Triskele

This post is inspired by a friend of my mother. She had her name legally changed to Triskele when she became an American citizen (she's from Poland originally). I've never heard it used as a name before, but had the vague idea that it was the name of a symbol that involved the number three. When I looked into it and first saw the actual symbol, I thought, "Hey, I saw that at Newgrange!"The triskele (pronounced "TRYS-kee-ul" or "TRI-skee-ul", but the person I know pronounces it "TRYS-kul") is a symbol that looks like three interlocking spirals. It was carved into a number of ancient Irish buildings, including the rocks of Newgrange. Newgrange is believed to be a prehistoric tomb, although this claim is debatable. It was built sometime between 3100 and 2900 BC. Many historians believe that the building must have had some religious significance. When I visited Newgrange last summer, they showed us that the building is aligned so that the rising sun pours in through an opening above the entrance during the winter solstice.This symbol appears in other countries besides Ireland. The triskele appears throughout much of Western Europe, where the Celts are from. In Brittany (Northern France), the triskele is used as their regional symbol and is placed on many tourism and fashion items.A similar symbol called the triskelion appears in ancient Greek, Sicilian, Spanish, and Manx art. Both triskele and triskelion are Greek for "three-legged", which should give you a hint as to what a triskelion looks like. It's a bizarre image of three legs bent at the knee and joined together at the hip. It's found on ancient coins, pottery, and is an emblem on the flags of Sicily and the Ilse of Man.No one knows what the triskele meant to the ancient Pagans. In modern times it has been used to stand for a number of different things. This symbol is important to many Neo-Pagans that focus on Celtic traditions, like Celtic Reconstructist Paganism. In CRP the symbol stands for the "three realms": land, sea, and sky. It is often used to symbolize the Irish god of the sea Manannan mac Lir (probably because it kind of looks like waves, but I think it looks like a thumbprint, personally), but is sometimes used for the goddess Brigid. Wiccans sometimes interpret the symbol as the three stages of the Goddess (Maiden, Mother, and Crone). Christians have used it to represent the Holy Trinity, and it appears in many illuminated manuscripts. It has a less honorable connection as well: a variation of a triskele (three interlocking sevens) was invented by the Nazis.As I said before, I've only ever heard of this name on my mom's friend. I have no idea what her original name was or why she was so attracted to Triskele. No baby name resource I could find lists it. A quick google search came up with at least one Neo-Pagan that goes by Triskele, but that's it. My spellchecker doesn't even know what to make of it. But I think it's an awesome name for anyone, even with the tricky pronunciation. The familiar "Trish" and "Kelly" could be reasonable nicknames. For those unfamiliar with the names origin, it might not even register as a "witchy" name. Just a highly unusual one. Trinity's an accepted name, so why not Triskele?Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple spiralhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrangehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TriskelionImage Credit:http://monislawa.deviantart.com/art/Flower-Power-105768680?q=gallery%3Amonislawa%2F502214&qo=8The photo of triskeles on Newgrange is my personal photo.

