Is there one God or three? How does one reconcile the "One God" of the Sh'ma with the "Three Persons" of the trinity? The doctrine of the trinity has been at the heart of much theological controversy. The routine objection is that the doctrine sacrifices monotheism to "tritheism." But this objection thrives on a misconception of divine personality in the image of disparate, individual, human selves.

Escape into this odyssey and you will find yourself reckoning with the actual account of the Apostle Paul's historic shipwreck recorded in the Bible. In September of 2000, Bob Cornuke flew to Malta. That trip marked the start of nearly two years of research and discovery in search of the lost anchors described in Acts. The true story of The Lost Shipwreck of Paul reads like a gripping fiction novel, as Cornuke takes readers along with him into the investigation. Using techniques he learned as a police officer and crime scene investigator, he probes each angle of the mystery.

This book, also called the Song of Solomon, is one of the most neglected - and controversial - books of the Bible. It is a book about lovemaking from an author who had 700 wives and 300 concubines. So explicit are these aspects that because of its erotic content, the rabbis forbade the book to be read by anyone under the age of 30.

Under close examination, the Book of Joshua seems to be a precursor to the book of Revelation: another Yehoshua, as Commander-in-Chief, will dispossess the Planet Earth of its usurpers - first sending in two witnesses, then with a series of judgments of sevens, finally defeating the kings with signs in the sun and moon while the kings of the Earth all hide in caves. What does the name "Joshua" mean?

What is the most absurd myth of our culture? Are we really the result of a series of cosmic accidents? Can we explain the origin of design information in our DNA? Darwinists cannot explain; they can only assert. Darwinists cannot account for the origin of information. In this briefing pack, Dr. Stephen Meyer joins Chuck Missler in reviewing some of the revealing insights from microbiology and the information sciences on the evidences of design in the origin of life and their implications for our destiny.

Isaiah 53 is one of the most astonishing passages in the entire Bible: It is often called, “The Holy of Holies” of the Old Testament. However, it is even more broadly impacting than most people realize; that’s why we call it, “The Fulcrum of the Entire Universe”. Its reach includes the entire creation. Clearly, its most devotional significance details our personal salvation: Indeed, the entire New Testament is summarized in its remarkable 12 verses. Yet it also includes some of the most astonishing apologetic insights in the entire Bible. Rich rewards for the diligent.

Our lord repeatedly instructed us: "Be not deceived". That is an imperative: A command, not simply a suggestion. But how? What are the tools to prevent our being deceived or misled? The context of a passage is always a primary consideration in the search for understanding of a passage of scripture. It is often cited, "A verse out of context is a pretext". And, indeed, one must always maintain an awareness of both who is doing the speaking and the audience being addressed. However, this foundational emphasis can also be a restrictive blindfold to some of a passage's deeper implications.

What happens when you die? We don't like to think about death. It's not a pleasant subject, and we avoid even discussing it seriously or giving it any diligent study. Yet our appointment with death is the most certain event in our future. We all know of personal examples when death has come suddenly to people, without warning, without preparations; car accidents, stray bullets, unforeseen strokes. When it comes our time, what do we expect death to be like? How will we enter eternity?

Recent discoveries in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, particle physics, and molecular biology have cast a new light on the traditional accounts of Genesis One. Find out why the most advanced views of the universe's origin prove to be surprisingly consistent with the insights of the Hebrew scholars eight centuries ago! Among the most elusive areas of modern science has been the nature of light - the subject of the first direct quote by God in the Bible.

Dr. Chuck Missler, an honor graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, with an international background including three decade’s experience in the board rooms of the defense industry, reviews the major Biblical references to warfare, the trends in modern weapons technology, and some of the current preparations for war among the major powers.

Beyond Newton explores the challenges to current astronomy by scientists who have discovered that the entire volume of our galaxy is filled with diffuse clouds of magnetized plasma - electrically charged ionized particles.

See God's hand at work in the life of one of his prophets. Bringing repentance to one of the largest cities of the ancient world, discover lessons from Jonah's life that we can apply to ourselves. What does Jesus mean when he speaks of "the sign of the prophet Jonah" in Matthew 12? Study this "whale of a tale", validated by Jesus, with special significance for the New Testament believer.

There seems to be evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it are only ghostly images: projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. The main architect of this astonishing idea is one of the world’s most eminent thinkers - physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein’s. In this executive summary, Chuck gives a current perspective on some of the areas that define our reality.

What does his holiness demand of us, personally? What are the hazards of failing to render the Almighty his due, while availing ourselves the riches committed to us of the precious promises in his word? How do we deal with these paramount issues facing us daily in practical challenges? Chuck Missler grapples with these wildly misunderstood tensions with down-to-earth frankness and biblically-based candor.

The third of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is supposed to bring inflation and famine on an unprecedented scale. But what is the real cause of inflation? What are the real causes of famine? Most famines are the direct results of government’s deliberate decisions. Germany sank into the most severe hyperinflationary period in recorded history after printing 1.3 trillion marks: that translates to about four trillion in today’s dollars. Ironically, that is almost exactly the same amount of money the United States government has printed since 2008.

Was the universe really created in six days? How do we explain galaxies whose light has traveled toward us for over 100 million years? Is the absolute vacuum of space really empty? Doesn't the Bible indicate that it can be torn, bent, shaken, stretched, split apart, and rolled up like a scroll? Is the velocity of light really a constant? What might an entropy profile of the seven days of the creation week look like?

Do you have a hard time trusting God? Do you know God loves you? Have you ever felt you were trying, struggling, and fighting just to get through your daily life only to find failure? Do you have a person or family member in your life that maybe isn’t the easiest person to get along with? Our human love is based on what we think, feel, and desire; what our circumstances are; and how another person responds to us. When we allow God's love to dwell in our hearts, his love is unconditional.

Dr. Chuck Missler explores these and other questions below concerning this climactic Fourth Horsemen and the unique role it plays in the end-time scenario: Why are previously conquered diseases now making a comeback? How real is the threat of biological terrorism? Why is it more dangerous than chemical terrorism?

Was there really a universal flood? Could an ark contain all of the animals? Just who were the "Nephilim?" Why did God bring such a devastating judgment upon the Earth? Why were only eight people saved? Discover the surprising answers to these questions and learn what Jesus meant when he said: "As the days of Noah were, so shall the days of the coming of the Son of Man be." Explore the amazing prophetic implications of the "Days of Noah" and the "Flood of Noah" in the Genesis account.

In this age of deceit and treachery it is vital to be protected from the consequences of the spiritual war raging around us. The Bible tells us to put on the "whole armor" of God. What is it? And when do you put it on? We are all already in enemy territory. The time to put on the whole armor is before the battle, not after it has already begun. Some of our adversaries wear three-piece suits, carry briefcases with cellular phones, speak excellent English, and network effectively. Are you equipped and prepared or are you a sitting duck?
