Of the "Children of the Light," whom Fox gathered round him, and who became the pioneers of the Quaker movement, some had already discovered this direct and personal relation to God before they met him; others through his help became not only Seekers but happy Finders. Some of them were men and women of little learning; others, on the contrary, were already preachers, and versed in the theology of the day.
But they all agreed with Fox that Christianity was not a scheme of doctrine to be believed, but an experience to be entered into, and a life to be lived; and they tended, therefore, to regard Theology as a collection of "notions" of no importance, and possibly even a hindrance, to the religious life. Fox himself appears to have known nothing of Church history; both he and his friends, to whom the Sun of Righteousness had arisen with healing in his wings, regarded the Christian centuries since the first as merely a "dark night of apostasy." In comparison with the Light that they felt shining in their own souls, and the path of obedience which it required of them, the age-long disputes of Churchmen on points of doctrine seemed to them of no account. That would prove to be very true down through the ages
In 1650 Fox was taken before the magistrates at Derby for preaching in a "steeple house" after the regular preacher had closed his sermon, and he writes: "I told them all their preaching, baptism and sacrifices would never sanctify them; and bid them look unto Christ in them, and not unto men; for it is Christ that sanctifies. Then they ran into many words ; but I told them they were not to dispute of God and Christ, but to obey Him."3 This is characteristic and significant. Fox did not compromise for money, he had not sold out, we know of Rosicrucian or the Templars which the others did, for their forms and power.. nor was he engaged the burnings of those spoke the truth, such Tyndale, over a few words that exposed the false hoods added and Servetus by Beza.
I enjoined his deeply tied to the relationship with Christ over the the dramatized systems of theology and conflict corruption of translation's used to shift terms and slant things that was appointed out of the monarchies forms to be ove5 the people but rather as it was for us to be as our master laden in love and care for those who are with us we have left he path way of truth and spirit for long time .
A true Quaker given to truth and spirit led ...I could no agree more.
Narrow way a mission for truth and spirit led life not as institutionalized but as free men all able men and women to serve God as he directs through truth portrayed in the wonderful passages in the Kj3 1 Corinthians 1-4, 2 Corinthians 2-3.
In the end we will be ask did we do what we were ask to do????, question we first need to realize is our personal awareness? are we so? not just the recitation of dogma or formalism which is not personal, getting back to the life he speaks of is one that is aware of his presence in them ..

DOUBLE TALK?
Doubt translates a Greek word that
means literally to "double
think"or to divide the mind between different
possibilities. In other words, Peter mixed faith and non-faith in his mind. The
faith that Jesus calls people to means have no doubt about
something.
says it so well, here ye go enjoy the
mission...
Faith is a verb, as we say. Or simply,
"The just shall live by faith. NARROWWAY 2011 is faith
operative.

thank the guy quoting me heavily on their sight praise God I knew it would not

those hard truths..
The question of terms and power came up so we decide to dig in and research the actions terms changed, the danger of lust for power, we live in an age where most facts have been laid aside, the superficial state we now live in largely emotionally charged lack of depth..The question of those who sought the truths were destroyed in so doing the end results are as follows.
The data above is sad drams of power and wealth gatehring that caused him and few others to be burnt , caring is not career secular process , JESUS was not part of the religious industry of his day it had long since lost it's way... through extensive compromise and corruption...
I agree with papais when he was ask to produce the scriptures all of them he said he had one , he ask the inflamed questionnaire"why do keep looking on the out side for what can only exist on the inside " ? the holy was his teacher and he knew it, that came the question that rattled logician's minds , they were conscious of the new indwelling it was not another platonic philosophy they had to ascribe to but knew the mind of their God..
I hear God all the time I can barely sleep The spirit of God constantly intouch. amazing we have stumbled over that for centuries and wrote mtns of how to books, and yet we are no closer than we were the day the logician misled so many in their pagan Greek education walked away from those who knew the truth and direct union to seek out side proof of what can only take place in the truth of rebirth of that which is dead, to come alive to God by grace through faith .
We hope you enjoy a drop of real truths sections, avoiding the emotionally charged assumption contortions. Flowing life of Christ is servant hood, I would agree perhaps the Quaker by far was most close sect, hugenants and the commissar's in France all desired the real relationship, over the political ambiguous agendas, not the mergence of pagan Greek philosophy, but true union , since to the spirit led body is based on servant hood which dominated their lives, free of the blood shed that came for money and power .
We hold to the truth as much as we can know, narrowway 2011 is not sold out thanks we hope many will regain the real once spirit led body and realize that the entire body is once again the Chaber of Christ union in their awareness and faith led lives.
Taking a look at what took place in the game for power.

The word
"church" was first used by Theodore Beza in 1556, a Protestant, who followed
John Calvin at Geneva, Switzerland. As a Presbyterian, Beza believed in the idea
of a catholic church and its hierarchal form of government and therefore chose
to support this false concept by using the word "church" instead of "assembly."
The reason is obvious in that the use of the word "congregation" or "assembly"
would not support his church's hierarchical form of church government.
William
Whittingham's Testament of 1557 followed Beza's usage of "church" and was
actually the first edition of the Geneva Bible and was a revision of the Tyndale
New Testament.
Because the Geneva
Bible was printed in Europe and not in England the English people desired a
Bible published in their native country. This was the reason for the next
English Bible, the Bishops Bible (1568) which was a revision of the Geneva Bible
and this translation continued the use of the term "church" as has majority of
subsequent English translations including the King James Version. This shows
that the use of the word "church" instead of "assembly" or "congregation" came
from those who had a bias towards a hierarchical and unscriptural form of church
government. To have translated the word "ekklesia" accurately into "assembly" or
congregation" would have exposed their form of church government as being in
error.
Tragic the actual terms used in the once spirit led body shifted dramatically into the dictatorial terms and actions, the words such as chaber, chauteruth,had then left the body as servants in the original forms it would shift monarchical structures not found in the Greek word of papias or the actual older words used by history when he described the servant an hood lead derived out of faith rather business .
Had shifted into business and power, the other older form what implied a deep personal connection to the Christ and his Spirit recently came up in one Derek princes articles which I love his definition coincides neck to neck with
Hopwood's work that describes the early spirit led body from the later twisted forms used to usurp authority over the people.. the main terms were altered but are now being defined by many seeking to regain their place , As part of functional body not just spectators able to under stand the personal connect put forth in the 1 Corinthians 1-5 letter , in which those people knew be fore they had print many hundreds of years in many cases most was oral, sir, and led of God directly as hopwood said from the early data they were "shot through and through of the spirit".
The data above is sad drams of power and wealth gatehring that caused him and few others to be burnt , caring is not career secular process , JESUS was not part of the religious industry of his day it had long since lost it's way... through extensive compromise and corruption...