Understanding The Warrior Goddess

When I tell most people my patron Goddess in the Morrigan usually their first questions is "Why would you want to worship a Goddess of war?" Those who have worked with the Great Queen will already know the Morrigan has many faces and aspects, war and battle only being one of them. But it is this attribute, one she shares with many other Dark Goddesses, that sadly makes some people question working with her. Why is it that we fear the warrior Goddess? She appears to us in many forms, and across several cultures. In Egypt she was Sekhmet, the lioness Goddess who drank the blood of her enemies. In Greek she was Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. As Durga she was called upon by the Gods to battle demons, as only she had the power and strength to defeat them. She is Kali, Oya, Andraste, Freya, Bellona, and many others. In so many cultures the warrior Goddess was revered and held sacred. She defended clan and country, her fierceness filled enemies with despair. Those she favored were blessed with courage, battle frenzy and victory. Yet now she has become to many a deity to be avoided. What has changed? Have we suddenly recognized these Goddesses as representing something dangerous or have our attitudes towards her mysteries changed? I think part of why we are afraid of the warrior Goddess is because our concept of war has drastically changed. We live in a world where we don't have to worry about our food being stolen by people in the neighboring town. The battlefields our armed forces fight and die on are often far away, leaving us with the illusion that the violence of war is something distant, only to be viewed from afar on TV. Modern warfare more often than not is motivated by political agendas, but to our ancestors war was often an aspect of everyday life and most importantly survival. In the Morrigan's case we must remember that warriors were held in high esteem in the Celtic mind and that the warrior caste was one of the highest in their society. Why? Because they kept everyone safe. Take a moment to bring some of our modern day warriors to mind: our military personnel, our police officers and firefighter. Soldiers and police officers sometimes need to use force and violence to protect us. It's part of their job. They aren't evil people because they use force. We hold them in esteem for doing a difficult and dangerous job, one that protects the rest of us and maintains peace (most of the time) in the world. In many ways this is how the warrior archetype, divine and otherwise, was seen by ancient Pagans. When we consider this the warrior Goddess isn't so unapproachable. Her nature is sometimes fierce, she is a Dark Goddess, her lessons difficult, but she is not by any means evil, nor is there any reason why modern practitioners should avoid working with her. Generally war Gods or Goddesses reflect the type of warfare their culture participated in, embodying their ideals of honor and glory on the battlefield. War itself varies from culture to culture. The highly organized warfare of the Roman legions bears little resemblance to the somewhat haphazard style of warfare the Celts participated in or for that matter to our modern day high tech approach to war. Irish warfare in particular revolved around cattle raids. Cattle where seen as the ultimate source of wealth, were used as currency to pay debts and as bride prices. The fact that Celtic warfare revolved around cattle, (and ultimately sovereignty over the land and its wealth) is reflected in their Goddess of war, as the Morrigan is usually occupied in stealing cattle, herding them or making it difficult for others to obtain them; all functions that reflect the Celtic cosmology of warfare. Oddly enough the Morrigan's male counterparts Dagda, Lugh and Bran who participated in battle do not retain a stigma for being "bloodthirsty" or "evil". The fact that the Morrigan is female and connected to battle makes her dangerous. Although women have gained equality with men in many ways we are still afraid of women who are dominate. War in the modern mind is still very much thought of as belonging to the realm of men. Women who participate in it become unfeminine and unnatural. Women today who aggressively pursue their dreams and desires, (whether that be a career or other goals in life) and who stand up for themselves are often accused of acting like men. This is especially true in the business world. Unfortunately the message our culture is sending women is that strength and power belong to the realm of men and it is unnatural for women to display these traits. Yet they can be found in warrior goddesses in cultures all around the globe. Ultimately our concept of war and that of the Celts (or any ancient culture for that matter) is vastly different. We can neither divorce Morrigan from war, nor can we call her evil for being a Goddess of battle. Like the warriors the Celts revered, she protects her people, inspires those who take a stand, and guards her children. She reflects the Celtic concept of battle and war, not our modern ones. That is not to say she cannot be called upon in this guise today, just that to understand her role as a Goddess of war we must keep in mind the culture she came from. But where does that leave the modern worshiper? Can the warrior Goddess still have a role in our lives today? Absolutely. Her role in our lives may have changed compared to that of our ancestors, but that does not mean we should abandon her mysteries. The warrior Goddess, in all her many guises, is concerned with all forms of conflict and its resolution, and her knack for bringing victory to those who invoke her make her a powerful ally when dealing with life's problems. Embracing the warrior Goddess has nothing to do with brandishing a sword or joining the military. You can be a pacifist and still work with a warrior deity. Modern warriors can be found in the most mundane places. The single mom working two jobs to provide for her family, firefighters, police officers, teachers, social workers and environmental activists, these are all warriors and draw on the power of the warrior Goddess. People who draw on an inner strength to help themselves and others, all embody the warrior spirit. The warrior Goddess challenges us to stand up and be counted, to draw on our inner strength and champion life's battles. She knows the most important wars are not the physical ones. Whether it is overcoming an obstacle in life or fighting our inner demons the warrior Goddess is there to champion our cause. Maybe the warrior Goddess will challenge you to fight a "war" against poverty by working to help low income families. Maybe your "war" will be against animal cruelty and you will feel drawn to donate time at an animal shelter. Maybe you wish to draw on her strength to settle a conflict, to end an abusive relationship, to confront sexual harassment in the work place, or negotiating a raise from your boss. Whatever you do, whatever your battle, when life has you down say a prayer to the warrior Goddess. She is always there, waiting for us to embrace her, ready to offer us victory.

