For the sake of consistency, we have a few Article Naming Conventions at the Browncoat Wiki that everyone should follow when creating a new article.
New Categories
When creating a new category, please keep the name to a maximum of three words. Categories should be broad and able to encompass a large number of articles. Also, please check our list of current categories Category:Browse to make sure there are no other categories created by that name or that would better suit the type of articles you intend to place in the new category.
New Articles
If you are creating a new article and will not be adding information, or if the information is incomplete, please add the stub template to the end of the article. For more information view Template:Stub. Based on the type of article you are creating, there are also a few naming conventions you should be aware of:
Regional Browncoat Groups
New Browncoat Group articles should be placed in the appropriate subcategory in Category:Regional Groups. When creating the new article, please try to avoid use of the word the unless it is specifically stated as part of the group name. (ie. New England Browncoats ... not the New England Browncoats).
- US Browncoat Groups
- If you are adding a United States Browncoat group and are unsure which region subcategory the article should be placed in, there is a reference map on the Category:Regional Groups page. When creating the article, US groups should have the two-letter abbreviation for their state noted after the name of the group. (ie. Charlotte Browncoats (NC) is an appropriate title.) *NOTE* - If the group is regional (ie. Southeastern Browncoats) and not state-based, no state abbreviation is necessary.
- Canadian Browncoat Groups
- Since the number of Canadian Browncoat groups is significantly lower, the only subcategory in which you can place a Canadian group article is Category:Canada. No state/province abbreviations necessary.
- Browncoat Groups in Other Countries
- Due to the small number of groups in other countries, the only subcategory in which you can place an International group article is Category:International. (When a country has 4+ regional Browncoat Groups, a subcategory will be created specifically for that country.) When creating the article, International groups should have the two or three-letter abbreviation for their country noted after the name of the group. (ie. Belgian Browncoats (BEL) is an appropriate title.)
Event Names & Formatting
When creating an event, create it the same way you would any other article in the wiki. When naming the event, use the official title of the event only (do not enter a year, as it will become outdated over time). Include both information relevant to that year's event as well as the event's history on this page - try to separate this information with headers. When applicable, please include the following (in this format):
- Location - city, state abbreviation (or country abbreviation)
- Dates - month & dates, year
- Hotel - name, address
- Room Rate - (please include currency type with price)
- Registration Rates - (same here)
- Website - linked name
Once you have finished entering information for the event, place the article in the Special Events category.

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction"In a world governed by complexity, where the need to see the truer and the simpler form of things is walked upon, it is indeed true that simplicity is elegance.
The thought is easy enough to grasp. Whatever is easy to understand is simple, but to practice it in its truest form is often quite intricate . We find our lives recurrently cluttered with emotionless attachments and useless burdens that are the epitome of complexity. Simplicity is often elusive, but always present.
The epiphany that 'simple is better' was fuelled again by the newer visionaries like Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg. They have recognised the power of simplicity and its form as an art. No longer is 'simple' linked with inefficient or futile. Simplicity is now demanded. It is expected.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -Leonardo da Vinci
The world now calls for a genius who can transform the yet complex reality into a simpler web of knowledge; an ingenious web that is free from the binding of being complicated.
Simplicity is being redefined and there's a revolution in the boil. It is not the calm before a storm."Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing." - Oscar Wilde

About Our Cover ...
A tenth century Greek vellum manuscript, from Calabria, Italy, of the four Gospels -- in the Ambassador College Library, Pasadena -- illustrates one of the purposes for the life-work of the apostle Paul.
Magnified is verse eighteen of Matthew 16: "And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter (petros -- a little stone), and upon this rock (Petra -- a boulder or rock ledge) I will build my church; and the gates of (the grave) shall not prevail against it."
What that Church is -- and what that petra is -- will be explained in this and succeeding lessons.
JESUS CHRIST said, "I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH."
Did He build it?
That Church, said Jesus, would NEVER be extinguished. "And the gates of hell (the grave)," He said, "shall not prevail against it" (Mat. 16:18). Christ's Church is to LAST THROUGH all ages! Has it? WHERE IS it, today?
Is it divided -- composed of more than 400 different, disagreeing, arguing sects?
Did God's Church rapidly grow big, become a powerful organization, exerting powerful influence on the world? Did it gradually turn to false doctrines, finally splitting up into today's denominations?
You need to ASK -- and to ANSWER -- these questions. Strange to say, almost everyone -- for these past nineteen centuries -- has been looking IN THE WRONG PLACE for the Church Jesus built.
What really happened -- after 70 A.D. -- to the Church of the Bible? Was it shifted to Rome? What DID happen?
The True Church DID NOT DIE after 70 A.D.! It went to sleep. It was foretold in a parable (Mat. 25:1-13). Ten virgins (the pure Church) expected Christ's immediate return. But while he TARRIED, all slumbered and slept. Only after nearly 1900 years, finally, in our generation, they began very drowsily to awaken. Only half of them were found ready to carry on the work of warning the world at its midnight hour.
But where has the True Church been for these 1900 years? HOW and WHERE did it sleep, and WHY did it awaken?
Here is what Mosheim, the church historian, admits: "Christian churches had scarcely been organized when MEN ROSE UP, who, not being contented with the simplicity and purity of that religion which the Apostles taught, attempted innovations, and fashioned religion ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN LIKING."
There were conspirators! Men masquerading as God's ministers -- but who were wolves in sheep's clothing!
Since the new inventions and ideas of these clever men required PROOF -- not to be found in the writings of the Apostles -- "recourse was had to falsehoods and impositions ... When asked where they had learned what they so confidently taught, some produced fictitious books under the names of Abraham, Zoroaster, and Christ, or His Apostles; some pretended to have derived their principles from a secret doctrine taught by Christ."
Had the True Church gone wrong? Or was this ANOTHER, a DIFFERENT and FALSE church, that was being founded by men who were tools of Satan the Devil?
A telltale clue is found in the complete absence of historical connecting links. A great yawning gap -- an unbridgeable chasm -- lies between the APOSTOLIC Church Jesus founded and the earliest beginnings of today's professing Christian churches. Nearly all the writings of the Church in the years after 70 A.D. have perished. Only prophecy remains -- and the slanders of enemies!
The historian Gibbon ("Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire") candidly states: "The scanty materials of ecclesiastical history seldom enable us to dispel the cloud that hangs over the first age of the church."
For nearly a century Church history is blank! Jesse Lyman Hurlbut ("The Story of the Christian Church") calls this period, just after Acts, the "Age of Shadows."
He continues "... of all the periods in the church's history, it is the one about which we know the least ... For fifty years after St. Paul's life A CURTAIN HANGS OVER THE CHURCH, THROUGH WHICH WE STRIVE VAINLY TO LOOK; and when at last it rises about 120 A.D. with the writings of the earliest CHURCH FATHERS, we find A CHURCH in many aspects VERY DIFFERENT from that in the days of St. Peter and St. Paul."
Was this -- when the curtain arose -- really the same church?
It was NOT!
The True Church of God had faded from view! ANOTHER churchwas on stage!
But the life and the mission of the TRUE Church was not finished!
This and following lessons will show you the astounding, but little known facts of Church history. It will clearly identify and describe the True New Testament Church of Jesus Christ -- and prove where that Church is today.
1. Have those really faithful to God ever been many? Consider the time of the Flood. Gen. 6:5 and 7:1. Were there so few in Elijah's time that he thought he was the only faithful one? I Kings 19:14. Did God show him He had reserved a mere 7000 to be His own? Verse 18. Out of millions in Israel, only a population equal to one average small town!
2. Had Jesus led -- in three and one-half years -- an even smaller number? Acts 1:15. Certainly Jesus had not been trying to save the world THEN! What a miserable failure, if that were His aim!
