The church must be grounded in faith and truth of Christology. We must base our practice of faith on WWJD.
Freedom To Love 2008 10 04
The document discusses Pope John Paul II's theology of the body and its application to understanding freedom, love, and human sexuality. It explains that the body reveals spiritual truths about God and humanity. The theology of the body shows that God created humans with bodies and sexuality to live in communion and express love. It counters modern cultural views that often promote distorted understandings of sex, love, and the human person.
Ecclesiology in the Patristic Era
St. Clement of Rome was a bishop of Rome in the late 1st century who authored an influential letter to the church in Corinth. In the letter, he draws analogies between the church and an army or body to emphasize that the church is a unified whole under the authority of its leaders, with different roles and gifts. He argues the church should obey authorities appointed by God rather than those who cause divisions. St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of John the Evangelist who succeeded Evodius as bishop of Antioch around the year 70. He strengthened the church during Roman persecution in the 1st century through preaching, prayer, and fasting. The document provides background on patrology
Pneumatological architectonic
The document outlines a philosophical theology based on interobjective indeterminacy and a minimalist view of God as The One. It also describes a 5-part christology grounded in intersubjective intimacy focused on orientation, sanctification, empowerment, healing and salvation. A 5-part pneumatology is presented based on intraobjective identity and a robust view of nature, expressed through eschatology, sophiology, ecclesiology, sacramentology and soteriology. Finally, a 5-part theological anthropology is discussed grounded in intrasubjective integrity and an optimistic yet cautious vision of humanity approached through an axiological epistemology considering historical, cultural, social, economic and political dimensions.
Practicing Paradoxy: Exploring Incarnational Christianity
This document discusses paradigms and paradigm shifts within Christianity. It explores how paradigms of power, certainty, and security are collapsing and argues for a new paradigm focused on faith, hope, and love. This new paradigm, called "incarnational orthodoxy," emphasizes relationship with Christ over doctrinal beliefs or ethical practices. It promotes oneness in Christ, the law of love, transformational living, radical hospitality, and inclusive community. The document provides examples of how this new paradigm could shape church ministries and calls readers to discern how to apply its principles within their own congregational contexts.
Deut 017-slides
This document discusses the source of moral authority and key doctrines in theology. It examines where moral authority comes from, either from man or a self-revealing God. It then outlines several key events and doctrines in theology, including creation, the fall, covenants with Abraham, revelation at Mount Sinai, and the rise and fall of kingdoms. It also discusses the doctrine of revelation and how God has revealed himself through verbal, personal, historical and comprehensive means through prophets.
5 scripture 4
The document discusses the views of early church fathers on the relationship between Scripture and tradition. It provides examples from figures like Origen, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Basil, and Augustine who affirmed roles for both Scripture and tradition/the church. They viewed Scripture as central but not alone, and saw tradition/interpretation from the church as valuable. The document also discusses the process by which the biblical canon was formed, noting it was a gradual historical process not defined until later councils. This raises questions about whether the canon is a fallible list of infallible books for those who hold scripture alone as the highest authority.

Marks of the Church
The document outlines the four marks of the Catholic Church: it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. It explains that the Church is one because it is united in faith, worship, and governance. It is holy because it was founded by God and animated by the Holy Spirit. It is catholic or universal in time, space, and membership. And it is apostolic because it was founded on the apostles. These four characteristics indicate essential features of the Church and her mission as given to her by Christ through the Holy Spirit.

4. The Church is apostolic by continuing the teachings and mission of the Apostles through their successors until Christ's return.
Varying Points of Views about the Equallyoked Coupleship
This document presents perspectives on the Christian concept of "equally yoked" from various world religions. Views include:
- Paganism sees it as exclusively coupled pairs within a worldwide society.
- Rastafarianism sees it as born of God for preserving right living and stability.
- Early American folk beliefs saw it as symbolic of God's first love in Eden.
- Buddhism sees equally yoked couples as able to communicate well due to their connection.
- Many religions see equally yoked couples as exemplifying high moral values, love, and/or as testimony of God's love and a gift to Christianity.
4 justification 2
1. The early church fathers had no mature dogma on justification and saw it as both an event and ongoing process.
2. They defined faith as "obedient faith" and advocated synergism between human works and God's grace.
3. With Pelagius and Augustine, views began to take shape, with Pelagius believing in free will and illuminating grace, while Augustine emphasized original sin, a compromised will, and justification as a gift of God making one inherently just through faith.
Reformation Introduction, Martin Luther
The document provides an overview of Martin Luther's Reformation, beginning with his early life and time as an Augustinian monk. It discusses how Luther broke with the Catholic Church over issues like indulgences and his 95 Theses. Key events included debates with Catholic theologians and appearing before the Diet of Worms. The summary then outlines the development of early Lutheranism through Luther's writings, emphasis on music and marriage, and core theological teachings like sola fide and sola scriptura. It also notes some criticism of Luther and his views on the early Church fathers.
The Use of Models in Ecclesiology
This document discusses the use of models in ecclesiology. It describes how the church has been modeled using images and symbols from scripture like the body of Christ, bride of Christ, flock, and more. It also describes how the church has been modeled institutionally with teaching, sanctifying, and governing functions. While institutional models provided structure, they risked legalism and clericalism. Overall, multiple complementary models are needed to understand the church's mystery since no single model can adequately capture its richness.

