Posted on 09/18/2010 8:26:32 PM PDT by markomalley
One of the key myths of the American Catholic imagination is this: After 200 years of fighting against public prejudice, Catholics finally broke through into Americas mainstream with the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy as president. Its a happy thought, and not without grounding. Next to Americas broad collection of evangelical churches, baptized Catholics now make up the biggest religious community in the United States. They serve in large numbers in Congress. They have a majority on the Supreme Court. They play commanding roles in the professions and in business leadership. Theyve climbed, at long last, the Mt. Zion of social acceptance.
So goes the tale. What this has actually meant for the direction of American life, however, is another matter. Catholic statistics once seemed impressive. They filled many of us with tribal pride. But they didnt stop a new and quite alien national landscape, a next America, from emerging right under our noses.
While both Barna Group and Pew Research Center data show that Americans remain a broadly Christian people, old religious loyalties are steadily softening. Overall, the number of Americans claiming no religious affiliation, about 16 percent, has doubled since 1990. One quarter of Americans aged 18-29 have no affiliation with any particular religion, and as the Barna Group noted in 2007, they exhibit a greater degree of criticism toward Christianity than did previous generations when they were at the same stage of life. In fact, in just a decade . . . the Christian image [has] shifted substantially downward, fueled in part by a growing sense of disengagement and disillusionment among young people.
Catholic losses have been masked by Latino immigration. But while 31 percent of Americans say they were raised in the Catholic faith, fewer than 24 percent of Americans now describe themselves as Catholic.
These facts have weight because, traditionally, religious faith has provided the basis for Americans moral consensus. And that moral consensus has informed American social policy and law. What people believeor dont believeabout God, helps to shape what they believe about men and women. And what they believe about men and women creates the framework for a nations public life.
Or to put it more plainly: In the coming decades Catholics will likely find it harder, not easier, to influence the course of American culture, or even to live their faith authentically. And the big difference between the next America and the old one will be that plenty of other committed religious believers may find themselves in the same unpleasant jam as their Catholic cousins.
At first hearing, this scenario might sound implausible; and for good reason. The roots of the American experience are deeply Protestant. They go back a very long way, to well before the nations founding. Whatever one thinks of the early Puritan colonistsand Catholics have few reasons to remember them fondlyno reader can study Gov. John Winthrops great 1630 homily before embarking for New England without being moved by the zeal and candor of the faith that produced it. In A model of Christian charity, he told his fellow colonists:
We are a company professing ourselves fellow members of Christ . . . That which the most in their churches maintain as truth in profession only, we must bring into familiar and constant practice; as in this duty of love, we must love brotherly without dissimulation, we must love one another with pure heart fervently. We must bear one anothers burdens. We must look not only on our own things, but also on the things of our brethren . . . We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of others necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each; make others conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, as members of the same body. So we will keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.
Not a bad summary of Christian discipleship, made urgent for Winthrop by the prospect of leading 700 souls on a hard, two-month voyage across the North Atlantic to an equally hard New World. What happened when they got there is a matter of historical record. And different agendas interpret the record differently.
The Puritan habits of hard work, industry and faith branded themselves on the American personality. While Puritan influence later diluted in waves of immigrants from other Protestant traditions, it clearly helped shape the political beliefs of John Adams and many of the other American Founders. Adams and his colleagues were men who, as Daniel Boorstin once suggested, had minds that were a miscellany and a museum; men who could blend the old and the new, an earnest Christian faith and Enlightenment ideas, without destroying either.
But beginning in the nineteenth century, riding a crest of scientific and industrial change, a different view of the Puritans began to emerge. In the language of their critics, the Puritans were seen as intolerant, sexually repressed, narrow-minded witch-hunters who masked material greed with a veneer of Calvinist virtue. Cast as religious fanatics, the Puritans stood accused of planting the seed of nationalist messianism by portraying America as a New Jerusalem, a city upon a hill (from Winthrops homily), with a globally redemptive mission. H.L. Menckenequally skilled as a writer, humorist and anti-religious bigotfamously described the Puritan as a man with the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
In recent years, scholars like Christian Smith have shown how the intellectual weakness and fierce internal divisions of Americas Protestant establishment allowed the secularization of modern public life as a kind of political revolution. Carried out mainly between 1870 and 1930, this rebel insurgency consisted of waves of networks of activists who were largely skeptical, freethinking, agnostic, atheist or theologically liberal; who were well educated and socially located mainly in the knowledge-production occupations, and who generally espoused materialism, naturalism, positivism and the privatization or extinction of religion.
This insurgency could be ignored, or at least contained, for a long time. Why? Because Americas social consensus supported the countrys unofficial Christian assumptions, traditions and religion-friendly habits of thought and behavior. But laweven a constitutional guaranteeis only as strong as the popular belief that sustains it. That traditional consensus is now much weakened. Seventy years of soft atheism trickling down in a steady catechesis from our universities, social-science helping professions, and entertainment and news media, have eroded it.