Mars Another Silverback And The Sun Devil State

UPDATE: "PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE COMMENTS SECTION FOR SOME VERY INTRIGUING OBSERVATIONS AND UPDATES TO THIS STUDY..."

This symbolism is becoming "so obvious" that it can no longer be ignored. The convergence of the symbolism is becoming "so intricate" that it can no longer be interpreted as anything but suspect.

Friends, I defy anyone to explain to me "any form of logic" that says that this is all just "mere coincidence" that we're watching unfold before our very eyes, and not some sort of "spiritual convergence" (even if we can't quite make sense of it all or discern the true relevance to us Christians who are fervently waiting and watching for the Lord's return).

What in the world am I talking about? Well, only the "biggest news" to be reported yesterday, but news that was also barely acknowledged by most as though it were a ho-hum announcement.

"NASA: EVIDENCE OF LIFE ON MARS"

By RHODRI PHILLIPS and PAUL SUTHERLAND, Sun Spaceman

Published: 28 Apr 2010

NASA scientists last night unveiled compelling evidence of life on Mars. A special mission to the Red Planet has revealed the likely presence of a form of pond scum - the building blocks of life as we know it.

NASA unveiled the results of the recent Opportunity and Spirit probes sent millions of miles through the solar system to discover signs of extraterrestrial life.

The results are so promising boffins have already planned a host of other missions to discover whether there is extraterrestrial life in the universe.

The recent missions have gathered evidence of sulphates on Mars, a strong indication there is water on the planet and therefore life. Previous missions to Mars have concluded there is probably water on the planet. But the NASA boffins said the recent missions have gone further than any others in proving there is life on Mars.

They were particularly excited about the discovery of a sulphate called gypsum which, it has emerged recently, is found in large quantities among fossils in the Mediterranean.

Jack Farmer, researcher at the Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona, said he was "optimistic" there was - or had been - life on Mars.

Incredibly, that was the the first of a one-two-punch from NASA yesterday that I'm sure they expected would send shock waves around the world.

The other? ASTRONOMERS FIND LOADS OF ICE ON BIG ASTEROID. And so in the mere span of a few hours, Scientists attempted to try to minimize the beautiful mystery that is Creation by our Creator by attempting to "prove" to us that life isn't so uncommon after all.

What gives? Are they gearing up for an even bigger announcement perhaps? It would appear that way. I mean, not only did those two stories (pretty big ones by NASA's standards) come on the heels of one another on the VERY SAME DAY (normally, you'd spread out news like that and get as much free, positive publicity for your organization as you can), but I just read ANOTHER related story that ups-the-ante so to speak and puts the cards on the table to complete the Poker metaphor. This was the headline from an MSNBC report filed just 2 hours ago: SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE MAY TAKE GIANT LEAP FORWARD.

Yep, like I said, there was some "big news" reported yesterday and the world had no idea. Of course, I'm being facetious here. We all know what "breaking news" like this is being fed to us for. It's all a necessary part of the build-up to the coming "Great Deception" if you will. You better believe that a HUGE part of that worldwide deception will include "answers" regarding so-called "extraterrestrial life" in other parts of the universe.

Personally, I believe that Satan would be an absolute fool to allow the the entire so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon to pass without at least attempting to hijack people's sensibilities about the subject and use it to his advantage (assuming God lets him).

So, all of that is to simply say that this news wasn't shocking to me at all. However, you wanna know what was shocking to me? Seeing another story featured alongside this one in the "Related Stories" box about a "GORILLA" SEEN IN SNAPSHOT FROM MARS!

silverback gorilla...on MARS?"

Their words, not mine. Are you kidding me!?! But just to make sure we didn't miss the point, this new image of a supposed "Silverback Gorilla on Mars" that was released to the public back in March 2010, also recalled to mind THE "BIGFOOT ON MARS" IMAGE FROM 2008, and that DEFINITELY ties in with what we began looking at on last Sunday when we wondered about the strange "Silverback" and "Bigfoot" symbolism that was appearing everywhere.

