ellauri092.html on line 182: The Third Great Awakening from 1858 to 1908 saw enormous growth in Methodist membership, and a proliferation of institutions such as colleges (e.g., Morningside College). Methodists were often involved in the Missionary Awakening and the Social Gospel Movement. The awakening in so many cities in 1858 started the movement, but in the North it was interrupted by the Civil War. In the South, on the other hand, the Civil War stimulated revivals, especially in Lee´s army.
ellauri093.html on line 193: Terminology which sometimes confuses Brethren and non-Brethren alike is the distinction between the Open assemblies, usually called "Chapels", and the Closed assemblies (non-Exclusive), called "Gospel Halls." Contrary to common misconceptions, those traditionally known as the "Closed Brethren" are not a part of the Exclusive Brethren, but are rather a very conservative subset of the Open Brethren. The Gospel Halls regard reception to the assembly as a serious matter. One is not received to the Lord's Supper but to the fellowship of the assembly. This is important because the Lord's Supper is for believers, not unbelievers.
ellauri093.html on line 195: Some Chapels, on the other hand, will allow practically anyone to participate who walks in and says that he is a Christian, based on the newcomer's profession of faith. Such assemblies are said to have an "open table" approach to strangers. Gospel Hall Brethren, on the other hand, generally believe that only those formally recognised as part of that or an equivalent assembly should break bread. Most Closed and some Open Brethren hold that association with evil defiles and that sharing the Communion meal can bring that association.
ellauri093.html on line 197: Their support text is from 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be deceived: evil communications corrupt good table manners." Among other distinctions, the Gospel Halls would generally not use musical instruments in their services, whereas many Chapels use them and may have singing groups, choirs, "worship teams" of musicians, etc. The Gospel Halls tend to be more conservative in dress; women do not wear trousers in meetings and always have their heads covered, while in most Chapels women may wear whatever they wish, including nothing, though modesty in dress serves as a guideline, and many may continue the Orde Wingate tradition of wearing a shower cap for head covering if nothing else. Open Brethren churches are all independent, self-governing, local congregations with no central headquarters, although there are a number of seminaries, missions agencies, and publications that are widely supported by Brethren churches and which help to maintain a high degree of communication among them.
ellauri108.html on line 106: During his life, Selassie described himself as a devout Christian. In a 1967 interview, Selassie was asked about the Rasta belief that he was the Second Coming of Jesus, to which he responded: "I have heard of this idea. I also met certain Rastafarians. I told them clearly that I am a man, that I am mortal, and that I will be replaced by the oncoming generation, and that they should never make a mistake in assuming or pretending that a human being is emanated from a deity." His grandson Ermias Sahle Selassie has said that there is "no doubt that Haile Selassie did not encourage the Rastafari movement". Critics of Rastafari have used this as evidence that Rasta theological beliefs are incorrect, although some Rastas take Selassie's denials as evidence that he was indeed the incarnation of God, based on their reading of the Gospel of Luke.
ellauri108.html on line 235: Sub-divisions of Rastafari are often referred to as "houses" or "mansions", in keeping with a passage from the Gospel of John (14:2): as translated in the King James Bible, Jesus states "In my father's house are many mansions". The three most prominent branches are the House of Nyabinghi, the Bobo Ashanti, and the Twelve Tribes of Israel, although other important groups include the Church of Haile Selassie I, Inc., and the Fulfilled Rastafari. By fragmenting into different houses without any single leader, Rastafari became more resilient amid opposition from Jamaica's government during the early decades of the movement.

On the website we have what we call "green sheets"--one is a Survey of the Life and Gospel of Jesus Christ and the other is a Survey of the Early Church (the book of Acts). They give passages of scriptures so that a person going through the green sheets get a lay of land of the selected topics. We also went through the Old Testament together, starting with the book of Genesis. Eventually, I realized that the green sheets were just the Bible so we just go through the scriptures chapter by chapter without making green sheets, just writing down the book we are in, the chapters of the book, and putting the date next to the chapters that we have completed for that day. Nifty, what?