3. Did Jesus prophesy there would be few that find the way? Mat. 7:14. Compare Luke 12:32.
4. What did Jesus tell His Apostles to do? Mat. 28:18-20. Did He say He would build a Church? Mat. 16:18.
5. Does Mat. 16:18 imply that at times the True Church would be so small as to seem in danger of completely dying out? But WOULD it ever die? Same verse.
COMMENT: The gates of hell (original Greek means "the grave") COULD never prevail over Christ's Church. Of course! For Christ Himself is alive and active -- more than able to guard and guide His "little flock" throughout all ages.
6. Would it have been possible for civilization as a whole to have ever been influenced greatly by the truth? John 1:5; 3:19. Compare I John 3:1; 4:6 with this. Surely FEW COULD ever have been converted.
1. Had Jesus prepared the way for the founding of His Church? Mat. 4:24-25; Acts 26:26, last part. How many were added to the New Testament Church in its first day of existence? Acts 2:41. Did it continue to grow? Verse 47.
2. Were miracles again performed by the same POWER that had been in Jesus Christ? Acts 2:43; 3:7; 5:12, 14-15, 16; 6:8.
3. Did Peter and all the Apostles continue to SPEAK BOLDLY, the same POWER of the Holy Spirit motivating THEM? Acts 2:14, 40; 3:4, 6, 12, 14-16; 4:8-10.
4. Was the True Gospel heard and known by a great many -- the majority of all people living in Judea at the time? Acts 2:6; 3:9, 10; 4:21. How many now were members of the Church? Acts 4:4; 5:14; 6:1, 7.
COMMENT: These CAME OUT of the world -- they LEFT their Jewish denominations. They were no longer of the world, but were FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (John 17:15-17; Rom. 8:9).
After such a start -- such booming, powerful growth -- the infant Church might seem to be overwhelming the world. But it was not long to be so!
1. What kind of reception does the world give God's Church? Acts 2:13; 26:24. Does the truth make some people MAD? Acts 4:2. Had Jesus prophesied persecution? John 15:20; II Tim. 3:12.
2. Did persecution come early? Acts 5:17-18; 6:9-13. To what did this lead -- to a complete scattering of the members of the Church? Acts 8:1, 3.
3. But could all of Saul's raging stop the progress of the gospel? Acts 8:4-6. To whom at first did scattered Christians spread the Word? Acts 11:19. But then to whom? Verses 20 and 21.
COMMENT: This was done according to the will of the LIVING Jesus Christ to work out His PLAN here below. For salvation was not to be limited to Judea.
4. To whom did PHILIP go? Acts 8:5, 6.
COMMENT: The Samaritans were Gentiles, descendants of Babylonian and other immigrants placed there by Assyrian kings and later rulers. Their religion was the old Babylonian religion, but much mixed with elements adopted from the neighboring Jews. Of all the Gentiles, the Samaritans would seem to have been the most prepared to accept the religion of the New Testament.
Simon, the chief in the Samaritan religion, was among those who listened to Philip. Who he was and what part he played in Church history will be made plain later.
5. What did the Apostles do when they realized Christ was calling Samaritans? Acts 8:14.
6. Had David sung of the day the gospel would go to Gentiles? Ps. 96:1, 3, 10. And did the prophets predict it? Isa. 11:10. Note that the Greeks were true Gentiles. The Samaritans were already partly mixed with Jewish renegades and also had circumcision and a perverted form of the law of Moses.
7. Did Peter still have to be shown at the time of Cornelius' conversion that all peoples could really become one in Christ? Acts 10:28, 34. Did God then use Peter to officially inaugurate salvation to the Gentiles, with the same special "one-time-only" manifestations of the Holy Spirit as when first it was confirmed for the Jews? Compare Acts 10:44-47 with 2:1-4.
COMMENT: Some today falsely claim Peter was still so completely a Jew in his outlook, that he led a so-called "Judaizing party" within the Church. This is a lie! The proof lies overlooked here in Acts 11:6.
Peter was staying at the house of one Simon A TANNER. Under Jewish ceremonial law, a tanner, by virtue of his occupation -- tanning the raw hides of dead animals -- was considered unclean. Had Peter been the thorough-going Judaizer some claim him to be, he would certainly have lodged elsewhere!
Here is proof Peter knew and practiced the same freedom from CEREMONIAL prohibitions as did Paul (Col. 2:20, 21).
A little later we find Peter freely living and eating with Gentiles -- whose very persons were "unclean" and contaminating in Pharisaic doctrine. He mistakenly withdrew only when others arrived for fear THEY might not yet understand (Gal. 2:12).
8. Meanwhile, did Philip continue to preach the gospel to other Gentiles who had been prepared by previous conversion from heathenism to the Jewish religion? Acts 8:26, 27, 40.
COMMENT: Azotus is the city of Ashdod -- one of the five ancient royal cities of the Philistines.
9. Does this mean that Christianity is, or ever could become, a Gentile religion? John 4:22; Rom. 9:4, 5; Mat. 10:5, 6.
1. Had Jesus forewarned that His followers would be put out of the synagogues? John 16:2. That whoever would kill them would think he was serving God? Same verse. Did this begin to come true in the persecution by Saul (afterward called Paul)? Acts 8:3; 26:9-11; I Tim. 1:13.
COMMENT: The earliest Christians -- almost all Jewish -- continued to meet in the synagogues. They regarded Christianity truly, as the fulfillment of the Old Testament religion. At first the majority of unconverted Jews listened without rancour -- until the Pharisees stirred them up. Notice how in later times Paul always went and preached first in the synagogues and places of prayer of the Jews, and preached there until persecution drove him out (Acts 13:5, 14; 14:1; 16:13, etc.).
2. Did Jesus Christ strike Saul down and convert him? Read the whole of chapter 9 and the first part of chapter 22.
COMMENT: Paul's conversion brought into the Church a man of great zeal, and the best of education. He had been trained "at the feet of Gamaliel" who was regarded as the greatest Jewish teacher of the day.
3. Did Jesus Christ call Paul for a particular mission? Acts 9:15; 26:16; Rom. 11:13.
COMMENT: Note that Christ called Paul or Saul to be a special "apostle to the GENTILES." But he was also chosen to aid in the MAJOR mission of the Church, too, that of reaching the House of Israel. Notice it carefully in Acts 9:15.
Years later, tradition states, after preaching all over the Greek-speaking world (Rom. 15:19) and after going to Spain (verse 28) Paul went on even into Britain.
4. Did the other apostles recognize Paul's special responsibility of going to the Gentiles? Gal. 2:8, 9. But did Paul and Barnabas always go first to the Jews (the only Israelites in that area)? Rom. 1:16; 2:9, 10; Acts 13:42-48.
COMMENT: Paul and Barnabas always went to the larger cities in the Gentile areas. Here they expected to find significant numbers of Jews. Many such cities boasted a synagogue and an organized congregation.
Being of equal rank, when Paul and Barnabas found themselves in disagreement as to how best to prosecute the work in their area, they separated (Acts 15:36-41). Barnabas then continued his work to the Gentiles in the area of Cyprus and Egypt. Of his later work we hear next to nothing. Probably not a great many Gentile converts were made in those areas. And there is a reason!
Why did Paul's work prosper in Greece while Barnabas' work in Egypt did not?
The answer to that question lies in the nature of the special purpose Christ was working out through Paul. What was that PURPOSE?
Jesus Christ knew the days His gospel would have free course within the Roman Empire were limited. The True Church would soon be expelled. For long ages, it would have to exist beyond the reach of the long arm of the Roman government. To enable that Church to read His Word, something would have to be provided to preserve it.
That was a people to preserve in the Roman world the New Testament THROUGH those difficult times! That people would be GREEK.