Obviously many faith-friendly exceptions exist in each of these professional fields. And other culprits, not listed above, may also be responsible for our predicament. The late Christopher Lasch argued that modern consumer capitalism breeds and needs a culture of narcissismi.e., a citizenry of weak, self-absorbed, needy personalitiesin order to sustain itself. Christian Smith put it somewhat differently when he wrote that, in modern capitalism, labor is mobile as needed, consumers purchase what is promoted, workers perform as demanded, managers execute as expectedand profits flow. And what the Torah, or the Pope, or Jesus may say in opposition is not relevant, because those are private matters [emphasis in original].
My point here is neither to defend nor criticize our economic system. Others are much better equipped to do that than I am. My point is that I shop, therefore I am is not a good premise for life in a democratic society like the United States. Our country depends for its survival on an engaged, literate electorate gathered around commonly held ideals. But the practical, pastoral reality facing the Gospel in America today is a human landscape shaped by advertising, an industry Pascal Bruckner described so well as a smiling form of sorcery:
The buyers fantastic freedom of choice supposedly encourages each of us to take ourselves in hand, to be responsible, to diversify our conduct and our tastes; and most important, supposedly protects us forever from fanaticism and from being taken in. In other words, four centuries of emancipation from dogmas, gods and tyrants has led to nothing more nor less than to the marvelous possibility of choosing between several brands of dish detergent, TV channels or styles of jeans. Pushing our cart down the aisle in a supermarket or frantically wielding our remote control, these are supposed to be ways of consciously working for harmony and democracy. One could hardly come up with a more masterful misinterpretation: for we consume in order to stop being individuals and citizens; rather, to escape for a moment from the heavy burden of having to make fundamental choices.
Now, where do Catholics fit into this story?
The same Puritan worldview that informed John Winthrops homily so movingly, also reviled Popery, Catholic ritual and lingering Romish influences in Englands established Anglican Church. The Catholic Church was widely seen as Revelations Whore of Babylon. Time passed, and the American religious landscape became more diverse. But the nations many different Protestant sects shared a common, foreign ogre in their perceptions of the Holy Seeperceptions made worse by Romes distrust of democracy and religious liberty. As a result, Catholics in America faced harsh Protestant discrimination throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. This included occasional riots and even physical attacks on convents, churches and seminaries. Such is the history that made John F. Kennedys success seem so liberating.
The irony is that mainline American Protestantism had used up much of its moral and intellectual power by 1960. Secularizers had already crushed it in the war for the cultural high ground. In effect, after so many decades of struggle, Catholics arrived on Americas center stage just as management of the theater had changed hands -- with the new owners even less friendly, but far shrewder and much more ambitious in their social and political goals, than the old ones. Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox, despite their many differences, share far more than divides them, beginning with Jesus Christ himself. They also share with Jews a belief in the God of Israel and a reverence for Gods Word in the Old Testament. But the gulf between belief and unbelief, or belief and disinterest, is vastly wider.
In the years since Kennedys election, Vatican II and the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, two generations of citizens have grown to maturity. The world is a different place. America is a different placeand in some ways, a far more troubling one. We cant change history, though we need to remember and understand it. But we can only blame outside factors for our present realities up to a point. As Catholics, like so many other American Christians, we have too often made our country what it is through our appetite for success, our self-delusion, our eagerness to fit in, our vanity, our compromises, our self-absorption and our tepid faith.
If government now pressures religious entities out of the public square, or promotes same-sex marriage, or acts in ways that undermine the integrity of the family, or compromises the sanctity of human life, or overrides the will of voters, or discourages certain forms of religious teaching as hate speech, or interferes with individual and communal rights of consciencewell, why not? In the name of tolerance and pluralism, we have forgotten why and how we began as nation; and we have undermined our ability to ground our arguments in anything higher than our own sectarian opinions.
The next America has been in its chrysalis a long time. Whether people will be happy when it fully emerges remains to be seen. But the future is not predestined. We create it with our choices. And the most important choice we can make is both terribly simple and terribly hard: to actually live what the Church teaches, to win the hearts of others by our witness, and to renew the soul of our country with the courage of our own Christian faith and integrity. There is no more revolutionary act.
Charles J. Chaput is the archbishop of Denver.
No kidding.
Rome teaches us to find Christ amidst the poor. We are, you know, Biblical faith. Compare Matthew 11:5, Matthew 25:40, Luke 6:20.
But we have saints from all walks of life. Many adopted poverty despite being born into the ruling class e.g. St. Martin, St. Catherine of Siena or St. Francis. Others gave up what youy might call middle-class existence like St. Peter, St. Matthew, or St. Teresa of Ávila. It's not what you come from that what you are willing to become that matters:
Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee (Luke 18:28)
There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28)
This is the work ethic of Catholic Christians since the Sermon on the mountainm and is decidedly anti-Protestant. Don't get personal with your insults.
we know that Roman Catholics think Paul is "loony" and "deluded."
Oh, look, quotation marks. Who said that? St. Paul preaches nothing but Catholic doctrine.
Ping to my previous post.
