Download or read book Eradicating the Devil s Minions written by Gary K. Waite and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " As a religious sect, the Anabaptists were seen to practice unusual rituals and follow an eccentric set of beliefs. One story, for instance, purports that an Anabaptist prophet, claiming to have visited heaven, persuaded his followers to run naked through the streets of Amsterdam. Eradicating the Devil's Minions investigates these beliefs in the context of Reformation Europe, a time in which persecution, religious intolerance, and witch-hunting were rampant. Focusing primarily on the Habsburg-controlled regions of Europe, Gary K. Waite argues that the persecution of Anabaptists did not go hand-in-hand with the outbreak of witch-hunts in the mid-sixteenth century. Rather, as distrust of Anabaptists predated the first major witch panic of 156263, Waite suggests that the virulent propaganda against Anabaptist heretics helped convince governments of the existence of a diabolical threat. Although Anabaptists rejected religious magic, they were consistently demonized by Catholic and Lutheran polemicists. Eradicating the Devil's Minions is an investigation into the roots of religious intolerance in Reformation Europe, and a unique examination of mass hysteria and social extremism. "

Download or read book Virtues in African Stories written by Kwame Afadzi Insaidoo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These thrilling, whimsically and action packed anthology of adventurous stories bring to life some vital aspects of traditional African culture. These wonderful African traditional stories offer a rare glimpse into a portion of African traditional culture not often openly discussed outside many remote villages they originate from. As you peer through these pages be prepared to be thrilled and amazed as some aspects of ancient African culture are brought to life through amazing story telling. Most of the stories are used to reinforce the traditional virtues in these tribal societies. Some of the stories illustrate and exemplify what happens to youngsters when they choose to follow the century old African tradition and culture; and when another youngster deviates from the traditional African values of respecting and honoring their elders. And yes, some of the stories are told to young girls in rural areas as cautionary tales to keep them from marrying total strangers outside their respective tribes. Most of the stories and folktales here are fictionalized and many characters borrowed from various cultures to entertain the reading audience, while imparting numerous traditional virtues and morals into the youngsters. The ancient traditional African elders strongly believe in inculcating and ingraining these societal virtues into their youngsters, because like the ancient Greek philosophers, the African elders deeply concurred with Plato’s enunciation that: “Now since men are by nature acquisitive, jealous, combative and erotic, how shall we persuade them to behave themselves? By the Policeman’s omnipresent club? It is a brutal method, costly and irritating. There is a better way, and this is by lending to the moral requirements of the community.”

Download or read book Jesus Christ written by Rev. Sarah Seoh and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the reality of the hell, which is really existing. The Pastor Sarah Seoh visited hell many times and tells us very surprising things. First of all, she saw not only non-Christians but also Christians in hell. Second of all, she saw many Christians outside the Jerusalem City in heaven where it is different from hell. She explains why Christians are in hell with the verses in the Bible. The Bible tells us that Christians go to hell if they sin repeatedly without repentance to death even though they believed in Jesus. Jesus said if your hand and foot makes you sin, cut off your hand; otherwise, you will be thrown into hell (Mark 9:43-49). She finds everything in the Bible that Jesus told us exactly happens in hell and warns us to live holy life according to the words of God in the Bible. She says that the reason why she wrote the book of hell is for even one soul not to go to hell with the heart of God.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -Encounter with the apostle Peter in Heaven- Then Jesus said to Peter, "Peter, open your heart and show Sarah." I didn't understand what Jesus meant by that. But I found myself asking Peter, "Peter, when you were imprisoned and chained between two prison guards, how were you able to sleep not knowing when they will execute you?" Peter said, "The thought of dying tomorrow really brought me joy." As he spoke these words, I was able to clearly understand what he was saying. Peter had followed Jesus for three years, has witnessed the death and resurrection and even the ascension of Jesus! It was clear to me that Peter was not afraid of death because then he would be with Jesus forever in Heaven. Although it was a simple truth, it shocked me because I had never regarded death as a joyful thing in the past. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's-Romans 14:8