"SILVERBACK, OBAMAS IN THE 'TAR HEEL STATE', NEPHILIM" because I'm now CONVINCED that as "absurd" as it may have seemed to some to be researching and writing about such things, there's got to be a reason why the Holy Spirit led us there that day. For good measure, we might also want to go back and read THIS COLUMN ON SOME STRANGE GORILLA SYMBOLISM AND THE POPE/VATICAN FROM BACK IN DECEMBER 2009.

I even highlighted a place called MARS HILL is a town just 15 miles from Asheville, NC. I just figured I throw that out there too.

Like I said, you have to go back and re-read that post from last Sunday, April 25, 2010, just a few days ago, and view the pictures and read the facts. Maybe I'm overreacting here. Maybe I'm missing something that one of you might be able to discern.

Back to this NASA announcement about Mars for a moment. See, this is why I think that the fictional scenario presented in a film like "Capricorn One" (also involving Mars!) could very well manifest itself in the real-world in the form of "Project Blue Beam" let's say, and a simulated "anything from outer space".

Why do I think that? Well, because here we have NASA making what should be a MAJOR announcement to the world, and what does the world do in response? They simply yawn.

For an organization that's struggling to maintain relevance in this day and age of economic hardship where federal budgets are reduced significantly, it makes PERFECT sense that they would try to generate some kind of scenario that would force the U.S. government (maybe even the governments of the world) to pump an endless stream of money into the institution to help keep its doors open (again, just like in the movie "Capricorn One"!). We might want to start to consider how THE SUPER-SECRET X-37B just MIGHT play into all of this.

Also, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the "fictional" presentation of what it would be like to experience "Alien" visitors to our planet like the one shown to us on the hit TV series "V" because that's probably how it will play out in the near future.

Here's another thing I need to comment on. By the way, I just love (being facetious again) that this European publication quotes a Researcher from TEMPE, ARIZONA -- of all places -- to comment on this breaking news.

First and foremost, Tempe is right around the corner from Phoenix, AZ. The PHOENIX, of course, is one of those New World Order symbols that we're all familiar with, right? In other words, we know why it's a significant symbol to our common enemy and those loyal to him.

Tempe used to be where the NFL's Arizona "CARDINALS" used to play at "SUN DEVIL STADIUM", which brings us full circle to the National Football League and the "Silverback" comment that started it all last week. Tempe is also home to the "SUN DEVILS", and it's the "SUN DEVIL STATE" to some, which I found rather appropriate to our studies. Athletes at Arizona State University are known as "Sun Devils" a nickname adopted in 1946 (earlier nicknames were the "Normals", or the "OWLS" and, later, the "Bulldogs", which also raise some eyebrows given past studies too).

Funny thing about that year 1946. That was when World War II officially ended when we dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. I only bring that up because some of you have pointed out how the controversy (and charges of a conspiracy) surrounding the recent Polish plane crash that killed a majority of their government leaders is quite odd in that history tells us it was an attack and invasion of Poland that began World War II, and we're left to wonder if this "plane crash" was symbolic of the beginning of World War III if, in fact, there's any truth to the charges of conspiracy and foul play (like I believe that there is).

Ok, what else? Again, just the mere fact that a Researcher from Tempe, AZ -- of all places -- was one of the few people chosen to comment on this story is intriguing to me for two reasons.

Any discovery of so-called "Alien" life (sentient "Alien" life) with undeniable proof (something on the scale of a "Full Disclosure/First Contact" or "Project Blue Beam" type of event) would be a game-changer; it would be paradigm-shifting indeed.

Well, how ironic is it then, to find that "at this very same moment", it is in nearby Phoenix, AZ where this whole Immigration Reform debate began, which is an issue that threatens to be a watershed moment, a paradigm-shifting event if you will, for this entire nation based on the outcome? I just found the correlation between the two, and the fact that both could be major world-changing events for most people, to be quite unusual.

In addition, keep in mind the other related news that broke earlier this week as a sort of introduction to this story. British physicist Stephen Hawking said this week that "Aliens" might be traveling through the cosmos right now, but he warned they might have evil intentions. You can read LUF's full analysis and the connection to end times Bible prophecy HERE.

It's becoming a trademark phrase with me these days, but I have to say it again -- "What are the odds of all this, right?"

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if I'm "right" or "wrong" about all of this. I engage in these types of discussions and studies because I already know that God has intervened in my life -- on more than one occasion -- in very real and personal ways, defying all expectation and logic.

