The Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) outlines God's role and instructions regarding education. It establishes that God is the source of absolute truth, the first educator of mankind, and continues to teach through revelations. Education was centered on learning about God and was primarily done at home by parents, using symbols and reminders to instruct children in God's laws and their relationship with Him. The family played a key role in passing down teachings from generation to generation.
This document provides summaries of key books and concepts in Hebrew literature and the Bible. It summarizes that the Bible was designed to show God's faithfulness to his promises and records the history of Israel's declines and deliverances. It traces the transition of Israel's leadership from judges to kings and from a theocracy to a monarchy. Several books show how disobedience and failure of kings to rule righteously led to the disruption and collapse of the kingdoms. The prophets called the people to repent of their sins and warned of coming judgment while also offering hope for future restoration. The books reveal a God who is in control of history.
God reveals himself to humanity in various ways so that we may know him and his plan for our salvation. Divine revelation includes events like creation and history as recorded in scripture, the teachings of prophets, and ultimately through Jesus Christ. The church continues this revelation and transmission of God's word through both scripture and oral tradition. Tradition is the handing down of teachings from the apostles and their successors, the bishops, to preserve and transmit God's message throughout time in continuity with scripture, which records the word of God in writing. Both tradition and scripture are to be accepted as equally part of God's revelation.

The Torah and the Christian – Is God’s Law Still in Effect Today? antso
This document discusses the relationship between Christians and the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). It argues that most Christian churches teach that the Torah is abolished, but Jesus said to keep the commandments. The document defines the Torah as God's teachings and instructions to Israel, not just laws. It claims the Jews altered the Torah by adding oral traditions, and that Christians fell away from the Torah. It warns of an end-times apostasy and argues people must return to obeying God's Torah.
The document discusses sources of claims that Jesus was a mythological figure rather than a historical person. It traces these claims back to 19th century German theologian Bruno Bauer, who argued Jesus was a fusion of Greek and Roman theology rather than based in Judaism. Others like Albert Kalthoff and James Frazer built on this, claiming Jesus never existed. Modern propagators cited include the movie Zeitgeist and authors Dan Brown and Freke/Gandy. The document questions the credibility and scholarly acceptance of these mythological claims, noting a lack of evidence and acceptance from reputable historians and scholars.
Parsis and their quest with preservation of their identityNatasha Gupta
This document discusses the cultural identity and assimilation of Parsis in India. The Parsis are descendants of Zoroastrians who migrated to India from Iran in the 8th century to escape religious persecution. While in India, the Parsis integrated into local culture by adopting the Gujarati language and other customs, but also preserved key aspects of their Zoroastrian religious identity and practices, such as maintaining separate fire temples. Over time, the Parsis evolved a distinct ethnic identity as a minority group in India, facing new challenges to their cultural survival in modern times due to declining population.
Christ Greater Than The Angels by John MacArthurBerean Guide
This document discusses angels according to the Bible and Jewish tradition. It begins by describing what angels are based on biblical passages - spiritual beings that can appear human but lack flesh and bones. It then discusses Jewish beliefs about angels that had developed, such as their roles and organization in heaven. The document aims to show from scripture that Jesus is greater than angels, using passages that call Him God's Son, worthy of worship, divine in nature, eternal, and exalted. It seeks to persuade Jews that Christ is the mediator of a new and better covenant than that brought by angels in the Old Testament.
The document discusses the origins and development of the Old Testament canon. It explains that God revealed scripture to Israel over 1000 years, which scribes then copied for centuries. The Old Testament canon was formed as the books' divine authority was recognized. The process included Moses receiving commandments on Mount Sinai, prophets speaking God's word, and writings being deposited at the temple. By 400 BC, prophecy had ceased in Israel. The New Testament affirmed the inspiration of the Old Testament, which Jesus and apostles viewed as authoritative.
Got Questions: The Bible, The Word of GodRyan Schatz
The document discusses how the Bible was compiled and whether it is the word of God. It provides several clues:
1) The unity of the Bible despite being written by many authors over centuries points to divine inspiration.
2) Ancient prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming Messiah, including many specific details about his life, death and resurrection, were fulfilled by Jesus.
3) Jesus' authority is evidenced by his teachings, miracles, resurrection, and the founding of the Christian church and faith in him as the Son of God. The Bible's authors wrote under divine inspiration as eyewitnesses and followers of Jesus.
Dispensational theology, developed by John Nelson Darby in the 19th century, holds that history is divided into different periods called dispensations, in which God relates to people differently under different biblical covenants. It believes that the Church is distinct from Israel, which God's promises to still apply to. The theory of a "parenthesis" suggests that the Church age was not foreseen by OT prophets and is an interruption in God's original plan for Israel before resuming after the tribulation and millennium. Adherents include many Baptists and those from Dallas Theological Seminary.
This document discusses the Christian doctrine of the Trinity - that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in one being. It provides arguments for the existence of God and the divinity of Jesus from historical, cosmological, teleological, moral, and existential perspectives. It examines the biblical basis for the Trinity in both the Old and New Testaments. It addresses common objections to the Trinity and concludes that an eternal, loving God must necessarily be a Trinity to fulfill the nature of love between persons.

