Names of God in Judaism. The Tetragrammaton (YHWH)[edit] The Tetragrammaton in Phoenician (1100 BCE to 300 CE), Aramaic (10th Century BCE to 0) and modern Hebrew scripts. The name of God in Judaism used most often in the Hebrew Bible is the four-letter name יהוה (YHWH), also known as the Tetragrammaton (Greek for "four letters").
The Tetragrammaton appears 6,828 times in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia edition of the Hebrew Masoretic Text. It first appears at Genesis 2:4 and is usually translated as the LORD in many English language Bibles, although Jehovah or Yahweh are employed in others. An early depiction of the Tetragrammaton—circa 600 BCE. Portion of column 19 of the Psalms Scroll (Tehilim) from Qumran Cave 11. The name ceased to be pronounced in Second Temple Judaism, by the 3rd century BCE.[2] Rabbinical Judaism teaches that the name is forbidden to be uttered except by the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) in the inner sanctum (Kodesh ha-Kadoshim, or Holy of Holies) of the Temple on Yom Kippur.
Yah[edit] IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE SOUND. The King James Bible is more than 400 years old, but the music of its sentences still rings out. What exactly made it so good? Ann Wroe gives chapter and verse From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Spring 2011 Like many Catholics, I came late to the King James Bible. The King James now breathes venerability. When it appeared, moreover, it was already familiar, in the sense that it borrowed freely from William Tyndale’s great translation of a century before. In both his time and theirs this was a modern translation, the living language of streets, docks, workshops, fields. By the same token, the reader of the King James lives vicariously in a world of solid certainties.
English, of course, was richer in those days, full of neesings and axletrees, habergeons and gazingstocks, if indeed a gazingstock has a plural. "Crisping pins" have now been swallowed up (in the Good News version) in "fine robes, gowns, cloaks and purses". Literature | 21L.458 The Bible, Spring 2007 | Lecture Notes. Occasionalism. Géraud de Cordemoy. Géraud de Cordemoy (October 6, 1626, Paris – October 15, 1684, Paris) was a French philosopher, historian and lawyer. He is mainly known for his works in metaphysics and for his theory of language. Portrait of Géraud de Cordemoy in the 1704 edition of the complete works Biography[edit] Works[edit] Cordemoy is known primarily for having rethought the Cartesian theory of causality, introducing the notion of “occasional cause” within a system of thought which remains essentially Cartesian.
He was, alongside Arnold Geulincx and Louis de La Forge,[3] the founder of what is called “occasionalism”. Body and soul are distinct by essence, their combination is occasional, and it is God who allows that the will to move my arm, for example, is translated into a movement. By body, Cordemoy means the ultimate components of matter. Publications[edit] 1691 edition of the political and historical works of Géraud de Cordemoy Bibliography[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Occasionalism. Occasionalism is a philosophical theory about causation which says that created substances cannot be efficient causes of events. Instead, all events are taken to be caused directly by God.
(A related theory, which has been called "occasional causation", also denies a link of efficient causation between mundane events, but may differ as to the identity of the true cause that replaces them.[1]) The theory states that the illusion of efficient causation between mundane events arises out of God's causing of one event after another. However, there is no necessary connection between the two: it is not that the first event causes God to cause the second event: rather, God first causes one and then causes the other. Islamic theological schools[edit] The doctrine first reached prominence in the Islamic theological schools of Iraq, especially in Basra.

Life[edit] Her biographer and a contemporary, Bishop Jose Jimenez Samaniego, was a longtime friend of the Coronel family, and records that even as a young girl she was filled with divine knowledge. From her early years, he writes, she was favored by ecstasies and visions and became a noted mystic of her era.[1] At the age of four, María de Ágreda was confirmed by Bishop Don Diego de Yepes, the biographer and last confessor of Saint Teresa of Ávila, because he was so impressed with María's spiritual acumen.[2] When María was fifteen the whole family entered Catholic religious institutes.