ellauri119.html on line 300: The New Testament details a close relationship between the Holy Spirit and Jesus during his earthly life and ministry.The Gospels of Matthew and Luke and the Nicene Creed state that Jesus was "conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary". The Holy Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove or seagull during his baptism, and in his Farewell Discourse after the Last Supper Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to his disciples after his departure.
ellauri119.html on line 304: The Holy Spirit is referred to as "the Lord, the Giver of Life" in the Nicene Creed, which summarises several key beliefs held by many Christian denominations. The participation of the Holy Spirit in the tripartite nature of conversion is apparent in Jesus' final post-resurrection instruction to his disciples at the end of the Gospel of Matthew (28:19), "Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
ellauri119.html on line 308: The term Holy Spirit appears at least 90 times in the New Testament. The sacredness of the Holy Spirit to Christians is affirmed in all three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 12:30–32, Mark 3:28–30 and Luke 12:8–10) which proclaim that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.
ellauri119.html on line 432: There are several Greek words for "love" that are regularly referred to in Christian circles. Agape: In the New Testament, agapē is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is parental love, seen as creating goodness in the world; it is the way God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that Christians aspire to have for one another. Philia: Also used in the New Testament, phileo is a human response to something that is found to be delightful. Also known as "brotherly love" or "homophilia." Two other words for love in the Greek language, eros (sexual love) and storge (child-to-parent love), were never used in the New Testament! Now that's a lacuna! Christians believe that to Love God with all your heart, mind, and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself are the two most important things in life (the greatest commandment of the Jewish Torah, according to Jesus; cf. Gospel of Mark chapter 12, verses 28–34). Saint Augustine summarized this when he wrote "Love God, and do as thou wilt." Right on Gus! Way to go!

ellauri156.html on line 812: That is precisely what the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ does for us. We were dead in our trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1-3). We were blinded to the immensity of our sins (2 Corinthians 4:4). The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, His perfect life, His innocent and sacrificial death, His literal and physical resurrection are all historical events. But the gospel is also a story, a true story. When we read the New Testament Gospels, we read a story that is even more dramatic, more amazing, more disturbing than the story Nathan told David. When we see the way unbelieving men treated our Lord, we should be shocked, horrified, and angered. We should cry out, “They deserve to die!” And that they do. But the Gospel is not written only to show us their sins -- those who actually heard Jesus and cried, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him” -- it is written so that the Spirit of God can cry out in our hearts, “Thou art the man! Yo mon!” When we see the way men treated Jesus, we see the way we would treat him, if he were here. We see how we treat him today. With laughter and ridicule. And that, my friend, reveals the immensity of our sin, and the immensity of our need for repentance and forgiveness. Words, words, words. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
ellauri156.html on line 814: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is “Good News.” (No, it is Dog's breakfast. You must be thinking of euangelion.) The “Good News” is the death of our Lord, which reveals the immensity of our sin, is the immense workload of God by which he can and will forgive us of our sin. (Recall here Dosto's and many other mystics' meme that everybody should feel guilty of everything. They really enjoy it! It is some variant of algolagnia.) By His innocent and sacrificial death, Jesus died in our place, paid the penalty for our sins. Come to think of it, the logic of this story IS on all fours with God's judgment on David's oversight: Not nice but don't worry, I'll cash your debt on some innocent scapegoat.
ellauri156.html on line 816: He bore ours sins on the cross! And by trusting in His death, burial, and resurrection, we die to sin (or sin to die, pick your choice, like David from Nathan's deck of bottom cards) and are raised to novelty products of eternal life, in Christ. The Gospel must first bring us to a recognition of the magnitude of our sin, and of our guilt, and then it takes us to the magnitude of God's grace in Jesus Christ, by which our sins can be forgiven. Have you come to see how great your sins are before a holy God? Then I urge you to experience how great a salvation is yours, brought about by this same God, through the death, burial, and resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. What a Relief! Plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is.
ellauri184.html on line 346: The town is cited in all four gospels (Matthew 4:13, 8:5, 11:23, 17:24, Mark 1:21, 2:1, 9:33, Luke 4:23, 31,7:1, 10:15, John 2:12, 4:46, 6:17, 24, 59) where it was reported to have been the hometown of the tax collector Matthew (aka Leevi, eri kuin evankelista), and located not far from Bethsaida, the hometown of the apostles Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. Some readers take Mark 2:1 as evidence that Jesus may have owned a home in the town, but it is more likely that he stayed in the house of one of his followers here. He certainly spent time teaching and healing there. One Sabbath, Jesus taught in the synagogue in Capernaum and healed a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit (Luke 4:31–36 and Mark 1:21–28). This story is notable as the only one that is common to the gospels of Mark and Luke, but not contained in the Gospel of Matthew (see Synoptic Gospels for more literary comparison between the gospels). Afterward, Jesus healed Simon Peter´s mother-in-law of a fever (Luke 4:38–39). According to Luke 7:1–10 and Matthew 8:5, this is also the place where Jesus healed the boyfriend of a Roman centurion who had asked for his help. Capernaum is also the location of the healing of the paralytic lowered by friends through the roof to reach Jesus, as reported in Mark 2:1–12 and Luke 5:17–26.
ellauri184.html on line 350: According to the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus selected this town as the center of his public ministry in Galilee after he left the small mountainous hamlet of Nazareth (Matthew 4:12–17). He also formally cursed Capernaum, along with Bethsaida and Chorazin, saying "you will be thrown down to the pit!" (Matthew 11:23) because of their lack of faith in him as the Messiah.

