What is Liberation Theology? Should freedom from poverty be the focus of the Christian church?

What is Liberation Theology?
Should freedom from poverty be the focus of the Christian church?

Yes and when i was homeless the church did help me
Liberation theology at one time was called a strange combination of Marxism and Christianity
They are not the same. Marxists believe in violent revolution which usually starts civil wars
Christians run charities and some of their missionary work involves helping poor people in third world countries, hospitals and helping people get health care, soup kitchens, homeless shelters.
Pope John Paul II spoke out against the world bank at the interest it was collecting from poor countries especially in Africa.

How might somebody have been led in prayer in the Church of England in Victorian times?

I’m writing a Gothic novel opening, and one of my characters is about to be led in a prayer by his vicar. He’s been walked through the Lord’s Prayer, but I’m not sure how they would begin the "personal" element of the prayer. Would it even be feasible?

The Church of England normally follows a structured format as laid down in the book of Common Prayer which dates from the 16th C.
The bidding prayer starts with some formalities but the vicar/rector/priest can then go on to invite the congregations to pray for important current issues; for instance ‘Let us pray for the soul of Joe Bloggs (or any parishioner who had died within the the last week) who departed this life…’
He might continue with inviting the congregation to pray for victims of war, natural disasters etc.

Why does prayer work better for athletes than it does for ordinary folk who are dying of starvation?

I ask because I’ve noticed a lot of football players thanking God for their touchdowns lately. Haven’t seen many people with distended bellies and flies swirling around their eyes doing the same.

Maybe it’s the liberal media’s fault for slanting the issue of prayer and not covering the entire story.

Your input is always welcome, and, as always, if/when you receive a thumbs up or down – it wasn’t me.

Thanks for answering.

It doesn’t.

Example: 10 people are in a race. All are of the same religion, and pray to win.

How many prayers will be answered?

(I know, some people say "it was answered, but not the way you wanted…". This is a cop out. It means "prayer is pointless". Ya know, since god does what he wants anyhow)>

Can you show infant baptism to be wrong?

I would like to invite you to visit my website at the link given below in order to obtain a paper on the matter of baptism. This paper compares believer’s baptism to infant baptism. I personally believe that the infant baptism is the Scriptural practice. I would love to have you take a look at this paper and share your thoughts on it with me. The paper can be found at:

Thank you!

"With soap, baptism is a good thing." – Ingersol

Do Christians realize grace enables us to fulfill the Law, as opposed to freeing us from it?

Hence, Jesus & the Apostles all kept kosher, observed the Scriptural Sabbath & studied Torah.
Didn’t Jesus then teach Christians to do as He did? So, why do Christians do none of what He taught?
Slinkyfairy, the people of Israel are the Scapegoat of the world. We Have been & continue to be sacrificed.
Laff, technically; yes, He did. They call it being born again.
Reese, since you claim baptism is being born again, then the theif who was not baptised yet Jesus said he’d be in Paradise with Him; how do you explain his access to Heaven?
Bob T; go study Peters’ vision in context. 1) Nowhere does Peter claim to have eaten pork. 2) The vision had to do with unclean Gentiles (such as yourself) being given the faith of the Jews.

I don’t know Sawyer! You would think they should want to do what Jesus did! I have a feeling Christianity looks so much different than it did in the days of Christ and the Apostles! The Law is an important part of who God’s people were and continue to be. Because it set a standard that we all should strive to keep.There SHOULD be a standard of pure and undefiled worship that we are not seeing in Christianity today! Wonderful question! May the Lord bless you!

Judgement Day Is very near

The Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Judgment Day, or Day of the Lord in Christian theology, is the final and eternal judgement by God of all nations.[1] It will take place after the resurrection of the dead and the Second Coming (Revelation 20:12–15). This belief has inspired numerous artistic depictions. There is little agreement among Christian denominations in Christian eschatology as to what happens after death and before the Last Judgment.

The doctrine and iconographic depiction of the “Last Judgment” are drawn from many passages from the apocalyptic sections of the Bible. It appears most directly in The Sheep and the Goats section of the Gospel of Matthew where the judgment is entirely based on help given or refused to “the least of these”:[citation needed]
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and He will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at His right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” … “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
Then He will say to those at His left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” … “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25:31-36, 40-43, 45-46 NRSV)
The doctrine is further supported by passages in Daniel, Isaiah and the Revelation of Saint John the Divine..Click Here to read the rest of the story

Fabricate Terror

The Media has a way of portraying a terrorist as an Islamic fundamentalist who envies the rights and freedoms given to those who live in America. I want you to diminish the subliminal and commercial images in you brain and open mindfully read this passage. The definition of a terrorist is someone who is someone who causes terror upon others. A suicide bomber driving a car into an embassy is not the only form of terrorism. There is a man whose face is hidden from the public. This man can be serving the Legislative branch of our government. It could be a guy in living in a big white house. There is even a chance that this man can be your neighbor, but you will never know.

Islam. What are the first images that enter your brain? You instantly picture a man with a beard and vile facial expressions, women are fully veiled, and children are held against their will, countries that are going through economic drought and a system with laws that defy humanity. A misinterpreted idea implanted in your brain.

Terrorism in the Middle East is NOT BASED ON RELIGION. It is based on an interpretation of a religion. Interpretation is dependant on mentality. Your mentality is influenced by your surroundings. In a way it is also manipulated by politics. A cycle of pessimism controls the lands to due to its recent history.