Her father, then considered an older man in his early fifties, entered the Franciscan house of San Antonio de Nalda.

Mystical bilocation[edit] Sor María de Jesús is credited by some with contributing to the evangelization of the Jumano Indians in what is today Texas. Incorruptible body and sainthood process[edit] The Blue Nun, Mystical Missionary to the Indians. By Jay W. Sharp Author of Texas Unexplained Of all the tales of lost treasure, ghosts, inexplicable lights, apparitions, spirit horses, unsolved murders and disappearances across the Southwest, the legend of María Jesus de Ágreda - the fabled "Lady in Blue" or "Blue Nun" - surely ranks among the most strange and mysterious of them all.
A Spanish nun who, physically, never left her convent in her country's province of Soria, she nevertheless purportedly traveled by spirit - a phenomenon called "bi-location" or "teleportation" - by the Church to minister to Indians in Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas. She left an enduring mark on the folklore of the desert.

Ecstatic with the family decision, María quit her plans to enter the Sisters of Teresa's Convent. Impossible, he thought. Mystical City of God. The Mystical City of God is a book written in the 17th-century by the Franciscan nun, Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda. In 1673, María de Ágreda was declared venerable soon after her death, but the process of her beatification has yet to be completed.[2] Beatification and canonization do not authenticate revelations, however.[3] Controversy[edit] The book is divisive among Catholics for similar reasons to the Poem of the Man God for claiming Jesus and Mary made lengthy conversations, whereas the Gospel presents them as simple and humble.[4] In addition, Chapter 3 of Book 8 claims Mark the Evangelist wrote his Gospel in Hebrew while in Palestine, then translated his Gospel into Latin while in Rome;[5] whereas it is Sacred Tradition that Mark wrote his Gospel in Greek while in Rome.[6] References[edit] Jump up ^ Mary for Evangelicals By Tim S.
Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Bilocation. (Latin bis, twice, and locatio, place.) I. The question whether the same finite being (especially a body) can be at once in two (bilocation) or more (replication, multilocation) totally different places grew out of the Catholic doctrine on the Eucharist. According to this Christ is truly, really, and substantially present in every consecrated Host wheresoever located. In the endeavour to connect this fact of faith with the other conceptions of the Catholic mind theologians make the following distinctions: The place of a body is the surface of the body or bodies immediately surrounding and in contact with the located body.A physical body is in place commensurably (circumscriptively) inasmuch as the individual portions of its exterior surfaces answer singly to the corresponding portions of the immediately environing surfaces of the body or bodies that constitute its place.A being is definitively in place when it is entire in every portion of the space it occupies.
II. Bilocation. Roman Catholic Mariology. This article is about Roman Catholic perspectives; for general Christian views, see Mariology. Roman Catholic Mariology is the systematic study of the person of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of her place in the economy of salvation, within the theology of the Catholic Church.[1][2][3] In the Catholic perspective, Mary has a precise place in the plan of salvation and a special place within tradition and devotion.[4][5][6] She is seen as having a singular dignity, and receives a higher level of veneration than all other saints.[7] Roman Catholic Mariology thus studies not only her life but also the veneration of her in daily life, prayer, hymns, art (where she has been a favorite topic), music, and architecture in modern and ancient Christianity throughout the ages.[8][9][10][11] Study of Mary and her place in the Church[edit] Context and components[edit] Maximalism and minimalism[edit] Mariology and Christology[edit] History and development[edit] Dogmatic teachings[edit] Mother of God[edit]
Kircherianum. An article about tarantism, i.e. the disease that was belived to be caused by the bite of the Lycosa Tarantula , the big European wolf spider. This mysterious disease and its causes seems to have been one of Kirchers favourite subjects: There are quite extensive writings about it in both Magnes, Phonurgia Nova and Musurgia Universalis. Much of the information on the subject came from his friend Ciriaco Mattei, a learned Roman collectionist. According to Kircher, the main symptoms were: motoric disorders, difficulties to speak, sudden and dramatic changes between deep melancholy and frenzy, cold sweat, sensations of approaching death and "an irresistable desire to jump into the sea".
