Trinitarian Resurrection Ii By: Phillip Ross | - What is true in heaven will one day be true on earth. And the one thing that we know for sure about the earth is that we are here in our bodies. We can doubt everything else, but we cannot doubt the existence of our own bodies. We may not know what they are, or how they work, but the reality of our own bodies is an undeniable fact. We eat, we sleep, we go about our business -- all of which serves as a testimony to the reality of our bodily existence. If you can hear what I'm saying, or see the w ...

Washing The Dead, Fighting Beasts By: Phillip Ross | - "Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead?" (1 Corinthians 15:29). This verse is a stickler in that it is not easy to determine what Paul was talking about. It helps to keep in mind that the context of the verse is Paul's continuing defense of the reality of resurrection.
Much of the problem comes from our sinful desire to turn the Bible and Christianity into something mystical and spiritual, as a way of distancing ourselves from the plain meaning and t ... Tags:paul, corinthians, dead, baptism, baptism of the dead, rot
All God's Children By: Phillip Ross | - 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 provides a clear statement of the representative nature of biblical governance, "by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection" (1 Corinthians 15:21). Death and resurrection are dispensed to the whole of humanity through a covenantal head who serves as a representative, who represents the people to God and who represents God to the people. The Greek "dia" is a primary preposition denoting the channel of an act, and literally means "through." So a man, a cove ... Tags:paul, corinthians, all, love, gifts, salvatiion
About Port Blair, Holiday Packages India By: Leesa Steve | - The prison land mass, Port Blair was well-known as "Kala pani", an imprisonment in an island enclosed by water throughout the British Period.

Love Doesn't Babble By: Phillip Ross | - "Love never ends" (1 Corinthians 13:8), or as the King James Bible reads, "Charity never faileth." Fails is the better translation of the Greek. To say that love never ends makes it into a statement about time and duration, whereas to say that love never fails makes it into a statement about effectiveness and perseverance. Over against love, Paul has put prophecies and knowledge, both of which will fail, and tongues, which will cease.
Healing With Ayahuasca By: ross heaven | - Ayahuasca is a magical rainforest medicine made from ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the leaves of the chacruna plant (Psychotria viridis).
The mixture is prepared by cleaning specially-chosen vines and adding them and the leaves to water. This is then boiled and reduced for several hours, attended by shamans who blow their intentions and good wishes (soplada) into it, make prayers to their spirits for good healings and singing icaros (sacred healing songs) into the brew ...

Crisis Of Leadership By: Phillip Ross | - Sex sells. That's no secret, and because it does, it's everywhere in our contemporary society. We live in a consumer society, and sales are the life-blood of a consumerism. And sex is the sizzle in our consumer blood.
Everywhere else we are treated to the increasing number of sex crimes and scandals in the local news. Yesterday, a 71 year-old mobile library bus driver in the Columbus area was busted raping an old woman with Alzheimer's. Several years ago one of the largest cases of ...

Tongues, Part 2 By: Phillip Ross | - If Paul's use of tongues does not mean glossolalia in the contemporary or Delphic sense, what does it mean? The Greek word simply means tongue, the instrument of speech. And by implication and common use at the time it was written, it referred to a foreign language or to foreign languages (plural). The Protestant Reformers believed that glossolalia (ecstatic and unintelligible speech) had stopped or ought to stop in the New Testament era, that the manifestation of the Holy Spirit among God's peo ...

Trials And Tribulations By: Phillip Ross | - This is a very important point. Don't miss it. The Old Testament was written to teach Christians about faithfulness. Another way to say it is that Christian faithfulness is aided by the lessons garnered from the Old Testament. Or this -- Christianity cannot be understood apart from the teaching of the Old Testament, apart from learning the lessons of the Old Testament.
The point was that the Corinthians, like the Ancient Israelites, should not trust in their baptism alone. Paul said ... Tags:paul, corinthians trials, tribulation
Did The Pope Sell Zyklon B? By: Ian Ross Vayro | - A good question - why and how could Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) have sold Zyklon B during World War II when it was manufactured by a German firm? Why would Wojtyla wish to do this, as he had a Jewish mother and are there documents to support this?
To answer these questions, let's have a look at a little history.
What's Wrong With Sex Apart From Marriage? By: Phillip Ross | - Paul uses an example of temple prostitution for two reasons. First, he has already identified that the Corinthians have misunderstood something significant related to God's teaching about sexuality, fornication in particular. And secondly, arguments related to prostitution have a long biblical history. The Old Testament prophets have long described faithlessness as a kind of covenantal prostitution. Unfaithful people "live with" or "sleep with" other gods in violation of the covenantal relations ... Tags:paul, corinthians, covenant, sex
Membership Is Not A Club By: Phillip Ross | - "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body" (1 Corinthians 6:13). The worldly wisdom expressed in this popular saying was that bodily activities -- eating, drinking, sexing, etc. -- are intended for the body and have no impact upon the mind or the spirit. It amounts to what can be called philosophical compartmentalization, which simply means that v ... Tags:paul, corinthians, membership, heaven, earth