My statement was about Protestants in general because they all, perhaps to various extents, read one thing and think another, and believe the liars that lead them. Else they would not be Protestants.
The only personal tthing about the Good Doctor was that she is a Protestant. If she is not, I apologize. I was going by her posts.
It is good that you provide links rather than simply put a few questionable words in quotes and make a general comment. However, I think you ought to ping the author of the linked post.
I should not express myself clearly? I think Protestant heresy is a damnable lie that endangered many souls, and continues to do so. This is a discussion forum. I discuss. The Gospel tells me to.
sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you (1 Peter 3:15)
your religion and how it interacts productively and in a Christian manner with other religions.
We surely do. I certainly have plenty of interaction with the Protestants especially from before my blessed wife's conversion, but also to this day. I visited Baptist churches with regularity, and some others; I went to Protestant Bible studies. I am encouraged by the cooperation of many Protestants in the pro-life work of the Church. Catholics, especially Westrn Catholics, should never forget that Protestantism is a prodigal son of Catholic Christianity; we have a fatted calf ready for all who return, but even those who are still away have the Catholic kernel of truth inside of them. They should listen to it.
Well, we know that Roman Catholics think Paul is "loony" and "deluded."
Totally dishonest and misleading statement.
I was on that thread and you know full well that ONE Catholic Freeper made those statements about Paul.
To take on persons statement and extrapolate it out to a whole group of believers is really desperate.
I know of a Calvinist who committed murder. I guess that means we know that Calvinists are a bunch of vile murderers.
We too have over 20 different rites. We do not call for uniformity of worship, and neither did I make it about style of worship. But doctrinal disagreements between Christian groups should give anyone great concern,because the Holy Ghost does not lead in different directions.
Ill defend their right to worship their crazy stuff
This is an amazing statement. They still worship Christ, don't they? He is not "crazy stuff". Next, no one said the Prosperity Gospel preachers should have their consitutional and natural rights taken away from them. All human beings have an inalienable right to preach and worship anything so long as they do not cause violence against the innocent. The dispute between you and me is about integrity of doctrine, not legal action. Was it not clear to you?
Say it to St. Paul and St. James who said it. I just read what's written.
Especially to put something in quotes yet not ping the person being quoted. Not cricket.
"I think Protestant heresy is a damnable lie that endangered many souls, and continues to do so."
Catholic declared Protestant heresy is a damnable lie, according to Catholic heretics who through their corruption of the single Church endangered many souls, including their own.
Meanwhile Protestants moved beyond Catholic heresy and worship as they believe they are called to worship, not how some men in opulent raiment, extracting alms collected around the would like them to.
So who are the heretics? I don't think it's an exclusive club, my friend. You just don't want to believe you're in it too.
James is talking about the KIND of faith one has
Yes, you can say that. You can say that true mature faith is one that is accompanied by good works. But what you cannot say, because on that passage alone, that we are saved by faith alone. We are saved by faith and by good works.
No we are not saved by Faith plus anything!
James is saying if effect, "You CLAIM to have faith? Yet you don't read your bible, you dont pray, you dont help the brethren. You are not showing the fruit of your FAITH. Your faith is not a Saving Faith. Those who have Saving Faith, produce WILL produce fruit. If your "faith" has not produced any Christian behavior you are not justified in SAYING you have Faith.
James affirms that it is not dead faith which justifies but only a faith that is productive of good works and that its genuineness is seen only by good works.
James 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
Rom 3:20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
This righteousness is from God alone.
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.
We are Given Christ's righteousness as a Gift thru Faith.
He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
It is thru Faith alone that saves. Works are prepared for us to do because we ARE the elect, NOT to become the elect.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.
Those who want to be saved by faith and works HAVE a basis for boasting!
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
A difficult passage in James cannot overturn the multitude of verses that clearly explanation that it is by FAITH we are Saved.
No man has any right whatsoever to determine any church has exclusive rights to Salvation or the Salvation message. Jesus clearly taught this...."what is that to you, you follow Christ". "What does it matter...but that Christ is preached everywhere".
There are many pew sitters in every church....unsaved. There are equally many who take communion and or attend mass who are not saved. "having an appearance of" only, yet their hearts are far from Him.
Attending Mass never has saved an individual.....nor partaking in communion. Although if the Gospel message is preached there may be some who respond, but that is the work of the Holy Spirit. He decides and knows whose heart is willing....not man...not a Pope...not a Pastor...and certainly not by the action of taking Communion.
Salvation leads to a relationship with Christ. It does not depend on rites or for that matter even attending a church. The church has always been intended for "believers"...to hear the message, to fellowship with others of like minds, to build up and encourage the believers.
One can wear a dozen crucifixion emblems but that does not make them Christian...(gang members love them)...Another can attend Mass every day and that does not make them more than religious if they do not have Christ.
You are mistaken to be critical of missionaries and the message they carry. We are all called to be so....this is commonly understood...... A church has on the inside and over the door archway a sign which reads as you leave the church....."You are now entering the Mission Field".... The moment our feet leave the church we have indeed entered the Mission Field.