They had to be people not to be persecuted from place to place, but remaining in their homeland, their possessions -- including the New Testament -- relatively safe from destruction. Unlike God's Church, they must be a part of this world, yet with "Christian" background and tradition. Not being themselves CONVERTED, they must nevertheless cherish and take pride in the original Greek New Testament.
Their mission would be to treasure, preserve and copy the Scripture message -- word for word and letter by letter -- through the long dark night of the Middle Ages. It was NOT essential that they believe it.
All this Jesus Christ knew, and prepared for, when He began by the Apostle Paul what was to be essentially a ONE-GENERATION work in the Greek world.
Jesus Christ knew the false church, then arising, would be centered in Egypt and Rome.
Hundreds of corrupt Egyptian and "Western" (Roman-influenced) manuscripts prove Jesus was right. And even THOSE were kept hidden lest people should read them!
THAT is why Paul was sent to the Greek Gentiles. That is why thousands of Greeks were converted, many congregations established. Paul knew the Greek nation could not long remain faithful (Acts 20:29). With the great falling away (II Thes. 2:3), these congregations would be taken over by that great false church which was even then at work (verse 7) through men masquerading as Jesus' apostles (II Cor. 11:13-15). But the Greeks would still preserve the true inspired Greek New Testament.
Paul's later work in Spain was no more prosperous or permanent than Barnabas' in Africa or the other apostles'. That is why Paul did not stay long in Spain.
Because we possess much more knowledge of the travels of Paul, the world today seems to think Paul was much greater than the other apostles. This is not the point. It was only because of his special commission -- to teach the Greeks and to have much of the gospel preserved in their language through his own epistles -- that Paul supersedes and overshadows all the rest. The "false apostles" of those days forged writings in the names of Peter and the others as well as in Paul's.
5. Did "many thousands" -- probably the majority -- of the members of the Church continue to be Jewish? Acts 21:20. This was now about 30 years after the Church began. Were many of them former Pharisees? Acts 15:5; 26:5.
We saw how all the early lay members of the Church were scattered from Jerusalem. But what of the apostles?
1. What was the main commission given to the Twelve? Were they called specifically to go to the "lost sheep of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL? Mat. 10:2-6. But to do this they would have to leave Palestine! Only the Jews -- HOUSE OF JUDAH -- had returned to Palestine from captivity.
2. Whom did Paul find left in Jerusalem about 38 A.D.? Gal. 1:18, 19.
COMMENT: Of the original Twelve, only Peter was there! The James mentioned here is the "Lord's (half-)brother," also mentioned in Mat. 13:55. He was not one of the original Twelve, although he had become an apostle. As late as the last six months of Jesus' life, James did not believe in Him (John 7:5-8).
3. When King Herod, about A.D. 42, martyred James, the brother of John, whom else did he find in Jerusalem? Acts 12:1-3.
COMMENT: Peter was there. But the rest were long gone! Note that it was the season for the Days of Unleavened Bread. This probably accounts for the temporary presence of James.
4. When Paul again went up to Jerusalem in A.D. 49, whom did he find? Gal. 2:9.
COMMENT: Again, PETER (Cephas), James (the Lord's brother) -- and John. Now it was John who was temporarily at headquarters in Jerusalem.
It is evident that most of the apostles had designated responsibilities elsewhere, which were occasionally interrupted either by trips to or temporary tours of duty at headquarters. Peter was most often at Jerusalem after the first 12 years in which the Syro-Palestinean area had been thoroughly covered. But this does not mean that Peter settled back on an ecclesiastical throne and never left the city. Notice!
5. We have already noted Peter journeying to Samaria, Joppa, and other places around Palestine. Where else does the Bible show Peter traveled? Gal. 2:11. Then isn't it evident that part of Peter's job among the Twelve was to travel around and to coordinate the Work of the Church to the House of Israel and the Jews in the Near East?
6. On Peter's first trip, did John accompany him? Acts 8:14. Did the Church usually send out men by twos? Luke 10:1; Acts 15:39. Jesus Christ from the beginning designed John to be the one to supervise the whole Church after all the other apostles were dead (John 21:22-23).
COMMENT: This does NOT mean that Peter, or John, was ever the Head of the Church or in a pontifical office over the other apostles. Notice! Peter and John were SENT by the apostles collectively under Christ's inspiration.
Nor was Peter at ROME! It was another Simon, also called a Peter, who went to Rome. (See Mr. Armstrong's account of this Simon in "God Speaks Out on the New Morality".) Rome, basically, was not a Christian headquarters at all! When Paul wrote to the Romans -- in about 56 A.D. -- was there even an organized congregation there to which to write? Rom. 1:7. There was none! As late as 56 A.D.!
COMMENT: The Apostle PETER was not there. Paul devotes a whole chapter to personal greetings to individuals (chapter 16) yet never once mentions Peter. What a slap in the face that would be if Peter were there!
Yet some today claim a "Peter" arrived in Rome in 45 A.D.! But THAT Peter was not the apostle whom Jesus baptized.
7. Somewhat later, when Paul in person arrived in Rome, did he call a CHURCH congregation to him, or were there only unconverted Jews to whom he could preach? Acts 28:17.
COMMENT: There were SCATTERED Christians in south Italy (verse 14) as well as in Rome, but at the time no organized congregations in either area, outside of family worship in private homes.
8. As late as Paul's SECOND imprisonment in Rome, were there only three other TRUE ministers there? Col. 4:10-11. But were there false ministers PRETENDING to be on Paul's team? Phil. 1:15; 2:20-21.
9. One more mention of Peter requires our notice. Where was Peter, much later, after persecution and Roman-Jewish strife had virtually ended the Work in the Palestine area? I Peter 5:13. NOT at Rome. But at Babylon on the Euphrates! Where thousands of Jews still lived, descended from those anciently carried there captive by Nebuchadnezzar.
Most of the "lost sheep of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL" were not in Palestine. Not since the ancient Assyrians had deported them. Where WERE they? Let us notice WHERE THE APOSTLES WENT.
1. As a headquarters apostle, Peter had also a certain responsibility toward the whole Church. In fulfilling this overall responsibility, did he write two epistles to congregations abroad? I and II Peter. To whom did he address the first epistle? I Peter 1:1.
COMMENT: These provinces were in northern and central Asia Minor (Turkey of today) along the southern shores of the Black Sea. They were non-Greek areas. The Galatia here mentioned is NORTHERN Galatia, not the southern Galatia PAUL visited and to which he wrote the Epistle to the Galatians. Archaeology has proven northern Galatia was non-Greek in language and culture.
Who lived in these provinces? Peter writes to people called "strangers" scattered throughout that land. It was not their homeland, then. Now compare I Peter 2:10 with Hosea 1:10-2:1. Clearly both references are speaking of the same people -- Israel! In Peter's day this region was a chief dwelling place of the "lost" tribes of Israel -- brother tribes to the Jews who were the tribe of Judah.
Peter not only wrote to these people from Babylon, he visited them in person. As overall coordinator of the Church, he met and conferred with his brother Andrew there.
This region was greatly affected by the teaching of the apostles. And the effect remained for at least 2 generations. About 112 A.D., Pliny the Younger, governor of Bithynia, wrote to Roman Emperor Trajan that the temples of the old gods were almost forsaken and that Christians were everywhere a multitude!
2. Did James, the Lord's brother -- another headquarters apostle -- also write an epistle to all the twelve tribes -- WHEREVER they were SCATTERED? James 1:1. Shortly after he wrote this epistle, James was slain -- martyred -- at the Temple in Jerusalem, about 62 A.D.
COMMENT: In addition to those in Bithynia and nearby, other Israelites were widely dispersed on three continents. But already, a major homeland was Britain. Here Peter next turned his steps. We are told that he spent MUCH TIME in Britain!
We do not know exactly when Peter died -- probably before 69 A.D. But in 80 or 81 A.D. Anacletus, Roman Pope, consecrated a tomb for "Peter" at Rome. Whoever was really buried there, this proves that the real apostle Peter was no longer alive -- had indeed been gone for some time -- or the fraud would soon have been exposed.
