What is Postmodernism? What is Deconstruction? How do these relate to biblical faith? Can they result in the "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" - "the sin that leads to death"? In 1 Corinthians 2:10-16, Paul explained that one must have the Holy Spirit in order to receive and understand the things God freely gives and reveals by the Spirit. So, those without the Holy Spirit can neither receive nor understand the things of God. The question naturally arises: Those who have "deconstructed their faith" and "deconverted" - did they ever have the Holy Spirit to begin with? And a still more complicated question also arises: Is it possible that these people had the Holy Spirit, and then lost the Holy Spirit.? Is there a scriptural basis for the possibility of the Holy Spirit being removed? What initiates the removing of the Holy Spirit? And what are the spiritual results of the Spirit being removed? This article investigates those questions and issues, seeking answers and explanations from Scripture.

One often hears the term 'blasphemy against the Holy Spirit', particularly from the mouths of those within the Charismatic movement. Many non-Charismatics and Charismatics alike who persistently question various doctrines and practices considered by the Charismatic movement to be of God, are quite often confronted with the warning to take heed lest they be in danger of committing the unpardonable sin. This book presents a biblical examination of the term 'blasphemy against the Holy Spirit', and compares its use today with what the Lord Jesus Christ meant when He warned of the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It then shifts the spotlight onto the Charismatic movement itself: its claims of healings, miracles, prophecies and other signs, and most importantly its gospel, and poses the question, 'Is the Charismatic movement of God?'

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the sin that no one talks about is a book born under the anointing and inspiration of the Holy spirit of God. While we walk in the Christian path and follow the footsteps of Christ, we sometimes lost our focus on who God really is. For God is a Spirit, and the people that worship him, should worship him in the Spirit and in truth, for he is truth. Sometimes the focus is lost on seeing God as a Spirit, and it amazes me how Christians give less reverence to the Spirit of God and also how easily a Christian can blaspheme the Holy spirit, whether consciously or unconsciously. At times the focus is placed upon a physical being, but god is not physical, he is a Spirit. It sheds light on how one can improve their relationship with God on a more intimate level. For having a relationship with God is the most desired of all relationship one should pursue or yearns after. This book enlightens one's understanding on the unforgiven sin of blasphemies against the Holy Spirit of God. It explains and expands what that sin is, how to avoid it and lets one knows if they had already committed such a sin, in which place there is not anything that can be done, for God is not slack concerning his word, whatsoever he speak shall come to pass. There is not one jot to be taken out of his word, his promises are yes and amen. This book also encourage Christians on how to grow in their Spiritual walk with God and man, moving from drinking the milk of the word, to eating the meat of the word. For milk is liquid and meat is solid, and remains longer in the body. The word of God have to become solid in our body, soul and spirit. As Christians, we are encouraged to walk circumspectly and uprightly before God, and to live lives that are pure and holy, for such is the desired plan of our God for us.

Pamela Eisenbaum, an expert on early Christianity, reveals the true nature of the historical Paul in Paul Was Not a Christian. She explores the idea of Paul not as the founder of a new Christian religion, but as a devout Jew who believed Jesus was the Christ who would unite Jews and Gentiles and fulfill God’s universal plan for humanity. Eisenbaum’s work in Paul Was Not a Christian will have a profound impact on the way many Christians approach evangelism and how to better follow Jesus’s—and Paul’s—teachings on how to live faithfully today.

A gripping story of how an entire family, deeply enmeshed in Mormonism for thirty years, found their way out and found faith in Jesus Christ. For thirty years, Lynn Wilder, once a tenured faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation: God knew him personally. God loved him. And the Mormon Church did not offer the true gospel. Micah's conversion to Christ put the family in a tailspin. They wondered, Have we believed the wrong thing for decades? If we leave Mormonism, what does this mean for our safety, jobs, and relationships? Is Christianity all that different from Mormonism anyway? As Lynn tells her story of abandoning the deception of Mormonism to receive God's grace, she gives a rare look into Mormon culture, what it means to grow up Mormon, and why the contrasts between Mormonism and Christianity make all the difference in the world. Whether you are in the Mormon Church, are curious about Mormonism, or simply are looking for a gripping story, Unveiling Grace will strengthen your faith in the true God who loves you no matter what.

"Throughout his various stages, Dylan's work reveals an affinity with the Zen worldview, where enlightenment can be attained through self-contemplation and intuition rather than through faith and devotion. Much has been made of Dylan's Christian periods, but never before has a book engaged Dylan's deep and rich oeuvre through a Buddhist lens."--Back cover.

Challenges to the reliability of Scripture are perennial and have frequently been addressed. However, some of these challenges are noticeably more common today, and the topic is currently of particular interest among evangelicals. In this volume, highly regarded biblical scholar Craig Blomberg offers an accessible and nuanced argument for the Bible's reliability in response to the extreme views about Scripture and its authority articulated by both sides of the debate. He believes that a careful analysis of the relevant evidence shows we have reason to be more confident in the Bible than ever before. As he traces his own academic and spiritual journey, Blomberg sketches out the case for confidence in the Bible in spite of various challenges to the trustworthiness of Scripture, offering a positive, informed, and defensible approach.
