Publisher's Synopsis
As you read this book, the thoughts might cross your mind: "Why did the author choose to write it?" "What is he trying to accomplish with these words?" You might even feel like I am attacking your dearly held beliefs for no reason. I want to assure you that I have nothing against you or anyone else who holds to the things I am addressing in these pages. To the contrary, for many years I have seen Christians who are bound by the erroneous concepts I am speaking of here, and as a result have become defeated, distressed, depressed, and disillusioned. They wonder why God is angry at them and why He is bringing so much hardship into their lives. They are trapped in a mindset that holds God responsible for all the evil and pain not only in their lives but also in the lives of their loved ones and indeed the entire human race. At some point, these false beliefs have destroyed their faith. Year after year of hearing these things have slowly eroded that simple, child-like faith that they first possessed.9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.Before you read this book, ask yourself if you are ready to confront the truth about the things that are in the Word and in the world around you. Do you see the dichotomy between the "God is in control of everything" teaching and the obvious contradictions you see in the world around you? Are you ready to throw down the childish things and step up into adulthood? The decision is yours. It is also possible that you are not ready for this and cannot bare the truths we are about to uncover. Jesus, Paul, and Peter all stated that this could be the case. Take care in your decision.John 16:1212. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.1 Corinthians 3:1-21. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.2. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.2 Peter 3:15-1615. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.Version 10/16/2014
