| Publisher Description: Righteousness Apart From Salvation: In The First Century Righteousness, redemption, salvation, regeneration and being born again are all accepted today as synonymous terms. Listen to most any preaching service and you will hear those words being used interchangeably, but do they truly mean the same thing? Did the Bible writers have different meanings in mind when they penned those words? Have we correctly reasoned out the scriptures when teaching about the concepts of those words? What does the Bible teach? Ron McRay has once again taken a subject that is not questioned by believers today and delved into the scriptures to bring forth some shining gems that have been missed for hundreds and even thousands of years. By disregarding the accepted norm, Dr. Ron allows scripture to prove scripture. Most people base their beliefs and understandings of the Bible on statements made from others, namely pastors, evangelists, professors and bishops. A common mistake that is made in studying the Bible is to take a belief that has been taught since childhood that may even sound so right and good and attempt to make scripture agree with the concept. That usually involves taking passages out of context or rearranging the order of events. However, when scripture is approached with an open mind and allowed to dictate the definitions of words and the concepts that God was trying to bring to light, the teachings and commandments of men often fail to make sense. Ron McRay is an expert at using scripture to reason out a matter without having to rely on the traditionally accepted view of things. In this book, he brings forth evidence that shows that righteousness and salvation are not synonymous terms. Empty your mind of all of your past teachings and allow this book to help you explore some exciting truths from the Bible that you have never seen before. |
