What do you actually believe? Not what your family says. Not what your pastor says. Not what your podcast host says. What the label means. Fully. This is not a book about scripture. It’s not a defense of religion. And it’s not a takedown of belief. It’s a walkthrough. From Christians to Catholics, Evangelicals to Mormons, Muslims to Jews, Hindus to Buddhists, Atheists to Agnostics, and cults you didn’t even know were real. This book lays out the actual belief structure, system by system, line by line. No cherry-picking. No commentary. Just: “If you say you are this… here’s what that means.

El anticristo propugna la superación del nihilismo y del cristianismo.

In this volume, Dr. Rushdoony clearly enunciates each major philosopher's position and its implications, identifies the intellectual and moral consequences of each school of thought, and traces the dead-end to which each naturally leads. There is only one foundation. Without Christ, meaning and morality are anchored to shifting sand, and a counsel of despair prevails. This penetrating yet brief volume provides clear guidance, even for laymen unfamiliar with philosophy.

Si Dios es amor, ¿por qué no acaba con el sufrimiento?, se supone que es "Todopoderoso", ¿verdad? Nos dicen que Dios es bueno, justo, amoroso. Pero… si realmente lo es, ¿por qué el dolor sigue aquí? Si Dios puede sanar el cáncer de alguien, ¿por qué no el de todos? Si puede salvar a una persona de un accidente, ¿por qué deja morir a otras? ¿Es cuestión de fe, de suerte… o simplemente de favoritismo divino?, ¿Por qué ya no hace tantos milagros como en las historias de la biblia?. Tal vez Dios no es lo que nos dijeron. Tal vez no juega bajo nuestras reglas. O peor aún… ...

A existential continuation of the philosophical thought of Albert Camus in his "Myth of Sisyphus" from the perspective of acceptance of nihilism as the only sound and valid morality available in Technological Society. Whereas the work of Camus and the work of most existential thought tries to avoid nihilism, this author accepts it and argues Acceptance of it as a means for the individual soul to find value in Technological Society. This work contains several essays dealing with meaning in life, truth, and morality existentially, conceptually, and pragmatically for solving conceptual ...

St. Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582) is not known to be a philosopher and yet we can derive many important philosophical insights from her work. Proof of this is the existence of studies and dissertations from the philosophical perspective dedicated to her thought. More than this, St. Teresa de Jesus, Doctor of the Church and acknowledged Mistress of Spirituality, proposes a way of understanding philosophy, or love of wisdom, by being a spirituality or a way of living for one to become Spirit. The present work focuses on the notion of Truth, hence the title 'Spirituality of Truth," parting ...

Hindus have one God. They also have 330 million gods: male gods; female gods; personal gods; family gods; household gods; village gods; gods of space and time; gods for specific castes and particular professions; gods who reside in trees; in animals; in minerals; in geometrical patterns and in...

This is an audiobook about living immortals in their own words. Yes - I mean that - people who are hundreds if not thousands of years old are living in our world today. Their commentaries come from a discussion board I have been using for a couple of years to market my earlier book: Physical Immortality: A History and How-To Guide. There are over 12 distinct immortal personalities who posted on this board, and they all have different perspectives on their lives as immortals.

The All: The Final Testament is a groundbreaking work that transcends religion and philosophy, uniting humanity under a shared truth: all is all. Rooted in the duality of light and dark, creation and reflection, masculine and feminine, The All presents a universal framework of thought, word, and action that harmonizes science, spirituality, and timeless wisdom. It offers guiding principles through its Three Laws—Common Law, Natural Law, and the Law of the Universe—while encouraging listeners to reflect, question, and co-create their own stories.

We all need to make a retreat. To find a few moments in our busy lives to try to stop worrying and fretting about so many different things, and to sit in silence at God’s feet and just to listen. A retreat is simply an attempt to see beyond the 101 cares and occupations we normally have and to ask ourselves, ‘Where it is all leading? What’s the purpose of it all?’ Time to Change takes the basic format and principles of The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and allows us to make a retreat without interrupting too much your ordinary daily life and all the things you have to do.

In a world dominated by things, we must work hard to account for one another's personhood. We need to cultivate relational structures that honor every human's dignity in vital interpersonal community. The theological and philosophical framework known as personalism can help guide us toward such a culture. Drawing from a wide range of thought leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II, Paul Louis Metzger presents a personalist moral vision founded on the Christian ideals of faith, hope, and love.

This edition is a companion piece to the previous issue of One Possible Happening. The first volume was a short examination of the existence of a Supreme Being in three ways: by logical reason, by sacred reason, and by faith in the Bible. The use of logical reason compares a definition of God to the existence of the cosmos. A discussion of sacred reasoning adds characteristics of knowledge, power, and everlasting love to the notion of God. And the reasoning by faith in the Bible enriches the concept of a God who loves His creation and seeks interaction with the human soul. A Perfect Reason ...

En este ensayo, Rafael Domingo Oslé examina la relación entre el cristianismo y la cultura contemporánea desde una perspectiva crítica y reflexiva. Sostiene que el cristianismo no solo proporciona respuestas a estas inquietudes, sino que también actúa como una luz orientadora que llena la vida de esperanza. Rafael Domingo argumenta que los valores cristianos tienen mucho que ofrecer a nuestra vida cotidiana y ejercen una influencia significativa en áreas como la política, el derecho, la economía, la filosofía y la ciencia.

A protocol is a formally or informally set of agreed upon steps about what is to be done and how is to be done in a given situation. They serve several functions. In medicine they establish standard procedures in the light of decades or even centuries of experience. In political meetings and discussions they establish parity between the two sides. In dangerous situations protocols keep people safe. People who advocate Moral Relativism directly and indirectly attack social and moral protocols because the protocols generally tend to preserve morality, whereas moral relativism can reign only ...

This work is a translation by R.C. Thompson from the original Assyrian incantation. It describes the "Maskim ghouls", the seven wicked demons of the Mesopotamian underworld. These demons were associated with plagues and disasters like earthquakes.

Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning that reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp.

What is the esoteric significance of the beheading of John the Baptist? What is the nature of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene? Can we identify the biological father of Jesus? What mysteries are concealed within the two conflicting genealogies of Jesus? Completing the investigation begun in Volume Two of The Gnostic Notebook, the author is finally ready to decipher the seventh and final parable identified within The Secret Book of James. According to that apocryphal text, this parable, identified only as "The Woman," will lead the seeker to the secret teachings of Jesus. "...

La enfermedad mortal (1849) es un ensayo existencialista cristiano escrito por el filósofo danés Soren Kierkegaard. El libro aborda el concepto de la desesperación, el cual es tratado como una «enfermedad mortal» cuyo origen se encuentra en la incomodidad que provoca no querer ser uno mismo.

Is man's sole impulse the securing of his own approval? Do we love God or do we just love God's frequent-prayer program? Is what we call self-sacrifice really self-delusion? What's the Christian amount to tip a waiter? A spirited and passionate discussion.
