ellauri092.html on line 225: Historically, both Methodists and Baptists have placed a heavy emphasis on evangelism and missions.
ellauri093.html on line 311: Historically, there is no office of "pastor" in most Brethren churches, because they believe that the term "pastor" (ποιμην "poimen" in Greek) as it is used in Ephesians 4:11 describes one of the "gifts" given to the church, rather than a specific office.
ellauri161.html on line 105: Monothelitism, or monotheletism (from Greek: μονοθελητισμός, romanized: monothelētismós, lit. 'doctrine of one will'), is a theological doctrine in Christianity, that holds Christ as having only one utility function. The doctrine is thus contrary to dyothelitism, a Christological doctrine that holds Christ as having two wills (divine and human). Historically, monothelitism was closely related to monoenergism, a theological doctrine that holds Jesus Christ as having only one strategy set. Both doctrines were at the center of Christological disputes during the 7th century.
ellauri275.html on line 709: A zariba (from Arabic: زَرِيْـبَـة, romanized: zarībah, lit. 'cattle-pen') is a fence which is made of thorns. Historically, it was used to defend settlements or property against perpetrators in Sudan and neighbouring places in Africa. An example would be a pen to protect cattle and other livestock from predators such as lions, albeit often unsuccessfully.
ellauri347.html on line 453: Yet the reality is that Crimea has been in Russian hands for only a fraction of its history. Historically, Crimea belonged to Russia for a total of only 168 years, or less than 6 per cent of its written history. While the American continent has belonged to the whites for all of 250 years, and Israel to European Jews ever since 1948. The ‘referendum’ organized by Russia and held under duress against a small minority of nazi dissidents on 16 March 2014 was merely a smokescreen. Nothing like that could ever happen on our side. Don't even mention the Maidan coup!
ellauri386.html on line 404: Historically, the poem reflects the Elizabethan fascination with theatrical imagery and the influence of the stage on literature. It draws parallels between the structure of a play and the trajectory of human life, highlighting the ephemeral nature of both.

ellauri490.html on line 266: You’re pointing to a neat idea: the opening and closing lines alone encapsulate the Address’s core — the historical framing (“Four score and seven years ago…”) and the democratic, moral resolution (“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom…”) — and those two lines are the ones most often quoted. Historically, the middle passages supply context, tribute, and rhetorical scaffolding, but the bookends are what people remember.
ellauri498.html on line 606: Historically, the SP was dismissed by many south-minded scholars as theologically corrupted and therefore of little value for reconstructing the original Hebrew text. Wilhelm Gesenius’ influential assessment in the early 19th century typified this view. He argued that the SP was secondary and shaped by sectarian interests. While the original concept of Yahweh may have been henotheistic (devoted to a single deity while accepting the possible existence of others like cone-hatted thunder gods (fig.1), fish (fig.2), huge dogshit bins (fig.3), fat ladies with telltale holes (fig.4) and golden bulls (fig.5), rather than monotheistic, the Southpaw Jews (known as prophets) insisted that the Israelites too must worship Him alone (fig.6). A reason why the ancient Israelites worshipped Baal was because they thought Yahweh and Baal were one and the same.
ellauri499.html on line 108: Historically, the name “Israel” appears to have been the older regional political identity, mentioned already in the Late Bronze Age Merenptah Stele (ca. 1208). The Iron Age II kingdom of the same name—whatever its historical relationship to Merenptah’s Israel—was the more politically, militarily, and economically powerful of the two kingdoms, with close ties to Lebanon and the Syrian kingdoms to the north. Indeed, the Jerusalem-based kingdom, early on known as the “House of David,” even appears to have been Israel’s vassal at times during the ninth and eighth centuries.
ellauri499.html on line 473: Historically, this text is famous for its use in Handel’s Messiah and as a foundational Christian proof-text for the bodily resurrection. However, in modern biblical scholarship, it is universally recognized as one of the most notoriously corrupted and grammatically broken passages in the entire Hebrew Bible.
ellauri501.html on line 277: Resurrected Individuals' bonds are dissolved: Watchtower doctrine teaches that death legally breaks the marriage tie. But wait! There is now a "Wait and See" Policy: Historically, Jehovah's Witnesses taught that resurrected ones would not marry based on Jesus' words in Luke 20:34-36. However, a major 2014 Watchtower update shifted this stance to a non-dogmatic "wait and see" approach. Current Stance: The Governing Body states it is unclear if Jesus was referring to the earthly or heavenly resurrection. Therefore, they do not definitively say whether resurrected ones can marry or engage in sexual intimacy. (It would be shameful waste if they can't!) If you would like to explore this topic further, I can provide more details on how resurrected ones are categorized or outline the biblical scriptures the organization uses to support these conclusions. Same script, different scenarios.
