Book Description
Jesus’ world was far more religiously pluralistic than most of us imagine. He grew up and headquartered His ministry in “Galilee of the Gentiles.” He regularly rubbed shoulders with polytheistic and superstitious Romans, with philosophical and sophisticated Greeks, with hard-partying pagans, and with God-fearing Africans. The Bible tells us that Jesus, unlike His fellow countrymen, did not avoid the despised and syncretistic Samaritans. Nor did Jesus shun the Jews who were considered persona non grata in the local synagogues, like those who worked for the occupying government, or who rejected Hebrew ways in favor of Greek, or who lived hellion lifestyles. Moreover, Jesus interacted with individuals representing all of the major sects of Judaism--Sadducees, Pharisees, Zealots, and Essenes. And these included a huge variety of spiritual expression from the emotional to the contemplative, from the spontaneous to the staid, from Bible-thumpers to compassion-lovers, from those who push religion to the four corners of their lives while others passionately seek to push it to the four corners of the globe. Is there some way to categorize, organize and understand the varieties of spiritual expression that Jesus encountered? Is it possible that the kinds of people Jesus dealt with in His day are similar to the ones we face today? Are there prototypical and stereotypical religious patterns to which people gravitate? And why do we do so? If we lived in Jesus’ day, what spiritual “camp” would be most like ours? How would Jesus approach us? What would he do with us? What would our Spiritual Profile be?

Book Description
Masters, light body is your divine-human spirit embodied in the substance of love. Light body will evolve its DNA codes and transcriptions exponentially throughout the many New Earths. The New Earth Heart is your transporter star gate, a magnetic imprinter, source code/r, centrifuge, quark stem cell particle, and bioship for New Earth spirit matter, inside embodied love. We offer a simple base line descriptive physics that is relevant for this perceptual moment to switch from the Old Earth matrix blueprints and mass programming to New Earth quantum DNA blueprints. The light body in the Multilight Universe is a blend of the physical and nonphysical into new conscious superconductive light systems. These bio-systems include new adaptive DNA source code templates made of organic essence consciousness. Your new species DNA Soul Heart Core Light allows parallel potential realities at once in your light universe. It is a blend of divine and human. It is a blend between seen and unseen worlds. It is a blend between the atom and newly born quantum light particle. It is a blend of a crystal soul cell, a diamond spirit cell, a multiplasma orb, and liquid light particle cell.

The Community Rules from Qumran
Author: Charlotte Hempel
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 316157026X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
In this volume, Charlotte Hempel offers the first comprehensive commentary on all twelve ancient manuscripts of the Rules of the Community, works which contain the most important descriptions of the organisation and values ascribed to the movement associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls. The best preserved copy of this work (1QS) was one of the first scrolls to be published and has long dominated the scholarly assessment of the Rules. The approach adopted in this commentary is to capture the distinctive nature of each of the manuscripts based on a synoptic translation that presents all the manuscripts at a glance. Textual notes and Commentary deal with the picture derived from all preserved manuscripts. The publication of the Cave 4 manuscripts in 1998 can be likened to a volcanic eruption that challenged prevalent notions of the Community Rules that were founded on the quasi-archetypal status of the Cave 1 copy published in 1951. Since then the smoke has lifted and, as the pieces have begun to settle, we see green shoots emerging in the scholarly debate.. This commentary embraces the post-volcanic landscape of the Community Rules, which is carefully sifted for clues to establish a fresh reading of the material in conversation with the latest research on the Scrolls. The evidence suggests that some of the practices described as the beating heart of the movement's organization reflect the aspirations of a privileged sub-elite from the late Second Temple Period.
