Download or read book The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi Dowling written by Ruleaux Van Zyl and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original author of this book during his theological training on the main religions of the world came upon a very old system called Akashic Records, where he found it was actually the same as the "remembrances of God" as called in the Bible, which is described as rolls that were written by the angels on everything that happened in everyone's life according to which a person after his death must answer to God on all the sins that he has committed on earth. At that time it is obvious that there was no knowledge of electronics; this was the only way of describing the operation. The Akashic Records are records of any action, thought, and any other activities that take place during a prerson's life, recorded by the very sensitive etheric waves that are everywhere present. The writer Levy Dowling found that after many years of study on this subject and forty years of meditation, he was able to pick up these recordings according to the pitch of vibrations, the tone, etc., and could follow that of a person without a mistake (like a modem can send out a signal to open a car's door, etc.). By intense praying, he received authority from the Holy Spirit to follow the life of Jesus the Christ. The whole life of Jesus the Christ is recorded from even before his birth until after his Crucifixion in full, filling in all the gaps, errors, and obviating the blatant mistake done to church dogmas over the years. Even the gap of Jesus's supposed disappearance during his youth is covered. The Holy Spirit informed Levi that this book will be read by everyone on earth.

Examine what the Scriptures say about being filled with the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives believers. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES will help you to answer questions such as: • Is the Holy Spirit the same Spirit who was poured out at Pentecost? • Is the Bible still true in our time, or are we so blinded by materialism and intellectualism that we are no longer open to the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit? • Is the same power of the Holy Spirit available in the modern times in which we live? • Is the Holy Spirit of Pentecost still the same Spirit who can and wants to work in our hearts and lives in our day and age? • Can we expect the Holy Spirit, who worked through simple and uneducated “fishermen”, to perform powerful miracles and give miraculous signs in society today? Learn how the Holy Spirit can operate in a new way in your life, bringing spiritual growth and revival to you as well as to the greater Body of Christ. At the end of each chapter are questions for personal Bible study or group discussion.

Download or read book Essays on the Real Church written by Dirk J. Smit and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit of the Reformation is often expressed in the well-known slogan that Reformed churches are always being reformed according to God’s Word, ecclesia reformata semper reformanda secundum verbum Dei. Over the last century, the spirit of this slogan motivated someone like Dietrich Bonhoeffer to argue that the visible form and life of the church should reflect the truth and message of the church. Already in his doctoral dissertation called Sanctorum Communio, the communion of the saints, the young Bonhoeffer combined theological claims and traditions with social theory and analysis, in this spirit, in an innovative way, to study the nature and integrity and witness of the church. At the time, this was a radical claim, with major consequences and challenges for Protestant churches. Their life – which meant their order, structure, actions, statements, convictions, public presence and role – was to be measured by their gospel – which meant their message, proclamation, convictions, claims. They could no longer proclaim one truth yet live a different life. It was this spirit which led to the well-known Theological Declaration of Barmen in 1934 and to the formation of the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany. Many called this a moment of truth, a status confessionis. It was this same spirit which later inspired the struggle in South Africa for the integrity and faithfulness of the church and for the credibility of its message, proclamation and witness. The contributions in this volume – 52 papers, essays, sermons, studies – were all produced in this spirit. Most of them have not been published before. They were all occasional pieces, written over several decades, in different contexts and for different purposes and audiences, yet they all breathe this self-critical spirit of the Reformation, considering whether the real church – the concrete, every day, actual, living church that people know and experience and perhaps belong to – truly strives to embody the gospel itself, the message which it claims and proclaims. They all inquire, under different circumstances and in diverse ways, about different social forms of the real church – from worship to congregation, from denomination to ecumenical church, from individual believers to movements and organisations – whether and how they embody the truth of the church, or not. Together, these contributions tell a story – the story of this spirit, in South African circles, over several decades, but also in the ecumenical church in our globalizing world. They offer one small glimpse into different concrete moments in the story of this spirit in the life of this tradition and community of faith. Hopefully, some of these accounts may resonate with others who also shared the same spirit – and still share it today, in new and ongoing ways.