After Peter's death, the supervision of the whole Church under Christ was given to John, the last of the three "pillars" of headquarters (Gal. 2:9). He too wrote General Epistles to the Church at large -- I, II and III John -- and the Book of Revelation.
Such scanty information as we possess suggests that John only returned to the region of the eastern Mediterranean after many years absence. We hear nothing of him between the 40's and the 90's A.D. He may have been in Gaul, where French tradition declares Mary came (see John 19:26-27).
History tells us Peter's brother Andrew had the primary charge of the northern Asia Minor area to which Peter wrote. Andrew went all around the eastern and northeastern coasts of the Black Sea as far as the Crimea. Philip too worked in these areas, and far into Scythia.
Another apostle Philip is often confused with the first. Sometimes he is called an evangelist. We first meet this very zealous man as a deacon in Acts 6:5. He labored among the Grecian population on both sides of the Aegean Sea and in Gaul.
Bartholomew (Nathaniel) worked among Israelites then living in Cilicia, Armenia and beyond the Caspian. Thomas likewise went to those who still lived in the vast areas of the Iranian plateau. The northeastern part of this region was often called India in ancient times. Matthew (Levi) reached many in Scythia, on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, and in "Ethiopia" (an area of dark-skinned people in India). Thaddeus Lebbeus ministered in upper Mesopotamia, including Assyria proper.
Farther west, Matthias' sphere was Macedonia, Dacia -- modern Romania -- and areas in central Europe. Still farther, James of Alphaeus is said to have gone to Spain, Britain and Ireland, while Simon the Zealot was in North Africa, in Britain and other islands.
Did you notice how many reached Britain? If you would like to know more about the later life and work of the apostles who so strangely disappear from the New Testament account, write for the free article "Where Did the Twelve Apostles Go?"
When the gospel first reached each new region, there were those God had prepared to receive it. Church growth was spectacular. Soon, however, the first rush was over. Real conversions now came much more slowly, as the number of Christians in relation to the population of each region tended to reach its "saturation point."
And now, side by side with success and growth, came increasing persecution.
Nero, mad Roman Emperor, initiated the first GOVERNMENT persecution in A.D. 64. A disastrous fire had destroyed a large part of the capital city. It was whispered that Nero himself had set it, to clear away the slums that cheapened the view from his palace, and that he had celebrated by fiddling while Rome burned. To clear himself -- and safeguard his position -- Nero accused Christians.
Some were martyred by lingering torture, other by exposure to wild beasts in the arena. THE INFANT CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION AT ROME WAS VIRTUALLY DESTROYED.
Nero's government had, in A.D. 61, released the apostle Paul after two years at Rome. (Two years was the maximum imprisonment prescribed by a Roman "statute of limitations" since in the meantime no accusers had appeared against him -- Acts 28:30, 31.) Now Paul was seized again (II Tim. 4:13), spoke personally before Nero himself, and in A.D. 68 was beheaded.
Meanwhile, in Judea the unconverted Jewish nation had risen in rebellion to drive out the Romans from Palestine. A Roman army under General Cestius came in sight of the walls of Jerusalem in A.D. 66. Had he only known it, the rebels were beaten. But SOMETHING held him back! The rebels took heart. His chance was past.
But God's headquarters Church was still in danger -- in the doomed and besieged city! Nero had tended to favor the Jews because of his Jewish mistress. He died in 68 -- shortly after Paul. General Vespasian now commanded the Roman army and moved energetically to crush the rebellion.
Was the living, active Jesus Christ on the job? Yes! A stronger hand than all the might of Rome would make the next move!
The new Emperor died suddenly. Leaving the army in Palestine to his son, Vespasian raced for Rome to be emperor. Again, the Roman armies temporarily withdrew!
And in Jerusalem, as God's people were gathered at the Feast of Pentecost, there was an earthquake, accompanied with a great noise, and a supernatural voice was heard to say in the Temple: "LET US REMOVE HENCE!"
God's people did "remove hence!" The Church fled to the mountains, and on to Pella, a small town just beyond the River Jordan. Behind them the Roman armies closed in rapidly on Jerusalem. The Jews were STARVED into submission. Jerusalem fell after HORRIBLE SUFFERING. The Temple of God was razed to the ground!
And the Church of God everywhere in Roman lands was silenced. No meetings were allowed after A.D. 69 out of fear of revolt after the death of two Caesars already that year.
Thus ended, after just two 19-year cycles, the work of the Apostolic Church in Jerusalem!
The Pella congregation still called itself the Jerusalem church. Its chief elder was still pastor of "Jerusalem."
In the first 38 years, as congregations and conversions multiplied, the distant churches had very frequently appealed to the authority of the mother church in Jerusalem. But now a period of declining zeal set in for the whole Church.
This condition was foretold in the prophetic messages to the seven churches (Rev. 2 and 3).
1. Did Jesus Christ highly commend the first era of the Church for its labor and patience and goodness? Rev. 2:2, 3. Did He state it had EARLY to face false apostles -- men seeking to build up a following for themselves, whom Jesus Christ had not ordained? Same verse. Who were these people whom the True Church "canst not bear"? Verse 6.
2. But did He also have something against this church era? What is it? Verse 4. What did Christ threaten to do if this church did not awaken from its lethargy? Verse 5 compared with chapter 1, verse 20.
COMMENT: He would REMOVE IT OUT OF ITS PLACE! This was done physically, in type -- even before the prophecy was written, when the Jerusalem headquarters church was transferred to Pella. It was done spiritually when the authority and respect in which this mother church had been held was stripped from it in A.D. 135 after a second Jewish War with Rome.
At the time John penned these words, Jesus Christ already knew the performance record of the church at Ephesus. That church congregation was a type of the entire church in apostolic times. The Ephesus Church had let down. It had not continued its work after A.D. 69 to all nations (Mat. 28:19).
3. Did the apostle Paul before A.D. 68 find it necessary to warn even some ministers to be more diligent? Col. 4:17. Was even the Evangelist Timothy, his most faithful helper, in need of being stirred up? II Tim. 1:6, compared with Philippians 2:19-20.
COMMENT: The Church and most of its ministers seem to have acquired "lazy bones." Perhaps it was because they had decided Christ's return was not imminent (Mat. 24:48). Are you making the same mistake?
4. Was there an early SECONDARY headquarters of the Ephesian era? Acts 11:26. See following COMMENT.
COMMENT: The earliest large, predominantly Gentile congregation of the Church was at Antioch. Barnabas was sent there to be its first minister (Acts 11:22). However, trouble soon arose. Eusebius' "Chronicle" gives PETER the credit for "establishing" it in A.D. 42. Another account tells WHY -- he went there to withstand Simon Magus!
Antioch became a secondary headquarters because it was equally accessible from Pontus and Syria, as well as from the Greek-speaking area in western Asia Minor. Here was the major Gentile center for the Feast of Tabernacles (Gal. 2:12-14). Paul, Barnabas and other leaders continued to work in Gentile lands from a headquarters in Antioch.
Even long after apostolic days, Antioch remained a chief center. It was one of the 5 seats of Patriarchs (great fathers, or 'papas') in the false church that Constantine organized as a state church.
5. But where was Paul's LATER headquarters? Acts 19:1, 10. Did he return there once more after his trip to Spain and Britain? I Tim. 1:3.
COMMENT: Ephesus was the later headquarters of the Ephesian era, to which it gave its name. It was more than coincidence that Christ chose Ephesus to represent the first organization of the Church!
John, last survivor of the original twelve apostles, and the Philip who had originally been a deacon, both died in Ephesus. (The original Apostle Philip, one of the Twelve, was buried at Hierapolis of Phrygia, according to Polycrates.)
