Download or read book Shards of Illumination II written by Ralph Ellis and published by Edfu Books Ltd. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *** eBook edition, with colour images *** Description: The Shards series are a compilation of hundreds of posts and articles I have written during 2022 and 2023. Both volumes cover a large selection of topics, from alternative biblical exegesis, to energy policy criticism, to climate deception, and to covid idiocy. Yet the disinformation and gaslighting continues unabated, and has even surpassed the peak of just two years ago. When will it end, I hear you ask? Only when we stand up to it, and call it out in public. Our new age is not the Anthropocene, it is actually the Deceptocene. Thus we see: Clerics only telling their flocks half of the gospel story. Medics refusing to investigate alternative therapeutics. Climate scientists amending and cherry-picking data. The media not investigating alternate facts and data. Academics jumping on bandwagons for grant funding. Politicians using cherry-picked data to their advantage. These many deceptions can only be the result of intentional deceit, not mere incompetence. Although these deceits are invigorated by bandwagon-riders - those who seek personal advantage through turning a blind-eye to the corruption. It is time to stand up to the Woke cry-bullies, and break through the deception. V1.9 2024 eBook colour. .

Download or read book El azote de Dios written by Josep Carles Clemente and published by Editorial Manuscritos. This book was released on 2013-07-14 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los avances conseguidos en el Concilio Vaticano II parecen ser definitivamente aparcados, sobre todo, desde la llegada al papado del cardenal Ratzinger e iniciada por el Papa Juan Pablo II. La reciente elección de un nuevo pontífice, de nacionalidad argentina, el Papa Francisco, está por ver por dónde se inclinará. En el presente texto se aborda el tema de la relación de la Iglesia y el Carlismo en la España contemporánea. El Carlismo nunca se sintió favorecido por la Iglesia, institución que ha cruzado el Rubicón desde la época de Juan XXIII, en la que se afirmó el pluralismo político y se negó el apoyo al proyecto democristiano de Joaquín Ruíz Giménez. Todo ello ha hecho crecer lo que ya se creía enterrado: el anticlericalismo. Un ejemplo de la respuesta carlista fue la advertencia de Don Javier al cardenal Tarancón, presidente entonces de la Conferencia Episcopal Española. En el texto se relatan desde los enormes privilegios que goza la Iglesia actual hasta su enfrentamiento a todo planteamiento que significara un avance o renovación ideológica de la sociedad española. Posiblemente este trabajo escandalizará a algunos y, sin embargo, a otros les parecerá que nos hemos quedado cortos. El asunto tiene su lógica, ya que lo contrario sería creer que la actual sociedad española pasa de todo. Pero está demostrado que no es así.
Download or read book Resources in the Ancient Church for Todays Worship AETH written by Prof. Catherine Gunsalus Gonzalez and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much that the church today can learn from the worship of the early church, particularly in the second century. This was a time when increasing numbers of gentiles were coming to the church with little or no previous knowledge of the Judeo-Christian tradition. How did the church train and instruct those who wished to join it? How did its worship, particularly in baptism and in communion, respond to the challenge of shaping and nurturing believers who would have to live their faith in a hostile environment? Today the church begins to face similar conditions. Growing numbers around us have little or no idea what our faith is all about. As such people seek membership in the church, and as we all seek ways to be faithful in the present environment, we have much to learn from the church in those earlier times, and particularly from its worship. La iglesia de hoy tiene mucho que aprender del culto de la iglesia antigua, particularmente de la iglesia durante el siglo segundo. En aquel tiempo cada vez eran más los gentiles se acercaban a la iglesia sin saber mucho de la tradición judeo-cristiana. ¿Cómo era que la iglesia instruía y adiestraba a quienes deseaban unirse a ella? ¿En qué modos el culto de la iglesia respondía al reto de formar y nutrir a aquellos creyentes que tendrían que vivir en un ambiente hostil? Hoy la iglesia se enfrenta a retos semejantes. Cada vez son más nuestros contemporáneos que saben bien poco acerca de la fe cristiana. Cuando tales personas piden unirse a la iglesia, y cuando nosotros mismos buscamos cómo ser fieles en el ambiente de hoy, la iglesia de aquellos tiempos tiene mucho que enseñarnos, particularmente en lo que se refiere al culto.
Download or read book Where Is God written by Jon Sobrino and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jon Sobrino's latest book takes its starting point from tragedy and violence: a devastating earthquake in El Salvador, the terrorist attacks of September 11, and the subsequent bombing of Afghanistan. The topic of suffering and death has traditionally raised questions about the nature and existence of God. But for Sobrino the primary question is addressed to ourselves: Who are we human beings? What does it mean to be human in a world of inequality, injustice, and barbarism? In examining the cruelty of history from the standpoint of the victims, Sobrino finds a challenge not just to find meaning, but to answer a call to personal conversion, structural change, compassion, and solidarity. Ultimately, Christian faith finds hope in the cross--a cross borne not only by Christ, but by Romero, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the poor: "Because of that hope, no matter how hard it is to live through catastrophes, terrorism and barbarity, we cannot rule out the possibility of resurrection."

