 2:10) to the depths of the mortal man (Psalm 139:7,15- 16); it sweeps through time from the beginning of the creation and the void earth (Gen 1:1) to the new heaven and the new earth (Rev 21:1). He is almighty. He carries grace and peace to us.At many occasions in the bible, the scripture uses different images to indicate the Holy Spirit. It indicates Him using images like dove, fire, flowing water, wind ...etc, to describe the variety and the diversity of His works. That's why we see Him in Revelation as "the seven Spirits of God" (Rev 3:1), indicating His various works in their perfection. Let's therefore proceed humbly to the Holy Spirit to see the glory and the perfection of His work in our life. Let's explore what's in His heart for us.
Lord, Teach Us to Pray
The Lord's Prayer is not a script to memorize - it's a way of life to embrace - a pattern built on the foundation Jesus laid - it is not just about making requests - it's about being formed.Prayer is not a religious hoop we jump through to gain spiritual credit. Nor is it a vending machine into which we insert the right spiritual coins. Prayer is a relational conversation with God. At its core, prayer is not primarily about getting something from God, it's about connecting with God personally.Prayer is also the furnace in which our character is shaped. In prayer, we are moulded into the likeness of Christ. In prayer, our will is being aligned with God's will. In prayer, our desires are sifted, purified, and refined. When Jesus teaches us to pray, He is not only teaching us what to say - He is teaching us who to become. The prayer Jesus gives us is not magic. It is not mechanical. It is not a formula. It is an invitation - to know God, to be changed by Him, and to participate in His kingdom on earth.

An Australian Teacher Tells Traditional Chinese Stories/澳洲老师讲中国传统故事
"Firstly, I would like to thank my students who contributed so much to this book. The task for the classes was to learn and act a play. The idea came to me that the most familiar stories were those they had grown up with. So instead of just reciting a part of some Western play they could recreate their own stories. The outlines of each story were written from memory of those stories they learnt as children by each of the 16 classes and then divided into 18 parts for two students to research and write each section. They had to coordinate their efforts to see that the story lines followed logically and, in the process, new characters and whole sections of the stories were invented. We worked on the plays during each class and then they were acted, once for the mid-semester assessment, then revised and acted again for the final exam. During class time, they came up with many new ideas to make the plays more interesting. It was a delight to teach them and guide them on this journey. I think they all loved reviving these stories they knew so well and which meant so much.I am also very grateful to the team of translators from the TJU Masters in Translation course: Cai Mengdi, Chen Jia, Guo Yufei, Liang Siqi, Liu Xiaoqin and Wang Jing and their supervisor Li Zhaohong
Paul the Marriage Counselor
Christians are beset by relationship issues, just as non-Christians are because, though we are saved, we still live in a fallen world. Hence JESUS said that 'it was impossible for offenses not to assail us, ' because we live in a fallen world, and we are still housed in human flesh. The Body of Christ today, to a large extent seems to live in a false sense of euphoria where life's realities are concerned, and so they try to spiritualize everything without any practical application to most of what adversely affects us. In 1 Corinthians chapter 7, Paul the Apostle dealt with various relationship and marital issues, including divorce and remarriage, even without infidelity. Journey with me as I dissect this awesome chapter verse by verse.

The Philosophical Foundations of Christian Science
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) is best known for founding the religion of Christian Science - an international institution which has extended beyond her lifetime and into the twenty-first century. Often labelled as fringe theology, rather than core philosophy, Eddy's work has remained on the peripheries of academia. Her unmitigated idealism, and occasionally nebulous style, have led to a reluctance to apply a philosophical rigour to her thinking. In The Philosophical Foundations of Christian Science, Nicholas Sheldon rediscovers her as a radical philosopher, one of many female philosophers of her time who, he contends, should no longer be underestimated. Carefully analysing her non-linear style in order to understand her internal system of thought, Sheldon resolves flaws within her argument, and draws out Christian Science's remarkable philosophical assertion: that it is not only illness and suffering which are unreal, but the entire physical realm. For Eddy, it is only the spiritual which remains.
