Every culture has its gods. According to Ingersoll, every culture
has failed to develop properly in moral and spiritual ways, mainly
because the gods of man were made by man. They originally appeared
within our flawed minds, and therefore resemble their flawed
creators. The Gods cannot "rescue" us when they, like us, are in a
constant battle for recognition and supremacy, either among
themselves or with the gods of other religions. This book will make
you think about the nature of deity and will challenge your
critical thinking skills. The author continually brings to our
attention the nagging feeling that something is not right,
especially as it relates to what we have been traditionally taught.
Many of his arguments are strong and compelling, while others may
be challenged and debated through deeper examination. Whatever the
case, this is an insightful book that is well worth exploring.
DID YOU KNOW THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES ARE PERFECTLY IN LINE
WITH THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION THAT USHER IN
THE ANTICHRIST?
All of bible prophecy has been fulfilled for the antichrist to come
to power.
However, there are 3 world events that need to be implemented in
order for the antichrist to come to power and become the world
leader.
1.) The nations of the world need to be ready to accept and
implement a One-World Order and Government, allowing for a single
world ruler.
2.) The world needs to be ready and willing to be on a One-World
Currency and Banking System, which will allow the antichrist to
control what the citizens of the entire world can buy and sell.
3.) Once the Holy Spirit has been removed by way of the Raptured
Christians, The New One-World Government will gather the leaders of
the top religions together and unite them under a One-World
Religion already in existence today and growing rapidly.
These three biblical and historical events are already taking place
today in our own government. You can see this for yourself at
www.thewitnessalliance.com Video News Page. The Rapture can happen
at any moment. In this book you will learn who is responsible, what
organizations to watch, and just how close we are to these events
being implemented. As you walk with the author verse by verse
through the pages of Revelation. You will experience the
tribulation first hand, as though you have missed the rapture and
were left behind. You will deal with every catastrophic event as it
happens from day to day and month to month, surviving each event
only to take on another of even greater challenge. As you walk with
the author through the tribulation, you will experience the joys of
victory, the challenges of surviving and the destructive and evil
treatment of the tribulation saints; all of this at the hands of
the antichrist. Up to this point, everything has been prophecy of
future events, but that future is NOW
I am delighted to recommend this book written by my friend of over
20 years and brother in the ministry of our Lord to any student of
the Bible. Never have I seen a book explain Revelation as though
you are actually living through the Tribulation. This book get's
you to thinking in ways you never thought of before. After reading
this book, I fell down on my knees and prayed that God would use
this scholarly work to help thousands of souls prepare for the soon
coming Lord Jesus."
-Pastor Glen Aycock, Southern Baptist Minister
Put two contrarians together and shake well. -Christianity Today
The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by
Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author
of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author
of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this
divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative-a
glimpse into the ongoing debate.
From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical
Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in
Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book
of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave
master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible
Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an
intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in
Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist
on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And
so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did
not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with
Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our
right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this
is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."
This rare, soul-searching book, reveals the spiritual power of the
famous Rosicrucian, Robert Boyle. He takes you by his gentle hand
and guides you to the love of God. This may be the first time it
has ever been offered to the spiritually hungry world since 1708.
This is an introduction to the new innovation of secular religion
called "Pantheistic-Atheism." It is a way for us to live moral and
ethical lives without a biblical God. A philosophy that all people
can use to live together to make an ameliorated new world. We
should not be trying to destroy ourselves in fulfilling some old
superstitious biblical prophecy full of hatred and wars. Although
this book includes a chapter on "Bible Propaganda," and additional
information on why religion is fraudulent portraying God as the
"Bully of the Bible." It is mainly about living successful positive
lives. Therefore, it does not include sections on the superstitious
immoral atrocities of the Bible, nor its true origin, the fact of
Evolution versus Intelligent Design Enforcers, and many other
subjects of "Bible-Babble-Bull" that are included in his
anti-religious book called "Empirical Truth."
"Sometimes I have a difficult time accepting my good fortune to be
living at this particular time -- nothing has made me feel more
that way than reading Dr. Jerome's fascinating, realistic, and
informative book. It is a "treasure house" of wonderful
information, useful knowledge, and excellent writing.
This book essentially takes the basic religious truths that have
been handed down to us over hundreds of years from our major world
religions and shows how current findings in subatomic particle
physics, quantum theory, and laser technology gives us a way of
seeing how they may well be agreeing on the same basic truths that
construct and maintain our matter and spiritual existence.