About A.D. 90, Emperor Domitian began the second imperial persecution. John was imprisoned on the isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea where he received the Revelation and the command to write it down. Probably the reason Christ allowed John to be imprisoned was to give him the leisure to write the remaining greatly needed parts of the New Testament.
But like Nero's persecution, Domitian's was local and spasmodic. MOST OF THE SLAIN WERE IN ITALY AND IN ROME ITSELF. Once again, TRUE Christianity, IF ANY, was driven from Rome.
At Patmos the apostle John was finally released. Again at Ephesus he trained Polycarp who later carried forward the work of John and Philip. Polycarp and Polycrates are the last leaders of the Church in this part of the world of which we have any record.
6. What had previously happened in Ephesus, when once the strong hand of Paul was removed? Acts 20:30; I Tim. 1:3; II Tim. 1:15.
COMMENT: Ephesus and all the local congregations in the surrounding Roman province of Asia, were soon turned against Paul personally, by false teachers and disloyal elders who sought power and prestige for themselves. Many of these detached groups were permanently drawn away from the True Church. Ultimately, the "mystery of iniquity" already in operation long before (II Thes. 2:7), gathered them all in by posing as the universal mother church of Christianity!
Jesus Christ ALLOWED this -- because Ephesus left its first love. Fully ABLE to protect His own, He LET the wolves devour these who had become lukewarm. It happened in Pella as well, as we will shortly see.
7. This is why John, years later, wrote the way he did! Compare I John 2:19, 20, 26; 4:1; III John 9, 10.
COMMENT: Even the literal CITY of Ephesus suffered the stern sentence of the living Christ. "If you will not repent, I will move your candlestick out of its place." In later years, the site was completely deserted. The population moved to a higher location more than a mile to the northeast, which is today call Ayassoluk. That name itself is nothing more than a corruption of the Greek words for "St. John, spokesman for God"!
It stands thus attested -- in prophecy fulfilled -- that John DID speak for God!
At neighboring Smyrna, Polycarp presided over the Church for half a century after John's death. Polycarp stood up boldly for the truth, though by this time the True Church in his area had dwindled to almost nothing. History relates that, following the example of Peter, Paul, and John, he wrote many letters to congregations and individuals, though all these have perished, save one doubtful exception.
In old age -- he was about 85 -- Polycarp journeyed to Rome. His mission was not a success. The bishop of Rome, Anicetus, observed Easter. Nor would he be converted, nor observe GOD'S Passover.
The following year (155 A.D.) Polycarp was burnt to death by a mob in Smyrna.
The name Smyrna means BITTER. And BITTER, indeed, was the era of the Church that it symbolizes! In the words of the Encyclopaedia Britannica:
"The steady progress of the heretical movement in spite of all opposition was a cause of deep sorrow to Polycarp, so that in the last years of his life the words were constantly on his lips,
'Oh good God, to what times hast thou spared me, that I must suffer (tolerate) such things!"'
Such things as Anicetus -- who claimed he was human head of the Catholic Church of God -- and pagan Easter, being observed all over in churches claiming to be "Christian." These Polycarp HAD to allow. For, indeed, there was nothing he could do to stop it. Perhaps even he did not see CLEARLY that this apostacy was never part of the True Church -- but was a conspiracy that wormed its way into the local congregations to gain a following after itself.
The struggle -- over observing Satan's days instead of God's -- yet dragged on though Polycarp was dead. Now, it was Polycrates of Ephesus resisting pagan presences of Victor at Rome (190-198). But to no avail. Victor not only pretended his vast Easter-keeping organization was Christ's Church but arrogated to himself authority to "excommunicate" those who in Asia still kept the Passover.
With this generation the True Church in the Greek-speaking world had virtually DISAPPEARED. With Polycrates, its last candle flickered out. The Synagogue of Satan was now triumphant in the world.
1. Few understand the real origin of the Synagogue of Satan. Is salvation OF (beginning with and proceeding FROM) the Jews? John 4:22. Was there a people (and religion) which from Old Testament times had claimed to be Jews and were not? Verse 12.
COMMENT: Josephus, the Jewish historian, reports the Samaritans always pretended to be Jews when it favored them. Read the origin of the Babylonian Samaritans and their hybrid pagan religion in II Kings 17:18-33. They brought the worship of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar or Easter (Succoth-benoth) with them. From these Samaritans, under Simon Magus' leadership -- HE was the false Peter of Rome -- sprang the false church or Synagogue of Satan that triumphed in the world (Acts 8:9-11, 21-23). For fuller information, write for our free reprint, "What is the Synagogue of Satan?"
2. Does the sure finger of God's Word point out the identity of the adversary of God's Church during the Smyrna era? Rev. 2:9.
COMMENT: Space will not permit complete revelation of the origin and development of the false church in this Lesson. That will follow later.
We have traced the progress and decay of the Church in the Greek-speaking Roman province of Asia, where the original "seven churches" were located. We have seen also the later complete fade-out of the Smyrna era in this region. But we are ahead of our story. We must return to the predominantly Jewish Church in Palestine and Syria.
1. In the time of the first Apostles, did the world regard the True Church as only a "sect"? Acts 24:5. Did it also nickname them "Nazarenes"? Same verse.
2. How does Jesus Christ characterize the second era of His Church? Were they "poor" in the eyes of the world -- but actually RICH? Rev. 2:9. WHY were they rich? Verses 8, 10. Wasn't it because the LIVING Jesus Christ continued to guide and empower them -- to prevent HIS Church from turning aside to false doctrine? Mat. 28:19.
COMMENT: The WORLD now called these people "Ebionites," which means "paupers" -- "poor, destitute"! This small Church was despised and rejected by the world and the religious organizations of the day. And no wonder! Even the apostle Paul admitted he was called a HERETIC -- that's how the world viewed it! See Acts 24:14.
Instead of being any longer a part of the apostolic "Ephesus" era, the time had come when Jew as well as Greek composed the "Smyrna" era -- or "poor people" or Ebionites.
Here's how it had come to pass.
After the martyrdom of James the brother of Jesus, Simeon son of Cleopas (Luke 24:18; John 19:25) became presiding elder in the Headquarters congregation. Through the declining years of the Ephesian era, Simeon, like John, lived on and on, as if he would live forever. Finally, in 107 A.D. in the reign of the Emperor Trajan, at a reported age of a hundred and twenty years, Simeon was crucified.
Thirteen more "bishops" -- all circumcised Jews -- ruled the Jerusalem-Pella church in rapid succession. Then, about A.D. 135, came Jesus Christ's time to separate a living "Smyrna" remnant from among the lukewarm and unspiritual who clung to it.
The stubborn Palestinian Jews had revolted in 132 for the third time. The exasperated Romans this time completely destroyed the city of Jerusalem. They then founded a new Roman colony, of Gentiles only, on the site, renamed 'Aelia Capitolina'. Jews were forbidden to approach it. This included, of course, Christian Jews of Pella.
And now was shown just how worldly and spiritually drowsy that church had become. Most of the Pella congregation rejected God's method of government and ELECTED to themselves (II Tim. 4:3) a Gentile -- Marcus -- to be their leader. Thus the majority found means to return to Jerusalem. There they became part of that other religious organization which tried to be at the same time both Jewish and Gentile (Rev. 2:9).
Marcus proceeded to declare disfellowshipped those few who remained faithful to the true doctrine and to Jesus Christ! The Smyrna Era now began.
3. Had the Apostle Paul prophesied this? II Tim. 4:3-4
4. Was this same thing happening -- even earlier -- among the Greek congregations? III John 9, 10.
5. Does Jude mention that some -- even before the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem -- had begun to "separate themselves"? Jude 19. This was about A.D. 66. Within a few decades, only a remnant was left.
