Theological Branch: Eschatology



Topic: *Civil Control and Liberty of Conscious as a stepping stone to Worshipping other gods...*


Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater favor than in former years. There is an increasing indifference concerning the doctrines that separate the reformed churches from the papal hierarchy; 

*the opinion is gaining ground that, after all, we do not differ so widely upon vital points as has been supposed*, 

and that *a little concession on our part will bring us into a better understanding with Rome.*

```The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which has been so dearly purchased.```


*_They taught their children to abhor popery, and held that to remain at peace with Rome would be disloyalty to God_*

 But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed.
 The defenders of popery declare that she has been maligned; and the Protestant world is inclined to accept the statement.

*Many urge that it is unjust to judge the Romish Church* of today by the abominations and absurdities that marked her reign during the centuries of ignorance and darkness.

They excuse her horrible cruelty as the result of the barbarism of the times, and plead that civilization has changed her sentiments.

Have these persons forgotten the claim of infallibility,

 _for eight hundred years put forth by this haughty power? So far from relinquishing this claim, the church in the nineteenth century has affirmed it with greater positiveness than ever before._

```As Rome asserts that she has never erred, and never can err, how can she renounce the principles which governed her course in past ages?```

*BEcho February 1,  1887, par. 1 - BEcho February 1,  1887, par. 3*

In March this year the Papacy and other Christian institutions will celebrate 1700 years since the  installation of the first Sunday law in 321AD by the Emperor Constantine.

*Choose Ye this day who controls you, the God of Heaven or the Papacy.*

Theological Branch: Kairology

Topic: *Time from a Greek Perspective. Part 1.* Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the *times of refreshing* shall come from the presence of the Lord;” (Acts 3:19) The ancient Greeks had two words for marking the differences between the experiences of time: kronos and kairos. "As usual, the Greeks were ahead of us in thinking and speaking about such conundrums. Where we use one word to describe a whole range of things, they had the good sense to use different words to mark distinctions in reality and in experience. “Kronos (or Chronos in the English spelling, from which we take our word chronology) is sequential time. Kronos is the time of clocks and calendars; it can be quantified and measured. Kronos is linear, moving inexorably out of the determinate past toward the determined future, and has no freedom.  Kairos is numinous time. Kairos is a time of festivals and fantasies; it cannot be controlled or possessed. Kairos is circular

The week has been mostly describes as the creation of Jewish theology. However it is undeniable that the Sabbath day has been kept in the memories of the people through the Hebrew economy. Outside the Hebrew society it is the Germanic Tribes in Europe that had a seven day cycle, probably derived from the Helenestic culture through Alexandria  the capital city of the sciences in the 4th century BC.
