New Book Reevaluates the Biblical Jesus
Denver, CO (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- "Jesus always pointed his disciples to the Father as the one whom they were to acknowledge as God," says author, Jason Kerrigan. "According to the Gospel of John, chapter twenty, verse 17, Jesus told Mary Magdalene that he had the same God as did his disciples. If that doesn't sound like a fact that coincides with Trinitarianism, it is because it doesn't."
The Trinitarian interpretation of the Bible states that God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but Jason believes that only the Father was considered by Jesus and the early Christians to be the true God. "One of Jesus' prayers is recorded in the seventeenth chapter of John's gospel," says Jason, "wherein he says, 'Father . . . this is eternal life, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.' Furthermore, Paul of Tarsus, the man who wrote the majority of the New Testament scriptures, penned the words, 'To us, there is but one God, the Father.'"
As a former Trinitarian Jason is familiar with the arguments that are made from the Bible to promote the idea that Jesus was divine. "There are a few passages within our English translations of the Bible that have been mistranslated and misinterpreted," says Jason, "but the greater part of the book I have written is geared precisely towards the issue of reconciling those texts with the rest of the Bible."
"When I was proofreading the manuscript for this book, I was repeatedly surprised by the insights revealed in Jason's writing," says Beverly Parks, "I found Restoring the Biblical Christ to be an engaging, thought-provoking work, especially for those who hold a traditional Trinitarian view of God. If you've never questioned what you've been taught or never examined other views, then you owe it to yourself to read this book so that you can at least say with confidence that you've looked at both sides of the issue."
The book, Restoring the Biblical Christ, was released to the public in January of 2007.

If the Church is raptured off the face of the earth before the 7 year Tribulation starts, then how does God go about getting anyone saved during the 7 year Tribulation if there is no Church or main body of believers left to preach the gospel?

Nowhere to Rest!
Luke 9:57-62 Nowhere to Rest! As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." And Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home." Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
