Satanismo. Historia del culto al Mal

Satanismo. Historia del culto al Mal

Autor: Javier Cavanilles

Número de Páginas: 239

La historia de cómo un siervo de Dios se convirtió en un ídolo para las élites que dominan el mundo. Túnicas negras, velas, sacrificios humanos, abusos a menores... Si por algo se caracteriza la historia del satanismo es por la acumulación de tópicos. Sin embargo, la realidad es muy distinta. La creencia en la existencia de una especie del dios del mal es hija del clima político que vivieron los judíos en el periodo que transcurre entre la redacción del Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento, y que llega a su máximo apogeo con la aparición de una nueva religión fundada por un tal Jesús de Nazaret. Desde entonces y hasta hoy, serían los cristianos los verdaderos creyentes en el maligno, aunque algunos grupos han intentado reescribir su biografía y apropiárselo. La religión, la política, la literatura, la filosofía, la música o el true crime fueron moldeando la creencia del satanismo como la definición del mal, que consiguió volverse contra sus creadores y acabó alumbrando, en los años sesenta, la Iglesia de Satán.

Design, Government and Paternity

Design, Government and Paternity

Autor: Omayra Quintana

Número de Páginas: 126

This book will help you understand how to live as a son and not as a day laborer. From the beginning, God's plan was always that we be heirs, rulers and not slaves of our own sin, that we be stewards of the entire earth. In Eden was established God's perfect and irrefutable plan for man, the original design of the Father, the authority of divine government, and the fatherhood of an Abba Father. God is the architect par excellence and he designed plans for man, plans that man over time was corrupting, distorting and accommodating for his own benefit. --------------------- Este libro te ayudara a entender como vivir como hijo y no como jornalero. Desde el principio el plan de Dios fue siempre que fueramos herederos, gobernantes y no esclavos de nuestro propio pecado, que fueramos administradores de toda la Tierra. En el Eden se establecio el plan perfecto e irrefutable de Dios para el hombre, el diseno original del Padre, la autoridad del gobierno divino y la paternidad de un Abba Padre. Dios es el arquitecto por excelencia y el diseno unos planos para el hombre, planos que el hombre con el tiempo fue corrompiendo, distorsionando y acomodando para su propio beneficio.

THE REVELATION OF LORD JESUS CHRIST

THE REVELATION OF LORD JESUS CHRIST

Autor: Maria Martinez

Número de Páginas: 401

The book of Revelation or The Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ is not just a book of bad news, judgments, epidemics, great cosmic cataclysms, and a future world government full of darkness. It is also the message of the greatest love that can exist, God's love to save humanity from the terrible end that all those who did not want to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and chose to distance themselves from him will have to face. It is a book worth studying because of its placement at the end of the gospels and the Epistles. Furthermore, it represents the final act to complete the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and is the only book in the Bible that speaks of the beginning and the end of all times.

El infierno está vacío

El infierno está vacío

Autor: Agustín Méndez

Número de Páginas: 658

Entre los siglos XV y XVIII, aproximadamente 50.000 personas fueron ejecutadas en Europa tras ser culpadas del crimen de brujería. Entre los actos por los que fueron castigadas se incluían la utilización de magia nociva, el establecimiento de un pacto con Satán, haber mantenido relaciones sexuales con demonios o formar parte de un complot multitudinario y clandestino para la destrucción de la cristiandad. Lo que en la actualidad puede parecer, a primera vista, el resultado de un pasado irracional y oscurantista, en verdad era la expresión –brutal, ciertamente– de una forma de entender la naturaleza, la historia, la teología y la política distinta a la contemporánea, pero perfectamente racional, coherente con el universo cultural, intelectual y conceptual en el cual se desarrolló. Se hacía necesario un análisis de los fundamentos intelectuales de la caza de brujas, el conjunto de ideas y representaciones que permitió llevar a cabo y justificar la represión de un delito inexistente, a través de los tratados demonológicos publicados por miembros de la elite cultural (ministros religiosos, teólogos, médicos) en Inglaterra entre el siglo XVI y el XVII. Partiendo...