Given that fact, and given the fact that I have an intense interest in end times Bible prophecy (so that I can demonstrate to people how time is short and they need to accept Jesus Christ today), I'm constantly fascinated by these sorts of unexplained connections.

The only thing that matters, however, is your current relationship with Jesus. Humble yourself! Recognize that you are a sinner! Repent! Seek the Lord's face! Pray for the blood of Jesus Christ to wash over you and yours, and for it to protect you, and that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come because it's certainly coming, and it's coming fast!

Regardless of where you're coming from as you visit this site and read this please join me in saying one of the following prayers since one of them will most certainly apply:

"Father God, I know I need You because I am a sinner, but also know that I can never get to You on my own. There's nothing I can do on my own to make up for my sins; nothing I could do on my own to earn favor and forgiveness from You or to secure my place in Heaven when I die. The only thing I can do is to make a conscious decision that You sent Your one and only Son Jesus Christ, and that He came to this world for me. He took my sins upon Himself, was crucified in my place, died for me, and was resurrected so that I may live forever. I accept Him and His sacrifice, and desperately want to receive Your Son Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. When He conquered death for my sake He gave me access to You. Thank You for Your grace and Your mercy. Thank You for forgiving me and for sending the Holy Spirit to transform my life from this moment forward. I pray that You transform my life from this day forward and give me a heart and a mind that desires to not only get to know You, but to be with You as much as possible. Teach me how to live, and teach me how to share this message with others before it's too late for them. Please count me worthy to escape the things to come. Amen."

If you're already a saved Christian, but you haven't repented for your sins or sought the Lord for His mercy, forgiveness, salvation, or prayed that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come as we're instructed to, if you haven't done all these things in awhile, then please say the following prayer right now:

"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life. Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on the cross. Please take away all the sinful 'old things' in my heart that defile me, and replace them with the 'good things' that you desire to grow in to my life. Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness. I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead me and transform me. I also pray that your shed blood washes over me, protects me, and that I am counted worthy to escape the things that are coming upon this world in the form of your righteous judgment. Lastly, I pray that you have mercy on this nation even though we deserve your fierce judgment for our blatant sins that are before you. Help us to see the error in our ways as individuals and as a nation, and lead us to repentance before it's too late for us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Please keep in mind that we can't just utter some 30-second prayer and "make everything ok" in our lives, and square things up with the Lord. It has to be a genuine, heartfelt, humble repentance you give through faith in Jesus Christ that He will have mercy on you and forgive you from your sins. Then, it's turning your life over to Him so that He is truly your Lord and Savior from this moment on.

Now that we're back on the right track in this life let's all use what little precious time we have left drawing that much closer to God while sharing His life-saving message with as many people as we can before it's too late for us and too late for them.

Remember that if you're worth dying for, then He's worth living for. Begin a new life in Jesus Christ today and commit to getting to know Him and serving Him daily.

What is the relevance of all of this (if any) to the Body of Christ at this late and urgent hour? Are we being primed and prepared for what's coming by being gently nudged by the Holy Spirit to consider such possibilities and our likely response as Christians should they occur?

If I had to guess, and this is PURE SPECULATION on my part, but with all this symbolism involving "Bigfoot", and "Silverback Gorillas", and "Sun Devils", and "Cardinals" I would have to think that something quite profound is in store for the church, but particularly for the Catholic Church of Rome, the Pope, and the Vatican.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ROME AND THE VATICAN IS MADE UP OF CARDINALS. THE POPE IS OTHERWISE KNOWN BY HIS OFFICIAL TITLE AS THE "PRIMATE OF ITALY".

Stay tuned! Keep looking up! Lord come quickly!

No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34 There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need....ACTS 5ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA 1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that YOU HAVE LIED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? YOU HAVE NOT LIED TO MEN BUT TO GOD."5 When ANANIAS heard this, he FELL DOWN AND DIED. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land? Yes," she said, "that is the price."9 Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."10 At that moment SHE FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET AND DIED. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Because YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR WHAT I SAY. 44 You belong to your father, THE DEVIL, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he LIES, he speaks HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, for HE IS A LIAR and THE FATHER OF LIES. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?

