Explaining the Cross: Why did Jesus have to die? Millions of people believe that Jesus died so that God could forgive them, but why? Why would God need an innocent man to die to forgive us? Isn't it an injustice for God to punish an innocent man for the crimes of another? Why couldn't he simply forgive us without Jesus dying, just as we forgive one another without exacting some form of punishment? How does this all make sense? This book takes a fresh look at the information. There are two additional works included in this volume: Divine Healing: The Biblical Approach Divine Healing: The Biblical Approach takes a look at the Biblical guidelines for receiving healing. The modern method of "name it and claim it" just isn't working. So many people pray for healing, but so few receive it. Is there perhaps a flaw in our methodology? What does the Bible have to teach us on this subject? Who is the Antichrist? When is the Rapture? There are many details about the coming Antichrist that mainstream theologians rarely address. Who is he? Is he a normal man? What doctrine will he use to deceive the masses? This book also shows that the rapture, Jesus' return for those who believe in him, does not occur until after the Antichrist comes. The notion that Christians will dissapear now at any moment before the tribulation period is not found in the Bible.