Download or read book Die verhaal van die Griekse Taal oor 35 Eeue heen written by Gerrit van Wyk Kruger and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vir die eerste keer in Afrikaans (die jongste Westerse taal wat in die afgelope eeu reeds sy eie unieke letterkunde geskep het) word die verhaal van Grieks vertel, die oudste Westerse taal waarin feitlik al die bekende literere genres hul weergalose vorm en gestalte gekry het. Hoewel hierdie publikasie basies linguisties van aard is, poog die skrywer om die dramatis personae self ook aan die woord te stel in plaas van om net in taalkundige jargon te verval. Om 'n werk soos hierdie saam te stel, vereis kundigheid in verskeie vaksubgebiede wat begin by oer-Grieks in sy sillabiese lynskriffases A en B. Die Grieks van die Goue Era van Perikles se Athene (circa 500 v.C.) is die bekendste. Min mense besef egter dat Homeros bedrieglik pre-klassiek is. Die klassieke Griek kon sy twee groot eposse (die Ilias en die Odusseia) nie sonder meer vlot lees nie. Dit was hulle Chaucer en Shakespeare. Die Griekse NT is sekerlik die belangrikste dokument wat ooit in Grieks opgestel is, hoewel dit stilisties nie naastenby die beste is nie. Vir sy bespreking van veral die semantiek van Moderne Grieks gebruik die skrywer hier vir die eerste keer dr. Philip Nicolaides se uitvoerige Grieks-Afrikaanse Woordeboek van 843 foliogrootte bladsye. Dis teen die middel van die vorige eeu opgestel, maar is nooit gepubliseer nie. Gerrit Kruger besit vandag die enigste (oorspronklike) kopie daarvan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johan Smit het ‘n groot bydra gelewer tot die inhoud van hierdie boek. Ek het Johan Smit ontmoet na ‘n skrywe van my in BRIEWE BEELD sowat 3 jaar gelede. Met my eerste besoek aan hom in Edenvale het hy vir my sy skrywes gewys aan tydskrifte en persone. Persone het ingesluit : Dr. Adrio Konig, Dr. Isak Burger, Dr. Bernard Ficker, Dr. Deon Jonker, Prof. J.S. Malan, Prof. A.D. (Andries ) Du Toit en nog vele geleerdes. Nadat ek ‘n paar van sy briewe gelees het en met hom gesels het, was dit soos ‘n soete geur wat ek gekry het, met die wete dat hierdie man ontsaglike kennis het van : Die Bybel en al die variasies van Christenskap, die geskiedenis van die Christelike geloof, asook baie ander gelowe en Godsdienste. Hy het ‘n goeie kennis van die reg en van getuienis lewer in die hof, wat hy baie behendig gebruik as hy getuienisse in die Bybel aanhaal en ontleed. Daar is ook net geen einde aan hierdie man se algemene kennis nie. Om sy briewe te lees dwing net soveel respek en bewondering af as om ‘n meester-kunstenaar te aanskou terwyl hy sy kunswerk skilder of beeldhouwerk doen.

This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of 2017, the “backlash cycle” was in full swing in church denominations in South Africa as far as embracing sexual diversity was concerned. In 2015 a momentous decision by the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) embracing inclusivity in allowing LGBTIQA+ ministers to not be celibate and its ministers to officiate same-sex marriages, surprised friend and foe. But this was reversed a year later in an Extraordinary General Synod of the church. The disappointing outcome of the De Lange v Methodist Church of Southern Africa case had just been handed down by the Constitutional Court, and the Anglican Church’s stalling on fully affirming sexual diversity, continued.

Download or read book Die reis gaan inwaarts written by Cas Wepener and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "e;By Schoeman word individuasie nie 'n selfsugtige wegkeer van die realiteit nie - daarvoor is sy werk te betrokke by die situasies van die dag. Maar dit help om afstand te skep. Die onthegting van die omringende is nie 'n selfsugtige inkeer na binne nie, nie 'n verlammende onttrekking nie, maar 'n inwaartse reis wat stimuleer tot kreatiewe ondersoek van die onbewuste. Die romans neem die leser op daardie stille reis. Hulle bied ervarings van 'n ontmoeting met die stilte, met die self. Hierdie werk van Wepener slaag daarin om iets van hierdie proses en inwaartse reis te verduidelik, sonder om voorskriftelik of moraliserend te raak. Juis daarom gee Wepener uiteindelik op 'n praktiese manier leiding aan diegene wat met die dood gekonfronteer word."e; Vanuit die Voorwoord deur Willie Burger, Mei 2017

This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “At the inaugural General Assembly of the World Reformed Fellowship (WRF) in 2000 . . . I proposed that the . . . WRF could serve the church by writing a new confession of faith for the twenty-first century . . . The first reason was that the members of the WRF were drawn from many nations and from many denominations and were using a whole range of confessional statements . . . At the same time, there was general agreement that we were all ‘Reformed’ in theology . . . The second reason was the need for a confessional statement to address the issues the church is facing today . . . The third reason was that all of our confessions were written in Western Europe, whereas the leadership in the global church has now moved to the southern hemisphere . . . [S]cholars from Africa, Asia, Australasia and South America joined with theologians from Europe and North America to engage in [the] task . . . [The Statement] was presented to the WRF General Assembly . . . in April 2010. An invitation was then issued to all members of the WRF to suggest any changes or additions to the text . . . [The Statement presented here was approved by the WRF Bord of Directors in 2011. It] . . . is not intended to replace [other] . . . confessional statements . . . [but] may be of use to individuals and churches as they reflect on the nature of Reformed Theology and its application to the theological and moral issues which confront the church in the twenty-first century.”

Download or read book Een God vir YISR L written by J A Jansen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vir duisende jare al is daar ‘n wanbegrip oor wie Jesus is. Die Jode is geleer om te glo dat hulle slegs een God moet aanbid, en toe Jesus gebore is kon hulle nie aanvaar dat Jesus God Homself is nie, en gekom het om sy kinders te red. Die Bybel leer ons dat die Beeld van God uitgegaan het van die Vader, en vlees aangeneem het toe Maria se baba deur die Heilige Gees verwek is. Jesus is gebore as die Seun van die Mens. Nadat hy opgevaar het na die Koninkryk van die Hemel in sy verheerlikte liggaam, sit hy nou aan die regterhand van God, as Seun van God met sy kinders se erfenis. Jesus is God en die Heilige Gees is God, daarom kan ons sê God is Een in verheerlikte liggaam, siel en gees. Die dag van die huwelik is die huwelik van God se seuns met hulle verheerlikte liggame. Op hierdie dag gee Jesus sy Seunskap op en gee hy die koningsheerskappy weer aan God die Vader terug, sodat hy kan terugkeer na die heerlikheid wat hy gehad het nog voordat die wêreld bestaan het.
