This book takes a fresh look at what Scripture has to say about the nature of God and of how we are to interact with Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScripture itself hints of an understanding by its authors of the Trinity that went beyond our present knowledge. The early Church Fathers appear to have possessed that perspective as well, an understanding that may have been lost along with their initial love of God as Christianity became accepted politically and civilization descended into the dark ages. Along with that descent Christianity hardened into rigid, politically expedient dogma which subordinated the love of God to a harsher, more controlling message. The deep schism among Christians over the status of the Blessed Mary indicates how influential this misunderstanding may be. The Catholic veneration of May, frowned upon by Protestants, may be reaching for a higher truth that could be extremely significant to all Christians, Protestant and Catholic alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscussions covered here include the nature of the Trinity, the usefulness of evil, the nature of truth, the enormous catastrophe of Noah's Flood, and a presentation of the intricate details associated with Jesus' feeding of the multitudes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Perkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194014583X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940145839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signalman Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.94d","brand":"Arthur Perkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440152883455,"sku":"9781940145839","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdc09f32-7077-4212-8310-67eaf1b9c1d3.jpg?v=1777180547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/family-of-god-arthur-perkins-9781940145839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
