What if Jesus Had Never Been Born?

C1-4

 236 pp. Despite the attacks against the faith, one powerful truth is undeniable: if Christ had never been born, nearly every facet of human life would be much more miserable than it is today. Arranged topically and presenting compelling, little-known historical facts, What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? clearly demonstrates that an enormous array of benefits to humankind--from economics to art to government, science to civil liberties, morality to health, and beyond--would never have occurred had Jesus Christ not lived.

 

"Behold, I make all things new!"

"... many of mankind’s noblest and kindest deeds, and greatest accomplishments, find their motivation in love for Jesus Christ; ... to prove that truth is the purpose of this book.” 
     (excerpt from author)

 
Give a gift that will make an eternal impact 

"Jesus Christ, the greatest man who ever lived, changed virtually every aspect of human life – and most people don’t know it. 
Everything that Jesus Christ touched, He utterly transformed.
..
Despite its humble origins, the Church has made more changes on earth for the good than any other movement or force in history. To get an overview of some of the positive contributions Christianity has made through the centuries, here are a few highlights:
  • The elevation of the common man.
  • High regard for human life.
  • Benevolence and charity; the good Samaritan ethic.
  • Higher standards of justice.
  • Hospitals, which essentially began during the Middle Ages.
  • Civil liberties.
  • The elevation of women.
  • The abolition of slavery, both in antiquity and in the more modern times.
  • Modern science.
  • Universities, which also began during the Middle Ages. In addition, most of the world’s greatest universities were started by Christians for Christian purposes.
  • Literacy and education for the masses
  • Capitalism and free enterprise.
  • Representative government, particularly as it has been seen in the American experiment.
  • The separation of political powers.
  • The civilizing of many barbarian cultures.
  • The codifying and setting to writing of many of the world’s languages.
  • Greater development of art and music. The inspiration for the greatest works of art.
  • The countless changed lives transformed from liabilities into assets to society because of the gospel.
  • The eternal salvation of countless souls.
The last one mentioned, the salvation of souls, is the primary goal of the spread of Christianity. All the other benefits listed are basically just by-products of what Christianity has often brought when applied to daily living. The rest of this book is devoted to demonstrating how all of these benefits to mankind have their origins in the Christian faith…” (excerpt from the first chapter)

How did the Chinese know that Shang-ti accepted only blood and burnt sacrifices? How is it possible that the Chinese have a custom of offering sacrifices to Shang-ti so similar to the Jews' sacrifices to Jehovah? How did the Chinese know that they were NOT to make an idol of Shang-ti? 

The historical account found in the Holy Bible agrees amazingly well with the account found in Chinese history! These practices began with Noah's sacrifice to the God of Heaven upon exiting the ark after the Flood.
The Supreme God Shang-ti 上帝 has always left himself a witness from the very beginning to the present day so that we might come to know him personally. He has never ignored nor forsaken the Chinese people. He is the sovereign God who has created all things, and has made the Chinese the most populous people group in the world. God must love the Chinese very much! Throughout our history, we drank from the river of God's abundant blessing. The famous Chinese proverb 飲水思源 literally means "when you drink water, remember the source". 

It is time to acknowledge the true source of all our blessings in the eternal God Shang-ti. Will you return to your roots now in the Eternal God, Shang-ti? Shang-ti sent His one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for your sins and mine.
