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

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.

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...
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..

Only one way !
implying that Timothy needed the exhortation "to stir up the gift of God in him," being constitutionally "timid": "For God did not give us (so the Greek, namely, at our ordination or consecration) the spirit of fear." The spirit which He gave us, was not the spirit of timidity (literally, "cowardice," which is weakness), but of "power" (exhibited in a fearless "testimony" for Christ, 2Ti 1:8). "Power is the invariable accompaniment of the gift of the Holy spirit . Lu 24:49; Ac 1:8; compare Ac 6:6, "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit ," with 2Ti 1:8, "full of faith and power."
Fear is the result of "the spirit of bondage" (Ro 8:15). Fear within exaggerates the causes of fear without. "The spirit of power" is the spirit of man dwelt in by the Spirit of God imparting power; this power "casteth out fear" from ourselves, and stimulates us to try to cast it out of others (1Jo 4:18). faucet and brown...
there is no excuse for the ignorance of fear or faithless state your seeing today sis thanks God has supplied it all we just got to get away from the doubt mills thinking ..... it is impossible to please God without faith all doubt cast aside , one step at a time out side of faith sis is sin even our self me good made up stuff do you believe him ?You'll have to give up your self for him all of it..

Just Content to be a sonWith no ambition to succeed
In realms of earth, and have no need
Of popularity's acclaim
Or purchase for myself a name.
In serving Christ; for He must be
The Lord throughout eternity,
To see His face and hear His voice
And do His bidding is my choice.
Just content to be a son
A son of God without a home
To stay or go to wait or roam
Hither and yon without a plan
Led of the Spirit, not of man
I'll have no moment of praise
But I'll have peace in God's own ways.
And though I tread this earthly sod,
I walk with Him, I live in God. Just content to be a son
Misunderstood and yet I know
The path I take shall overflow
With life abundant and with grace
I only need to run the race.
With patience, waiting, seeing Him
Hearing the still small voice within,
If others want the earth to quake.
I'll hear His voice when I awake.
Just content to be a son,
No words to say, but what He says,
No work to do, but what He does,
No fear or worry, anxious care.
I live with Him, His yoke I share.
No name to make, He writes His own.
Upon the heart's pure glistening stone.
No life to live, I lay it down
I'll share His Cross, and live again

Per the study of what takes place with epignosis
cf. Heb. , ‘friend’). In Jewish practice a
group of friends formed for religious purposes. They often shared a common
weekly meal, usually on the eves of Sabbaths or holy days. It has been argued
that Christ and His disciples formed such a chaburah and that the Last Supper
was a (chaburah) meal. what he called them franko.
Cor 3:2-6...Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered
by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in
tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we
through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the
new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but
the spirit giveth life.
2 Cor 4:1-4...Therefore seeing we
have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced
the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the
word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves
to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is
hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.
"Don't ever let anyone call you `Rabbi,'
for you have only one teacher, and all of you are on the same level as brothers
and sisters. And don't address anyone here on earth as `Father,' for only God in
heaven is your spiritual Father. And don't let anyone call you `Master,' for
there is only one master, the Messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant.
" (Matthew 23:8-11, NLT)
The Corinthians were apparently separating into factions according to whom they considered was the most authoritative teacher. They were following after men, and for that reason Paul took issue with them. Further in his letter he goes on to challenge them by describing this kind of mindset as carnal and fleshly rather than spiritual:
"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?" (1 Cor. 3:1-4)

1700’s
The the fourth phase captures the
full weight of what I been speaking of , all religious truths are
doubtable. even the fundamental truths are . The existence of God no
but reason can prove his existence cheers finally , no man can
prove him by reason , The impression of God is kept up by experience . not
by logic , remember what I said 1 Corinthian 1-4 has nothing to do with reason
philosophy witch craft or us bending the truth.. The life is wholly
a revelatory God who aids that which operates by faith . faith pleases
God. The word wicc a or witch craft was used by Paul when the Galatians we
seeking to bend the truth, of grace and epignosis , back to mere human to power philosophy which blurr and muddy the waters of spirit led ..