Larry Dossey, M.D., President of Isthmus Institute and author of
"Space, Time, and Medicine" and "Beyond Illness," has written an
excellent introduction and endorses Dr. Jerome's work. I believe
that any creditable scientist would do the same and certainly every
New Thought student should be enthusiastic about the work. This
book is not 'another scientific text.' It is that, of course, but
is so much more and such 'fun' reading. Take a look at this book
which is entertaining, informative, and above all else, a book
which has great application to daily living." -- Jack H. Holland,
PhD., D.D. -- Theologian, Reviewer of scientific and theological
literature for "The New Thought Quarterly," and Director of The
Institute for Human Growth and Awareness.
"Dr. Jerome's book just might be one of the most important books of
this era. It explains the holographic nature of God's consciousness
in terms that are understandable." -- Tommy Sellers, communications
expert in computer science and laser research.
"Dr. Jerome personifies a new breed of human now emerging. He is a
scientist who realizes that his science represents only part of the
path to understand his existence and his reality. It is an
essential part, but incomplete in itself. To be whole, to be
balanced in life, he knows it is necessary to discover the path's
other essential part.
As the parts of the path become visible before him, Dr. Jerome
integrates them for us. As he says in his preface:
If science is right, and if religion is also
right, then they must allude to the same
basic truths. The quest to uncover this
'sameness' is the goal of this book
This is a sensitive and beautiful book written by an admirable man.
It deserves to be read, then pondered, then reread, and finally,
referred to often." -- John C. Carls, PhD. in particle physics and
author of "What It Means To Be Human."
LCCN: 2009936698 The author asserts that if there is no God, then
fifty-five absurdities follow such as: humans possess no unique
value, there is no objective morality, the existence of humanity
has no meaning or purpose. Without a transcendent standard or
source, pursuits and values are delusions of the human species. The
information required for the intricate complexity of the universe,
from nothing or chaos to life on earth and the structure of the
cosmos, has no contributor in the absence of a transcendent
intelligence. In the year of his death in 1955, the revered
scientist Albert Einstein clarified his formerly ambiguous views:
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable
superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are
able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply
emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power,
which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea
of God" (Calaprice, ed., The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Princeton,
2010, p.325).

In Living in the Now, the author distills her experience in Eastern
and Western philosophy, as well as the works of contemporary
thinkers and teachers, into practical and manageable ways of
becoming mindful of the present to reduce stress and improve one's
quality of life. She presents the obstacles to mindfulness
encountered by people with different personality traits, and gently
and sensibly negotiates their identification with the ego. Her
clear style helps the reader to navigate complex topics such as the
delusion of time, and her practical exercises at the end of each
chapter consolidate her wisdom, allowing readers to internalise it.
Among many others, the perfectionist, the procrastinator and the
controller will learn the elegance of living in the present, and
realise, with relief, that they can stop resisting their lives and
become more fulfilled.
Ronald Aronson has a mission: to demonstrate that a life without
religion can be coherent, moral, and committed. In the last few
years the "New Atheists"--Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard
Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens--have created a stir by
criticizing religion and the belief in God. Aronson moves beyond
the discussion of what we should not believe, proposing
contemporary answers to Immanuel Kant's three great questions: What
can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope? Grounded in the
sense that we are deeply dependent and interconnected beings who
are rooted in the universe, nature, history, society, and the
global economy, Living Without God explores the experience and
issues of 21st-century secularists, especially in America.
Reflecting on such perplexing questions as why we are grateful for
life's gifts, who or what is responsible for inequalities, and how
to live in the face of aging and dying, Living Without God is also
refreshingly topical, touching on such subjects as contemporary
terrorism, the war in Iraq, affirmative action, and the remarkable
rise of Barack Obama. Optimistic and stirring, Living Without God
is less interested in attacking religion than in developing a
positive philosophy for atheists, agnostics, secular humanists,
skeptics, and freethinkers--as well as for all those of us who,
whatever we call ourselves, manage to live fundamentally secular
lives and are searching for bearings today.
"Empirical Truth," "Pantheistic-Atheism." This book will show that
the Bible is an immoral old book that we should not be brainwashing
our children into believing, especially by blind-faith. That more
evil has come about from the Bible than good. That humanity chose
to live with ethics and morals long before we had religious
rulings. That evolution is correct, and you will not be fooled by
Intelligent Design Enforcers. You will expand your mind using
science, philosophy, history, and abstract thinking in a journey
from caveman to our modern society to free our minds from
Bible-Babble-Bull. Then you will be introduced to the positive
philosophy of "Empirical Truth." Including the healing "Powers of
Light Vibrations," which can fill the void left inside of you, as
you toss away all the fears that you lived with for so long from
the emotional and disturbing propaganda of religion.