Furor Satanae

Furor Satanae

Autor: Fabián Alejandro Campagne , Constanza Cavallero

Número de Páginas: 521

Las doce contribuciones que integran el libro, escritas por un equipo de reconocidos expertos internacionales en la materia, plantea un ambicioso recorrido que tiene la virtud de cubrir gran parte del arco temporal que abarcó la caza de brujas europea, desde los entusiasmos iniciales de los siglos XIV y XV hasta las tardías polémicas de finales del siglo XVII. En efecto, el recorrido se inicia en la década de 1320 con la bula "Super illius specula" de Juan XXII y culmina en la década de 1690, con "De Betoverde Weereld" de Balthasar Bekker. Este trayecto tiene poco de casual. No cabe atribuir al azar el hecho de que el punto de partida del itinerario sea la curia pontificia, por entonces asentada en la cálida sede provenzal de Aviñón, ni que el punto de llegada sea la marítima y fría Ámsterdam, trinchera de la libertad de consciencia en vísperas del Siglo de las Luces. Entre estos dos extremos cronológicos, que encierran la fase de apogeo de la demonología radical y de la caza de brujas europea, Satán desplegó una panoplia infinita de rostros, máscaras y semblantes, propios de su naturaleza angélica proteiforme. Ésta, capaz de adoptar cualquier disfraz o...

Silence

Silence

Autor: P. Julissa Garcia

Número de Páginas: 130

SILENCE narrated the importance of paying attention to what we say, but not after having said it, but before. Of the maturity that each stage of our lives must include in the spiritual, work and behavioral spheres. It is the account of traveling through valleys of desolation and deserts caused by the lack of fear. In it, I leave the care of the expressions we use without taking into account the receiver we face and the wisdom we show when we are ready to hear rather than to speak when our words lack the components of love, patience, kindness, maturity, and many times truth. In addition and finally, it was my commitment marked by these lines that we learn to assume with due responsibility, authority and tolerance those assignments for which one day we prayed or that simply surprised us. Learning to say a lot and substantial in SILENCE at the right time and at the perfect time, letting God defend us from the timely response. Blessings, Julissa Garcia.

Lo único que quebrantaría la solidez de un ateo, sería la misma prueba que los cristianos precisan con premura para evitar el colapso de su doctrina y Fe: Un contacto directo con DIOS.

I Believed In Me

Autor: Ambrocio Magana

Número de Páginas: 95

I was born in a small town that at that time had about 300 inhabitants between children and adults ... I am a simple person, not very happy but not bitter. I am always willing to help those who need it; I do not wait for me to go begging, I offer help. I do not have much education I went to school for a short time. I finished sixth grade until I had 15 years old, but I remember that since I was young I liked to write stories, although I had never had the opportunity to publish them. I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more. Remember that reading gives you education and culture. A part of these stories is true. A common occurrence for some people, whether by nature or custom, is to criticize or judge others and, often we do not realize that we make that person, or their family feel bad. Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...

From Saint Thomas Aquinas to Petrarch and Erasmus

From Saint Thomas Aquinas to Petrarch and Erasmus

Autor: Mianda Cioba , Anca CrivĂȚ

Número de Páginas: 190

A very accurate symbolic representation of the way in which the intellectual as a social role expresses himself in relation to other estates within the medieval world is the exordial miniature of a Milanese Codex, the ms. Biblioteca Nationale Braidense AD XIII 30 (ca. 1400), preserving Petrarch’s moral treatise De remediis utriusque Fortunae. The symbolism of the image refers not only to the diversification of society and the recognition of this diversity as a defining vision of human community, it also casts a special light on the position of the intellectual as a public dignity, as a figure of authority, above the official foci of authority within the medieval social structure. A figure defined by the duty to know and to think for the benefit of, and perhaps instead of, a whole community, for which the act of thinking freely and the exercise of reason constitute most of the time a risky and unspeakable adventure. As a social figure dedicated exclusively to the discovery of truth and the ultimate knowledge, the intellectual is to be placed in a equidistant position with respect of all other categories, at the heart of a system of theological and philosophical values and in a...

BROKEN UMBRELLAS

Autor: Luis Alberto Henríquez Hernández

Número de Páginas: 196

Broken Umbrellas is an unusual literary work that explores human beings’ most primitive emotions and feelings through a series of different, interconnected stories. These are stories that explore madness and dementia as alternative avenues for surviving a reality that overwhelms us. The author reflects upon the value of death and freedom, and takes us through the ins and outs of repressed violence—always unjustified—but so often desired. Broken Umbrellas intends to be much more than just a collection of stories. Through its words, it seeks to offer introspective reading, rouse reflective analysis of the human spirit, and provide electrifying amusement—only for the most daring.

Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2003 (see also Studia Patristica 40, 41, 42 and 43). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Bartolomé de Las Casas

Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Bartolomé de Las Casas

Autor: Santa Arias , Eyda M. Merediz

Número de Páginas: 324

The work of Bartolomé de Las Casas poses a number of challenges in the classroom: students need help seeing the relevance of a sixteenth-century Dominican missionary to their lives, understanding his colonial-imperial context, and negotiating the apparent contradictions among his evangelizing and his varying stances on Indian and black slavery in the New World. The essays gathered in this volume show teachers how to introduce and engage with Las Casas—one of the first voices to criticize European treatment of the native populations of the Americas and crucial today to studies of imperialism, colonialism, and human rights—in a wide range of courses, undergraduate and graduate. Like all volumes in the Approaches series, this collection includes a convenient survey of original and supplementary materials and a comprehensive array of classroom tactics. The first group of essays incorporates Las Casas into the interdisciplinary classroom, while the next group focuses on teaching the Las Casas text most widely used in literature courses: the Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias, a dramatic, largely firsthand view of colonial violence. The essays that follow explore ...

The Golden Thread and other Plays

The Golden Thread and other Plays

Autor: Emilio Carballido

Número de Páginas: 256

Emilio Carballido was one of the most innovative and accomplished of Mexico's playwrights and one of the outstanding creators in the new Latin American theater. By his mid-forties he had already produced an impressive body of works in two very different veins. On the one hand, he mastered the techniques of the "well-made play." On the other, he developed a richly rewarding vein of fantasy, sometimes poetic, sometimes comic, sometimes macabre—and sometimes all three. The plays in this volume are in the latter vein, ranging from surrealist farce in "The Intermediate Zone" to the grotesqueries of "The Time and the Place," from tragicomedy in "Theseus" to the dreamlike permutations of "The Golden Thread." But even at his most fantastic, Carballido never loses his remarkable gift for characterization: his peevish Minotaur, his raffish Nahual (were-jaguar) are wholly believable monsters.

The Metaphysical Enigma: Does God Exist?

The Metaphysical Enigma: Does God Exist?

Autor: Lucas Bracco

Número de Páginas: 217

Whether part of polytheistic or monotheistic systems, the concept of God is one of humanity’s oldest attempts to explain the mysteries of life. Today, however, the idea of God feels increasingly foreign, gradually fading from the consciousness of many. The gap between humans and the divine seems to grow wider, and religion appears increasingly out of place in a world dominated by scientific culture, which directs our attention to the physical, material world. In philosophy, the question of God’s existence is a central metaphysical issue—arguably, the metaphysical issue par excellence. The term “metaphysics” derives from the Greek μετὰ [τὰ] φυσικά, meaning “beyond the physical” or “beyond nature.” Thus, metaphysics encompasses everything outside empirical knowledge—what lies beyond sensory experience. God is traditionally described as the Supreme Being and embodiment of absolute perfection, possessing qualities like omniscience, omnipotence, and supreme goodness. If He exists, He would be a unique Entity among all beings. This Supreme Being is said to be invisible, intangible, and ultimately beyond human comprehension. He is so perfect and superior ...

If you are a good reader with great desire and hunger to enrich your intellectual capacity and further increase your biblical knowledge, this book is for you. This book is designed not for any controversy but for the reader to continue to discover teachings that, for many years, have been hidden by a dense veil. At any given time, someone with crooked teachings can come to you, so you must be alert and prepared to use everything stored in the vault of your mind. I invite you to acquire this book, and I guarantee you will not regret acquiring it. Here you will find some topics with your proper deep explanations, such as uncertain birth of Christ; who carried the cross that was used to crucify Christ, Jesus or Simon; the true day and time that Christ died; what happened to the nails that were used to crucify Christ; and many more topics of great interest. Well, anyway, the prologue to this book, as much as the introduction as well as the conclusion and as well as the twenty-six chapters it contains will be of great interest to you.

Games are the constitutive elements of a space of action wherein a world emerges. For the construction of the games the group is organised according to specific structures, which make up a work network within the proposed experimental scenario.Every reflexive discourse (conceptual, informational and descriptive) on the describer's properties system will be formed, at least, of the perspectives, dispositions and distinctions in the language of the observer. In this sense, to observe the observer does not constitute a representation of...
