Publisher's Synopsis
Acts 12:21-24 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. The words of the devil in Eden ...ye shall be as gods..., has continued to plague and entice man since it was dangled before him. In fact, man has never lost the appetite to be God. Many individuals crave with all their hearts to be treated as Divine. Most other persons do all they can to accord their religious leaders divinity. The problem is almost as old as creation. Acts 14:11-13 11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Today, many individuals in the history of Christianity have been elevated to the status of divinity either directly or indirectly. That man is God to man has increasingly moved from a figurative expression to a practical experience. Most persons who have one thing or the other to do with Christianity have surreptitiously been accorded infallibility either by directly acknowledgment or tacitly. This book is an expose on what has come to become a perennial problem, emanating from the Bible days to today, yet for most persons it is obtrusive.