One of the more obscure sections concerns three Marys who were always with Jesus.

ellauri190.html on line 267: In the 15th-16th centuries, most of what is now Ukraine belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth (“The Republic”), but the life of the people depended to a very large extent on their local feudal lords, the Knyazi (“Princes”). Most of these lords were related to the house of Gedimin, spoke a language close to modern Belarusian and Ukrainian, and were Eastern Orthodox Christians. Yet, beginning from ~1569 (the year of the so-called Lublin Unia), these princes also swore allegiance to the Polish king, and were his vassals and courtiers. They corresponded in Latin, Polish, or their native “Old Ukrainian / Old Belarusian” Slavic language. Among them, perhaps the mightiest ruler was Prince Konstayntyn Vasyl Ostrozky. He was nicknamed “the un-crowned King of Rus,” and was, actually, offered the Polish crown several times, but refused because the kings of Poland were, traditionally, Catholics – and Prince Ostrozky wanted to remain Orthodox. He is famous for printing the first Gospels in his native language, and founding the Academy of Ostroh, a university that functions to this day.

This prayer Dostoevsky loved so much that it became part of the prayers which he read to children at bed time. Also from his early years Dostoevsky listened to Bible stories. Remembering those years, Fyodor Mikhailovich wrote in 1873, “In our family we knew the Gospel almost from earliest childhood.”

ellauri408.html on line 329: The most glaring archeological error in the Bible makes Jesus a false prophet. According to Mark 13:1-2, Jesus prophesied that not one stone of the Jerusalem temple buildings would be left standing on another stone. This false prophecy was surely added by a charlatan writing in Greece or Rome sometime after 70 AD, who had never been to Jerusalem. While the Romans largely destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, making this not a prophecy but chicanery, the Romans did not completely level the temple. To this day the Wailing Wall still stands. And some of the temple’s great foundation stones are still standing firmly on top of each other. I have seen them in an episode of the Naked Archaeologist and you can see them in the image above. The largest stones are Herodian, laid by Herod the Great, who according to the Gospel of Matthew attempted to murder Jesus after his birth in the infamous Massacre of the Innocents. But as we will see that account was also false, as is so much of the Bible.

xxx/ellauri086.html on line 75: About Lindsfarne Gospels Bede explains how each of the four Evangelists was represented by their own symbol: Matthew was the man, representing the human Christ; Mark was the lion, symbolising the triumphant Christ of the Resurrection; Luke was the calf, symbolising the sacrificial victim of the Crucifixion; and John was the eagle, symbolising Christ's second coming. A collective term for the symbols of the four Evangelists is the Tetramorphs. Each of the four Evangelists is accompanied by their respective symbol in their miniature portraits in the manuscript. In these portraits, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are shown writing, while John looks straight ahead at the reader holding his scroll. The Evangelists also represent the dual nature of Christ. Mark and John are shown as young men, symbolising the divine nature of Christ, and Matthew and Luke appear older and bearded, representing Christ's mortal nature.

