CD: How to Be a Thinking Christian - New!
$4.95
D. Bercot. The greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matt. 22:37). Many Bible-believing Christians love God with all their hearts, but not with all their minds. In fact, they don’t even know what critical thinking is. As a result of their shallow thinking, they wrongfully condemn other Christians, and they often bring reproach on the name of Christ because of their wrong predictions and foolish statements. In this CD, Bercot focuses on three areas:

1. Developing critical thinking skills 2. Learning how to read a document—particularly the Bible 3. How to properly do research on biblical and spiritual topics

CD Set: Why Don't We Use the Same Bible as the Apostles?
$9.90

When you look up Old Testament verses quoted by New Testament writers, you have probably noticed that they don’t read the same in your Old Testament as they do in your New Testament. Have you ever wondered why? The reason is that, most of the time, Jesus and His apostles quoted from the Septuagint—not from the Masoretic Text. Yet, today, almost all English Bibles use the Masoretic text for the Old Testament, not the Septuagint.

So, in this series of messages, Bercot asks the logical question: Why don’t we use the same Bible as Jesus and the apostles? In the course of this message, you will learn about:

● The numerous New Testament passages that match the Septuagint, but not the Masoretic Text.
● The many Old Testament passages that are contradictory in the Masoretic Text—but not in the Septuagint
● How the New Testament writers used the vocabulary and spiritual concepts of the Septuagint
● Why the early church insisted on using the Septuagint as their Old Testament
● When and how the Roman Catholic Church dropped the Septuagint and adopted the Masoretic Text in its place—a tradition later followed by the Reformers

CD: The Early Christian Writings and the Textus Receptus
$4.95

Many Christians today believe the Critical Text is the most accurate New Testament text. Others say that the Textus Receptus (the text used for the King James Version) is the providentially preserved pure Word of God. What light do the early Christian writings shed on these issues? Plenty!

Here is a candid look at what the early Christian writings reveal about New Testament text. The testimony of their writings is quite clear—yet the answers provided by this testimony is not as simplistic as many Christian think. Among the topics Bercot discusses in this message are:

● The Greek text used by the early Christians
● How Origen affected the New Testament text ● The history of the Textus Receptus

CD Set: How to Harmonize Paul and James
~~$14.90~~ $9.95 On Sale!

David Bercot. James wrote, ““Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? ...You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.” But Paul said, “If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. ...But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”

Harmonizing these seemingly contradictory passages is no mere theological exercise. No, the answer to this apparent contradiction lies at the very heart of Christianity.

This 3-CD set consists of two audio CDs and one text CD-ROM which can be read on any computer.

CD Set: Does God View Our Righteousness as Filthy Rags?
~~$9.90~~ $6.95 On Sale!

Practically all Christians who have had any contact with Evangelical Protestantism know by memory Isa. 64:6: “We are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.” But is this really how God views the righteous acts of His people, or of mankind in general? Or, is this simply another case of a theologian (Martin Luther) taking a verse out of context?

After all, neither Jesus nor any of the New Testament writers ever quoted Isa. 64:6. Bercot presents a Scriptural and historical analysis of this passage that will undoubtedly give you a fuller understanding of this verse.

The second CD in this set is a computer disc (CD-ROM), playable in any Windows computer, that sets forth the extensive list of Scripture texts that shed light on this whole issue.

CD: The Kingdom of God
$4.95

D. Bercot. In this CD, Bercot explains what the kingdom of God is, why it was the theme of Jesus’ and the apostles’ preaching, and what difference it makes in the life of a Christian when we understand the Kingdom of God.

Bercot also discusses some of the laws of the Kingdom. As he explains, man was designed and structured for the Kingdom of God. When we obey the laws of the Kingdom, we are obeying what is best for ourselves. We were made to belong to the Kingdom. At the same time, the Kingdom is the most radical proposal ever made to mankind.

CD: What Happened After Acts
$4.95

D. Bercot. The Book of Acts ends with Paul’s first imprisonment in Rome. But what happened after that? What eventually became of Paul? What about Peter, John and the rest of the apostles? How far did Christianity spread in the 1st and 2nd centuries? Who led the church after the apostles died? What challenges did the new church face?

Happily, we don’t have to guess about such matters. The historical record of the 2nd century sheds considerable light on what happened during the 1st century after the Book of Acts was written. This message covers the period from A.D. 30 to the middle of the 2nd century.

CD: What Happened Between the Testaments
$4.95

In this CD, Bercot discusses the history of Judea from the time of Nehemiah up through the birth of Christ and the reign of Herod. He goes into detail about the Jewish revolt under the Greek ruler, Antiochus IV, and the eventual establishment of an independent Judea. Among other things, he discusses the origin of the Septuagint, the history of the Pharisees and Sadducees prior to Christ, and how the Romans came to rule over the Jews.

There were distinguishing characteristics of Christianity when it was still young. However, many of which earmarks have been lost over the centuries. But it is not too late to recover them!

CD: Evolution: Relic from the Age of Myths
$4.95

D. Bercot. Most people think that the theory that life on earth got here by accident is a modern view—a product of the age of science. However, as Bercot demonstrates in his message, the teaching that life on earth sprung up by accident is something that some of the ancient Greek philosophers taught centuries before the birth of Christ. It is not a theory that was born out of the age of science—but rather a relic from the age of myth. It came from the age when many people thought that humans sprang from dragon’s teeth!

This is an audio CD that we particularly recommend to home schoolers.