Behold, my hands and my feet!
This document contrasts "wrong" theories about the resurrection of Jesus with the "right" or true account from the Bible. It addresses theories that the resurrection was a fraud, myth, that Jesus swooned or had hallucinations, or that he appeared as a ghost. The conclusion affirms that the resurrection was an actual, historical event based on biblical evidence like the eyewitness accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances to his disciples. Readers are asked to reflect on whether Jesus is the most important figure in their lives and how they can proclaim his resurrection to others through their own hands and feet.
New Zealand: Christianity is Pregnant
The document discusses three possible futures for Christianity: continuing contraction, conservative resurgence, or pregnancy. It argues that pregnancy, characterized by theological and liturgical renewal, missional reorientation, and new ecumenical alliances, is the best future. For Christianity to experience pregnancy, it will require convergence between progressive Catholics, evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and other groups. Pregnancy will convert, cost, and change Christians, and will require a romance between social movements and institutions.
5 scripture 3
The document provides an overview of how various early church fathers and reformers approached and used scripture.

THE THREE CROSSES
This sermon discusses three crosses: 1) The cross of Calvary, where Jesus sacrificed himself to show humanity how to live selflessly. 2) The cross of matter, referring to the eternal sacrifice where life limits itself by taking form in the material world to nourish creation. 3) The cross of our own hearts, where we can experience crucifixion by letting go of selfishness and resurrection by living selflessly for others through following Christ's example. All three crosses represent the same principle of selfless love through sacrifice that sustains both humanity and the cosmos.

Reformation 500 Part 2 - The Protestant Provision
This document discusses the Protestant provision of making the Bible available to everyone through inspiration, preservation, and translation. It describes how God inspired holy men to write scripture through His Spirit. The scriptures were carefully preserved by scribes and scholars over centuries. Translations into other languages increased access, from Wycliffe's English translation to Luther's German Bible which helped spark the Reformation. The advent of the printing press allowed mass production of vernacular Bibles, culminating in the Authorized King James Version. The Protestant belief holds that the Bible is the final authority for faith and practice.
Week 8 - The Bible
The document discusses reasons for believing that the Bible is authoritative. It argues that the Bible has authority because it comes from God, not just from human authors. It provides 6 reasons for this: 1) The amazing unity of the Bible despite being written by many authors over many years, 2) Fulfilled prophecies that could only come from divine knowledge, 3) Historical accuracy even when recording supernatural events, 4) Surviving extensive copying and persecution, 5) Answering fundamental questions of human existence, and 6) Changing lives over thousands of years. Each reason is examined in more detail, providing evidence for the divine inspiration of Scripture.

It covers key topics like what forms a worldview, addressing doubts about topics like suffering and science, and reasons why faith in God and the gospel are reasonable. The document concludes by discussing how embracing a Christian worldview can change one's entire perspective on life and the world.
Living by the Book Week 3
This document provides an overview of Bible study methods from the book "Living by the Book" by Howard and William Hendricks. It discusses key concepts like observation, interpretation, application, and correlation. It also examines the importance of properly applying Scripture rather than just interpreting or superficially obeying it. The document cautions that Bible principles should align with God's overall teaching and address real-life needs today. It emphasizes allowing the Bible to transform our character through patient acquisition of virtue rather than quick religious experiences.
Living by the Book Week 2
This document provides an overview of Bible study methods, focusing on the step of interpretation. It discusses interpreting the meaning of what has been observed through applying context, comparing passages, understanding the cultural backdrop, and consulting additional resources. As an example, it examines Titus 3:3-8 and prompts the reader to interpret the passage by considering its content, context, points of comparison, cultural influences, and through consultation. The reader is guided to develop key learnings and surface secondary insights from properly interpreting the passage.
Living by the Book Week 1
This document provides an introduction to methods for studying the Bible. It discusses different views of what the Bible is, such as an answer book, owner's manual, or theological textbook. It then defines the Bible as a collection of writings containing God's interaction with man. The rest of the document outlines various tools and strategies for observing the content, structure, and meaning of biblical texts, such as asking questions, examining grammar, literary structure, and principles of structure. Readers are instructed to practice these observation techniques on the provided passages from Titus and bring back 50 observations for discussion next week.
The bible.w2
The Bible documents God's interactions with humanity over history. It includes historical accounts, laws, poetry, prophecy, and more, capturing the full breadth of human experience from creation to exile to restoration. The Old Testament specifically establishes the Law through Moses and the early history of Israel, then documents the kingdom period and exile through writings and the prophets, consistently revealing God's character.

