  • (Leviticus 10:6): on Mourning and Refraining from Mourning in the Bible
    1 “Do not bare your heads and do not rend your clothes” (Leviticus 10:6): On Mourning and Refraining from Mourning in the Bible Yael Shemesh, Bar Ilan University Many agree today that objective research devoid of a personal dimension is a chimera. As noted by Fewell (1987:77), the very choice of a research topic is influenced by subjective factors. Until October 2008, mourning in the Bible and the ways in which people deal with bereavement had never been one of my particular fields of interest and my various plans for scholarly research did not include that topic. Then, on October 4, 2008, the Sabbath of Penitence (the Sabbath before the Day of Atonement), my beloved father succumbed to cancer. When we returned home after the funeral, close family friends brought us the first meal that we mourners ate in our new status, in accordance with Jewish custom, as my mother, my three brothers, my father’s sisters, and I began “sitting shivah”—observing the week of mourning and receiving the comforters who visited my parent’s house. The shivah for my father’s death was abbreviated to only three full days, rather than the customary week, also in keeping with custom, because Yom Kippur, which fell only four days after my father’s death, truncated the initial period of mourning. Before my bereavement I had always imagined that sitting shivah and conversing with those who came to console me, when I was so deep in my grief, would be more than I could bear emotionally and thought that I would prefer for people to leave me alone, alone with my pain.

  • Introduction and Welcome
    Welcome To Grace Primitive Baptist Church We are thankful for your interest in Grace Primitive Baptist Church and pray you will see fit to visit us or visit us again. The purpose of this introductory pamphlet is to better acquaint you with the beliefs of the church. Since we are a typical Primitive Baptist church, much of the pamphlet will discuss the beliefs of Primitive Baptists in general. Primitive Baptists are a small denomination having significant differences from most other churches. These are differences you will want to understand, and we hope you will also examine them under the light of scripture to confirm they are indeed Bible-based. Numerous scriptural references are given for the claims that are made Primitive Baptists are an ancient body. The word “primitive” primarily means “original,” and this is the meaning in “Primitive Baptist.” We have beliefs and practices almost identical to that of Baptists in early America and England. Many Baptists in America derived from the “Regular Baptists.” The Primitive Baptists and old Regular Baptists are essentially the same. One of the most distinguishing marks of Primitive Baptists is that we believe the Bible to be the sole rule of faith and practice. We not only believe the Bible to be inerrant, but also believe it to be sufficient for all spiritual needs and obligations of man (2Tim 3:16, 1Pet 4:11). As a consequence, we aim for a greater degree of Bible conformity than most modern churches. Since the Bible was written in the infinite wisdom of God, we believe it to be void of both error and oversight, and therefore believe any departure from its precepts or precedents will either be in error or else entail loss of effectiveness toward achieving objectives that are important to God.

  • Pentecostal History
    Pentecostal History By Tim Naab Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Isaiah 8:16-20 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. "The loud speaker or singer believes that his self-induced hypnotic trance is *enthusiasm and he believes that this means that god is within. He doesn't know that Philo coined this word to describe those afflicted, as in Corinth, with enthus o mania - just momentary insanity. Philo "developed a doctrine of ecstasy or ek-stasis, which means standing outside oneself.' This is the highest form of piety which lies beyond faith. This mysticism unites prophetic ecstasy with *'enthusiasm', a word which comes from en-theos-mania, meaning to possess the divine. From this there comes finally the fully developed mystical system of the Neo-Platonists, for example, of Dionysus the Areopagite.

  • North American Convention of the Church of God Anderson, Indiana June 29, 2005
    THE PHENOMENA OF THE SPIRIT A Paper Prepared for the Doctrinal Dialogue 119th North American Convention of the Church of God Anderson, Indiana June 29, 2005 Dr. James W. Lewis Professor of Christian Ethics, Anderson University School of Theology I. INTRODUCTION My assignment is a broad one. “It is to address the issues of “speaking in tongues” as the initial evidence [or sign] of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, as well as the nature of the gift of tongues. Also, the paper is to deal with physical manifestations often referred to as “laughing in the spirit,” “dancing in the spirit,” and “groaning in the spirit.” These are the specifics of my assignment. Due to the broad nature of the topic, I am limiting my response today to “Speaking in Tongues,” “Being Slain in the Spirit,” and the “Holy Laughter” phenomenon, which itself is surrounded by still other phenomena. Except for purposes of clarity, then, this paper will not involve a systematic study of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. There are significant earlier and later works on this subject.1 I am focusing more on the “phenomena” or physical “manifestations” that often have been attributed to the Holy Spirit. I believe it is crucial to acknowledge upfront that the Church of God early pioneers appeared to be open to all that the Holy Spirit might visit on them. There was a yearning for real experiences of the Holy Spirit. Certainly this desire included the acknowledgment and legitimacy of a variety of 1 Merle D.
