New Book Examines Biblical Concepts of Evil
Jacob Poelman Offers Convincing Arguments in New Nonfiction
HUDSONVILLE, Mich., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- While many people try to live honest, Christian lives, sometimes the concepts of demons and the devil are used as excuses for bad behavior when they are essentially symbolic entities. In his revelatory new book, The Origin & Demise of Satan: Or The Beginning & End of Satan, Devil, Serpent, Dragon or Evil (published by AuthorHouse), Jacob Poelman implores readers to take responsibility for anger, greed, lust and hate, rather than employing the tired excuse of "the devil made me do it."
"The ancient beliefs of Satan, Devil, Serpent and Dragon are names for evil, not for an evil spirit being," Poelman writes. "Why would God create evil spirit beings when people conceive evil? Evil was given names of Satan, Devil, Serpent, Dragon to satisfy the imaginations of people under primitive conditions. They lived with suspicion, fear, death, fed by ignorance, darkness and harsh conditions."
Hoping to clarify the Bible's true message and provide a personal testament to the power of faith in his own life, Poelman's arguments combine real-life examples with research and interpretation. He intentionally emphasizes the Bible as being a metaphor rather than something to be taken literally, writing:
From the Garden of Eden to the end of Jesus the Christ kingdom, the
righteousness and justice of God has not been recognized by the
majority of mankind. Symbolic words of the prophets have caused people
to assume evil is of evil spirit beings, thus people have avoided
responsibility for doing evil. The picture words used by various
cultures before the Bible was assembled were not always interpreted as
meant. The world is now in the beginning centuries of the kingdom in
which knowledge and liberty is allowing evil from the hearts of men to
be judged.
Thorough and thought-provoking, The Origin & Demise of Satan: Or The Beginning & End of Satan, Devil, Serpent, Dragon or Evil will appeal to any student of theology and readers looking for a broader understanding of the biblical roots of evil. Find out more in this illuminating new book.