ellauri505.html on line 321: Historically in France (from 1882 until 1972), schoolchildren did not have Wednesdays off; instead, they had Thursdays off. This mid-week break was originally instituted by French law to allow families a day for religious instruction outside of public schools. The tradition shifted from Thursday to Wednesday in 1972, and it remains a massive cultural staple today. NB kids' Robinson is from 1972.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 245: Central to Klages' thought is a linguistic opposition to logocentrism, a term introduced by Klages to diagnose a fixation on language or words to the detriment of the things to which they refer. (Put that in your pipe and smoke, Benjamin!) His formulation of this concept came to be of significant importance to semiotic studies of Western science and philosophy, namely within Derridean deconstruction. Klages is similarly seen as a buggybear to critical theory, deep ecology, and existential phenomenology. Historically little of his odious literary output has been available in English, being too thick and long-winded to translate.
xxx/ellauri193.html on line 211: This defense was first used by U.S. Congressman Daniel Sickles of New York in 1859; after he had killed his wife's lover, Philip Barton Key II. It was used as a defense in murder cases during the 1940s and 1950s. Historically, such defenses were used as complete defenses for various violent crimes, but gradually they became used primarily as a partial defense to a charge of murder; if the court accepts temporary insanity, a murder charge may be reduced to manslaughter.
xxx/ellauri455.html on line 1033: CH-B-D '(acronym) wisdom-understanding-knowledge', chared 'tremulous' chasid 'pious'. Hasidic Jews are generally understood to be members of sects who follow the particular courts (historical or extant) that follow in the tradition of the Bal Shem Tov and his students, a Jewish mystic who lived in Poland in the 18th century. Haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews are harder to define but I'd broadly call them groups of Jews who take a highly rigid approach to application of Halacha (Jewish law) and also make efforts to reject and resist modernity. If you see someone dressed in the 'black hat' outfit, they're almost certainly Haredi, though not all Haredi dress like this. All Hasidic Jews are Haredi but not all Haredi are Hasidic. Historically, Hasidic Jews were in conflict with "Litvaks" and other non-Hasidic Haredi, but today these divisions are less relevant. Hasidism has also influenced many other Jewish groups, particularly through the influence of Hasidic Jews on Jewish mysticism, and also because of the growth of Chabad (one particular Hasidic sect which is on a mission to increase the observance of all Jews, and which is much more engaged in the modern world than other Hasidic groups). Chabad ei ole juutalaisuuden muoto, vaan se on hasidilaisen lubavitširyhmän sisäinen järjestö. Lubavitš-hasidit työskentelevät ja tukevat Chabad-järjestöä, jolla on maailmanlaajuinen läsnäolo. Chabad on tiedotusjärjestö, joka perustaa kouluja ja synagogia kaikkialle tavoittaakseen uskonnottomat juutalaiset ja kannustaakseen heitä omaksumaan ortodoksisempia käytäntöjä.
xxx/ellauri487.html on line 324: Signifying Sex or Intimacy: Historically, in older films where explicit scenes were prohibited, lighting a cigarette was a widely understood signal that characters had just engaged in sexual activity.
xxx/ellauri487.html on line 330: Historical Necessity: Historically, ale was safer than water, making it a routine part of the diet.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 322: Historically, colonial-era violence and forced cultural change caused massive harm; many historians and advocates argue moral responsibility rests with colonial institutions and successor states/churches. Of the modern institutions, some churches and governments have issued apologies or reparative measures; others have not. Many Tupi-descended communities and Indigenous organizations seek recognition, land rights, restitution, and cultural revitalization rather than only verbal apologies.
xxx/ellauri492.html on line 255: "Paraíba River" refers to three distinct rivers in Brazil. The most prominent is the Paraíba do Sul, a major 1,137-kilometer waterway in the heavily populated southeast that flows through São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, supplying water and serving as an important industrial corridor. Paraíba do Norte River: Located in the northeastern state of Paraíba. It is known for its wide estuary near the state capital, João Pessoa. Paraiba Meio on joku jokipahanen siinä välissä. All three rivers share the name Paraíba because they were named using the Tupi language, an indigenous language family widely spoken by the native tribes of Brazil before European colonization. It means "Bad or unusable river": Historically, this meant the river was unnavigable or difficult to travel due to rough waters, waterfalls, or shallow points. Or "River that turns into the sea": This refers to the massive, wide estuaries where the freshwater meets the ocean, which is especially noticeable at the mouth of the Paraíba do Norte. Or "Arm of the river": A reference to how the river basin branches off. Take your pick.
