An early Jewish ascetic sect around 350 A.D. known as the Essenes, took many of their ideas from early gnosticism. The Essenes provoked conflicts with the Biblical Pharisees and the Sadducees. They even argued that the established Hebrew lunar year was inaccurate. They finally were forced out of Jerusalem, and they established a monastery at Qumran. The Essenes were divided into two parts-the married, as well as the unmarried. All of the Essenes property were communal. Alot of their problems arose because of their communal lifestyle.

Christians, namely Trinitarians, claim that Trinity is three in one and one in three. In terms of cardinality it is logical enough to notice that three means one, two, and three, that is more than one. It simply means plurality. But how do Christians justify and compromise this plurality? This is what we will see in the following discussion.

You have all heard me talk about Smith Wigglesworth. He had a major healing ministry in the early to mid 1900's. In my opinion, he was one of the greatest eagles to have ever walked this earth. If God has a hall of fame, this man will definitely be in it. The only book he had ever read was the Bible.

Islam is in crisis and traveling for the Holly Days is quite dangerous. The Pilgrimages are dangerous and many have died from stampedes in getting there. There is also an issue with polio as there are still 17 countries and most are predominantly Muslim which still have not gotten rid of the disease. Meanwhile due to insurgents making roadside bombs and attempting suicide-murdering missions there is now stricter border crossing security by coalition, US and Iraqi Troops.

Building a church is a large project that is more than constructing natural materials, because building a church is building an expression of a church congregation's heart. Building a church has a purpose that is much more than housing classrooms or meeting rooms. Building a church is building a sanctuary, a refuge that has eternal purposes. This is why it is important for any congregation of people considering building a church to thoroughly investigate church building designs, church builders, and architects.

I thought I would draw this article up as a reference page in the event any of you would ever need, at a quick glance, exactly what the 10 commandments are. Most Christians do not have all of them memorized. I will actually type out the specific Bible verse the 10 commandments comes off of as God makes some additional statements under some of these commandments that is usually not written down when you see little tablets of the 10 commandments at your local Christian bookstore.

Is there an ideal kind of life that you dream about? Perhaps your ideal life consists of more money, more friends, or more time to do the things you love. Maybe the ideal life is one filled with less work and more vacations. Having the ideal life can be as simple as starting to exercise more, losing weight and becoming healthy again. Whatever kind of life you dream about having, I guarentee that it will take a little more than fate to get you there.