I should not express myself clearly? I think Protestant heresy is a damnable lie that endangered many souls, and continues to do so. This is a discussion forum. I discuss. The Gospel tells me to.
I thought the Pope said we are seperated brethren? :(
So, your job is to convert people to Rome even though they have already been converted by Christ?
"You are mistaken to be critical of missionaries and the message they carry"
I'm not critcal of missionaries.
I'm critical of your group CLAIMING THE CROWN OF PERSECUTION from their comfy-chair keyboards because Catholics won't buy your interpretation of Scripture.
That, is what is disgusting.
This is not what Eph 2:8-10 say. It says that we are saved by grace alone; that grace is not from works but is a gift of God, therefore we should not boast of it; that both faith and our good works come from God as a result of faith. In short, we are saved by grace alone but not by faith alone. Grace produces both faith and good works for those who obey God. Nowhere does that passage say that we are saved first and then do works, even though your translation incorreclty uses past perfect tense for "σεσωσμενοι". Young's Literal Translation has it "ye are having been saved". King James has it "are ye saved". Salvation is a process that starts with the Cross and extends through the entirety of one's life.
Your exegesis is certainly unique. I think you confuse Justification and Sanctification. In Justification we are seen as perfectly acceptable to GOD thru Faith in Christ.
God sees us robbed in White(Christ's Rigteousness) upon conversion. Sanctification is a life process of being transformed to His likeness, IE, Babes in Christ, to Fathers in Christ.
Eph 2:8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. 10For we are His workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (NAS)
Not sure how it can be any clearer. Saved thru Faith, NOT of ourselves, Gift of GOD, NOT a result of works, can't boast, HIS workmanship, Created in Christ FOR good works (Horse/cart).
Rom. 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,"
Rom. 5:1, "therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Rom.9:30, "What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith."
Rom.10:4, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Rom. 11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace." GRACE is unmerited FAVOR, not just sanctifying to enable you to cooperate to attain salvation.
Gal. 2:16, "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."
Gal. 2:21, I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
Gal.3:5-6, "Does He then, who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 6Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."
Gal. 3:24, "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith."
Eph. 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. 9 Not by works, lest any man should boast."
Phil. 3:9, "and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."
Thanks, I pointed that out in post 465, and got no reply. Then in 488 metmom came on and said that dr. e. never said "ALL Catholics."
It makes me wonder how far they will go to twist the truth.
Please take me off your ping list.
Perhaps you were not on that particular thread where a half dozen Roman Catholics agreed with the idea that Paul was not to be trusted as an apostle nor as an expositor of God's grace. I don't recall your name or your comments on that thread.
It's understandable that so many Roman Catholics dismiss Paul (to the point of calling Protestants "Paulists") because Paul contradicts Rome in so many ways. Where Paul sees "confidence" Rome teaches presumption. Where Paul declares "liberty of conscience" Rome preaches condemnation (Trent) to all who believe they have been saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
But the fact so many Roman Catholics ridicule Paul begs the question -- either Roman Catholics have been "catechized correctly" or they haven't.
Apparently many of them haven't been.
I do not dismiss St. Paul, nor do I think he contradicts Rome. I think he was likely mentally unbalanced and I find him self-contradictory.
Where Paul sees "confidence" Rome teaches presumption. Where Paul declares "liberty of conscience" Rome preaches condemnation (Trent) to all who believe they have been saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Please cite chapter and verse where St. Paul contradicts the Catholic Church you ridicule as "Rome."
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I don't LIKE St. Paul.
LOLOL. Another winner! Thank you, Judith.
Popes are "infallible in matters of faith and religion" but the apostle Paul, who was personally confronted by God, was "mentally unbalanced."
How do we trust that Paul was chosen by God to preach the Gospel to all men in truth and light if he was "mentally unbalanced?"
No wonder Roman Catholics don't have faith in the word of God. They believe it was written by knuckleheads with emotional problems.
More hot coals, eh, Judith?
Well the sola scriptura crowd gives plenty of examples of the word of God thrown around the forum by knuckleheads with emotional problems. So I don't see the problem here.
And I have plenty of faith in the Word of God. Christ is the Word, St. John 1:1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." St. Paul, on the other hand, was likely a mystic with a few loose screws, who had a megalomaniac's inflated sense of his own importance.
Sorry Dr. E. I had to go back and read the original post before I believed it. We all make mistakes may be this one of those times, or it's just another example of how much RC's hate non-RC's.
What is the big deal about my opinion? I am nobody. Get over it.
Thank you for those wonderful, hope endowing verses from Scripture. The passages in James, though few, are used as proof texts by those who desire to boast in their own merits and good works in attaining salvation. But we can know from the hundreds of other God-inspired Scriptures that the real "good news" is that man does not and cannot ever contribute anything to the payment of the penalty of his sin. It is only through the sacrifice of Christ in our place - his shed blood for the propitiation of our sins - that we can receive the gift of eternal life with him in Heaven. James, read in this context, then becomes perfectly clear and those who want to twist it to mean they have anything to boast of are proven incorrect. It confirms the Gospel of grace and does not contradict it.
