This is a short article of reference scriptures utilizing a non-denominational Christian viewpoint whilst studying the Holy Scriptures. I began this study many years ago after discovering very little solace within any of the Christian denominations that exist in the world today. I hold no official qualification in theology, but have spent many years trying to find the truth from the Bible. The Bible was written for all; therefore can be understood by all. Instead of offering an opinion on the subjects listed, I have instead attempted to answer the questions I found to be the most popular utilizing the scriptures alone without any preconceived denominational viewpoint. No preconceived denominational commentary allows the scriptures to speak for themselves. I have however listed denominational viewpoints with supporting scriptures simply for study reference. Contents: - A poem to YHWH. - Who is God? - Who is Jesus Christ of Nazareth? - Can one fully understand God? - For what purpose did Jesus die? - What is the law of God? - Human nature, & where it all went wrong. - Who is Satan? - Why does God allow evil to exist upon earth? - What is the Will of the Father? - Salvation & being Born Again from Above. - Faith; a Gift from God. - How does one know if they are truly saved? - Must one go {or be a member} of a "church" building to be saved? - Which Denomination though is the correct one? - Is the Bible alone sufficient for knowledge upon salvation? - The standard of God's forgiveness. - God; He ordains all events. - Praying. - What is the Lord's Supper? - What is Baptism? - Death. - The future New Earth. - The End Times. - Judgement Day. - Apocatastasis {the reconciliation of all things}. - The True Christian life summary & common objections.

TERRORISM, TREASON AND GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME EQUAL UNPARALLELED EXCITEMENT!Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon tells the story of how terrorism, treason and global organized crime converge to place the most potent symbol of American military power under the control of a determined and ruthless group of heavily armed and extremely dangerous men who can't be stopped, yet who must be stopped.This global superthriller is based on author David Alexander's extensive and detailed research into the history of the Pentagon, combined with first-hand knowledge of the Pentagon's most closely held secrets by this veteran defense insider, all of which has been artfully woven into a masterpiece of high-concept suspense fiction.In fact, the combined impact of accuracy and authenticity blended with superb storytelling, may find some readers asking themselves if perhaps some parts of the story shouldn't have been made public, for fear that terrorists or global criminals might some day use it as the basis for a successful plan of attack.Yet the assault on the Pentagon portrayed in the book is no standard terrorist martyrdom mission either.

In the introduction, United Methodist Pastor and Author David Alexander describes The Deep End by saying, "These chapters contain my reflections on some of the more difficult questions that I believe every person of faith must wrestle with at some point in their journey. They are questions I have grappled with in my own journey. In my work as a pastor, these are questions that people ask me all the time. And while the whole notion of pursuing these questions can be a bit unsettling, I'm convinced that this pursuit is precisely what propels us further on our journey." If you have ever felt like the process of finding faith feels like you are losing faith, The Deep End is the book for you.

As interest in planning for emergencies and disasters burgeons, and educational and training programs proliferate, Principles of emergency planning and management is the first book to meet the need for a concise yet comprehensive and systematic primer on how to prepare for a disaster. Providing readers with a comprehensive, systematic, yet concise introduction to effective preparation for disasters, it provides a unified starting point encompassing the scattered and parochial literature in this nascent field of academic enquiry and practical endeavor. The book provides a general introduction to the methods, procedures, protocols and strategies of emergency planning, with emphasis on situations in industrialized countries and the local level of organization (i.e. cities, municipalities, metropolitan areas and small regions), though with ample reference to national and international levels. Rather than concentrating on the practices of any one country or state, the author focuses on general principles. Principles of emergency planning and management is designed to be a reference source and manual from which emergency managers can extract ideas, suggestions and pro-forma methodologies to help them design and implement emergency plans. A comprehensive all-hazards approach is adopted, with frequent reference to the most important individual hazards and the planning and management needs that they create. Twelve examples of actual emergency planning and management problems are analyzed in detail. Principles of emergency planning and management is written especially for the new generation of emergency planners and managers that is emerging as a result of intensified governmental interest in disaster preparedness. Many of them will occupy positions in government or other organizations that require emergency plans. The book will also be of value to students of disasters and hazards who have a practical interest in how disasters are planned for and managed, and to professional workers and trainees who will eventually have to participate in disaster plans. Principles of emergency planning and management is designed to be easily integrated with training courses in emergency preparedness.

