a person who expresses a contentious opinion in order to provoke debate or test the strength of the opposing arguments.
This book is great for the faithful to use to prepare for and study common arguments and scriptures used by skeptics and unbelievers.
The purpose of this book isn't to slander or denounce the Bible, but it is intended to provoke thought and make the reader consider what it entails to really read, understand, and choose to accept the Bible. This book is meant to draw attention to the very worst aspects of popular Bible stories in order to encourage healthy skepticism and critical thinking when approaching the scriptures.
This book is great for skeptics to use to debate, personally provoke thought, and to have as novelty.
I also have a companion book on Inkshares called "The Worst Bible Stories Never Told" that compiles some of the absolute worst stories you will find in the Bible, along with many scriptures and questions that can be concerning, alarming, gross, and downright confusing.
The NET, KJV, NIV, and YLT translations, as well as consideration of context and meaning of original Hebrew and Greek words, were used in research.

Faith💙
Having faith in something that literally isn't there but is is tiring. Also, the world hates you and you have to fight against the one thing you can't escape, sin. Choosing to fight this battle puts a target on your mind and sometimes body, and it can make or break you. ... Seems useless, right? Maybe, but it isn't, because either way it goes, we can't change it. It's scary, new, fun, and boring all at the same time. It's... not something humans would regularly do. But I'm taking the challenge and attempting to make it to a place called Heaven. Just read it, I'm not fighting you, I'm fighting FOR you. *I'm BEGGING A STRANGER!!!* As you know, I am a NEW Christian.👌👍👏❤😳😜 (and yes, best decision of my life, you should try it) HOWEVER, I am also human, which means Sin😈 Sweet, EVIL, Sin. (Chile, anyways, so!) In this story, you'll read about how I deal with Sin and do a terrible job at fighting what comes with loving the King of Kings at this stage of life.... PSA: I'm a working progress, and my POV of life is just WAY OFF! Another PSA from months after the book was finished: Please disregard the unorganized book! I was at a fiery point and my mind was wilding.Complete

lucifer's monólogue
lucifer's monologue, focuses on a story long before the genesis and the creation of humanity, according to Christian ideology. but this story is nothing like you have told us so far, as this is the version of lucifer, the villain and the great tyrant of the Bible, which, comes to tell his version of events, from the beginning, even as he was banished to inferno. Here lucifer tells us how it all started, why a lot of our questions, or rather because a lot of the holes found in the biblical version of the dispute between him and the supreme power he had at the time, and we It gives another perspective on the big picture. Who is the villain and who is the hero? Or is there really a villain or a hero ?, are these questions, we will take all this intrigue plot, but ultimately it is the reader's opinion which will decide the answer. and eventhough the story is narrated by lucifer, iconic characters, like, astaroth, satan, Mannon, leviathan, among others ... form a fundamental part in the development and the outcome of it. the hehcos are located mainly in the infamous city of Zion, but yet unknown land inferno and mother also take a lot of influence in history. many stories are seeking boast a good protagonist does not matter if it's good or bad, but this is clearly not that kind of story, empathy you can possibly have for any of the characters is just personal opinion, because none of them looking to impress no one, not even Lucifer himself, this being his own story, just come to have a frivolous version of a trascedendental done. This is a completely fictional story, where we find a lot of references and names that may seem familiar to us are just more characters and situations that give life and substance to it. Are you ready to know the other side of the coin ?.Complete

A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy and Thoughts of Christianity
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can 'evolution' and 'God' co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. The first section deals with the logic of a divine being, the second deals with specific issues in Christianity, and the third section contains some of the personal psalms and reflections on things that a Christian might face and struggle. Each section contains a collection of articles, some academic, some reflective, and some argumentative. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of many religions and their sects on the 'Truth'. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to question the intelligence of more than 50 % of the world population that believe in some sort of divine being(s). The book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.Complete