COMMENT: Hegesippus and Eusebius -- Greek writers -- tell us of faithful Zokker and James, grandsons of this Jude. As He often does, Jesus was still ruling His Church and working through members of the same family.
In the reign of Domitian, Zokker and James were called before the Roman governor, interrogated and contemptuously dismissed -- being deemed unworthy of further notice. Yes, the world now viewed the faithful few with contempt.
It was with contempt that the faithful few -- truly a "little flock" -- were called Ebionites or "paupers" in reference to their supposed unbelievable stupidity or naivete IN believing the Bible. They clung to the Law of God! The world has nothing in common with anyone who believes in obeying God. The world calls that STUPID!
The large PROFESSING Christian church, founded by Simon Magus, now branded them "heretics." Even the name "Nazarene" was considered too honorable for them now!
They still kept their headquarters at Pella, and spread themselves into villages near Damascus. There is also record of a small congregation in Boerea, now called Aleppo. Traces of Ebionites may be discovered here as late as the 4th century.
Among the people east of Jordan, Ebionite VIEWS lingered until the Islamic conquest in the 7th century.
But that's again getting ahead of the story. Hegesippus, afterward a famous Catholic, was once an Ebionite. He copied the example of Marcus. Hegesippus yearned to follow the crowd. So, determined to find the majority right, he convinced himself by finding throughout the Empire in every city the same (false) doctrines taught and mislabeled "Christian." He it was who originally drew up the list of Roman bishops, on which Anicetus and his successors -- down to the Pope today -- based their claim to be the successors of a Peter.
Eusebius, whose chief theme was to justify and eulogize Emperor Constantine and the church of Constantine's choice, copied much of his information about the early True Church from Hegesippus, not really telling the true story of either.
We know but little of Ebionite history. Because their own writings have perished, our information must come from their enemies. And here, clearly, truth is well-tempered with lies!
Eusebius claims they rejected the virgin birth and pre-existence of Christ, and the writings of Paul. But this was not true of all. The next age of God's True Church -- revived in the place where migrating Ebionites disappear -- accepted these truths! Their very distinguishing name became PAULician!
It was the elaborate theology of Catholicism and Gnosticism which most "Ebionites" rejected! The interminable ARGUMENTS whether God is one Person or three -- whether Jesus Christ was God OR man (He was both -- God in the Flesh)! And a false version of "Pauline" theology which claims the Law was abolished! (Using Paul's name to put over false doctrine began early -- II Thes. 2:2.)
A rigid splinter group, also called Ebionite, WAS indeed antagonistic to Paul. It was composed of carnal-minded Jews who could plainly perceive Jesus was no ordinary man. But they could never forgive Paul for having put GENTILES on the level of JEWS by offering them salvation. Irenaeus (about A.D. 180, in the area of modern France) wrote they used only the Gospel of Matthew.
A third group labeled "Ebionites" had accepted some Gnostic doctrines. As the second century ended a considerable number had exchanged the simple creed of Jesus Christ for a strange blend of Christianity and Essenism. Some of these became Elchasaites, so called after their leader, a false prophet led astray by demon visions. About A.D. 220. Alciabides propagated their false doctrine at Rome. Quite possibly this was the real origin of the "pseudo-Clementine" HOMILIES (composed about 170 A.D.) and RECOGNITIONS -- (WRITTEN later, but based on the former) -- whose perverted ramblings betray knowledge that Simon Magus, NOT Simon Peter, founded a church at Rome! All these were carnal-minded sects labeled by the same name in church history as God's church.
In every age the Church has its unconverted "members." But there were a few faithful, who really constituted the Church.
About 200 A.D. an Ebionite from Ephesus, named Theodotion, revised earlier translations of the Old Testament into GREEK. His translation of Daniel gained universal acceptance in place of the poorly done original Septuagint version.
A little later another Ebionite, Symmachus, also made a Greek translation of the Old Testament. His was probably the most readable -- yet faithful -- such translation ever made. Symmachus is also noted for his Commentaries on various Old Testament books.

Many parents who are seeking quality in education consider independent Christian schools. They understand the benefits of smaller classes, excellent teaching, Christian values, and a real sense of community. In many instances the only obstacle they see is the cost. Petra Academy recognizes the sacrifices parents make when they enroll their student(s) in an independent school and wants to provide them access to this education as financial resources allow.
Thanks to the generosity of others, 23% of Petra students receive some kind of financial assistance. We are committed to offering a classical Christian education to all qualified applicants based solely on demonstrated economic need. We do not offer merit, athletic, or special acheivement scholarships and expect a family to take primary responsibility for the cost of their student's education.
Families who attend Petra Academy may be eligible to apply for two different forms of tuition help:
Petra Scholarship
Petra scholarships are offered to families who demonstrate financial need. Our Petra Board of Directors allocates funds and utilizes FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) to provide third-party assessment of financial need. To apply for a Petra Scholarship, please complete the application (FAST charges $43 for processing your application; the application fee is non-refundable and payable by MasterCard, Visa, or American Express). Petra scholarships provide no more than 50% of total tuition costs (after registration, violin and book fees are paid) and requires submission of supporting financial documentation, as scholarships are award based on financial need and board approval.
ACE Scholarship
Petra Academy partners with ACE (Alliance for Choice in Education) Scholarships, a financial-aid school choice program founded in 2000 to provide equal access to quality schools for low-income children. ACE seeks to have a direct impact in the lives of children from low-income families in Montana by providing scholarships to the private school of their choice. ACE has awarded up to 14 scholarships annually to students at Petra since 2012.
ACE is an independent organization that provides partial tuition scholarships of $2,000 for grades K-8 and $3,000 for 9-12.

The application window to submit an ACE application is March 15 to April 15.
The recent passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts has expanded the use of 529 plans – accounts that allow savers to accumulate money and pay for college on a tax-free basis – to include elementary and secondary school expenses at public, private, or religious institutions. That means individuals can take up to $10,000 in distributions annually from their 529 plans to pay for private school tuition and books through 12th grade – in addition to using their account proceeds for college costs. For more information, visit 529 Central at the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) website.

At 10:31pm PST on December 17th, 2017 we are offered a New Moon in mutable fire sign, Sagittarius.
What is a New Moon?
A New Moon occurs when the Moon slides in-between the Sun and Earth and is casted in shadow, the Moon's face hidden from view.
What does the New Moon represent?
The New Moon is the first phase in the Lunar Cycle. As this phase ushers in a new cycle, it also ushers in fresh energy for us to work through challenges old and new.
How can I work with the New Moon?
Acknowledging and honoring the darkness of the Moon as a time to clear out and re-asses better equips us to accept new opportunities with open arms. When we can acknowledge what needs to be changed or emptied we can refill according to what makes us feel whole. Our decisions then can become products of deep self-awareness instead of anxiety or fear.
What does this particular New Moon have to offer?
The New Moon in Sagittarius is the last moon of the year. It is visionary and potent and spirited.
This New Moon is also flanked on either side by Venus, planet of love and relationship and by Saturn, lord of discipline and duty. The culminating energy of this dynamic collection of cosmic bodies is representative of our need for balance. Sagittarius is a wanderer, a lover of culture, adventure and philosophy. To invest in these loves is to be able to balance relationship and connection with study and diligent dedication.
2017 has been an intense year. To finish it out with such a decisive and fiery New Moon is to pay homage to all we have fought for and won and to acknowledge and honor all that we have lost, collectively and personally.
This New Moon, carve out a space for solitude and reflection. Write about your year and all that you have learned about yourself and the world. With that knowledge, create a plan for the future the incorporates those lessons and invites space to learn new ones. And, most importantly, reflect on fear and its relationship to all of your success and downfall from 2017.