This is a personal account of a year's visits to sites that lie on
various ley lines across Britain, ending in southern Ireland. While
being of a personal nature it goes far beyond that as the author
Jackie Queally works closely with a universal metaphysical system
called the Reshel, whose purpose is to co-create the new spiritual
paradigm. The Reshel is an ancient spiritual body of knowledge
still valid today. Lying at the core of esoteric Christianity it is
highly pertinent to the great shift taking place today on Earth,
and this book is a rare gem for it explains in accessible language
how the earth as a sentient being responds to human consciousness
and evolves. The Reshel expresses states of being of very high
frequencies that can be applied to etheric patterns in the land
over vast distances involving key sites such as Rosslyn Chapel and
Glastonbury. Jackie is the longest standing guide to that chapel
and is steeped in esoteric knowledge of its purpose and function.
'This new book by Jackie Queally, pre-eminent authority on the
Reshel systems of Europe, Sotland and Ireland in particular, is
hands down the best and most readable material on the arcane Reshel
matrix yet to be published. It gives the reader clearly explained
technical information on the complex European earth grids balanced
with her highly entertaining and fascinating personal experiences.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in
learning more about the Reshel Grid - the gateway to the future' -
Peter Allen. Formerly only understood and used by inner-core
Templar and Masonic groups, Jackie has organized the once secret
information and systems into an excellent understandable summary.
The 'Living, Chief Head Stone that becomes the Corner'...defining
the Messiah in 1 Peter 2:4-9, also defines every human in his/her
Ascension movement. As this Universe is rapidly moving into a new
Continuum reality, so also the spiritual science evolves to remain
ahead of the evolutionary surge. The New-Ark, organized by
Metatronic Reshel systems, is the core of that science. The
Templars updated temples and earth-grids 700 years ago (and
earlier) designed for this present phase of the great Transition.
Jackies brilliant insight into this little understood science,
continuing their work and conveyed through the book is a valuable
aid for any grid-worker. These systems can be directly applied by
Light Groups to increase their efficiency and resonance with
Metatronic systems used in the Transition.
An Atheist's Handbook describes the "Who, What, When, Where, Why,
and How" of the author's transition from religious believer to
religious nonbeliever in a logical, philosophical, and easy-to-read
fashion. It should be required reading for everyone who does or
does not believe in God.
Author Floyd C. McElveen heard men crying out for God when a
Kamikaze suicide plane hit his ship in WWII. Several different
"Religions" tried to convince him that they had the answers. Vocal
Atheists claimed Evolution was a "fact" and that God did not exist
at all. This created an intense desire in McElveen to find out the
truth. With his brilliant mind and deductive reasoning, McElveen
began a sincere journey to discover who was right. Faith of an
Atheist is a powerhouse book with scientific and logical
explanations providing a sound foundation for its conclusions.
McElveens skill at communicating resonates with truth that is
revealing and soul-searching. With over 1 million books in print,
he is clearly a diligent researcher and well-respected author.
Jesus Christ: A Pagan Myth, is a detailed comparison of the
religious and ethical beliefs held by the Greco-Roman world and the
views held by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, and the Gospel of
Mark, the earliest written gospel in the New Testament. Why do Mark
and the gospels that followed him, as well as Paul's letters,
reflect not Jewish ethics but rather the Stoic ethics of the
Greco-Roman pagan world? Why the striking similarity between the
religion of Paul and the mystery religions of the pagan world which
surrounded him? Why are Mark and Paul so anti-Jewish? Why are
Jesus' last words "Why have you (God) abandoned me?" Why does Jesus
feel he is dying on the cross, a failure, that he is deserted by
God? Jesus Christ: A Pagan Myth presents evidence that Jesus is a
literary fiction, one derived from a Greco-Roman pagan environment.
This evidence is taken from the New Testament, particularly from
Mark and the letters of Paul, and from modern Christian scholars.
NEWS: A new version of this book has now been published. It is the
first in a series to be published in the next few months - "Jesus
Never Lived Vol I Jesus Christ: A Pagan Myth." This is the third
edition and has been revised and expanded. Over 150 pages of new
material has been added. So be sure to check out "Jesus Never Lived
Vol 1 Jesus Christ: A Pagan Myth."
Deism is a natural and rational bridge that unites our reason to
our belief in God. It propels us from the false and destructive
ancient myths to a space-age belief system that is in line with our
innate God-given reason. This book, written in a concise and cogent
style, introduces the reader to Deism, a way of life that is free
of the old conflicts between reason and religion. The removal of
these conflicts allows us to enjoy and appreciate a much more
profound and satisfying belief in Nature's God while helping us to
live a more productive and meaningful life.