I praise God that he has given me eternal life by grace through faith and this knowledge has changed me intrinsically. I am not the same person I was before. I have grown in the faith. I have grown closer to the Lord with each passing year and this is how our Heavenly Father works within us. I do not presume to judge another's faith or walk with Christ based upon the labels they use to identify themselves.
Do you believe you're a Christian?
For one to deny Paul they also have to deny the record contained in the Book of Acts, (which is called the Acts of the apostles), and all of early church history......
Justin Martyr quotes Paul (100-16 ad).
Polycarp quotes Paul.
Iranaeus quotes Paul over 200 times.
The list could go on and which includes many other Christian writers....but foremost the word of God speaks accurately of Paul.
Impossible to deny Paul.
What is this, the inquisition?
Fine. I do not deny St. Paul. I just don't like him. And, I think he was nuts.
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of themyet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (St. Paul)
We should all be so "nuts". :o)
you don't like Paul, so do you love him?
Here we go again.
Paul seems to be the least favorite for some reason. Oh well....
Well the sola scriptura crowd gives plenty of examples of the word of God thrown around the forum by knuckleheads with emotional problems. So I don't see the problem here.
And I have plenty of faith in the Word of God. Christ is the Word, St. John 1:1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
let us list the reasons why he might not be the favorite. Number 1: They can't understand a word he says.
That's a good example of the kind of writing by St. Paul that I do not like.
Oh, really?
yes, really but feel free to prove me wrong
Number 2: He never mentions Mary, and he says to not pray to angels, not even ones who appear as light.
yes, really but feel free to prove me wrong
I have never seen you acknowledge it when anyone has proven you wrong, so I conclude that any attempt to enter a closed mind is a waste of perfectly good electrons.
I only asked the question because I have never run into a Christian who thought one of the writers of our Scriptures was mentally unbalanced. The implications are pretty obvious. So I ask again do you believe you are a Christian?
just some of the topics , the mystery of Christ, Eschatology and Christology, Christ the exalted and coming Kyrios, the essence of sin, anthropolocal or theological, the eschatological character of justification, righteousness by faith without the law, the justification of the ungodly, imputation, Christ the head of all things, the church as Pleroma, and on and on it goes.
definitely a whack job
I'm not responsible for any limits you may have on your knowledge base. I reject whatever "implications" you may have conjectured. You are not my religious authority.
What is your authority for saying Paul/Saul was a Hebrew scholar?
Blame the Holy Spirit, then.

Ready for the Premier League? How Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool will fare in the big time
With this season's promoted Premier League sides all varying in experience, history and club size, predictions and expectations for their eventual fate are more wavering than usual.
One primary goal they all share though is the same target to avoid relegation straight back down to The Championship.
Sportsmail takes a look at the Premier League's new teams and see if they have what it takes to remain in the top flight...
Newcastle United
Premier League History
Bucket loads. Last season was only the second Premier League campaign Newcastle have not been around, having missed the inaugural season back in 1992-93.
During their 16-year stay they had near title misses but caused a shock when they were relegated on the last day in 2009.
The Manager - Chris Hughton
Improved his credentials by cruising towards The Championship title in his first full season, winning the league by 11 points.
His only manager experience at Premier League level, though, are caretaker spells at Newcastle and Spurs, where at the former he was especially found wanting.
Instant return: Chris Hughton ensured Newcastle spent only one season away from the Premier League
The days of breaking the world record transfer to sign Alan Shearer are long gone, but the club is capable to still attract good enough players that would go towards them staying up.
Along with their huge fan base and St James' Park - one of the biggest stadiums in the country, holding more than 52,000 - merchandise sales and gate receipts will not be a problem.
One to watch - Andy Carroll
After finishing as the club's top scorer in The Championship, the 21-year-old academy product has come of age and has been handed the famous No 9 shirt, which could act as a springboard as he attempts to prove himself at the top.
After the annus horribilis of 2008-09, Newcastle are still not fully healed, with owner Mike Ashley still not popular with fans, especially after the stadium name change plan.
But Chris Hughton has built a good side blended with youth and experience and should be targeting a comfortable mid-table finish.
West Bromwich Albion
Premier League History
The Premier League's yo-yo side. Promoted four times in the last nine years, they have survived only one Premier League season, famously finishing 17th on the final day of the 2005-06 season having been bottom going into the final game.
They were relegated a year later, as well as in 2003 and 2009.
Prove a point: Injury prevented Dorrans from making a bigger impact during his first Premier League season
The Manager - Roberto Di Matteo
Delivered under pressure in his first season at the club, racking up a club-record points haul of 91 on their way to 2nd in The Championship.
Di Matteo's side have been praised for their neat passing football but Baggies fans will remember under Tony Mowbray's tenure that it can lead to their own downfall.
In the cramped football world of the West Midlands, The Baggies hold their own with a strong fanbase and have funds to spend on players if needs be.
The ground is one of the smallest in the division, but the club have proved they can survive within their means at this level.
