Download or read book Children of Perdition written by Tim Hashaw and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some oppressed groups fought with guns, some fought in court, some exercised civil disobedience; the Melungeons, however, fought by telling folktales. Whites and blacks gave the name "children of perdition" to mixed Americans during the 300 years that marriage between whites and nonwhites was outlawed. Mixed communities ranked socially below communities of freed slaves although they had lighter skin. To escape persecution caused by the stigma of having African blood, these groups invented fantastic stories of their origins, known generally as "lost colony" legends. From the founding of America, through the American Revolution, the Civil War and World War II, the author documents the histories of several related mixed communities that began in Virginia in 1619 and still exist today, and shows how they responded to racism over four centuries. Conflicts led to imprisonment, whippings, slavery, lynching, gun battles, forced sterilization, and exile--but they survived. America's view of mixing became increasingly intolerant and led to a twentieth-century scheme to forcibly exile U.S. citizens, with as little as ?one drop? of black blood, to Africa even though their ancestors arrived before the Mayflower. Evidence documents the collaboration between American race purists and leading Nazi Germans who perpetrated the Holocaust. The author examines theories of ethnic purity and ethnic superiority, and reveals how mixed people responded to "pure race" myths with origin myths of their own as Nazi sympa-thizers in state and federal government segregated mixed Americans, citing the myth of Aryan supremacy. Finally, Children of Perdition explains why many Americans view mixing as unnatural and shows how mixed people continue to confront the Jim Crow "one drop" standard today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAINT GREGORY OF NYSSA COLLECTION [7 BOOKS] — Quality Formatting and Value — Active Index, Multiple Table of Contents for all Books — Multiple Illustrations Gregory of Nyssa, also known as Gregory Nyssen, was bishop of Nyssa from 372 to 376 and from 378 until his death. He is venerated as a saint in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism. Gregory, his elder brother Basil of Caesarea, and their friend Gregory of Nazianzus are collectively known as the Cappadocian Fathers. Gregory lacked the administrative ability of his brother Basil or the contemporary influence of Gregory of Nazianzus, but he was an erudite theologian who made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity and the Nicene Creed. Gregory's philosophical writings were influenced by Origen. Since the mid-twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in interest in Gregory's works from the academic community, particularly involving universal salvation, which has resulted in challenges to many traditional interpretations of his theology. —BOOKS— EPINOIA GREGORY OF NYSSA AGAINST EUNOMIUS LETTERS ON THE MAKING OF MAN ON THE SOUL AND THE RESURRECTION ON VIRGINITY THE GREAT CATECHISM PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let me ask you a question, who is the Antichrist? Have you ever tried to figure out the answer to this question? If you're like the average person who understands the days we are living in, this question has probably crossed your mind a time or two. I have been asked this very question for a few years now by many different people along life's road. God in his mercy has saw fit to give me the answer to this question, and I am so grateful for it. Through much study and hours upon hours of research God has cleared up this debate through the publication of this book. There are so many opinions on who the Antichrist is, but most fail to line up with the Bible. Many people have even written books on this subject through the years, and they are good books, but at the books end they never really answer this question, and they still leave you guessing. My goal in writing this book was to give the public a clear and accurate answer from the Bible that once and for all settles the question of who is the Antichrist. I promise you one thing, if you read this entire book, you will find it impossible to deny who the Antichrist is. There are hundreds of Bible verses contained within this book that will expose this man of destiny. Please allow God's Holy Spirit to speak to your heart as He has spoken to mine. This book will shock you, excite you, and provide many answers concerning this topic. I pray that God will open your eyes as a result of this study, and show you that the end is near, and JESUS is getting ready to come. May God bless you, Brother Tony.