THE LORD DETESTS MURDERERS AND DECEIVERS.7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. 8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.9 MY ENEMIES CANNOT SPEAK A TRUTHFUL WORD. THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE IS TO DESTROY OTHERS. THEIR TALK IS FOUL, LIKE THE STENCH FROM AN OPEN GRAVE. THEIR TONGUES ARE FILLED WITH FLATTERY. [Greek version reads with LIES] 10 O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for THEY HAVE REBELLED AGAINST YOU. PSALM 12: 1-8 (New Living Translation)1 Help, O Lord, for THE GODLY ARE FAST DISAPPEARING! The faithful have vanished from the earth! 2 NEIGHBORS LIE TO EACH OTHER, SPEAKING WITH FLATTERING LIPS AND DECEITFUL HEARTS. 3 MAY THE LORD CUT OFF THEIR FLATTERING LIPS AND SILENCE THEIR BOASTFUL TONGUES. 4 THEY SAY, WE WILL LIE TO OUR HEARTS CONTENT. OUR LIPS ARE OUR OWNWHO CAN STOP US?5 The Lord replies, "I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do." 6 The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. 7 Therefore, LORD, we know YOU WILL PROTECT THE OPPRESSED, PRESERVING THEM FOREVER FROM THIS LYING GENERATION, 8 even though THE WICKED STRUT ABOUT, and EVIL IS PRAISED THROUGHOUT THE LAND.COLOSSIANS 3: 1-10RULES FOR HOLY LIVING1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, SET YOUR HEARTS ON THINGS ABOVE, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON EARTHLY THINGS. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 WHEN CHRIST, who is your life, APPEARS, then YOU ALSO WILL APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY.5 PUT TO DEATH, THEREFORE, WHATEVER BELONGS TO YOUR EARTHLY NATURE: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY, LUST, EVIL DESIRES AND GREED, WHICH IS IDOLATRY. 6 Because of these, THE WRATH OF GOD IS COMING. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must RID YOURSELVES OF ALL SUCH THINGS AS THESE: ANGER, RAGE, MALICE, SLANDER, and FILTHY LANGUAGE from your lips. 9 DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have PUT ON THE NEW SELF, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. DEUTERONOMY 19: 15-21WITNESSES15 ONE WITNESS IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONVICT A MAN ACCUSED OF ANY CRIME OR OFFENSE he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, 17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and IF THE WITNESS PROVES TO BE A LIAR, GIVING FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST HIS BROTHER, 19 then DO TO HIM AS HE INTENDED TO DO TO HIS BROTHER. You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. 21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. ISAIAH 32: 7The scoundrel's methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to DESTROY THE POOR WITH LIES, even when the plea of the needy is just.1 JOHN 2: 1-111 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense-JESUS CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. 2 He is THE ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, and not only for ours but also for THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.3 WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW HIM IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS. 4 THE MAN WHO SAYS, "I KNOW HIM," BUT DOES NOT DO WHAT HE COMMANDS IS A LIAR, and THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. 5 But if anyone OBEYS his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6 WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN HIM MUST WALK AS JESUS DID.7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.9 ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE IN THE LIGHT BUT HATES HIS BROTHER IS STILL IN THE DARKNESS. 10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. 11 But WHOEVER HATES HIS BROTHER IS IN THE DARKNESS AND WALKS AROUND IN THE DARKNESS; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. 1 JOHN 1: 5-10WALKING IN THE LIGHT5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If WE CLAIM TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM YET WALK IN THE DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT LIVE BY THE TRUTH. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.8 IF WE CLAIM TO BE WITHOUT SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 IF WE CLAIM WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR AND HIS WORD HAS NO PLACE IN OUR LIVES.1 JOHN 4: 7-21GOD'S LOVE AND OURS7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. EVERYONE WHO LOVES HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD. 8 WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son [Or his only begotten Son] into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND HIS LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17 In this way, LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE AMONG US SO THAT WE WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, because in this world we are like him. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 IF ANYONE SAYS, "I LOVE GOD," YET HATES HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR. For ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER, WHOM HE HAS SEEN, CANNOT LOVE GOD, WHOM HE HAS NOT SEEN. 21 And he has given us this command: WHOEVER LOVES GOD MUST ALSO LOVE HIS BROTHER.Isaiah 59: 1-16Sin, Confession and Redemption CLICK HERE TO READ SCRIPTURES ON TOPIC: JUSTICE/INJUSTICE - WARNINGS TO LAWYERS-COURTS-LAWMAKERS 1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. YOUR LIPS HAVE SPOKEN LIES, and your tongue mutters wicked things.4 NO ONE CALLS FOR JUSTICE; NO ONE PLEADS HIS CASE WITH INTEGRITY. THEY RELY ON EMPTY ARGUMENTS AND SPEAK LIES; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.7 Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark their ways.8 The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.11 We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. WE LOOK FOR JUSTICE, BUT FIND NONE; for deliverance, but it is far away.12 For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:13 rebellion and treachery against the LORD, turning our backs on our God, fomenting oppression and revolt, UTTERING LIES our hearts have conceived.14 So JUSTICE IS DRIVEN BACK, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS STANDS AT A DISTANCE; TRUTH HAS STUMBLED IN THE STREETS, HONESTY CANNOT ENTER.15 TRUTH IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;

