This book is a declaration of spiritual warfare, a call to rekindle the fire of the Reformation! Although this battle has been ongoing through many ages, it is time for this generation to know that it must chose which side it will fight on. There can be no peace between Christianity and the religion of the pope! Will you stand for the Reformation and for the gospel of Jesus Christ, or will you capitulate into apostasy?...

We are saved by grace alone, not grace and the power of human free will; but by God’s grace alone! A grace of infinite and eternal power which always accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it never fails! The question is not just was the death of Christ necessary, but is it sufficient to save us from all our sins and completely set us free from the ancient curse? That is the fundamentally crucial and pivotal question that is constantly overlooked in current dialogues about Evangelicals and Roman Catholics together! Most people don’t even realize how different the papist and the biblical teaching on the atonement are! The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the merits of Christ’s life and death as well as the merits of all the saint s are now held in this thing called the treasury of merits. These merits must now be applied to us through human works and sacraments, which is so blasphemous because now, they teach that even the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice and his righteous life must be earned! The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice are now withheld from you in a reservoir called the treasury of m...

Description Details
Some 2500 years ago in ancient Northeast India, a young, brilliant and courageous man discovered the sublime answer to how the mind works and how to realise unconditioned happiness and bliss. For the next 45 years, he devoted his life to teaching the doctrine that helped bring unparalleled happiness, peace and relief to numerous people long after his death. In time stories began to emerge proclaiming his greatness and his near-divinity status. Over generations and into distant lands, those stories took on a life of their own. Eventually the real man is buried under a mountain of beautiful fantasies and magical tales. Scholars in Buddhist studies have never lost sight of the historical Buddha. There is a beautiful story to tell about the real man but the materials never quite made it to the mass market because academic books are generally hard to read and appreciate. This book seeks to bring the historical Buddha back into the popular psyche. That story is as intriguing, and is perhaps even more inspiring than the best fantasy story that had ever been woven....

"Buddha did not waste time with external worldly conditions. He had seen through their transient nature and decided to go in search of happiness directly and not derive it through conditional proxies. At 35 (quite the prime ofhis life), Buddha knew exactly what it was like to taste that exquisite inner peace that is not dependant on fickle, short-lived external conditions. After six years of exacting spiritual practice under very painful conditions, he succeeded in his quest to realise unconditioned happiness (nibbana). By any yardstick, that attainment alone would already have made his life deeply meaningful. While the rest of the world hankers after passing moments of delight, he abided in deep contentment and happiness as a matter of course. There is no comparison!"...

“Go now and wander for the welfare and happiness of many, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, welfare and happiness of gods and men. Teach the Dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end, with the meaning and the letter. Explain a holy life that is utterly perfect and pure. There are beings with little dust in their eyes who will be lost through not hearing the Dhamma. Some will understand the Dhamma.”...

5) “…do not worry about your life..”-Matt. 6,25 “what you will eat (or drink), or about your body; what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?...can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life span?...Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”-Matt. 6, 25-34 In these words, Jesus commands us to stop worrying about our life and its circumstances; and that we must trust in God; that He will provide all that we truly need. We are to learn from the way that the flowers grow, and the grass in the field; God provides for them. The birds of the air and all of God’s creatures and processes of this world are well in hand, under God’s watchful eye. Nothing in God’s creation worries except man. We have been given the power of rational thought but we abuse it by questioning God’s purpose for us and His ability to take care of us. We venture down the road of self-reliance and self-s...

More by far, in a very low-key way Jesus let his understanding of his identity be known. He never was so crass as to stand on a soap box and announce “Listen up, I'm the Son of God!” but rather waited for those who knew him well to reach that conclusion for themselves. The most significant occasion appears in Matthew 16:13 ff, where he asks his twelve disciples who they think he is. Peter is the one who answered “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” and at once, Jesus replied “thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.” That exchange is central to understanding the identity of Jesus, yet is very controversial – as we'll see below. It's a play on words. They were of course speaking Aramaic, which has fallen out of use except in a few parts of Syria, so we don't know exactly what was said – but we do have Matthew's Greek version, and the play on words is clear there. “Peter” was the disciple's name, a proper noun, Πέτρος (Petros) - and “this rock” was a noun, πέτρᾳ (petra.) To what did “this rock” refer? - Roman Catholics insist it referred to Peter as a person, and his successors as (eventua...

We all have questions regarding God’s paradise in heaven; as Christians, there is nothing more disappointing as spending all your life on earth convinced that you will go to Paradise when you die only to arrive there and hear Jesus say to you, “You are not saved; you are going to hell.” There are more than 6,000 spoken languages in the world but one thing that sets heaven apart from the earth is the fact that there is only one language in Heaven. A good knowledge of the Language of Heaven will prepare you to better understand the Holy Bible, the teachings of Jesus Christ, his parables, and the miracles he performed. This book will introduce you to the Language of Heaven, answer your questions about heaven, prepare you for the struggles of this world, and ultimately help to prepare you for Jesus Christ. When you read this book, you will know without any doubts if indeed you are truly saved and ready to enter God’s paradise in Heaven. This book is Volume One of “Face to Face Meetings with Jesus Christ” trilogy and a must-read for every soul. Felix Wantang has been meeting face-to-face with Jesus Christ since October 1991.

If God lives in heaven and the Bible is His holy word, then the Bible must be from heaven. If the Bible is from heaven where God lives, then the Bible is definitely written in the Language of Heaven. If the Bible is the Language of Heaven, then the Bible must be interpreted using the Language of Heaven. As far as Biblical interpretations and mysteries are concerned, strictly using the Language of the World to interpret the Holy Bible explains why the Church for the most part, has completely lost its way. No human is equipped with the supernatural power to successfully interpret the Holy Bible; only the Holy Spirit can effectively do that job because the Holy Bible is nothing but the Spirit of God exposed to humanity in the Language of Heaven. If the Bible is the supernatural word of God, then the Bible is also written in the Language of a nation where everything including life is supernatural. That nation is called Heaven....
