Review of Four Rights The Intersection
2 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Four Rights The Intersection" by Fritz Michel.]
Four Rights The Intersection is a book that falls under the Christian nonfiction genre. It was written by Fritz Michel.
This book talks about Christianity in general. It touches on several aspects of Christianity. It talks about angel Michael and his duties as an archangel, the creation and the timeline surrounding it, the issue of race as pertaining to the Bible, languages and the reasons for the existence of different languages, and the history and circumstances surrounding Jesus' life and death.
The author begins this book by stating that he is a "prophet angel", and his existence has been long predicted in the Bible. He also states that he is not the only one of his kind. He wrote that millions of other people exist who are prophet angels like him and are sent to accomplish the same mission. The author goes on to explain the things I listed in the above paragraph, citing biblical verses as proof of what he claims.
I like the fact that he wrote out some of those passages in the Bible for the readers' convenience. He also tried to explain what he believed had transpired in some Bible passages. I appreciate the author's perspective on some subject matter. I like how he described archangel Micheal, his roles, and their similarities to that of Christ.
This book was not very impressive in my opinion. Although the author did some things right, I believe there was a lot he did not do right also. Most of the things he claims are not rooted in facts. Although I would have just taken this as simply religious beliefs; however, due to the author's style of writing, he made it seem like what he wrote was actually factious.
He also tried to discredit scientific theories several times, using his claims from the Bible. Doing this means he treats what he wrote as fact and the readers should also treat them as fact. An example is when he stated that, "When it comes to outsourcing, the best knowledge of creation comes down to understanding two great information sources: biblical scriptures and several physical creations around us." When he compares the biblical scriptures to the physical world, he implies that these scriptures are not just to be believed by faith but are to be used to observe the world and compared against the observation of things around us. However, the things he mentioned in the scripture do not always match what has been observed in the observable world.
I observed that the author chooses to state the bible accordingly when it serves his purpose and changes the words and their meaning a little when it does not fit his narrative. An example of this can be observed when he narrates the story of the Tower of Babel which was recorded in the Bible. He wrote that the people decided to build a tower dedicated to worshipping the heavens- the stars and demons. However, the Bible states otherwise. The Bible states that the people came together to build a tower that reaches up to the heavens. This seems like a minor change but it completely changes the original message being passed across. The style of writing was also confusing sometimes.
I did not enjoy my time reading this book because the writer often tried to pass things based on faith like they were based on facts unsuccessfully. He tried to discredit some scientific theories with nothing but verses of the Bible. I believe if science will be discredited, it should be with facts. I understand that this book is a Christian book; therefore, it is not unusual to reference the Bible as proof; however, the author made it look like he was stating facts and this is not so. The Bible should be related to by faith and not brought forward as fact except it can be proven. I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to readers who do not mind taking unproven Bible passages as facts.