Sagittarius is often considered fearless and boundless but not for the obvious reasons. This reputation comes from this fire sign's ability to accept and embrace fear as a factor of taking risk. It recognizes fear as our body's fight response towards situations that are so important to us that our body becomes tricked into thinking our physical safety is threatened. In 2018, commit to acknowledging fear as a crucial part of the process of success. Learn to both face it and bring it with you on your journey as a measure of your fervor and bravery. Know that you have already won by making it this far and then commit to a new plot for your next victory.

11:30am ET, live in the US on NBC Sports
Last four head-to-head:
4-2 Liverpool (a) 10.29.16
2-1 Liverpool (a) 03.06.16
2-1 Palace (h) 11.08.15
3-1 Palace (h) 05.16.15
Last three matches:
Liverpool: 1-0 West Brom (a); 2-1 Stoke (a); 2-2 Bournemouth (a)
Palace: 2-2 Leicester (h); 3-0 Arsenal (h); 1-3 Southampton (a)
Goalscorers (league):
Liverpool: Mané 13; Firmino 11; Coutinho 9; Lallana, Milner 7; Origi 6; Wijnaldum 5; Can 4; Lovren, Sturridge 2; Henderson, Matip 1
Palace: Benteke 12; Zaha 6; McArthur 5; Cabaye 4; Dann, Tomkins, Townsend 3; Wickham 2; Campbell, Ledley, Milivojevic, van Aanholt 1
Referee: Andre Marriner (LFC History) (WhoScored)
Guess at a line-up:
Clyne Gomez Lovren Milner
Wijnaldum Lucas Can
Firmino Origi Coutinho
This is the song that doesn't end. Yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
So, in addition to Mané, Henderson, Lallana, Ings, etc., Matip, Klavan, and Lucas are all questionable with minor muscle injuries. That's two center-backs (two-and-a-half if we're being generous), three central midfielders, a would-have-been-helpful back-up striker, and Liverpool's best attacker.
Fantastic. As if we needed more evidence that Liverpool's squad is insanely shallow.
I can't even really begin to guess how Liverpool would line-up with Lucas missing from a midfield already without Henderson and Lallana, hence the above predicted XI. 3-4-3, with just Wijnaldum and Can, would be an option if more center-backs were fit. Please no Milner in midfield, not after that first half at Stoke. Maybe 4-4-2 with both Sturridge and Origi up top? Maybe Coutinho drops into the three with Woodburn or Alexander-Arnold in attack? Alexander-Arnold has also played in central midfield for the u23s. Grujic could be an option, although I remain wary of a player who's barely featured all season, even if he's making the bench these days. Kevin Stewart hasn't even made the bench in almost two months, and hasn't played in a league match since September.
As for the center-backs, Matip's at least seemingly most likely of the doubtful. Which would be helpful. But Joe Gomez, even without almost any playing time with the first team due to another lengthy injury, might not be the worst idea given his strength and speed. There's a reasonable argument that he'd be far better suited to face Benteke than either Klavan or Lucas.
Crystal Palace are all but safe, seven points and substantial goal difference ahead of the relegation zone. That wasn't the case a little more than month ago, barely clinging onto 17th ahead of Hull and Boro, in the bottom three as recently as the end of February. But that's what happens when you win five of your last seven, including victories at Chelsea and against Arsenal. Allardyce will, of course, take full and total credit for their rejuvenation, but a center-back named Mamadou Sakho (*shrugs quizzically*) has been a key part – the winning streak beginning upon his entrance into the starting XI – and he's ineligible tomorrow. And they're also missing his back-up, Scott Dann, through injury.
Hennessey; Ward, Kelly, Tomkins, van Aanholt; Cabaye, Milivojevic; Zaha, Puncheon, Townsend; Benteke. Delaney could come into defense rather than Tomkins, Schlupp has been starting at left-back recently but van Aanholt's fit again, and Allardyce could try to pack the midfield with McArthur or Ledley rather than Puncheon or Townsend.
Because Crystal Palace will Allardyce. Strong in the center, no matter absentees, combative in midfield, fast on the flanks, counters and crosses. I am obviously most worried by the former Liverpool players involved, not only top scorer Christian Benteke – who LOVES playing against Liverpool – but even Martin Kelly, now (correctly) used more often at center-back. But Wilfried Zaha's become the centerpiece: still only 24, by far his best season return with six goals and nine assists, adding a definitive end product to his pace and dribbling. Zaha and Benteke on the counter should absolutely terrify Liverpool. They'd terrify a full-strength Liverpool.
The last time these sides met, albeit without Sam Allardyce involved, was just dumb. Palace only took seven shots but put six on-target, with Benteke responsible for three of them, scoring twice. Liverpool twice allowed equalizers barely minutes after taking the lead, the first of which came from a hilariously horrific defensive error, the second from a too-easy Zaha cross, both from headers.
But Liverpool were scoring for fun those days, unbeaten in ten going into that match, housing Watford 6-1 after that match. And Liverpool put two more past Palace after Palace had gotten back to 2-2. Liverpool are not scoring for fun these days, reliant on defense (?!?!?!?!) and doing *just enough* in attack for recent wins over West Brom and Stoke.
That's going to be a lot harder tomorrow with all the absentees. But Liverpool have no other choice at this stage of the season. Not with the incredibly tense and tight chase for fourth. Not with just five matches remaining.

This New Warcraft Movie Footage is Getting Us Pumped!
The epic movie based on Blizzard's amazing MMORPG game World of Warcraft (and some parts of its groundbreaking real-time strategy game Warcraft) was announced back in 2006. It was confirmed back then that it would be a partnership between Legendary Pictures and the game's developer Blizzard Entertainment. After years of speculation whether it will ever come out or if it was just a ruse, the filming finally began in 2014, and the film is set for release by Universal Pictures on June 10, 2016.
Now, months after the first trailer for the movie, we have been given another look at the universe, through an extended TV spot. This has only sparked more anticipation in fans for the movie to finally come out, after years of waiting. It includes a bunch of new footage, and the movie looks epic. Hopefully, they won't let us down.
First Trailer:
New Extended Spot:
The premise of the movie is as follows: The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home. So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.
Travis Fimmel (Vikings) will play the main role of Sir Anduin Lothar, the lead protagonist for the Alliance; Paula Patton (Déjà vu, Mirrors) is Garona Halforcen, a half human, half orc; Ben Foster (X-Men: The Last Stand) will play Medivh, the current Guardian of Tirisfal; Dominic Cooper (Dracula Untold) will take the role of King Llane Wrynn; and Toby Kebbel will play Durotan, the lead protagonist for the Horde.
The music will be composed by Game of Thrones' Ramin Djawadi.
This movie looks like a must-see if you are a fan of the game, a fantasy lover, or just looking for an epic Orc n' Human throwdown. And really, who isn't?

text: You find that people speak a second language with some kind of accent, heavy or light, that relects their native language. Many Indians, for example, speak English with a similar lilt. But some people are almost perfect, and actors can fake a different accent quite convincingly, presumably with considerable practice. So are accents just a result of the habits instilled in childhood, or are there physiological differences as well? Just curious.

too right, and check out the A27 by our house for the most ridiculous bike lane ever, anyone would think council's don't actually like cyclists
- 1 October 2015 at 05:45
- Steve-the-Wargamer said...
Or the A259 at Emsworth where the council has spent 12 weeks changing a perfectly good pavement into a cycle path no one in their right mind would use as it's only a 100 yards long and ends in a road junction! "Council road planners are not cyclists" - discuss.. ??
- 4 October 2015 at 10:43
I think the answer
Is that Councillors see it as their bounden duty to deliver cyclists as safely as possible to any road junction they can identify as particularly dangerous....
