A candid look at the Hellenistic origins of the Christian Church and how those origins formed Christianity into what it is today. What positive attributes were lost and what negative attributes were gained. Also, what a true position evolution of the Early Church would look like in modern times and the introduction to the path to Enlightenment based on how such a transformation has the potential to truly evolve humanity.
PART1, brings Biblical opposing viewpoints to the traditional monotheistic, trinitarian, beliefs of God. Other long held cornerstones of the establishment are also challenged such as the gender and sexuality of God. The Big-Bang is used as a source for creation and understanding the composition of God, Divine Beings (Angels and Demons) as well as Heaven, Hell, and Creation. The relationship between the Divine and Humanity is also completely redefined. As with all of the B.E.R. books, the discussion is candid and groundbreaking.

As primitive civilization developed, society has established cornerstones in our thought and reasoning. Things we are told repeatedly as fact from birth and are thus believed instinctively. Many of these cornerstones now date back many millennia such as the Bible. The BER Series takes a candid look into the Bible to explore how the theological beliefs within Institutional Religion have affected society in diabolical ways. These books also challenge the church's theological cornerstones to prove that they deviate from the Bible and truly have an obscured understanding of the Divine. Thus, the goal is to bring an overdue debate to organized religion. The hope is to remove the barriers that deny humanity the evolution of our species. No topic is out of bounds. A person could listen to ten lifetimes of sermons and never get even a fraction of the candor of these books. Love them or hate them, you will be unable to put them down and you will never see the World or the Divine the same way again.

Devilution is the interjection of the devil, his philosophies, ideologies, and rebellion into God’s creation, including the affairs of man’s existence throughout history, focusing on the emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of man’s relating to God and other human beings. The word devilution will be synonymous with devolution and will serve as a surrogate for this word in many instances, revealing man’s true spiritual state.
Leading Bible Scholars Explore Why the Theory of Theistic Evolution Conflicts with Christian Doctrine Even Christians strongly debate Scripture's account of creation, with some declaring that major events in the book of Genesis—from the origin of Adam and Eve to God's curse on the world—were purely symbolic. Several respected scholars endorse this theory, but is it consistent with the Bible's teaching? In A Biblical Case against Theistic Evolution, condensed and adapted from Theistic Evolution, Wayne Grudem and other leading scholars challenge the belief that Genesis is mostly symbolic, rather than a true, historical narrative. Grudem examines 12 specific events in Genesis 1–3 and explains why acknowledging their historicity is critical to understanding the rest of Scripture. He also emphasizes several foundational doctrines, including God's ongoing involvement in creation, the beginnings of mankind, and the origin of sin and death, to show readers how the theory of theistic evolution undermines essential truths throughout the Old and New Testaments. Defends the Biblical Account of Creation: Explains why theistic evolution is incompatible with the teachings of the Old Testament Written by Leading Theological Scholars: Contributors include John D. Currid, Guy Prentiss Waters, Gregg R. Allison, and Fred G. Zaspel An In-Depth Look at Genesis: Examines 12 key biblical events in the first 3 chapters of the Bible Helpful, Condensed Guide: Adapted from Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
This book examines the beliefs of theistic evolutionists from the perspective of the teaching of the Bible. It is demonstrated that theistic evolution is not consistent with the truth revealed in the Bible, and undermines a number of key Gospel doctrines including the nature and mortality of man, the origin of sin and death, and the inspiration of the scriptures.
Socially engaged religion teaches that people of faith have a responsibility to address and reduce suffering in all its forms, both physical and spiritual, including suffering resulting from social injustice, exploitation, oppression, false faith, and so forth. True religion engages with society to alleviate suffering and bring transformation. In other words, religious violence is an obscenity, a deviation from the true character of religion. Martin Luther's Theology of Two Kingdoms in Buddhist and Christian Communities examines the principle of separation between religion and politics in the context of both Buddhist and Christian communities. In predominantly Buddhist contexts such as Myanmar, where a reciprocal relationship between religion and politics is expected, separation is not effective. Attempts by Christians to separate religion and politics cause the church to run away from tyranny and follow the state with blind obedience. Martin Luther’s model of two distinct but interconnected systems for religion and politics creates space for each institution to give constructive advice and criticism to the other for the health of all human beings.
