The Story of Monasticism; or, What Monastics Can Teach Us
  • Christian monasticism is the devotional practice of Christians who live ascetic and typically cloistered lives dedicated to Christian worship. It began to develop early in the history of the Christian Church, modeled upon scriptural examples and ideals, including those in the Old Testament, but not mandated as an institution in the scriptures.  The Eastern monasteries were built on self-denial, work and prayer, and solitude.  The Western monasteries were communal and everyday life within the community. They were living a life of obedience, along with prayer and work.  Scripture-based learning. Farming.  They were islands of knowledge and order.   Both types fled the world. They ramped up, big time, during the dark ages.  They both produced Biblically and secular manuscripts.  The work of God, and prayer.
  • The inconsistencies and contradictions within the biblical text are there for you to work out.  Vagueness has its purpose.  The Jewish Torah, with its 613 rules and resolutions, is not in the Christian Bible.   The mural law dictums are included.  God only tests; he does not tempt.  In the Protestant bibles, faith trumps good works.
  • The Roman Catholic Church in Medieval Europe – Brewminate
During the Middle Ages, a period between the fall of ancient Rome in 476 A.D. and the beginning of the 14th century, Europeans made few advances in science and art.  Also known as the “Dark Ages,” the era is often branded as a time of war, ignorance, famine, and pandemics such as the Black DeathRenaissance” is a French word meaning “rebirth.” The period is called by this name because, at that time, people started taking an interest in the learning of ancient times, in particular, the teaching of Ancient Greece and Rome. The Renaissance was seen as a “rebirth” of that learning.  Humanism was started.

The Reformation began in 1517 when a German monk called Martin Luther protested about the Catholic Church. His followers became known as Protestants. Many people and governments adopted the new Protestant ideas, while others remained faithful to the Catholic Church. This led to a split in the Church. The Protestant Reformation that Martin Luther sparked continued into the next century. The Catholic Church eliminated the sale of indulgences and other abuses that Luther had attacked. Catholics also formed their Counter-Reformation that used both persuasion and violence to turn back Protestantism.  The most outstanding leaders of the Reformation undoubtedly were Martin Luther and John Calvin. Martin Luther precipitated the Reformation with his critiques of both the practices and the theology of the Roman Catholic Church. John Calvin was the most crucial figure in the second generation of the Reformation, and his interpretation of Christianity, known as Calvinism, profoundly influenced many areas of Protestant thought. Other statistics included Pope Leo X, who excommunicated Luther; the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who essentially declared war on Protestantism; Henry VIII, king of England, who presided over establishing an independent Church of England; and Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss reformer.

  • Counter-Reformation, also called Catholic Reformation or Catholic Revival, in the history of Christianity, the Roman Catholic efforts directed in the 16th and early 17th centuries both against the Protestant Reformation and toward internal renewal. Counter-Reformation took place during roughly the same period as the Protestant Reformation.
  • The effects of the CounterReformation on European society. Protestant groups develop. Church leaders reformed the Catholic Church. Anti-Semitism increased, and religious conflicts spread across Europe.
  • Council of Trent, the 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, was held in three parts from 1545 to 1563. Despite internal strife and two lengthy interruptions, the panel was a vital part of the Counter-Reformation and played a crucial role in revitalizing the Roman Catholic Church in many parts of Europe.  The Council of Trent took place in the city of Trent (Trento) in northern Italy

  • The Jewish Torah had the five books of Moses, 21 books of the prophets, and 13 books of writings = 39 books,
  • After the Reformation, the Protestant Bible has 39 Old Testament books, 27 books in the New Testament = 66 books.
  • The Catholic bible has 47 Old Testament and 27 New Testament = 74 books.
  • The Eastern Orthodox has 39 Old Testament books, 27 New Testament, plus 11 books from the Septuagint = 77 books.   Note:  Apocrypha (meaning not canonical) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN ALL THREE VERSIONS).

  • Herry's Journal: William Tyndale - the Translator of the Bible
  • Early Modern English Bible translations are between 1500 and 1800, the period of Early Modern English. This, the first significant period of Bible translation into the English language, began with introducing the Tyndale Bible.[8][self-published source?] The first complete edition of his New Testament was in 1526. William Tyndale used the Greek and Hebrew texts of the New Testament (NT) and Old Testament (OT) and Jerome‘s Latin translation. He was the first translator to use the printing press – this enabled the distribution of several thousand copies of his New Testament translation throughout England. Tyndale did not complete his Old Testament translation.[9]
  • Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 1509 until 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages and, in particular, his efforts to have his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon) annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII on such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated.

DNA is an information structure.    It maintains gene production and regulation to deliver the correct gene functions.  Genes are networked in a complex sequenced network.  The gene network self schedules and provides the required results.
    • Information is physical, and it represents the ultimate nature of reality. These surprisingly simple assertions have many profound consequences. Information theory is the wellspring of our contemporary digital world.  The universe is an information network. Life is an informational structure.  Quantum gravity interacts with the universe’s knowledge base.  This knowledge base stores the human consciousness bits.  Growing and keeping the knowledge bytes from the known thought reposer’s production is why this current universe exists.  The universe’s information structure built the universe.  The information structure then operates this universe.  When the universe matures, the consciousness bytes that the known thought reposers had generated are saved.  They will be used again in the next galaxy.