xxx/ellauri091.html on line 819: John Raleigh Mott is an American like Emily Greene Balch, with whom he shares this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. He was born in Sullivan County in the state of New York on May 25, 1865. It was assumed that he would follow in the footsteps of his father, a timber merchant engaged in transporting timber on the tributaries of the Delaware River. But he was an avid reader, and the town’s Methodist minister persuaded his parents to allow him to continue his studies. For a long time the boy did not know what he wanted to be. His father hoped that he would return to the timber trade, while he himself vacillated between the church, law, and politics. But during his years of study he was stirred by the Gospel of Christ to mankind, and when the Y.M.C.A. asked him to become a traveling secretary among the students of American and Canadian universities he interpreted the offer as a call from the Lord. He answered the call. It did not take him back to the Delaware River. It sent him out into the wide world and it has brought him here today.
xxx/ellauri130.html on line 174: Marcion of Sinope (/ˈmɑːrʃən, -ʃiən, -siən/; Greek: Μαρκίων [note 1] Σινώπης; c. 85 – c. 160) was an early Christian theologian, an evangelist, and an important figure in early Christianity.Marcion preached that the benevolent God of the Gospel who sent Jesus Christ into the world as the savior was the true Supreme Being, different from and opposed to the malevolent demiurge or creator god, identified with the Hebrew God of the Old Testament. He considered himself a follower of Paul the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ, a doctrine called Marcionism. Marcion published the earliest extant fixed collection of New Testament books, making him a vital figure in the development of Christian history.[citation needed] Early Church Fathers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian denounced Marcion as a heretic, and he was excommunicated by the church of Rome around 144. He published the first known canon of Christian sacred scriptures, which contained ten Pauline epistles (the Pastoral epistles weren't included) and a shorter version of the Gospel of Luke (the Gospel of Marcion). This made him a catalyst in the process of the development of the New Testament canon by forcing the proto-orthodox Church to respond to his canon. Varmaan Marcion oli sitten yhtä persepää kuin Puovoli.

xxx/ellauri149.html on line 381: Jesus Christ Superstar is a Rock Opera and (subverted?) Passion Play by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Originally released as a Concept Album in 1970 (when Lloyd Webber and Rice were still in their very early twenties, no less!), it made its way to the Broadway and London stage in 1971, and was adapted into a film directed by Norman Jewison in 1973. An updated version was recorded sometime around 2000 by Webber's Really Useful Group for PBS. A filmed version of the UK arena tour starring Tom Munchin as Judas was released on DVD and digital in 2012, and a live adaptation starring John Lennon as Jesus, Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as Herod that aired on NBC in 2018. The show lives on in stage productions and tours (and even non-theatrical tribute albums from fans who were more attracted to it as an album than a show) to this day. Inspired by… The Four Gospels of The Bible (specifically the arrival in Jerusalem and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus), it chronicles the last seven days of Jesus' life, focusing mainly on the characters of Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. It's regarded among Andrew Lloyd Webber's best works, which is not saying much. It's a pseudo-sequel to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, though this took a bit more liberty with the source material and is considerably less playful.

Pian kirkon avaamisen jälkeen Falwell aloitti viikoittaisen puolen tunnin radio-ohjelman ja vain kuuden kuukauden kuluttua Old-Time Gospel Hour lähetettiin ensi kertaa televisiosta. Falwellin seurakunta kasvoi tasaisesti ja sen ympärille perustettiin pian alkoholistiasuntola, kristillinen kesäakatemia ja leirikeskus. Vuonna 1971 Old-Time Gospel Hour pääsi kansalliseen levitykseen. Falwell määritteli itsensä alun perin fundamentalistiksi ja perusti jopa julkaisun tämän nimityksen alla.

But, the Gospels and nowhere else in Scripture presents Jesus ever molding clay into sparrows (or other birds, passerine or otherwise) and breathing life into them, causing them to fly away. Where is this material found? Discussing the origin of many pseudo-biblical themes, accounts, and motifs within the Quran, Yehuda D. Nevo (admittedly a Jew, but we got a common enemy here) noted that:
xxx/ellauri186.html on line 746: Christianity, and especially Judeo-Christianity. Thus the Quran alludes repeatedly to the content of the Pentateuch and the Gospels. But while it is true that more Quranic material is classifiable as “Judaic” or “Christian” than as specifically “Judeo-Christian,” nonetheless the influence of the later is central; for whereas the “Judaic” and “Christian” material consists of references to “known facts,” or allusions to, and occasional retellings of, stories and legends, the Judeo-Christian material shaped the theology of the Quran.
xxx/ellauri186.html on line 748: The source material for the account of Jesus creating birds out of clay is likely derived from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a late second or third century pseudepigraphal gospel that describes Jesus’ early life before he started his ministry as an adult.

One possible objection would be to deny that the Quran uses the Infancy Gospel of Thomas as a historically reliable source.

The historicity of Infancy Gospel would be a moot point.
xxx/ellauri186.html on line 799: Another possible objection would be to argue that the Infancy Gospel of Thomas is in fact historically reliable and that early Christians erred when they left it out of their canon.
xxx/ellauri186.html on line 805: b) Furthermore, this objection ignores the history behind the Infancy Gospels themselves and the intentions behind their creation. The Christians penning the gospels knew they were creating stories that were not meant to be read as truth or contain actual, correct historiography. How do we know? Because of 1)-5). And above all, because 6) OUR God said so (to the patriarchs (p.c.), and they should know).

