The Pharisees added many human-made rules and traditions to the Bible, while the Sadducees reduced Scripture to only the Law of Moses, ignoring the rest of the Old Testament. Similarly, modern Christians have created their own traditions that either override or limit biblical truth, neglecting important teachings from the New Testament. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dilutes the authority of God's word. This theological foundation of the contemporary church is neither biblically nor historically valid, leading to numerous practices that conflict with biblical principles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of today's Christianity stems from the Reformation, but as it happened over 500 years ago, a new major movement is on the horizon. This work will explore present-day revolutionary developments in comparison to the Protestant Reformation. The question is, will this revolution result in further division, as historical evidence suggests, or will it bring about greater unity among followers of Jesus? Will we witness a convergence of our faith? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter DeHaan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888090732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock Rooster Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Peter DeHaan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742867599615,"sku":"9798888090732","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-convergent-church-peter-dehaan-9798888090732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