Two Spirits By: Phillip Ross | - Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 3:12 that there are two spirits active in the lives of people -- the "spirit of the world" and the "spirit who is from God." The spirit of the world could also be called the natural spirit in that it does not recognize or honor God, while the spirit who is from God does. Understanding the difference between these two spirits hinges on our yielding to the reality of God and denying the temptations and deceptions of the world.
Can You Dig It? By: Phillip Ross | - Paul previously made the case that God's wisdom is not like human wisdom, that the best wisdom, intelligence and scholarship that man has to offer is foolishness compared to God's wisdom, the wisdom of Scripture. Paul made the case for the necessity of regeneration and/or conversion from the mindset of the world to the mindset of Christ. To become a Christian is to undergo a complete change of heart and of mind.
Peace And Purity In The Churches By: Phillip Ross | - All Christians need to seek the peace and purity of the church. This is no small task because sin has set peace and purity at odds with one another. Those who seek doctrinal unity or purity, those for whom truth is the primary category of faithfulness are often charged with disturbing the peace of the church because they meet with opposition when they teach or assert various unpopular doctrines. And those who seek peace, those for whom fellowship is the primary category of faithfulness are often ... Tags:born again, baptise, baptism, conflict
Discerning Divisive Divisions And Understanding Unity By: Phillip Ross | - Paul goes on to address divisions in the church. Why does he talk about divisions in the church? Shouldn't he be talking about love and unity among the brethren? Paul was committed to the truth. He believed Jesus when He said that "the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). The truth was that there were divisions in the church. There are divisions in every church, always have been. Paul not only acknowledged this truth, but went on to provide the cure for church divisions, "be united in the same ... Tags:paul, 1 corinthians, first corinthians, unity, diversity, divisions
The Western world is increasingly familiar with ayahuasca, the visionary brew and plant doctor of Amazonian shamans, thanks to celebrities like Sting and Madonna who have drunk it and television programmes like Bruce Parrys Tribe and Amazon, which showed the presenter drinking ayahuasca in the jungles of Peru, during which he experienced, he said, some of the most profound insights of his life.

Plant Spirit Shamanism: Voodoo Shamanism By: ross heaven | - This is Tim Booth's introduction to my book, Vodou Shaman, where he speaks of his own experiences with Vodou / Voodoo.
What do we really know about voodoo' in the West? Almost nothing. Not even the correct spelling. Even now my computer underlines Vodou (its correct name) in red to inform me of a typo.
Do you really want to be free and happy - or are you addicted to your sorrow? A lot of people are addicted and they either don't know it or don't know what to do about it.
Shamanism: The Four Gates To Freedom By: ross heaven | - We know little about the origins of the Ninja, the children of darkness' - mysterious shadow-warriors who maintained their eerie mist-shrouded mountain secrecy in the Iga and Koga Provinces of Japan from around 900 AD, practicing the arts of stealth and invisibility. Legends, however, tell of the Ninja warrior's supposed descent from tengu, savage demons that were half man half crow and were able to bend the laws of nature and control the human mind.
Shamanism: The Sin Eater By: ross heaven | - When I was a child my family moved to the Herefordshire countryside, in the shadow of the Welsh Black Mountains and deep in the heart of Celtic mythology. At the edge of the village, alone and isolated from the rest of the scant community there was a small cottage, long fallen to disrepair; a place I was always warned to stay clear of. For in this cottage there lived a madman, who was somehow unclean and undesirable to the village... so they said. Inevitably I found my way to this place.

Shamanism: Ecsatic Trance Postures By: ross heaven | - Although I had practiced yoga for a number of years, I did not make much of a connection between the physical asanas as methods for exploring the world of spirit until I began working with indigenous shamans and discovered an ancient and little-known practice where body postures are used to guide what are known as shamanic journeys: special states of trance or meditation through which we can access our inner selves or, as the shamans say, journey to other worlds'.

Plant Spirit Shamanism: Pablo Amaringo The Vision Of The Plants: By: ross heaven | - The great visionary artist, Pablo Amaringo, was born in 1943 in Puerto Libertad, in the Peruvian Amazon.

One moment I am looking up at the night sky, marveling at the stars, like diamonds scattered on a jeweler's velvet, the next I am held from behind, with a blindfold across my eyes. Then I am spun three times so I am no longer certain of direction and led into a darkened room, where I will stay for five nights, always in darkness, blindfolded for most of it.
Darkness Visible: Recapitulation By: ross heaven | - Tibetan Bon shamans believe that we are already one year old when we are born. Our first year of life is spent in our conception and gestation in the womb, a time when we are conscious, aware, and learning about the world through the experiences of our parents (especially the mother, in whose energy field we reside). Their feelings and sensations are carried in the egg and sperm and then in the life force of the mother's blood. As a consequence, we are all born with certain predispositions, ...

There are no human beings, only God-beings, or rather, aspects of God waiting to be born if a unified consciousness can have aspects at all.