FIRST CAME A-WAR, NEXT CAME B-WAR, THEN CAME C-WAR. WELCOME TO G-WAR ... GOOGLE WAR David Alexander has penned what may be the ultimate technothriller, a groundbreaking new vision sure to set the trend for years to come. Alexander may be the first to credibly outline how, why and when a crippling blow to cyberspace could be dealt by hybrid forces with destructive cascading impact on the nation and the world in an unprecedented act of war. In page after page of this startling, revolutionary technothriller, Alexander makes bold proclamations that while portrayed as fiction, may be more than that. "Always the consummate prose stylist, David Alexander also speaks tech talk like no other. What's more, the tech specs are undoubtedly real, including those that pertain to ostensibly stolen or covertly obtained Russian and Chinese weapons that have been reverse-engineered by [US military technology development agency] DARPA. Alexander's security clearance is probably higher than the president's, and his knowledge of military systems better than any three members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," said New York Newsday of David Alexander's blockbuster thriller, GOOGLE WAR. As with other great and era-defining novels, this one too has a message; in fact several messages, accessible on many parallel and overlapping levels of meaning. Alexander sounds a warning about the threat posed by AI, artificial intelligence, and humanity's dependence on machines to do its thinking, acting and fighting. Alexander also sounds a warning that the United States could fall like other great empires of the past have fallen; empires such as Rome's, after barbarians successfully stormed its gates. Like its real-world counterparts, the fictional terror nexus portrayed in GOOGLE WAR views nation states -- the centerpieces of world order -- as large, outmoded and vulnerable systems ripe for break-up, plunder and destruction. GOOGLE WAR shows how such a frightening set of circumstances might materialize -- and how a hybrid global threat may, at this moment, be plotting to accomplish it.

Bestselling author David Alexander has penned what critics hail as the ultimate thriller/technothriller. GOOGLE WAR is the result of groundbreaking authorship by an author whose last novel is always the next novel of the competition, and whose next novel goes far beyond what others even conceive as possible."As with all other thrillers by David Alexander, the "techno" aspect in no way overshadows the "thriller" part. Here too, the author has developed characters and situations that take Google War giant steps beyond conventional thriller fare, projecting scenarios that extrapolate the future from present situations with an uncanny sense of the probable ... it's as if David Alexander wrote this thriller as dictated by his crystal ball." -- Daily NewsVirtually everything in GOOGLE WAR, every element of plot and characterization, every riff and hook of story, is based on actual events, technologies and in some cases, personalities and the threads of its plot have been deliberately interwoven to project a forward-looking scenario at threats and solutions. One of the themes of the novel is the threat to human society posed by artificial intelligence, a so-called Terminator Effect. The threat from AI includes that described from neuromorphic technologies, which can bridge the gap between machine intelligence and the human nervous system."While many of the scenes bear an eerie resemblance to contemporary events -- a viral pandemic whose causes are murky, the hunt for and killing of a terrorist chieftain guilty of genocidal crimes, the waging of distant littoral operations in remote regions of the world, the battles in Congress, the Pentagon and White House to cope with growing insurgency - the story is so exciting precisely because it mirrors rather than apes headlines or regurgitates current events. Nor is this a "Jack Armstrong" or even "Jack Ryan" saga, relying on superficial and often laughably naive knowledge of military, political, geostrategic, technological and cultural trends that are at the very core of the exciting and well informed story that features in Google War." --Times of LondonGOOGLE WAR is continued proof of Author David Alexander's uncanny ability to create riveting fiction that reads like a headline New York Times story. "It's as if Alexander has a crystal ball and uses it to sneak a peak at world-changing events before they happen, then write it as fiction."The New York Times called GOOGLE WAR by David Alexander "...perhaps the best thriller of its type to have come along all year!" USA Today applauded author David Alexander, declaring that "Among the possible three finest thriller authors today, Alexander easily takes first place."In GOOGLE WAR, terrorism, cyberwar, biowar and robotic war combine into the rolling thunder of advanced hybrid war. This is a fifth generation form of warfare that attacks through 5G systems of the global Internet and makes all other types of warfare obsolete. When this storm gets rolling everyone is a combatant and everything can potentially become an enemy weapon. Even the human brain is not immune to the invasion of weaponized nanoparticles that can take control of the human nervous system and turn victims into humanoid robots programmed to kill.In page after page of this startling, revolutionary technothriller, Alexander makes bold proclamations that while portrayed as fiction, may be more than that.GOOGLE WAR.
