While the churches are emptying, other virtual religious places -
as the religious websites - seem to be filling up. The researcher
focusing on religion and internet or digital religion as an object
of study must seek answers to a number of questions. Is
computer-mediated religious communication a particular
communication process whose object is what we conventionally call
religion? Or is it a modern, independent form of religious
expressiveness that finds its new-born status in the web and its
particular language? To examine the questions above, and others,
the book collects more empirical data, claiming that the Internet
will have a specific or novel impact on how religious traditions
are interpreted. The blurring of previous boundaries
(offline/online, virtual/local, illegitimate/legitimate religion)
is another theme common to all the contributions in this volume.
As humans, things happen to us sometimes that we cannot fully
understand. We desire to explain them when from human perspective
there's no explanation that really exists. Our perplexion at things
of that nature are not just about when they happen to us but also
the things we witness in the world around us. They oftentimes shake
the foundations of our faith in God to the core. But as much as not
knowing hurts, at no time should our reaction be to accuse God for
things we don't understand. Rather, we should know that God is not
always the architect of all our problems and that He might not
always save us from people that live to harm us or bless us the way
we want because we take a stand with Him. His promise however is
one thing and that is that He'll work it all out for HIS OWN ENDS
even the wicked for a day of disaster Proverbs 16:4b. However your
pain occurred, God's declared intentions are that He'll use all of
your problems any which way they present to work out His will for
your life. The deaths of some of the people that went before us is
proof that for reasons best known to Him, God at times chooses not
to deliver people that take a stand with Him. And it's not because
He hated such people but because of what He already planned to use
the situation for.
My book is not a substitute for reading the Bible; instead, it
is a teaching tool of your knowledge of the Bible. It contains pop
quizzes (fill in the blanks, true/false statements, and general
questions) from all sixty-six books in the Bible.
With that shared, please read a book in the King James Version
of the Bible. Then, open my book and read the pop quizzes for that
corresponding book. For example, read the book of Matthew. Then,
read the pop quizzes for the book of Matthew in my book.
I have faith that you will do phenomenally well