One to Watch - Graham Dorrans
One of Di Matteo's most important signings of the summer was extending Dorrans' contract with the club, in turn warding off interest from other Premier League clubs.
The Scotland international has become a fan favourite and his form will be a major factor towards West Bromwich's fortunes this season.
'The Great Escape' aside, West Bromwich tend to fail in the top flight. Their attractive passing game has worked against them in the past but providing they keep their key players fit, they should expect to at least be in contention for survival come the final day of the season.
Premier League History
None. This time last season, fans were not even dreaming of the Premier League and having not been in the top flight since 1971 the club are more than a little wet behind the ears.
Manager - Ian Holloway
Pulled off the impossible by securing promotion in his first season, has good manager experience with reasonable levels of success in the lower leagues. How he deals with the Premier League will be a defining point in his managerial career.
Painfully low. With Bloomfield Road holding fewer than 13,000 it is virtually at least half the size of every other Premier League ground.
With the club operating on a Championship budget as well, attracting the quality players they need to survive will be extremely difficult.
Go one better: After promotion Holloway will hope to produce a bigger shock by keeping Blackpool up
One to Watch - Charlie Adam
Very much the driving force behind the play-off winning side and will need to be at his creative best if his side are to shine this season.
Adam has been a big hit with fans since his arrival from Rangers in 2009 and will fancy his chances of proving himself in the top flight.
After sneaking in to the play-offs on the final day of last season, few could have predicted Blackpool would be playing Premier League football this season, even fewer will back them to stay up.
Stranger things have happened but it's hard to see how the club can possibly survive the harsh world of the Premier League.

Motif 1.2.3 Runtime and Development System for Linux
It is worth pointing out up front that for the most part, Motif is Motif regardless of who you buy it from. A vendor licenses the Motif source code from the Open Software Foundation (OSF), and then ports it to whatever platform they want so they can sell the resulting libraries and executables. Therefore, the main part of the product will not vary much from vendor to vendor, or platform to platform. However, where a vendor gets a chance to differentiate themselves is with the user's manuals and the installation procedure they provide. In my view, Sequoia has done an excellent job in bringing Motif to the Linux platform. Any of the complaints I raise in this article are really complaints about Motif and not about the job Sequoia has done.
Motif is really three things. First, it is a set of guidelines which define the way an X-Window user interface should look and feel. To the untrained eye, Motif looks an awful lot like Microsoft Windows or OS/2's Presentation Manager. This should come as no surprise, when the history of Motif is considered. The Motif "shell" program provided with the libraries gives this history of Motif:
On December 30, 1988, OSF announced that the user environment component offering will be based on several leading technologies: Digital Equipment Corporation's toolkit technology (widgets) and the joint Hewlett-Packard/Microsoft submission of H-P's 3-D appearance and Microsoft's Presentation Manager-compatible behavior (window manager). The hybrid offering, OSF/Motif environment will provide users with a familiar way to access computer resources across a broad variety of computing hardware platforms, from personal computers to mainframes.
The driving force behind Motif was to unify the graphical user interface look and feel of Unix-based software so that it could compete for the desktop against other standards like the Macintosh or Microsoft Windows. By having a standard look and feel which was common across many hardware platforms, users would benefit by not having to relearn how to interact with software as they moved around and developers would benefit by having a standard to program against.
This brings us to the second part of what Motif is. Motif is a standard set of widgets with a documented interface which may be ported from platform to platform. It is safe to say that if a platform supports X-Window development, then it will not take much effort to make it support Motif. All that's needed are the Motif libraries, or failing that, a source code license from OSF for Motif and a minor bit of effort to port them.
To many people, Motif is just a window manager for X-Windows. This third aspect of Motif is what determines the way window borders are drawn, how windows are resized, iconified, and moved. Generally speaking, it defines how users and applications will interact with their windowing system.
Why would you want to run Motif on your Linux system? There are three reasons, which parallel the three aspects of Motif discussed above. First, you may want the applications you build to follow the standards for GUI look-and-feel so that your users will feel comfortable sooner and will benefit from consistency across applications. Second, you may want to develop software on your Linux box that you would like to port to other X-Windows platforms. If you use the Motif toolkit to build your code, you will be able to quickly port the user interface to any other platform that has the Motif libraries available.
It is worth pointing out that the TK toolkit which comes with many distributions can be used to create Motif-compliant applications, though programming with it is radically different than programming with the Motif widgets. I will not betray my own bias on this issue; instead I defer you to the endless discussions on this topic which are found in the Usenet comp.lang.tcl and comp.windows.x newsgroups.
The last reason you may want to buy Motif for your Linux box is to run the Motif Window Manager (mwm). You or your clients may wish to have exactly the same look and feel on your Linux box as you enjoy on other machines. While fvwm can closely emulate a Motif look, it is not the same. The mwm window manager seems rock solid and gives your Linux box an exact Motif look. Note that I am not trying to knock fvwm; in fact, I prefer it to mwm because I like its virtual desktop and its low memory use.
