Opis

You are probably saying to yourself: Salt What is so important about salt? It is so important, a vast amount of the Bible is affected by the deeper meaning of salt. Regardless of your level of knowledge of the Bible, you will likely learn truths about God and man you have not learned anywhere else. This book contains references to over one-thousand-five-hundred Bible verses. Each verse reinforces the deeper understanding of salt in Scripture. In turn, by applying this more complete understanding of salt, you will deepen your own understanding of each of these verses, as well as many not specifically referenced. In Genesis 19:26-28, Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Leininger believes God is using Lot's wife as a sort of map legend. A pictorial guide, so to speak, which enables one to more fully understand the context and meaning of passages of the Bible in which salt, dust, and stone (as the book's subtitle indicates) are spoken of. God is saying, as it were, whenever you read about salt in Scripture, look to the story of Lot's wife for guidance; to obtain a fuller understanding of what is being discussed. Until now, Scripture scholars have interpreted this Genesis story as historically accurate, but purely symbolic in meaning. In "The Science & Theology of Salt in Scripture," you will learn that the story also informs reader of a concrete reality; a reality about the creation of man, both in soul and body. Through this deeper understanding, at least thirty-four mysteries of advanced science are uncovered. These mysteries have been hidden (in plain sight) by God in Scripture thousands of years. These mysteries are so advanced, no Old Testament fisherman, tax-collector, or tent-maker could have ever begun to comprehend them. These discoveries pertain to man himself; the whole man God is NOT anti-science. In fact, God is THE Scientist-in-Chief. God revealed to St. Hildegard that man is the most glorious of all His creation. So precious to God is man, he destined him/her to sit in judgement of even the angels (1 Cor. 6:3). This book will engender a sense of awe when you discover the intricacy, the intellect, and the beauty with which man was created by God. You WILL be amazed You will understand why the body is essential to man's being in the image and likeness of God. This book helps one to see that faith and reason; intellect and religion; theology and science -- when correctly understood -- are not in conflict with each other. It was Albert Einstein who said, "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind." Through the knowledge gained in this book, you will come to more fully grasp the why's and the how's of five of the most important verses in the Bible. They are: 1] "So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you'" (John 6:53); 2] "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:54); 3] "For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed" (John 6:55); 4] "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:56); and, 5] "As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me" (John 6:57). It was Jesus, the first-born of all creation (Col. 1:15), who was the prototype of Adam, not vice versa. Pope St. John Paul II wrote that true love in the Spirit (not biological/chemical love) could not be expressed into the physical world without the body. He said the body alone is capable of bringing the invisible into visible creation. It does so through the language of the body. After reading this book, you will come to appreciate the intricacy, preciseness, depth, height, and width of this language of the body -- the language of Love.
