The interpretation of this gospel integrates an objective analysis of its historical context and a subjective semantic disclosure of meaning. To that end, a close reading of the text is combined with consistency building in order to achieve textual congruence and plenitude of meaning. The subject/ object split of traditional biblical scholarship that requires analysis in order to produce explanation as a definable object is superseded in this book by the event of reading as a dynamic happening of personal experience from which the reader cannot detach herself or himself.

Why do you need to read this book? Simply for eternal salvation and everlasting life. Also, to be able to differentiate the truth from false religious doctrines. You see, the world has you thinking that if you are a good person, a good citizen, you feed the poor, you give to charity, you help the elderly, you volunteer in a hospital, you serve your community, and so on that you then die and automatically go to heaven. Wrong. The truth is Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. It's not about how good you are. It's about what he did for you. So if you want to know the truth, I challenge you to read this book cover to cover, and I will promise you that you will change and receive the answers to the questions that rattle your mind. You will look at the world in a different light, and your spiritual eye will be opened. In addition, most people think that if they accept Jesus, they automatically go to heaven. Well, they are correct. But what they don't take to account is consequences. You see, you can be born again, and your final destination will be heaven. But you probably get there a little quicker and with much pain and suffering. You see, when you get born again, the battle starts right there and then. You are marked. And this pertains to believers. But if you haven't accepted Jesus, well life has never begun for you because you are spiritually dead. You see, a nonbeliever understands man's laws, good and bad. But what a nonbeliever needs to understand is salvation. Now salvation is not a license to sin, whether you are saved or unsaved. You will have to deal with consequences of your sin. Salvation simply means your final eternal destination. In this book, you will discover truth and everlasting life. And the truth will set you free. In addition, there are many topics that I cover in this little book that will greatly bless you in your spiritual walk in life. I pray you discover them all in Jesus name. Amen.

I believe it was the message of the day one Sunday, when he preached about hell. I left church scared for the first time, in fear because of how he described hell. This then started my lifelong quest to understand why. Why is there a hell, and how could this be fair? I did not ask for this. I thought, Who would want to take such a chance to live life and not get these rules right and suffer eternity in hell? This book begins by describing the events of the war in heaven as described in Revelation 12:7-11, as a foundation establishing that life did exist before the earth was created, the proof also being found in Genesis itself. That is where we find Satan as a serpent. This is what could be considered as Exhibit ASatan in the Garden of Eden, proof of his existence on earth after he was cast down from heaven into the earth. This book presents many more important questions that serve as a key to unlocking the mysteries of creation. One example is, how, why, and when our spirits were created. My research and years of study of the Bible reveal to me that our spirits were created before we were born and will still exist after we die.

This book is intended to provide you with common sense and sound advice about life from an everyday perspective. The true value and meaning of life can only be found through God. It is my attempt to convey in this book the impact that disobedience to God's word, as revealed in the Bible, have on our ordinary lives. This book will encourage us to develop authentic lives, connecting with each other in this great world God has given to us, and establish unity with one another through moral standards of conduct. You will come to realize that God is indeed Omniscience, Omnipresence, and Omnipotent when you ponder and meditate on his word. You will find in this book clear guidance for correct behavior, helpful points of views on the value of resisting destructive influences in life. You will develop an understanding of not only why but how God is unrelenting towards those who keep opposing him. You will understand the many ways God shows us mercy and forgiveness when we repent because of his compassion for us. We need to keep God first in our life even during our trying times because there is always hope when we maintain a meaningful relationship with God. Finally, this book is intended to encourage one to strive toward perfection with their life. Although we may never reach perfection; because no one is perfect but God; we should be thankful for the mercy and grace that he provided and affords to us in spite of our imperfections.
