THE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE


Book Description

God’s Signature in DNA, The Rapture, The Great Tribulation, Armageddon War (World War III) The concept of God's signature in DNA is a fascinating topic that explores the intricate design and complexity of the human genome. Many creationists and religious believers see the complexity and precision of DNA as evidence of an intelligent designer or creator, pointing to the existence of a higher power. The idea that DNA contains a signature of God's handiwork is a theme often discussed in religious and philosophical circles, highlighting the wonder and mystery of life itself. Moving on to the topics of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the Armageddon War, these concepts are deeply embedded in Christian eschatology, or the study of end times. The Rapture is believed to be the biblical event where believers are taken up to heaven to be with God before a period of tribulation and judgment on earth. The Great Tribulation is a period of intense suffering and turmoil that is prophesied to occur before the final battle of Armageddon, believed by the author to be World War III. These apocalyptic beliefs have captured the imagination of many believers and have inspired countless books, movies, and religious teachings. While interpretations of these events may vary among different Christian denominations, the underlying message of hope, redemption, and faith in the face of adversity remains a central theme.







The Morality of Self-Defense and Military Action


Book Description

Shedding new light on a controversial and intriguing issue, this book will reshape the debate on how the Judeo-Christian tradition views the morality of personal and national self-defense. Are self-defense, national warfare, and revolts against tyranny holy duties—or violations of God's will? Pacifists insist these actions are the latter, forbidden by Judeo-Christian morality. This book maintains that the pacifists are wrong. To make his case, the author analyzes the full sweep of Judeo-Christian history from earliest times to the present, combining history, scriptural analysis, and philosophy to describe the changes and continuity of Jewish and Christian doctrine about the use of lethal force. He reveals the shifting patterns of thought in both religions and presents the strongest arguments on both sides of the issue. The book begins with the ancient Hebrews and Genesis and covers Jewish history through the Holocaust and beyond. The analysis then shifts to the story of Christianity from its origins, through the Middle Ages and the Reformation, up the present day. Based on this scrutiny, the author concludes that—contrary to popular belief—the legitimacy of self-defense is strongly supported by Judeo-Christian scripture and commentary, by philosophical analysis, and by the respect for human dignity and human rights on which both Judaism and Christianity are based.