wicca
Question: "What is Wicca? Is Wicca witchcraft?"
Answer: Wicca is a neo-pagan religion that has been growing in popularity and acceptance in the United States and Europe. There are many websites and books claiming to teach “real” Wicca, but the truth is, there is no consensus among Wiccans as to what the religion is all about. The reason for this is that Wicca, as it is practiced now, is only about 50 years old. Wicca is a belief system that Briton Gerald Gardner cobbled together in the 1940s and 1950s from a variety of religious traditions and beliefs as well as Freemason rituals. Since Gardner published several books espousing his system of worship, many offshoots and variations of Wicca have sprung up. Some Wiccans are polytheistic, worshipping more than one deity, while others worship only the “God” or the “Goddess.” Still other Wiccans worship nature, and call it Gaea, after the Greek earth goddess. Some Wiccans pick and choose parts of Christian doctrine to embrace, while others totally reject Christianity. Most practitioners of Wicca believe in reincarnation.
Most Wiccans will vehemently deny that Satan is part of their pantheon, citing major doctrinal differences between themselves and Satanists. Wiccans generally promote moral relativity, disdaining labels like “good” and “evil” and “right” or “wrong.” Wicca has one law or rule, called the Rede: “Do what ye will, harm ye none.” At first blush, the Rede seems like complete, uninhibited personal license. You can do whatever you want, as long as no one gets hurt; however, Wiccans are quick to point out that the ripple effect of one’s actions can carry far-reaching consequences. They articulate this principle in the Three-fold Law, which says, "All good that a person does to another returns three-fold in this life; harm is also returned three-fold."
One major factor that contributes to the abiding fascination with Wicca is the purported use of spells and magick (a deliberate misspelling intended to separate Wiccans from magicians and illusionists). Curiosity seekers, as well as spiritual neophytes, are most eager to delve into these mysteries. Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft, but those that do claim magick is to them what prayer is to a Christian. The difference between the two is that Wiccans claim magick is simply using their minds to control matter, or they are appealing to their favorite deity to do them a favor, while Christians call upon an omnipotent, omnipresent God to heal people and to intervene and work in their lives. Because the Rede disallows witches from hurting others and the Three-fold Law spells out the consequences for Rede-breakers, witches who practice magick prefer to call themselves “nature witches” or “white witches” to further distance themselves from Satanists.
Wicca is basically a religion that is about minding your own business and living peaceably with your neighbors and environment. Wiccans are eager to draw parallels between themselves and biblical Christianity for the sake of earning credibility, but what does the Bible have to say about this religion? You won’t find the word “wicca” in the Bible, so let’s evaluate the beliefs in light of what God says about them.
Wiccan spells are idolism—Romans 1:25 says, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things, rather than the Creator…” Who wants to settle for second best? In Isaiah 40, God paints a picture of how much greater the Creator is than His creation. If you are worshipping anything besides the Creator, you are not only spinning your wheels, you are guilty of idolatry.
Wiccan spells bring false hope. Hebrews 9:27 says, “…Man is destined to die once, after that, to face judgment.” God says we get one chance at life, and that is it. There are no do-overs. If we don’t accept God’s gift of Jesus in our lifetime, He judges us as unwilling to be in His presence, and we are sent to hell.
Wiccan spells bring disillusionment. Mark 7:8 says, “You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.” God is God, and we are not. We have a decision to make. Are we going to take God at His word and adopt His worldview, or are we not? Knowing God takes a lot of discipline. Wicca is a religion that takes a pack of lies, ties it in a romantic ribbon, and searches out a well-intentioned, but lazy and gullible mark to sell its hollow doctrines.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, “Let no one be found among you who… practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells…Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD...” Wicca witchcraft is a sin, and God hates it. Why? Because it is an attempt to cut off our dependence on God and get answers apart from Him.
Sin isn’t just a heinous, socially disagreeable action. Sin is our decision to disagree with God on any topic—to rebel against Him. Sin is saying, “God, I want to live my life my way.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death…” This isn’t bodily death, this is spiritual death: eternal separation from God and all the blessings that His presence brings. This is the definition of hell: the absence of God’s presence. That is what our sin gains for us.
Thankfully, Romans 6:23 doesn’t end there. It goes on to say, “…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God knew that we would all rebel in one way or another, and He provided a way for us to avoid that separation—through faith in Jesus Christ. Wicca witchcraft is nothing more than another lie from Satan, the enemy of our souls, who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