Kick Starting Your Prayers

Prayer is a necessary part of the joyous and full Christian life. Jesus taught his disciples how to pray (Matthew 6:5-13) and we see Jesus praying often--maybe most intensely in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is the act of talking with God and the Bible records many men and women praying. (Some of those prayers are even written down.)

God wants us to talk with him often, always in fact (Luke 18:1, Acts 10:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, and 1 Timothy 2:8 for example). Yet, many Christians find themselves in seasons where it is difficult to pray. As surprising as that may sound, it might be a result of unresolved spiritual conviction but it could also be due to a lack to a strong understanding of prayer or a lifestyle of habitual prayer. The best way to work through spiritual conviction, especially that of unconfessed or hidden sin, is to pray! And the best way to develop a better understanding of prayer comes through studying the Bible and engaging in a regular routine of prayer. Regular prayer is about a submissive attitude, faith, and habit and there are seasons where these things don't come easy.

One tool I've found to help me in my prayer time is a prayer book. No, this is not a journal, nor is it a Puritan book of pre-written prayers, although both of these things are good. (When it comes to journaling, I've often struggled to write my down prayers, and I would almost never look back to review my prayers at a later date. This is not to say that journaling is bad, it's just not something I personally do well or find as useful.)

Instead, I have a prayer book that serves as a "kick-starter" for my prayers. It's a reminder and makes it easy to pray in dry seasons (and when I haven't yet fully woken up with a good cup of coffee). Here's how I've organized my prayer book, but if you're going to use a prayer book, your book really aught to be customized to your needs and preferences. You really need to make it your own.

On the opening page of my book, I've written 2 Corinthians 10:4, as a personal reminder of the importance of prayer. There are many passages that could serve as a reminder, but this one was on my mind when I made my most recent prayer book.

The first section of my prayer book is a list of lost people who I pray for often. My list has grown ever sense reading Concentric Circles of Concern by Dr. Oscar Thompson so I typically pray for 10 to 15 people by name each day. The list however, helps me remember lost people to pray for and keeps them in front of me and on my heart. It is also a place where I can add the names of new people I meet who are in desperate need of Christ. (At it's thrilling when I can cross a person's name off on this list because they become found!) I've also written some scriptures in this section that serve as an encouragement to me. They remind me that God cares more than I do and they help shape my thinking about the importance of praying for the lost, which is why they are penned in the first section of my book.

The next section is pages of scriptural passages that I like and often pray through. Many of them serve as an encouragement but some are the prayers of others written in the Bible that I have found particular significant in my own life. Many are from the Psalms, but not all.

The next section opens with some Scripture that moves me, followed by some simple one-line prayers that I could (and should) pray for the rest of my life. They are prayers of thanksgiving, praise, worship, and life-long petitions such as a request for wisdom as outlined in James 1:5.

The final section in my prayer book is a list of all the praises, thanksgiving, and petitions that are more timely. These include the many intersessions for my family, church, and many others. I have the names of our church's community group leaders, lists of friends, other pastors laboring all around the world for the gospel, special projects, and the specific requests made by others. I also have many of my own prayer needs and praises written in this section. I put a date by all the listings. When I cross them off, I date them again and write a brief explanation of why I'm crossing the item off. For example, I'm praying regularly for a young woman who has embarked on a year-long mission trip around the world. When she returns safely, I'll cross off that prayer item and praise God for his provisions.

