| eternity driven life: Rethinking Hell Joshua W Anderson, Christopher M Date, Gregory G Stump, 2014-11-27 Many Christians believe that people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favour of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed. However, due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the 'second death' -an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earle Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell. |
| eternity driven life: A Heart Ablaze John Bevere, 1999-10-30 God delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage to captivate them for Himself. In the arid wilderness He planned to reveal His nature and ways to them, but they drew back. How different are we today? Many confess the Lordship of Jesus and acknowledge His saving power, yet like Israel, they've drawn back. Rather than pursuing His heart they have cleaved to this world's form of worship-the worship of self. As a result we have changed the image of Jesus to be like us. Fire can alter these images. The fire we need is found in the Holiness of God. God is calling us to draw nearer still...to tremble on Mt. Zion...transformed to touch others. |

| eternity driven life: Eternity in the Midst of Time Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, 2019-01-21 Can time be our friend? At first glance the question seems ridiculous, because the apparent scarcity of time is a constant source of stress in our busy lives. There are not enough hours in the day, we say as we collapse late at night. Deep down we know that we cannot go on like this. Father Stinnisen's book dares us to see time with new eyes. The insight that eternity is written in the depths of our hearts helps us to live in time in a way that leads us deeper into God's joy. We are like children in a land of fairy tales where everything is exciting and exploration never ends.We therefore should rejoice that everything around us is great and mysterious and that we can live in eternal wonder. His intention is not to explain what time is and thus take away its mystery. Instead, his aim is to show us how to see time from different perspectives and to discover how rich and multifaceted it is. Above all, he demonstrates how we can make use of the tremendous possibilities that time offers to us. |
| eternity driven life: They Said This Would Be Fun Eternity Martis, 2021-07-13 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Winner of the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Nonfiction Nominated for the Evergreen Award A powerful, moving memoir about what it's like to be a student of colour on a predominantly white campus. A booksmart kid from Toronto, Eternity Martis was excited to move away to Western University for her undergraduate degree. But as one of the few Black students there, she soon discovered that the campus experiences she'd seen in movies were far more complex in reality. Over the next four years, Eternity learned more about what someone like her brought out in other people than she did about herself. She was confronted by white students in blackface at parties, dealt with being the only person of colour in class and was tokenized by her romantic partners. She heard racial slurs in bars, on the street, and during lectures. And she gathered labels she never asked for: Abuse survivor. Token. Bad feminist. But, by graduation, she found an unshakeable sense of self--and a support network of other women of colour. Using her award-winning reporting skills, Eternity connects her own experience to the systemic issues plaguing students today. It's a memoir of pain, but also resilience. |
| eternity driven life: Eternity Invading Time Renny G. Mcclean, Renrick G. McLean, 2005-07 In the Old Testament, God's people saw Him in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. In the New Testament, the religious world thought they had God in a box behind the veil. When Jesus died, the veil was rent and God went public. In an ever changing world where the darkness prides itself by proclaiming they have psychic insights for every person, the church has become anemic, without as much as a sign, a miracle or a wonder. Where do we go from here? Faith is at a level the church has never known before. It is a faith being seen in the here and now. We must understand what Jesus meant when He said, I only do what I hear and what I see My Father do and say. You are about to enter that eternal zone, where time is losing its grip on the earth. Eternity is Invading Time. |
| eternity driven life: Eternity and Time Dumitru Staniloae, 2001 Fairacres Publications 136 God has given us the gift of time. Through that gift, we have the opportunity to grow in response to God’s love, but we are always free to choose whether or not we wish to do so and thereby to live eternity. The life of the Trinity is the life of eternity, yet God accepted the limitations of our lives, including our mortality, in taking on human form in Jesus. Because of the incarnation of Jesus, time enters into eternity, and eternity is brought into time. |
| eternity driven life: An Eye for Eternity Mark McKenna, 2011 Manning Clark was a complex, demanding and brilliant man. Mark McKenna's compelling biography of this giant of Australia's cultural landscape is informed by his reading of Clark's extensive private letters, journals and diaries-many that have never been read before. An Eye for Eternity paints a sweeping portrait of the man who gave Australians the signature account of their own history. It tells of his friendships with Patrick White and Sidney Nolan. It details an urgent and dynamic marriage, ripped apart at times by Clark's constant need for extramarital romantic love. A son who wrote letters to his dead parents. A historian who placed narrative ahead of facts. A doubter who flirted with Catholicism. A controversial public figure who marked slights and criticisms with deeply held grudges. To understand Clark's life is to understand twentieth century Australia. And it raises fundamental questions about the craft of biography. When are letters too personal, comments too hurtful and insights too private to publish? Clark incessantly documented his life-leaving notes to the biographers he knew would pursue his story. He had a deep need to be remembered and this book means he will now be understood in an unforgettable way.

