The Bible Revisited: A cure for biblical dyslexia (The Nanotheology Series)

The post-apostolic church that emerged a couple of decades after the death of the last apostles in the late 60s CE would gradually begin to replace truth with theatrics. It also imported pagan ideas like the immortality of the soul and the Greek version of hades with its eternal torment for the “lost souls”. By the fourth century the post-apostolic church had also formally dethroned both God and Jesus and replaced them with the Trinity, a conceptual idol created by Tertullian in the third century. This fallen church also invented supersessionism which not only removed Israel from God’s masterplan but also eliminated the Rapture of the Christian church that Paul said would precede the Apocalypse. This tribulation is the end time when Israel will be put to its final test. Because the post-apostolic church failed to understand the Fall correctly, it has also failed to solve the so-called theodicy problem which caused God to be blamed for all the evil in the world. But this is just a pseudo-problem which will be dissolved in this book. About a century after the Reformation, bishop James Ussher tried to determine when the world must have been created according to the Bible. and he almost got it right. This book will show exactly how old mankind is according to the Old Testament. In the 19th century the geologist Charles Lyell rejected the Bible and insisted that the earth must be very old, an idea that Charles Darwin desperately needed as a foundation for his theory of evolution. A century later the physicists joined the choir and insisted that everything had come from nothing. Has Christianity been refuted or is it naturalism that slips in the slope? This is the third of twelve books in the Nanotheology series. This concept is inspired by the word nanotechnology, which refers to the manipulation of matter on an atomic scale. Only by paying careful attention to the minutest details in the Bible will we discover how much of God’s Word we have missed out on, especially during the last couple of centuries when the hermeneutics of suspicion has been in vogue in theology. The Bible is the greatest bestseller of all time, but it is poorly understood – for instead of reading what is written, most theologians have projected their private opinions upon the text. Nanotheology is all about letting the Scriptures speak for themselves.