Download or read book Jesus and his Two Fathers The Person and the Legacy written by Uri Wernik and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Jesus in real life? What inspired his ideas? What did he aim to achieve? What drew his disciples to him? How was he influenced by them? Unlike the many “quests for the historical Jesus”, as a psychologist, Wernik answers these questions from the perspectives of psychology and the social sciences. This book’s central axis is the theme of the father. It looks at the family constellation into which Jesus was born, where he was raised by a stepfather. It also investigates the relationship he develops with God, his father in heaven; and examines how he became a father figure to his disciples and followers. It is hoped that readers will also think about their own father when reading, the one usually called “dad”. Jesus and His Two Fathers sees Jesus’ love of peace and appeasement doctrine, as well as his difficulty with anger control, in the context of his upbringing and family constellation. Wernik offers a solution to the problem of the “missing years” which were unaccounted in the New Testament. He examines the internal conflicts in Jesus’ movement, and the tensions with the religious establishment, which led to his death. Jesus did not see himself as the Messiah, and Wernik shows him in fact as a great reformer of Judaism, who changed the notions of righteousness, the relation of the believers to God, and the status of the commandments. This book will be of interest to scholars, teachers and students in the humanities and social sciences, among others in the fields of religion, especially Christianity and Judaism. It is aimed at interested discerning readers of non-fiction in these areas.

Download or read book Jesus of Nazareth written by Pope Benedict XVI and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is . . . my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’” –Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope––in his first book written as Benedict XVI––seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. From Jesus of Nazareth: “. . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature–the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth. He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Amor, has estado muy enferma y tuvieron que amputarte… tus manos y pies” Su voz se quebró. Busqué alguna explicación en su cara, quería identificar alguna señal para entender por qué sentía tanto dolor por él y por mí. “….” Cyndi intentó absorber la nueva realidad de que una enfermedad infecciosa en la piel había cambiado su vida para siempre. Su más reciente recuerdo era el haber sido una gerente exitosa de negocios y reciente mamá, ahora todo eso se veía demasiado ajeno a ella. “Eso no podía ser verdad. Traté de hablar, pero ninguna palabra salía de mi boca. Por favor Dios – que esto sea un sueño. Me hundí, abrumada en un sentimiento de pesadez mientras mis ojos se tornaban más y más pesados. La oscuridad amenazaba con posesionarse de mí.” Al ella enfrentarse con los desafíos de un futuro incierto, Cyndi tenía una pregunta; ¿por qué Dios había permitido que eso le sucediera? Y aún más, ¿Podría volver a ser ella otra vez?
Download or read book San Pablo Jesucristo Y El Cristianismo written by Jesús Humberto Enríquez Rubio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Cristianismo, abarca las iglesias: Católica, Luteranas, Calvinistas, la Anglicana y otras, es una inagotable fuente de fe que aglutina a casi la mitad de la humanidad. Esta creencia y doctrina se originó en las comunidades formadas por Saulo, inventor y fundador del Cristianismo; para la Iglesia "San Pablo". Saulo padecía del gran mal o epilepsia con crisis convulsivas más frecuentes de lo deseable. Se formó a la sombra del reino herodiano, civis romano, influyente ante los romanos y ante los judíos, jefe de la policía moral judía y persecutor de Yeshua bar Jehudá o Jesús de Nazaret, hasta su muerte en la Cruz. Jamás cruzó palabra con Jeshua, no lo conoció más que de vista y por lo tanto desconocía absolutamente su palabra y enseñanzas. Por su propia iniciativa se autonombró "Apostol de los Gentiles" o Apóstol 13° y fue el inventor y fundador del cristianismo. Más de 200 años después de su muerte, las comunidades cristianas se multiplicaron y se extendieron por todo el Imperio Romano. El Emperador Constantino I el Grande, la reconoció oficialmente, la vistió con la personalidad de Mitra y el mitraísmo y le heredó el poderío imperial con que vive hasta la fecha.