If Muslim apologists choose to argue that the book contains correct theology and history concerning the nature and work Jesus Christ, they will have to deal with the ramifications of a book that teaches Jesus was a nasty boy in more ways than the NT documents otherwise elucidate. Thus, the book would then contradict the teachings of the Quran itself!
xxx/ellauri199.html on line 236: Christ-followers’ ultimate goals are to spread the Gospel and show others the path to eternal life, to live righteously, and overall treat people the way Jesus would treat them by loving them and being patient, kind, compassionate, pure, and wise. With that being said, Christians are supposed to do this all the time, no matter the place. This includes high school.
xxx/ellauri201.html on line 110: Epistola oli lainlukua pahan Paavalin saavista syntisäkeille. Ikäänkuin kovanyrkkinen pieni biiklestukkainen poliisi. Gospel tarjoili sitten hyvän toivon sanaa ja taputusta pikku päälaille. Sanankuulon Mr. Gently. Keppiä ja porkkanaa. Paha ja hyvä poliisi. Helsingin papin mielestä koleraepidemian syynä oli syntinen uppiniskaisuus, niskurointi esivallalle. Kaikille paikka ja kaikki tietää paikkansa, se saarnasi kuin ku-klux-klan-eversti talousliberaalimmalle Foggille. Mutta Fogg valizi puolensa, viele vehen lännemmäxi vaikka oltiin keskilännessä.
xxx/ellauri261.html on line 637: Christian atheism is a form of Christianity that rejects the theistic claims of Christianity, but draws its beliefs and practices from Jesus´ life and teachings as recorded in the New Testament Gospels and other sources. Christian atheism takes many forms:
xxx/ellauri293.html on line 102: Beth Allison Barr käsittelee Junia-kiistaa kirjassaan The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth (2021). Hän lainaa Beverly Roberts Gaventaa ja päättelee " Juniasta tuli Junias, koska nykykristityt olettivat, että vain mies voi olla apostoli". Siihen hommaan tarvitaan vähintään prostatatulehdus.

xxx/ellauri404.html on line 393: Paizi ei helvetti, vaan näin: Kansainvälinen Q-projekti kokosi 2000-luvun vaihteessa useita kansainvälisesti tunnettuja tutkijoita rekonstruoimaan Q-lähteen sisältöä. Mukana olivat esimerkiksi John Kloppenborg, James Robinson ja Risto Uro. Vuonna 2001 julkaistu Q-rekonstruktio kokoaa niin sanotun Sanontojen evankeliumin (engl. Quotes Gospel) tai Q-evankeliumin muotoon, jossa kadonneen evankeliumin kokonaisuus on hahmotettavissa. Rekonstruktio on englanniksi luettavissa esimerkiksi John Kloppenborgin kotisivustolla täällä. (Jumala ei kenties enää vastaa tästä Toronton nummerosta. Jos ei, se on voi, hän tietää kyllä parhaiten. Onnexi saatana pitää varmuuskopioita mm. täällä. Lisäinfoa myös täällä.) Outoa kyllä Kari Syreeniä ei mainita Q-lähteenä. Kenties sixi että se on menettänyt uskonsa. Uskottavuus meni samalla.
xxx/ellauri404.html on line 419: The Sayings Gospel Q is notable for lacking an account of Jesus' death. It is surprising that one early Christian document is apparently so indifferent to an event which plays a profound role in others (e.g., Romans, Mark). Maybe it wasn't so notable after all. And of course there are only rather short quotes from the cross (Sorry but these guys haven't got a clue, John this is your mom, mom this is your son John, Welcome to dine with me upstairs after these messages, lama sabakhthani, I hereby give up my ghost, anything else?) Seneca was Christ's contemporary and Epictetus 20 years younger. These kind of snappy quotes were much in vogue then.
xxx/ellauri404.html on line 479: Alter wrote: The Gospels do not record any historical words attributed to Jesus that demonstrated that he conceived of his death as a propitiatory sacrifice to save mankind from its sins! Why then did Jesus not once, during his ministry, either in private to his disciples, as recorded in the Gospels or as part of his public teaching, ever announce indisputably and unequivocally a divinely ordained scheme for the redemption of mankind? If the salvation of the world was at stake, as Christians proclaim, would it not have been reasonable, in plain and unequivocal terms, to have declared this plan to those whose benefit it was supposedly intended? (p. 77)
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 1061: I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see. … It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the character of God and to know...that he was once a man like us....