Second talk in a series title, "Growing with God in a Facebook Age." A quick survey of how God uses technology in the Bible.
Growing with God in a Facebook Age
The document discusses the increasing prevalence of technology in modern society, including:
- Over half of US households have 3+ TVs and 60% own computers
- 4.6 billion cell phones worldwide
- The development of the internet from the 1950s with packet switching and time sharing allowing for remote connections
- Websites and social networking becoming dominant forms of online interaction

Purpose Of Groups at FBC McKinney

It provides examples from the book of Acts to support these purposes. It also notes that groups should flourish through flexible structures and reproduce by releasing members to start new groups. Finally, it distinguishes between two types of groups - Bible fellowship groups and community groups.
Christ the God-Man Part 3
Third in a three part series on Christ's claims to be God and man and the difference it makes for His followers.
Christ the God-Man Part 2
This is the second in a three part series on looking at the person of Christ and the difference it makes that He was completely God and man.
Christ the God-Man Part 1
The document discusses the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. It provides biblical evidence that Jesus is God, including his conception by the Holy Spirit, his claims to be equal with God, and his ability to perform miracles. The New Testament also refers to Jesus as God and Savior. Extra-biblical sources from the time criticize Christians for worshipping Jesus as God rather than just acknowledging him as a servant of God. The document aims to show how understanding Christ as both God and man impacts his followers.
Sin Study
Sin refers to humanity's intrinsic failure to let God be God and to prioritize one's own interests over God. This led to Adam and Eve disobeying God and eating the forbidden fruit. As a result of original sin, humans are born with a sinful nature that inclines them to wrong acts and thoughts. However, God demonstrates his love for humanity by sending Jesus to die for sins, so that all may be saved through faith in Christ and no longer defined by their sin.
God’S Presentation Of Grace
The document outlines God's presentation of grace through seven acts in biblical history. It shows how God established fellowship, provision, and promises with mankind from Adam and Eve to the present age. This pattern helps believers understand God's continual work and builds confidence that he will fulfill his promises in the future. Having trust in God has always been essential in all ages.
The Tension In The Journey.2333.Web
The document discusses the tension that exists between prayer and God's sovereignty. It notes that while God is absolutely sovereign, He still invites believers to pray to Him and promises to answer prayers. This creates a paradox that the human mind cannot fully understand. However, believers can find intimacy with God through prayer, aided by the Holy Spirit who helps them pray according to God's will. Prayer is both an obligation for Christians and a way to glorify God.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.

- 2. What is the Bible? The Bible is not a book for the faint of heart - it is a book full of all the greed and glory and violence and tenderness and sex and betrayal that benefits mankind. It is not the collection of pretty little anecdotes mouthed by pious little church mice - it does not so much nibble at our shoe leather as it cuts to the heart and splits the marrow from the bone. It does not give us answers fitted to our small-minded questions, but truth that goes beyond what we can even know to ask. from Thoughts and Reflections by Rich Mullins

Editor's Notes
- Indulgences soled by Johann Tetzel. Diet of Worms in 1521 lead to excommunication by Pope Leo X Translation of the Bible into German NT 1522 and OT in 1534. Others had translated it into German but Luther tailored his translation to his doctrine. His translation was in a German that could be read by Northern and Southern Germans. Published at a time of rising demand for German-language publications, Luther's version quickly became a popular and influential Bible translation. As such, it made a significant contribution to the evolution of the German language and literature.[126] Furnished with notes and prefaces by Luther, and with woodcuts by Lucas Cranach that contained anti-papal imagery, it played a major role in the spread of Luther's doctrine throughout Germany.[127] The Luther Bible influenced other vernacular translations, such as William Tyndale's English Bible (1525 forward), a precursor of the King James Bible.[128]
- the popularity ofWycliffe's Bible in the 14th century resulted in a ban on the publication of the Bible in English; almost all vernacular Bibles were confiscated and burned. Tyndale's illegal translation was the first of the new English Bibles of the Reformation, and the first to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts, and the first to take advantage of the new medium of the print, which allowed for wide distribution. This was taken to be a direct challenge to the hegemony of both the Roman Catholic Church and the English church and state. Tyndale also wrote, in 1530, The Practyse of Prelates, opposing Henry VIII's divorce on the grounds that it contravened scriptural law.