And be sure to abandon them in front of stampeding traffic
Works every time

Roca and Yann Arthus jointly show you the different Catalonia
June, 2016, Shanghai – the photographic exhibition of "Catalonia from above", created by famous European landscape photographer specialized in aerial photography, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is kicked off in Roca Shanghai Gallery. Roca Business Development &Digital Marketing Manager, Mr. Fernando, says, "the photographer has shown the beauty of architecture and design in this unique way, which happens to accord with Roca's brand spirit. We are more than glad to present these marvelous works to Chinese consumers."
Yann Arthus-Bertrand, who is now a famous landscape photographer specialized in aerial photography, once saw a different scene of our beautiful planet on a hot balloon by chance, and due to this discovery, he started his distinctive way of photographing. As early as 2006, Catalonia Tourism Board has reached him and proposed the idea of shooting a series of "Catalonia from above". With years of constant effort, the work came out in 2015 at last and held award-winning exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris and other capital cities in Europe.
This exhibition of "Catalonia from above" will be held in Roca Shanghai Gallery until June 30th. They are looking forward to your visit!
Roca Shanghai Gallery: No 396, Caoxi North Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai

I have some general goals for this year
to be more tolerant of Males with the remote controls........
they BOTH tend to hoard them
good thing I am not a big tv watcher anyway........I'd much rather sew
to pay it forward more
I have been very fortunate and need to remember that
even when I am kicking and complaining about something
Life has been good to me and I should appreciate that
and look at the positive
and I need to spend more time with family relaxing.......
just because.
do you have any goals for 2015?
Ours started out not nice with deaths in Jan and Feb
and it makes you think about life and how you are living it
I think it is Gods way of making us stay on the path

Patrick Gale
I have learnt so much from him yet his classes are fun aswell. He makes fun of people and sometimes even me but you know that means he cares. Top bloke.
this guy is the man, respects students gets it in return. seems to have a facination with islanders.
This man knows his stuff, if he's giving you a hard time it means he cares about your work, hes awesome when hes in a good mood but scary as hell when hes not
An honour to be in his class. Always forward thinking in his lessons and keeps up to date with technology and stuff. Same the rest of the school won't do that too!
good guy. definatly favours islanders, creates special bonds with them
Very down to earth. very demanding but in a good way and has a way with students. and an awesum hockey coach
Very good bloke. Don't yet understand why his daughter was at school today though, and he needs to stop sending us up the hills for hockey training. We didn't do it last year.
Great teacher although he give special treatment to polyesian students
Great teacher, knows what is going on and how to get the students to pass to their potential. A great teacher, one of the best i've ever had.
He used to be my geo teacher, and he was great! He communicates well to all students and being young can relate well to students. Go Patrick!

So I can now say that I made it to Torres del Paine. It has been on my to-do list since before I left the States, and it took me until the end of my year to get here, but I made it.
I was glad to have found a good deal for a full day tour: 15,000 pesos (about $30) not including lunch or the park entrance fees. Every other tour company wanted 20,000 pesos, or about $40.
As I waited for the tour van to show up, I chatted with a woman working at the hostel. When I showed her my ticket, she told me that the price was so low becuase it didn´t include a tour guide. The van then pulled up, and the driver confirmed that there was no guide for the tour I bought. I was pretty upset seeing that I specifically asked the woman who sold me the tour what was included and what was not included and she never brought it up, but at this point there wasn´t much that I could do. I could either take the tour and make the best of it or complain and not go on it and risk not getting my money back and lose the day. I decided to take the tour and make the best of it.
The park was actually about an hour from Puerto Natales, and then to get to the sights it´s about another hour after that. The first thing I noticed after the beauty of the moutainsand landscape was the extreme wind. It difficult to walk without losing your balance, and it must have gusted easily to 50 miles per hour.
Along the way we stopped to take some pictures, and we also came across some wildlife. Here are some guanacas (a type of llama), and we also came across a herd of cattle. We had to stop and wait for them to pass, and their incessant mooing was an interesting event I wasn´t expecting on the tour.
In the park we got to see mountains, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, and caves. The beauty of the area was amazing, and it was interesting to see such a mix of all these geographic features all in one area. I think the most surprising thing for me was seeing glaciers in the ocean and then seeing chunks of ice washed up along the shore. Some people decided to save some of the ice in plastic bags to bring back with them.
To get to the beach with the glaciers we had to cross a suspension bridge. At the start of the bridge there was a sign that I thought was pretty clear:
Yeah, that says that there is a maximum capacity of 6 people at a time on the bridge. It sways to the left and right based on the weight on each side and how people are stepping, and some people thought it would be fun to jump up and down on one side and then the other side. Others laughed at the 6 person maximum warning and stepped on the bridge behind me as the 7th and 8th people. On the way back for some reason people were carrying wheelbarrows with luggage and backpacks with them, and others carried suitcases over their head. They also proceeded without any hesitation across the bridge, going over the recommended limit. I made it across safely each way, but not without my heart skipping a beat a bit each time.
After that we also visited a cave called La Cueva del Milodón (The cave of the sloth). It reminded me of when I visited the caves of Nerja during my semester in Granada in 2004, along the Mediterranean Coast. The cave was open-air and absolutely huge. Stalagtites (or stalagmites, I´m not sure which) hung from the ceiling, and water dripped from some areas above slowly. The sloth used to live here until it was extinct 10,000 years ago.
I´ve spent the rest of my time here just exploring the town and drinking hot chocolate at various cafés to keep myself warm. Horseback riding tours here are ridiculously overpriced, as most places want $50 for a 3 hour tour. I also got some grilled lamb for dinner last night, and I also got a semblance of a bagel with it:
I´m not normally much of a bagel guy, but seeing something reminding me of home was a welcome sight.
Tomorrow I´m catching the early bus back to Punta Arenas, and I´ll have the whole day there before my fligh back to Santiago Tuesday morning. I´m hoping to get to see some penguins on a tour that is hopefully not overpriced, but we´ll see about that. And after that I will have 6 days until I fly back home.

Patient care conditions, diseases
Hepatitis C: Hepatitis C is a virus-caused liver inflammation which may cause jaundice, fever and cirrhosis. Persons who are most at risk for contracting and spreading hepatitis C are those who engage in unprotected sex with multiple partners and those who share needles for injecting drugs.
Symptoms: Many people who are infected with the hepatitis C do not have symptoms. Hepatitis C is often detected during blood tests for a routine physical or other medical procedure. The following symptoms could occur:
- jaundice
- abdominal pain (right upper abdomen)
- fatigue
- loss of appetite
- nausea and vomiting
- low-grade fever
- pale or clay-colored stools
- dark urine
- generalized itching
Treatment: Some patients with hepatitis C benefit from treatment with interferon alpha or a combination of interferon alpha and ribavirin.
Interferon alpha is given by injection just under the skin and has a number of side effects, including flu-like symptoms, headaches, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, depression, and thinning of hair. Treatment with interferon alpha may also interfere with the production of white blood cells and platelets.
Ribavirin is a capsule taken twice daily, and the major side effects are severe anemia (low red blood cells) and birth defects. Women should therefore avoid pregnancy during and for 6 months following treatment.
Recently, a version of interferon alpha with a longer half-life (pegylated interferon alpha) was introduced, and the longer half-life means the injections are taken weekly instead of the three times a week with standard interferon alpha. Pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin lead to a sustained response in approximately 50% of patients.
A sustained response means that the patient remains free of hepatitis C virus 6 months after stopping therapy. Approximately 40% of patients with genotype 1 infection will respond.
Rest may be recommended during the acute phase of the disease when the symptoms are most severe. People with hepatitis C should avoid any substances toxic to the liver (hepatotoxic). All patients with hepatitis C should be immunized against hepatitis A and B.
People with hepatitis C should also be careful not to take vitamins, nutritional supplements, or new over-the-counter medications without first discussing it with their doctor. Patients with hepatitis C should avoid alcohol. Even moderate amounts of alcohol speed up the progression of hepatitis C, and alcohol reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.
