Who the heck was Arius?

by Will Power in

re: previous discussions about the should you believe in the trinity brochure.. i found it surprising that the "truth[tm]" about the history of this little doctrine just plum forgot to include any reference whatsoever to arius, one of the main characters in the story.. there is much to read on this guy & his movement.. arianism - a heresy of the early christian church relating to definitions of the human or divine status of the person of jesus christ, was the first important doctrinal difficulty in the church after the legalization of christianity took place under emperor constantine i. .

arius was a priest of the catholic church in alexandria, egypt.

in a.d. 321 he was condemned by a synod at alexandria for teaching a heterodox view of the relationship of jesus christ to god the father.

memories you can share with your home congregation.

one last point.

while the buildings, machines, and procedures you get to see and learn about are interesting and encouraging, they pale in comparison to the affect the tour guides and the bethel workers will have on you and the friends traveling with you.

The Prevention of Literature-orwell

this was written in 1946. the organized lying practiced by totalitarian states is not, as is sometimes claimed, a temporary expedient of the same nature as military deception.

it is something integral to totalitarianism, something that would still continue even if concentration camps and secret police forces had ceased to be necessary.

among intelligent communists there is an underground legend to the effect that although the russian government is obliged now to deal in lying propaganda, frame-up trials, and so forth, it is secretly recording the true facts and will publish them at some future time.

town must have designated satan area .

inglis, fla. (satirewire.com) the american civil liberties union said today the tiny florida town of inglis, whose mayor issued a proclamation officially outlawing satan last year, must establish a designated satanic area for the dark one and his followers.

town commissioners, eager to avoid a threatened aclu lawsuit, said they will likely comply with the request and cordon off a small area behind town hall where satanists can congregate on their coffee and lunch breaks.

The Red "Cross"

seeing the new logo for the red cross today, it dawned on me that the wt might not have such an aversion to blood as much as what they call a demonic symbol - the cross that represents the organization that eventually provided a blood service.

back in the old days of the wt, blood transfusions were not an issue, mostly because they weren't done.. their ridiculous stance on other organizations such as the ymca, salvation army, united nations, show that their aversion to the red cross must also include the symbol of the cross and judging by the mandates & phylosophy of the red cross below (from their web site), they might have seen them as competition!.

the distinctive red cross emblem, first used in 1864, symbolizes our neutrality and humanitarian mandate.
