From a layman's point of view the author attempts to interpret some of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted Scriptures of the Bible in a layman's language so that they may be easily understood by those who seek to know the Word of God and so that they may not be misinterpreted by those who seek to preach the Word of God. He also attempts to show how the Scriptures are manipulated by those who seek to make personal and material gain from the Word of God at the expense of their own flock. This is in order that the readers of this book may understand some of the most important Scriptures of the Bible, teach them within the Scriprures own accord and for all believers to be aware of the manipulators of the Word of God hiding in the church of God exploiting the very souls they are supposed to save.

The Bible Doesn't Say That explores what the Bible meant before it was misinterpreted over the past 2,000 years. Acclaimed translator and biblical scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short, straightforward chapters, he covers morality, life-style, theology, and biblical imagery, including: *The Bible doesn't call homosexuality a sin, and it doesn't advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed "biblical." *The Bible's famous "beat their swords into plowshares" is matched by the militaristic, "beat your plowshares into swords." *The often-cited New Testament quotation "God so loved the world" is a mistranslation, as are the titles "Son of Man" and "Son of God." *The Ten Commandments don't prohibit killing or coveting. What does the Bible say about violence? About the Rapture? About keeping kosher? About marriage and divorce? Hoffman provides answers to all of these and more, succinctly explaining how so many pivotal biblical answers came to be misunderstood.

It is amazing what God has done for us, how overwhelming this is, how unrestricted it is, and how it upsets every natural principle upon which we depend and naturally build our lives. In Living in Freedom, author James G. Groth shares an understanding of Gods grace, the new covenant, and the role they play in our lives by exploring: the current world situation and the impact it has on our lives; the differences and purpose of the covenants and how they affect our lives today; the problem of basing our lives on our concepts of good and evil; the historical, conceptual, personal, and relational aspects of the new covenant ; the mixing the lifestyles of law and grace; and the concept of forgiveness. Groth also considered what it means to be a new creation, to be born again, and the consequences which take us into a life of freedom, as well as what it means to live by the spirit rather than by the letter of the law. He examines 1 John 1:9 and explains it in context with the times, the struggle of cults, and in the context of Pauls letters. Living in Freedom addresses the true meaning of salvation and encourages Christians to walk in their faith to attain that salvation.

Every Christian who has experienced the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit should desire to know the wholeness of the Holy Spirit. The intimacy, unity, and growth in the Kingdom are promoted by our lives in God, the Holy Spirit. He is active in our prayer life, decision making process, spiritual warfare, maturity and clarity in biblical principles, just to name a few. God the Holy Spirit will help us discover the promised release of fire to keep us motivated to live towards our eternal destiny. God the Holy Spirit will add the ammunition to recognize the fact that the Holy Spirit is the most neglected and unappreciated third person of the Trinity. Christianity will be a more desirable spiritual lifestyle as all people become obedient to His purpose, value, and His influences in the kingdom.