The disease could only be cured if the victim was held in constant movement for at least fortyeight hours. This was achieved by forcing him or her to dance to certain tunes, today known as Tarantellas. Of course, the above contains quite a large amount of mumbo-jumbo. Zita. Life[edit] Saint Zita was born in Tuscany in the village of Monsagrati, not far from Lucca where, at the age of 12, she became a servant in the Fatinelli household. For a long time, she was unjustly despised, overburdened, reviled, and often beaten by her employers and fellow servants for her hard work and obvious goodness. The incessant ill-usage, however, was powerless to deprive her of her inward peace, her love of those who wronged her, and her respect for her employers. By this meek and humble self-restraint, Zita at last succeeded in overcoming the malice of her fellow-servants and her employers, so much so that she was placed in charge of all the affairs of the house.
Her faith had enabled her to persevere against their abuse, and her constant piety gradually moved the family to a religious awakening. Zita often said to others that devotion is false if slothful. One anecdote relates a story of Zita giving her own food or that of her master to the poor. Death and canonization[edit] Islamic schools and branches. Major schools and branches of Islam.[1] This article summarizes the different branches and Schools of jurisprudence in Islam. While all branches recognize the Qur'an, they differ in which other authorities they acknowledge. This article also summarizes Islamism – the view that Islam is also a political system – and Liberal movements within Islam based on Ijtihad or interpretation of the scriptures.
Sunni Islam[edit] Main article: Sunni Islam Sunni Muslims are the largest denomination of Islam and are known as Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamā‘h or simply as Ahl as-Sunnah. The word Sunni comes from the word sunnah, which means the teachings and actions or examples of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Schools of Sunni jurisprudence[edit] Madhhab is an Islamic term that refers to a school of thought or religious jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.

Here followeth, the Life of S. Paul the first Hermit. S. Paul which was the first hermit as S. Jerome writeth, was in the time of Decius and Valerianus, emperors, the year of the incarnation of our Lord two hundred and fifty-six. This holy man, S. Margaret the Virgin. Margaret the Virgin-Martyr, known as Margaret of Antioch (in Pisidia) in the West, and as and Saint Marina the Great-Martyr (Greek: Ἁγία Μαρίνα) in the East, is celebrated as a saint by the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches on July 20 and on July 17 in the Orthodox Church.
Her historical existence has been questioned. She was declared apocryphal by Pope Gelasius I in 494, but devotion to her revived in the West with the Crusades. She was reputed to have promised very powerful indulgences to those who wrote or read her life, or invoked her intercessions; these no doubt helped the spread of her cultus.[2] Narrative[edit] According to the version of the story in Golden Legend, she was a native of Antioch, and she was the daughter of a pagan priest named Aedesius.
Saint Margaret, as Saint Marina, with associations to the sea, 'may in turn point to an older goddess tradition', reflecting the pagan divinity Aphrodite.[4] Veneration[edit] Images[edit] Notes[edit] References[edit] The Project Gutenberg eBook of Theodicy, by G. W. Leibniz. Patristics In English Project. Augustinian hypothesis. The Augustinian hypothesis suggests that the Gospel of Matthew was written first.
The Gospel of Mark was written using Matthew as a source. Then the Gospel of Luke was written using both Mark and Matthew. The Augustinian hypothesis is a solution to the synoptic problem, which concerns the origin of the Gospels of the New Testament. The hypothesis holds that Matthew was written first, by Matthew the Evangelist (see the Gospel According to the Hebrews and the Jewish-Christian Gospels ). Mark the Evangelist wrote the Gospel of Mark second and used Matthew and the preaching of Peter as sources. Luke the Evangelist wrote the Gospel of Luke and was aware of the two Gospels that preceded him.
Unlike some competing hypotheses, this hypothesis does not rely on, nor does it argue for, the existence of any document that is not explicitly mentioned in historical testimony.