This document discusses concepts of mana, ho'omana, akua, and other aspects of Native Hawaiian spirituality. It defines mana as supernatural or divine power and ho'omana as empowering or authorizing. It describes akua as gods or goddesses and lists some major akua like Kāne, Kū, Lono and Kanaloa. It also discusses 'aumākua as family gods that could take animal forms, kinolau as the forms gods took on earth, and different realms for spirits like ao kuewa, ao 'aumākua and ao o Milu.
This document discusses Paul's views on Adam and Eve as presented by Peter Enns and Denis Lemoureux versus responses from D.A. Carson and C. John Collins. Lemoureux argues that Adam and Eve never existed historically and that Paul used the story of Genesis metaphorically. Enns argues that while Paul seems to view Adam as the first human, his perspective is not based on a literal reading of Genesis. Carson and Collins rebut that anti-concordism assumes Genesis has no historical basis and that Paul's argument relies on historical facts. The document examines how Paul's views differ from the Old Testament presentation of Adam and analyzes Paul as an ancient interpreter working within his cultural context.

Aspects of Indigenous Spirituality related to the Spirit world, illustrated from the Philippines. A video including these ideas may be found at: https://vimeo.com/vivgrigg/indigenousspirituality
1. Jesus returns to Nazareth where he was brought up, following his time in the desert. As was his custom, he attends the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stands up to read from scripture.
2. The passage describes Jesus now being led fully by the Holy Spirit after emerging from the desert, rather than being at his own disposal. Though in a familiar place among those he knew, he was empowered to proclaim the scripture in a new way under the Spirit's guidance.
3. Jesus faced the challenge of proclaiming a higher calling in a familiar community, but having fully submitted to the Spirit's leading, he was able to see Nazareth and its people in

Specific traditions such as Daoism, Christianity, Hinduism are examined in terms of concepts like the Trinity, avatars, and how humans interact with sacred power.
There is great confusion in the world about Angels. This confusion is based on most people’s ignorance of the existence of two great and fundamentally different categories of Invisible Forces:
1) The HyperCosmic Spiritual Forces
2) The Cosmic Energy Forces.
“On the Gods and the Cosmos” by Sallustius (Saturninius Secundus Salutius (fl. 355–367), Translation by Gilbert Murray:
VI. On Gods Cosmic and Hypercosmic.
Of the Gods some are of the world, cosmic, and some above the world, hypercosmic. By the ‘cosmic’ I mean those who make the cosmos. Of the ‘hypercosmic’ Gods some create essence, some mind, and some soul. Thus, they have three orders; all of which may be found in treatises on the subject.
Of the cosmic Gods some make the world be, others animate it, others harmonize it, consisting, as it does, of different elements; the fourth class keep it when harmonized.
The HyperCosmic Forces, are mostly unknown to people because they are NOT mentioned in the religions of the world .
The main concern of the HyperCosmic Spiritual Forces, is focused onto the Spiritual Salvation of humans from the world of energy and form.
The Cosmic Forces, are those who are worshipped by followers of ALL religions. They are the builders of the visible and the invisible (energy) world. The creators of the Matrix. According to Hinduism, they are the gods of Samsara.
The Cosmic Forces are mainly responsible for the operation of the visible, as well as the invisible energy-world and the laws of Karma. They are the controllers of fate (Gr: Heimarmene).
[The Corpus Hermeticum Book 1: “Poimandres to Hermes Trismegistus” translated by Brian P. Copenhaver]
[Chapter 1, par. 9]:
“The mind who is god (HyperCosmic Wholeness), being androgyne and existing as life and light, by speaking gave birth to a second mind, a craftsman (Cosmic Force), who, as god of fire and spirit, crafted seven governors; they encompass the sensible world in circles, and their government is called fate (Heimarmene).”

