Can a love for God blind us to the controversy He creates in His wisdom?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the author of \u003ci\u003eMaybe Everyone Is Wrong: Revelation, Conspiracy, and the Kingdom of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFire In The Rabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e comes a new provocative analysis about the state of Christianity in a world of Satanic deception. In this series, Terry Wolfe explores the paradox of worshiping an Almighty Creator who treats the world as His footstool and sends mixed messages even to those who follow His Word faithfully. Why does it have to be this way? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod's Fault\u003c\/i\u003e is partially a lament, partially a defense, and mostly a study. The first book in the series explores the question of the biblical text itself, with its misunderstood history and language. Can we take it as a divinely-inspired work of perfect veracity, or do we need to update our idea of what divine inspiration means? Other questions laid out in this book include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDoes faith require ignorance?\u003c\/b\u003e Can the Bible-believer keep a steady trust in God while admitting the holy text has (even superficial) problems?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWere the texts written by God or man?\u003c\/b\u003e Were they meant to be literal, accurate and free from contradictions? And if it does have some flaws, who should we blame? Isn't God still in control?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHave the Bible translators hidden meanings\u003c\/b\u003e that were in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages? How much are we missing in modern English, and what might it change?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eAre there really hidden codes in the Bible?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat could God have done differently\u003c\/b\u003e if He really was concerned about \u003ci\u003eeveryone\u003c\/i\u003e learning the Truth?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe more we love God, the more we want to understand Him, and fundamentalists believe the best way to do that is to study the Scriptures. But they are often scared of what they find, and run into assumptions. Mystical legends, grand claims, and ridiculous assumptions bog down the fundamentalist agenda to promote the Bible as the key to God's wisdom in an age when technology and scholarship gives the advantage to the skeptic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's something tragic about fundamentalism that sets the stage for a much deeper analysis of God's plan to lift mankind out of ignorance and teach him what matters. Faith has never been more problematic, but information has never been more available to those who have faith. In order to worship God truthfully, the modern Christian must strip away the old comforts and re-examine theology with a stark acknowledgement that the problems we face are God's fault.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 16, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52758164078899,"sku":"9781738021406","price":24.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/mfChELIYZx9781738021406.webp?v=1764424767","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-paradox-of-fundamentalism-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