Before the crusades, the Islamic empire was the most advanced and intellectual region of their time. They brought the first hospitals, mathematical methods/formulas, architecture, first medicines, even the first documented philosophy for feminism. After the crusades, the European empires went through an era of Enlightenment and Renaissance. They discovered through the crusades that they were far behind due to the power of the Catholic Church. The people with in their hemisphere were still in denial over the solar system. History books claim that they inherit most of their ideas from Asia and Africa because the trade routes in the Middle East. They refuse to acknowledge what ideas were adopted from the Middle East.

Most of the theories on medicine were gained from the Middle East. John Locke was a well known philosopher whose idea strongly influenced the constitution of our country. His belief in liberty, pursuit of property, and right to replace government with a new one came from The Ottoman Empire. The empire’s economy was weakened from alternate sea routes through The New World and Asia. The Middle East was politically influenced by manipulation from intimidation tactics formed after the crusades. There were new forms of technology and a completely different age that neglected the Middle East. The Middle East’s influence on the world slowly vanished.

Through out the age of imperialism through the end of the cold war the Middle East grew a passionate form of hatred towards the super powers of the world. Greed from foreign occupation and political influence, the Middle East suddenly grew to understand the reality of their situation. Iran’s government was manipulated for oil, Saudi Arabia still holds a grudge on England from previous history, the issues in Palestine, Egypt was fooled into debt from France for the construction of the Suez Canal, Afghanistan was used by America, etc… Islam promotes a concept of brotherhood that brings them together, but the outcome can never become positive when you approach an issue negatively. They justify every action with religion, but their laws are in reality constructed by POLITICS.

Mullahs in Islamic governments have gained much power. Many people perceived the corruption of a capitalistic society around liberalism. Eventually people saw the liberal lifestyle as an opposition of Islam, but modernization would have never existed if it weren’t for the Islamic Empires. Remember, religion is based on interpretation but politics formed it into a tool used to control their people. There is a cycle of pessimistic philosophies that are easily influenced. The chaos with in the areas of the Middle East can be repaired if ignorance is demolished, but it is difficult when most of the people are very emotional. Aristotle was the one who stated the emotions overrides logic.

The ignorance of a manipulated soldier part of Al Queda no different then the intellectual limitation conveyed with in the minds of U.S troops. This does not include the lower class citizens who need financial security. Then again, most of the soldiers’ part of both sides has suffered from poverty. Both believe they should die for a cause that does not exist. The leaders from both militant forces are rich executives. For example Osama and Bush, Osama is a billionaire and Bush is strongly connected with oil industries. Their “rivalry” was sparked by business, but the media makes it appear like we are defending freedom. These are same tactics used to fabricate the cold war.

They are referred to as “terrorist”. Terrorism is the idea of causing terror. America is the number one supplier of manufactured weaponry in the entire world. Some times, you have to look at a complex issue in the simplest forms to establish an opinion. We prohibit the idea of countries creating weapons of mass destruction. Iran is a threat to us, but we will not tolerate those creating weapons. If you look at this conflict in Iran’s perspective, you will see the hypocrisy. America has numerous weapons of mass destruction. Iran wants only two, but their scrutinized from just the THOUGHT of using one WHEN WE HAVE ALREADY DESIGNATED SEVERAL DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, villages in Afghanistan, areas with in Iraq, etc…

Issues must be seen from every angle of the problem. Perception is a fundamental principle towards intelligence and the greatest enemy of ignorance.Look beyond what you hear from the media. Allow the voices of the deceased (whose lives and human rights have been neglected) to echo in your search for the truth. The truth is hidden, but it is not lost. There is only one purpose of the passage and that is to encourage you to READ!

She is the invisible and constant presence that sustains the world, linking form and name, holding them in interdependence. There is nothing impossible for Her She is the Universal Goddess.

WIKIPAEDIA –“The real purpose of the Paryushan is to purify our soul by staying closer to our own soul, to look at our faults, to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes we have committed, and take vows to minimise our faults. We try to forget about the needs of our body and our business so that we can concentrate on our-self. Swetambers celebrate eight days of Paryushan and the last day is called Samvastsari. In these eight days most of Jains keep fast in many ways and all Jains keep fast on Last day of Paryushan. The process of shedding our KARMAS really begins by asking for forgiveness with true feelings and to vow not to repeat mistakes. The quality of the forgiveness requires humility and suppression of anger.”

Go! put off holiness,/And put on intellect… Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings.

An infinite array of events that are, impossible to foresee or control affect returns — currency meltdowns, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and 100-year storms (which have a way of occurring every five years!). Logic and rational thinking rarely factor into the mix. As was seen in the dot corn era, a company’s underlying strength, reflected by such variables as profitability, earning prospects and market share, may have far less effect on share price than mindless exuberance. How else can we account for the swings and gyrations in the stock market in recent years?”

WILLIAM LAW –“A life devoted to the interests and enjoyments of this world, spent and wasted in the slavery of earthly desires, may be truly called a dream, as having all the shortness, vanity, and delusion of a dream; only with this great difference, that when a dream is over nothing is lost but fictions and fancies; but when the dream of life is ended only by death, all that eternity is lost, for which we were brought into being.”

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH –“The World is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; little we see in Nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not — Great God!

Everyone lets the present moment slip by then looks for it as though he thought it were somewhere else. No one seems to have noticed this fact.

What is Liberation Theology? Should freedom from poverty be the focus of the Christian church?

What is Liberation Theology?
Should freedom from poverty be the focus of the Christian church?

Yes and when i was homeless the church did help me
Liberation theology at one time was called a strange combination of Marxism and Christianity
They are not the same. Marxists believe in violent revolution which usually starts civil wars
Christians run charities and some of their missionary work involves helping poor people in third world countries, hospitals and helping people get health care, soup kitchens, homeless shelters.
Pope John Paul II spoke out against the world bank at the interest it was collecting from poor countries especially in Africa.