| eternity driven life: Four Views on Hell John F. Walvoord, Zachary J. Hayes, Clark H. Pinnock, 2010-08-10 Most contemporary Christians acknowledge the doctrine of hell, but they’d rather not think about how God punishes the wicked. The authors of Four Views on Hell meet this subject head-on with different views on what the Scriptures say. Is hell to be understood literally as a place of eternal smoke and flames? Or are such images simply metaphors for a real but different form of punishment? Is there such a thing as “conditional immortality,” in which God annihilates the souls of the wicked rather than punishing them endlessly? Is there a Purgatory, and if so, how does it fit into the picture? The interactive Counterpoints forum allows the reader to see the four views on hell—literal, metaphorical, conditional, and purgatorial—in interaction with each other. Each view in turn is presented, critiqued, and defended. This evenhanded approach is ideal for comparing and contrasting views in order to form a personal conclusion about one of Christianity’s key doctrines. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series. |

| eternity driven life: Visual Theology Tim Challies, Josh Byers, 2016 We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas. But the visual portrayal of truth is not a novel idea. Indeed, God himself used visuals to teach truth to his people. The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a visual representation of man's distance from God and God's condescension to his people. Each part of the tabernacle was meant to display something of man's treason against God and God's kind response. Likewise, the sacraments of the New Testament are visual representations of man's sin and God's response. Even the cross was both reality and a visual demonstration. As teachers and lovers of sound theology, Challies and Byers have a deep desire to convey the concepts and principles of systematic theology in a fresh, beautiful and informative way. In this book, they have made the deepest truths of the Bible accessible in a way that can be seen and understood by a visual generation. |

| eternity driven life: Our Brilliant Eternity Paul Edward Baribault, 2020-02-27 From its opening 'Our Brilliant Eternity' anchors its pages to words spoken by Christ two thousand years ago, that ... heaven is within, and all around us. It asserts that heaven doesn't just exist in some future time or place, but is present, now. Like the sports elevation referred to as being in the zone, the book affirms in its prelude that there is a heaven zone, a parallel reality, one can physically experience here. And that once felt, whether for days, hours or even minutes, many questions about life disappear in the enveloping beauty of that phenomenon.Following this, 'Our Brilliant Eternity' unfolds its central premise, that life on Earth delivers an essential portion of the soul's climb, in its potential reach toward Enlightenment - and how our planet in this journey is a Schoolroom, not a courtroom - to which we return again and again, as we meet and re-meet each other and grow in stature and spiritual understanding. Across its eight chapters the book's Christian author is unwaveringly assertive, sometimes humorous, always firm in his challenges to questionable religious notions and doctrines.Independent thinking and unique chapter openings give harbor to this work, with some of the most poignant writing found in its Preface, where the author takes aim at the familiar teaching of One & Done Theology: That we have just one Earthly chance to save our eternal soul, and that this outcome is unavoidable. It is a human projection the author asserts and confronts with this irrefutable sentence: What a hurtful tender would be the gift of free will from God's heart if, in its giving, eternal suffering for many souls was foreknown.These headings from the book's Table of Contents portray its gentle scope best: A Mountain Miracle and Remembered States of Beauty; The Merit & Equity of Reincarnation - and, conversely, the cruel unfairness of eternal confinement for billions of souls; on Universal Salvation and The Precision of Mercy; in The Matchless Chambers of the Heart; and, NDEs (near death experiences) and the New Age of Reason.In its thrust, 'Our Brilliant Eternity' joins other inspired books by Christian writers and clergy currently riding the surge of reform, that gives this traditional faith a more embracive and appealing image - affirming that a place in Heaven is, in the end, every soul's ultimate destiny.That everyone has a brilliant eternity, as a child of God: An assertion the author secures in these words from the Old Testament, also cited by the captain of his faith, the carpenter from Nazareth: I have said, ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.'Gloria in Excelsis Deo' are the concluding words to this inclusive and inspired work, as evidenced in its Appendix of God-given sonnets. |

| eternity driven life: Hell Know Dirk Waren, 2014-11-26 Hell is a hot topic! The Bible teaches that unredeemed people will stand before God on Judgment Day and those whose names are not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. The Bible calls this the second death. What is the nature of this second death? Will these people suffer fiery torment forever and ever, as has been taught since the time of Augustine in the early 5th century? Or will they essentially be BURNED UP-literally destroyed forever with no hope of resurrection? And what about universalism, the idea that everyone will ultimately be saved?The author used to subscribe to the eternal torture doctrine until he honestly studied the Scriptures and discovered what they plainly teach on the subject-EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION. The biblical evidence is actually overwhelming! Read HELL KNOW and see for yourself. HELL KNOW leaves no stone unturned on the topic and has been a hit on the internet for years. This is the NEW revised version with additional sections. |
