Authentic Christianity: A Fresh Grip On Life

http://www.pbc.org/dp/stedman/authenxnty/

Extractions: a woman to be proud of. CONTENTS Preface (PDF) 1 The Great Imitation (PDF) ... (PDF) PREFACE This is the book I have wanted to write above all others. It deals with the very heart of the gospel, the most important truth contained in the pages of Scripture. That truth is the new covenant of which the Lord Jesus spoke when he passed the cup at the Last Supper and said, "This is the blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. When we understand the full implications of that new covenant, we discover the most liberating secret in the Word of God! It is the secret, as Paul put it, of "Christ in you, the hope of glory." All of God's plans for present victory over evil, and all His plans for future glory rest squarely on the amazing fact of our fundamental union with Christ! I pray that God will use this book to lead you into a deeper, richer experience of this central truth of the Christian life, and that He will enable you to fully discover the glorious liberty of being a child of God! I pray that this book will help you to move beyond religion, beyond doctrines, beyond rules, beyond rituals, and into that life-changing experience of being intimately connected with Christ at the very core of your beingfor that is authentic Christianity!

Genesis and Geology Unearthed Genius In Transit Rev Michael Roberts Paul Marston Introduction Rev Michael Roberts is an ordained clergyman in the Church of England who holds a degree in geology. In a detailed analysis he exposes in this article various common myths about supposedly "literal" views of Genesis in the time of Darwin, doing so in the context of the development of geology as a science. The article is reprinted with minor corrections from The Churchman Oct 1998 vol 112 No3 pp.225-55. Geology and Genesis Unearthed This editorial has been delayed to take in an event on June 8th which no one now alive had previously seen, and which no one alive will see again from this island. I was privileged to see it from the exact place where it was first observed on November 24th 1639 by the 22 year old genius Jeremiah Horrocks. man who saw his astronomical work as an exploration of Gods work. He went up to Cambridge in 1632 in days when there was no professor of Astronomy there, and no one to teach him any of the modern stuff about it. The modern stuff was the work of Johannes Kepler (who had died in 1630 after publishing the correct elliptical orbits for the planets in 1609 and 1619), and Galileo was about to get into a spot of bother with the Inquisition.

http://www.godonthe.net/cme/links/masons.htm

Extractions: Occult Religion Freemasonry goes by many names, including the Scottish Rite, Masonry, Blue Lodge, Eastern Star (for women), and Shriners. Historically, Masonry has had a strong unifying effect on the American black community. Many people who consider themselves Christians, both black and white, are Masons. Most people, even many Masons incorrectly believe that Masonry is merely a fraternal order, like the Lions Club, Elks Club, etc. Masonry expressly denies it is a religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Freemasonry is a non-Christian occult religion that teaches a different way to salvation and considers Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and all spiritual leaders to be only messengers of "The Grand Architect of the Universe". The Grand Architect is not just another term for Jehovah. Freemasonry teaches that there are two basic Gods: Adonay, the god of the Christians , a god of evil and Lucifer , a separate god of good Freemasonry considers the religious scriptures of all religions to be equally valid. Masonry has at least 33 degrees (the lowest is level 1). At each level, a person is given more details, more Masonic 'truth'. Most Masons never get beyond the first few levels.

Top/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Buddhism/Buddhism_and_Other_Religions/christianity/JesusWas-a-Buddhist_Theories
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/buddhism/jesus.htm

Extractions: Is Jesus a Buddhist ? Message sent by Dr. Tin Htut The following issues may support the view that Jesus is a Buddhist: 1. Jesus had expounded his doctrine of patience, non-violence and compassion which was seemingly an opposite view to that of the God according to the Old Testament. Jesus preached and asked his followers to turn the other cheek when somebody slapped you, whist an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth in the Mosaic Law clearly denoted retaliation and vengeance which were regarded as justice. 2. In the Revelation of St John, a Christian scripture written down in Greek in the Eastern Mediterranean (v. 1) it refers to a book closely sealed with seven seals . St John weeps bitterly (v. 4) because he sees no one worthy to open the book and to break its seals. This can be done by the Lamb alone, slaughtered in sacrifice (v. 9). There is a similar book in Mahayana Buddhism, The Perfection of Wisdom sealed with seven seals, written in Sanskrit in South India. The book has 8000 lines and in chapters 30 and 31 it describes in detail how Everweeping Bodhisattva slaughtered himself in sacrifice, and how he thereby became worthy of the Perfection of Wisdom. This parallel is remarkable not only for the similarities of the religious logic, but also for the fact that both have seven seals. (1) A parable from the Gospels Jesus life-history between the ages of 13-30 is missing 5. An account of

Essay on the Kakure Kirishitan or Hidden Christians who worshipped without scriptures, even after the ban on christianity was lifted in 1873.
http://www.uwosh.edu/home_pages/faculty_staff/earns/miyazaki.html