What kind of system resources does the Sequoia Motif consume? The manual indicated that 12MB of free disk space were needed under /usr, and 3MB were needed in /tmp. It turned out that 3.6MB of space was needed in the /tmp directory, and only 9.9MB of space were used in the /usr directory.
A Linux kernel newer than 0.99pl13 is required, and XFree86 2.0 must be installed in the standard way (under /usr/X386). The documentation describes how to check this (and in fact the installation script checks it as well). My Slackware 1.1.1 had it in the right spot.
Sequoia also recommends 12MB of RAM to do development (i.e., compiling and linking Motif programs). I have only 8MB and I was able to do it with no more swapping than I normally get when I do compiling. It is usable with 8MB, but certainly it's better with 12MB.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Which Bude will you discover?
There's a lot to love about Bude. With a laidback allure all of its own, and so much to see and do, we have something for everyone. From romantic whiskaways to fun-fuelled family holidays, it's all here, where Cornwall begins and everyday cares melt away. Following the 2015 British Travel Awards, Bude was named as Best UK Coastal Resort.
With thrills, spills and pure escapism on the menu, Bude is a little town with big possibilities. Ramblers, riders, surfers and swimmers flock to our sunny, spotlessly clean beaches and wild coastline. However, a little-known secret is that Bude's also fabulous for secluded golf courses and brilliant sea and coarse fishing.
We all need a little pick-me-up once in awhile, and Bude is just the ticket. Just a stone's throw from the Devon border, epic, wild beaches and a thriving cultural hub await. Whether you embark on a day or a stay, you can expect one of the warmest welcomes in the South West. We are also child friendly, dog friendly, access friendly… in fact we're just friendly in general here.
"Great walks along the beach with stunning views and the Atlantic Ocean crashing into the cliffs. Especially invigorating in Autumn as the winds pick up. Plenty of surf for the adventurous."
"Crooklets is a great beach with great facilities and some of the best waves for surfing and body boarding in the country"
"Back for the second year in a row as Bude and the surrounds make the perfect location for a family holiday, with a toddler in tow. Going home tomorrow, but we will be back! Very friendly locals, great food, beautiful coastline and beaches……plus the BEST cream teas!"
"the ruggedness the coastline the sea the town and the countryside all so close but unspoilt part of Cornwall, love it"
"Many happy holidays in Bude. One day I'll retire here"

Ideas about Liberty
Ideas about liberty permeate all elements of CIS research. How much government and regulation does Australia need are questions that we address through our research and events program.
We believe in liberty; freedom of association, religion and speech; and the right to property.
The ideal we endorse is that a good society is one in which autonomous citizens are at liberty to order their affairs as they wish, and in which individuals have the capacity to take personal responsibility for their choices.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Jean Boase-Beier's Critical Introduction To Translation Studies demonstrates a keen understanding of theoretical and practical translation. It looks to instances where translation might not be straightforward, where stylistics play an important role. Examples are discussed from works of literature, advertisements, journalism and others, where effects on the reader are central to the text, and are reflected in the style.It begins by setting out some of the basic problems and issues that arise in the study of translation, such as: the difference between literary and non-literary translation; the role of language, content and style; the question of universals and specifics in language andthe notion of context. The book then goes on to focus more closely on style and how it enables us to characterise literary texts and literary translation. The final part looks at the translation of poetry. Throughout, it is conscious of the relationship between theory and practice in translation.This book offers a new approach to translation, grounded in stylistics, and it will be an invaluable resource for undergraduates and postgraduates approaching translation studies.

Domino's to debut breaded 'pizza chicken' concoction
Are you ready to try a new pizza with breaded chicken in place of the dough?
The dish is probably not quite how you'd imagine it, and it won't be circular shaped, but pizza chain Domino's will soon be delivering the new concoction to customers all over the nation and abroad.
USA Today reports Domino's announced plans Monday to begin offering four varieties of an item called Specialty Chicken on April 21.
The dish features pizza toppings baked into a bed of breaded, boneless chicken. It will be part of the pizza giant's $5.99 value menu.
Domino's will initially offer the chicken entree in four flavors: Crispy Bacon and Tomato, Spicy Jalepeno and Pineapple, Classic Hot Buffalo and Sweet BBQ Bacon.
CEO J. Patrick Doyle told USA Today that the number of offerings could grow over time, depending on the dish's popularity.
Restaurant sales of chicken are on a roll. And sales of boneless chicken, in particular, are up 11 percent over the past three years, says NPD Group, the research specialist. Even before the new roll-out, Domino's already sells more chicken than anything else besides pizza, says Doyle. That includes pasta, salads and soft drinks. It's sold chicken wings for more than two decades. The key to this new dish, says Doyle, is that it gives consumers a chance to top chicken with the very same ingredients they like to layer on pizza. And for store owners, it doesn't require stocking extra ingredients — since the toppings already are in the store.
Domino's has been on a pretty good roll since it changed its pizza recipe back in 2010. It's domestic same-store sales rose 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, and its international same-store sales jumped 7 percent.
