{"product_id":"9781988189710","title":"Jesus Christ, A Necessary Idea (Christology (Studies Focused On Jesus))","description":"Can a society function optimally if everyone is allowed to set their own standards of truth and morality? Do individuals need a higher moral code than one that is subjective, conditional, and personal to achieve a fully actualized life? Are we inherently good and capable of self-determination? Are creatures of finitude capable of making the best choices and decisions for life without our Creator's input? Can we find happiness and satisfaction without God? According to data from a 2021 survey, the majority of those surveyed believed that having faith matters more than what type of faith you have; that all religions are of equal value; that the belief in karma - what you sow is what you reap - is a universal judicial principle that regulates human behavior; that there is no such thing as absolute truth; that human nature is inherently good; that success is whatever produces happiness and satisfaction; and that the sacred and secular should be kept separate. Beginning with Adam's choice for self-determination, the author shows that when a supra-human objective moral code is traded for personal and subjective standards of behavior, the result will be moral anarchy and the loss of the very freedom that self-determined behavior hopes to achieve. He claims that sin has contaminated human nature beyond human finitude and limited its ability to make optimal choices for a happy and fulfilled life. Unless the sin question is dealt with, the quest for a meaningful life is impossible. And the sin question is what makes Jesus necessary..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRichard Rupnarain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently Published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 11, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e112 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1988189713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781988189710\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328901746993,"sku":"9781988189710","price":13.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781988189710__28110.jpg?v=1732086737","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9781988189710","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