Extractions: Spanish Jesuit Francisco Xavier brought Christianity to the shores of Kagoshima in the year 1549. His arrival came near the end of a century-long period of national strife and an important turning point in Japanese history, and in the midst of this great social chaos, the Japanese people were ripe for his spiritual message. "The best people yet discovered," said Xavier of the Japanese. "It seems to me that among pagan nations there will not be another to surpass the Japanese,...a people who prize honour above all else..." Christianity prospered in this country for about a half a century, just as Xavier predicted. But after the establishment of the Tokugawa Bakufu in 1603 and subsequent national unification, it suffered almost complete undoing. The introduction of Christianity marked the first important meeting of Japan with the West, and the religious communication that followed signified much more than a mere brush with the exotic. Indeed, it was a head-on collision between Western culturethe core of which is Christianityand Japanese culture with its ancient hodgepodge of Shintoism, Buddhism and folk religion. It signified, in other words, an encounter between the monotheistic world view inherent in Western culture and the polytheistic world view of Japan. After wiping out all resistance from its political enemiesthe retainers of Toyotomi Hideyoshiand establishing unshakable control over all of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate seized the profits from Portuguese trade and embarked upon a policy of strict suppression of Christianity, which it viewed as a threat to the bakuhan taisei (shogunate-domain system). In 1614, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu issued a national ban on Christianity and ordered the exile of missionaries and prominent Japanese Christians to Macao and Manila. Many of the priests went into hiding after the ban, and a large number of their Japanese followers refused to renounce their faith. But in subsequent months and years they were captured one after another and forced either to recant or to die as martyrs. An estimated 40,000 people were executed during the long period between the martyrdom of the 26 Saints of Japan in Nagasaki in 1597 and the lifting of the ban on Christianity in 1873.

The Bible What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? Actually, very little. Most significantly, Jesus said nothing at all. Considering the relatively small amount of attention the Bible pays to the subject, we must ask ourselves why this is such a volatile issue. Other subjects about which the scriptures say a great deal (e.g. judgment, pride, hypocrisy) receive much less passionate attention. Before looking at specific passages, it is important to note that everyone understands the scriptures based on, and through, the light of what they have been taught. The Bible was not written in a cultural void, and many of its instructions and laws are simply classified as less relevant today (e.g. prohibition against eating pork). Nowhere does the Bible actually address the idea of persons being lesbian or gay. The statements are, without exception, directed to certain homosexual acts. Early writers had no understanding of homosexuality as a psychosexual orientation. That truth is a relatively recent discovery. The biblical authors were referring to homosexual acts performed by persons they assumed were heterosexuals.

U.S. Protestant Groups Christianity is a monotheistic religion founded by the followers of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus, a Jew, was born in about 7 B.C. and assumed his public life, probably after his 30th year, in Galilee. The New Testament Gospels describe Jesus as a teacher and miracle worker. He proclaimed the kingdom of God, a future reality that is at the same time already present. Jesus set the requirements for participation in the kingdom of God as a change of heart and repentance for sins, love of God and neighbor, and concern for justice. Circa A.D.
THE GNOSTIC JESUS - GNOSTICISM FINDS ITS WAY
Explanation of the Gnostic path of christianity revolving around direct experience and looking within one's self.
http://www.gnostic-jesus.com

Extractions: Click here to explore the book The Mystic Christ Jesus Christ was a Gnostic. Gnosticism is the path of directly experiencing the Divine as the path to salvation. Mysticism, Gnosticism and the Jewish Kabbalah are all very similar. Their path to God is to look for God within ourselves. If we take the view that God is within everything, that nature and the universe is the very embodiment of God, then our own inner Self is the most accessible point for experiencing an all-pervading Supreme Reality. This Gnostic view is powerfully presented by Jesus in Luke 17:20-21: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! , lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you . Luke 17:20-21, KJV The word within as it appears in the King James Bible has been translated in some modern bibles as among. These interpreters believe Jesus intended to say he himself was among them. However, this does not tally with preceding statements in the passage. Jesus says the kingdom of God cannot be observed. Therefore, Jesus could not have been talking about himself. He was observable. Jesus says the kingdom of God is not a place. It is neither here nor there. Thus Jesus could not have been referring to himself. We must take all physical descriptions of the kingdom, such as streets paved with gold and pearly gates, as metaphors because these things can be observed.

Now the Christian right is trying to hijack religion. This time it shouldn't be allowed to happen without a fight. In 1969 I returned to the United States from Bonn with my family after working for three years on issues directly affecting the security of American interests. It was the height of the Vietnam War. What did I find when we reached home? The flag had been taken over by self-styled patriots, noncombatant domestic supporters of the war and vocal opponents of the civil rights movement. Nixonites and George Wallace supporters were sporting flags in their lapels and stickers on their cars. Old Glory had been appropriated as the exclusive property of those who believed in "law 'n' order," a hard-line foreign policy and the primacy of conservatism in American politics. Today's Op-Eds