Doyle said that the company initially tested out the product with the name "Pizza Chicken," but that "nobody knew what that was."

We noted on Friday that a bunch of Religious Right figures were planning a seven-hour prayer rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, while a 15-hour rally organized by dominionist Lou Engle was scheduled for Los Angeles. In advance of the event, organizers of United Cry DC16 called it a gathering of "30,000+ pastors and Christian leaders." According to the event's website, "Each time thousands of Christians gathered to pray in Washington, DC, our nation encountered significant events and God intervened." The "crowd" at the... MORE >

Two major prayer rallies organized by Religious Right figures are being held on Saturday —one at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and one in Los Angeles. The two events will be linked with a simulcast "Bridge to Prayer." The Washington event, United Cry DC 16, is scheduled to run for seven hours and will be broadcast on GodTV. It features an impressive number of familiar Religious Right figures, including Tony Perkins, Jerry Boykin, Harry Jackson, Samuel Rodriguez, Jim Garlow, Alveda King and E.W. Jackson.

Twentieth century, let's see, we left the secularists in charge…We had Hitler, we had Joseph Stalin and we had Mao. 120 million people [killed]. It gets worse. In the second half of the 20th century, we've murdered 400 [million] babies through abortion in China and 50 million in the United States. Let's see, there are 500 million people we have killed in the 20th century. It's one-tenth of the number of people who are living today, almost one-tenth. How did we do that?

Just as Texas Gov. Rick Perry launched his 2012 presidential bid with a prayer rally called "The Response," fellow Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is set to lead his own "Response" prayer event this Saturday in Baton Rouge. Many of the pastors and conservative activists who backed the 2011 rally credited Perry's actions with various miracles, raising the bar for Jindal's event, which is being organized by the very same people. Unfortunately for Perry, the various miracles produced by his prayer rally did not include producing even a single... MORE >

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is following in the footsteps of Texas Gov. Rick Perry and kicking off his possible presidential campaign next month with a stadium prayer rally organized by radical religious right activists. As Brian reported on Monday, the virulently anti-gay Christian nationalist American Family Association, influential Religious Right leader David Lane and Doug Stringer, a self-proclaimed "apostle" from Texas who has blamed America's rejection of God for the September 11 attacks, are spearheading Jindal's Baton Rouge rally. These activists are the... MORE >

As Religious Right activists descend on Washington, D.C., for this weekend's Values Voter Summit, dominionist and self-described apostle Tim Sheets is calling on God's chosen ones to be ever more bold and aggressive. Sheets is an Ohio-based pastor who, like his brother Dutch Sheets, is a partner of self-proclaimed prophet Cindy Jacobs. And while the Sheets brothers and Jacobs are not on the Values Voter Summit agenda, VVS host Family Research Council has partnered with their ministries in the Freedom Federation and its Awakening conferences, and in a 2012 campaign meant to...

"God Loves Uganda," a documentary about American evangelical involvement in inflaming anti-gay sentiment in that country, made its debut at last year's Sundance Festival and reached a broader audience through this week's broadcast on public television. The attention from this week's broadcast has provoked a response from the International House of Prayer (IHOP). Filmmaker Ross Williams was given extensive access to IHOP leaders, including evangelist Lou Engle, who believes Uganda has a special prophetic destiny. The documentary includes footage of Engle at... MORE >

Nothing like putting things in perspective. At the end of a week in which Religious Right leaders, cable TV pundits, and conservative politicians acted as if freedom were being destroyed because a rich TV star was suspended for making offensive racist and anti-gay comments, the Parliament in Uganda passed a bill that threatens gay people with life in prison. And with that vote, all the alarmist bluster about persecution from Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal and every Religious Right leader who saw a chance to boost year-end fundraising by jumping on the martyrdom bandwagon was made to look...

More about us
Who are we
East & Partners is a leading banking research and advisory firm providing the financial services industry with independent, market wide research, analysis and customer insight on the institutional corporate and business banking markets across the Asia Pacific.
What we do
East & Partners Pty Ltd, a leading specialist market research firm in the corporate and investment banking markets of the Asia Pacific, works across 11 countries in the region delivering both multi-client and proprietary market analysis services to the industry.
How we can help
While many firms spend efforts on individual ratings, such as "Best Asian Fixed Income Salesperson", East & Partners focuses on the customer-to-bank relationship as an institutional one, not flavoured by personalities. We know that many corporates are unwilling to rate individuals within their banking relationships and flavour their responses accordingly.
Where we do it
East & Partners Pty Ltd is an Asia Pacific company. Our work in Australia and Asia is vital to the success of our company, while for other firms this region may not be their sole focal point. Certain firms obtain work in this region because of their global client relationships. East & Partners relies solely on the quality of our work.

Culture Shock
So Juvenile
By Erin Adair-Hodges
What to do about teenagers? They ruin your couches, they smell weird and there's lots of hugging. We older folk forget, perhaps intentionally, that we were once also pimply bundles of barely contained hormonal explosions. Maybe instead of locking our car doors when they walk by, we should look at giving them better than we got.