This document discusses the biblical basis for the prophetic gift, as believed by Seventh-day Adventists. It notes that Adventism was founded in part by Ellen G. White, who SDA teaching considers an authentic prophet. It examines passages from the Old and New Testaments regarding spiritual gifts, particularly the gift of prophecy. It addresses criticisms of the SDA position, arguing that biblical prophecy foretells a restoration of genuine prophecy in the end times, and that the canonization of Scripture does not preclude further prophetic utterances from the Holy Spirit.
The Sumerians originated in modern-day Iraq and developed one of the world's first advanced civilizations through irrigation and technological innovations like the wheel and writing system. They believed the universe was controlled by anthropomorphic gods who lived in heaven and were organized in a pantheon hierarchy led by gods like Anu, Enlil, Enki, and Ninhursag. The Sumerians saw themselves as created by the gods to serve them through rituals, temple construction and worship, and their lives were fraught with uncertainty under the gods' inscrutable will.
This document discusses the development of ideas about humanity from ancient Greece to modernity. It covers Greek mythology and philosophy, the Jewish conception of divine filiation in the Bible, the Christian synthesis of these ideas, and features of modern thinking like humanism, naturalism and rationalism. The modern idea of man sees humanity as defined by science, with God no longer an object of natural sciences and religion viewed as irrational. This transforms the human idea by naturalizing the soul and basing dignity on natural processes rather than divine filiation.

The document describes the biblical account of creation from Genesis 1-2. It recounts how God created the heavens and earth, light, day and night, land and sea, plants and trees, the sun and moon, sea creatures, birds, land animals, and humans. It then discusses different views on reconciling the biblical account with scientific theories of origins and evolution. Approaches covered include young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and evolutionary creationism. The document emphasizes principles of biblical and scientific interpretation and areas of both agreement and disagreement among Christians on understanding origins.
This document discusses man's search for truth and some of the challenges involved. It notes that appearances can be deceiving and that our preconceived ideas often stand in the way of seeing things as they truly are. It suggests that to understand truth more profoundly requires opening our minds and hearts more, as well as looking both within and without. Truth involves comprehending things in their essence beyond just appearances or analysis, tapping into deeper qualities within ourselves that certain phenomena spark in response.
The document discusses spiritual struggles and folk religions, providing examples of cultural levels of spiritual power in the Philippines and how to create a map of indigenous spiritualities.

Tony looks at the prayers of church in Revelation and compares them to the prayers of the angels. The difference shines the light on a radical humanism - because the church (ie humanity) sees so much more than the angels do, and is closer to the heart of God.

The document discusses the emergence of divine kingship in archaic religions. It provides context on Hawaiian mythology and the role of gods like Ku, Lono, Kane, and Kanaloa. It also examines characteristics of archaic religions like the Makahiki festival rituals, and how chiefdoms transitioned to divine kingship through centralized political control, formalized temple systems, and the king being viewed as an instantiation of the gods on Earth with specialized residences.
This document discusses spiritual warfare between angels and demons. It summarizes that Lucifer, a high-ranking cherub angel, rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven along with 1/3 of the angels. Some angels also took human wives in ancient times, becoming the first demons. Now, believers face spiritual battles against these fallen angels led by Satan, though Christ has won the ultimate victory. The end times may bring increased demonic activity to oppose God's people and turn people away from Him until Christ returns.

person or a made
image, if worshiped as
a god." (HM)

Kānenuiākea, a single god and many gods in
one." (KPK)

and knowledge, and all of them carried out
his orders, assisted by the mana of Kū and
Lono, whose mana was less than Kāne's."
(NMPK)

"In the first era Kane dwells alone in
continual darkness; there is neither heaven
nor earth." (HM quoting FHA)
"He represented the god of procreation and

"The three gods Kane, Ku, Lono come out of
the night (po) and create three heavens to
dwell in, the uppermost for Kane, the next
below for Ku, and a heaven for Lono." (HM
quoting FHA)
"Kane and Kanaloa go into the precipitous
mountains back of Keanae on Maui and lack
water. They discuss whether it can be
obtained at this height... so Kane thrusts in
his staff made of heavy, close-grained kauila
wood and water gushes forth." (HM)