My book has pages and pages of people, praises, petitions, Scriptures, thoughts, and other things I can be talking with God about. It also has lots of blank pages for more to be added. I don't have to pray for everything in the book but it's nice to have the tool to prime the pump when I feel like I'm praying on empty. It's interesting just how quickly my prayers start flowing without the book only a short time after I get started by using the book. It's also worth noting that this book has greatly helped me form a more regular habit of personal prayer.

Here's a short video with a little more info about my little prayer book and how one may help you in your prayer life:

If you'd like to start a prayer book, it's easy. All you need to get started is some kind of notebook and a pen. Then start praying!

Scientific Metaphysics And Uncertainty

Exhibit is, concerning a final group of scientists, a jagged surety about science which leads to advance proclamations on matters of philosophy (and by horsehair, religion). It is along these lines cold to be reminded that a choice of scientists grasp a separate and best quality unknown view. In this "Scientific American"census with physicist George F.R. Ellis, he discusses Lawrence Krauss' belief that physics has explained "why display is something reasonably than not any." Krauss' metaphysical statement is, of course, to a great extent treasured by New Atheists who questionable that science has explained curious to a great extent everything. Ellis, a unfair in his subject who co-authored "The Thick High-quality Assemble of Space-Time" (1973) with Stephen Hawking, disagrees: Krauss is presenting untested theoretical theories of how squeeze came stylish being out of a pre-existing indirect of entities, by way of variational doctrine, quantum subject perception, individual steadiness groups, a bouncy wholesome, all the components of the wretched model of wisp physics, and so on. He does not define in what way these entities possibly will grasp pre-existed the coming stylish individual of the conception, why they call for grasp existed at all, or why they call for grasp had the form they did. And he gives no sample or observational course whereby we possibly will test these pretty speculations of the understood universe-generation channel. How unquestionable can you test what existed beforehand the conception existed? You can't. Consequently what he is presenting is not weathered science. It's a insightful suppose, which he evidently believes is so cogent he does not grasp to allow any train of documentation that would be evidence for it is true. Put in, you can't get any documentation about what existed beforehand space and time came stylish individual. Snooty all he believes that these mathematically based speculations contravene thousand year old insightful conundrums, fault mischievously pleasant inhabitants insightful issues. The belief that all of particulars can be absolutely comprehended in language of physics and the equations of physics is a contemplate. As pointed out so well by Eddington in his Gifford lectures, they are partial and ornament representations of physical, unaffected, psychological, and social particulars. And upper all Krauss does not criticism why the laws of physics come into sight, why they grasp the form they grasp, or in what kindhearted of pressing out they existed beforehand the conception existed (which he indigence questionable if he believes they brought the conception stylish being). Who or what dreamt up steadiness doctrine, Lagrangians, individual steadiness groups, track theories, and so on? He does not begin to corollary these questions. It's very mocking subsequently he says philosophy is ruin and next himself engages in this kindhearted of redistribute at philosophy. It seems that science instruction call for shelter some basic modules on Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hume, and the other zealous philosophers, as well as writings of best quality deferred philosophers such as Tim Gooey and David Albert. Exhibit are a choice of unknowns and some squeeze that may never be professional. Being some find this not viable and stroke a grasp to execute gaps with metaphysical assertions (which come in exact and religious or mystical forms), I goodwill the Lakota or "wakan" way, which strikes me as individual methodologically exact. By this understanding, some squeeze choice unfailingly be profound, paradoxical, inexplicable, and unintelligible. This call for not bother us. Years with timidity is, in my attitude, far best quality curative than living with surety. At its best or in skilled precise form, science is likewise about mystery, paradox, and timidity. This resourcefulness of science is fabulously articulated by physicist Carlo Rovelli in a deferred bite-mark for the "New Republic": Science is not about expert. Science is about detection the most lasting way of lessons at the interject level of knowledge. Science is really reliable; it's not final. In fact, not barely is it not final, but it's the lack of expert that basis it. Scientific concept are authentic not to the same degree they are mandatory but to the same degree they're the ones that grasp survived all the reachable departed critiques, and they're the most authentic to the same degree they were put on the illustration for everybody's rant. The very manner "industrially well-known" is a cancellation in language. There's not any that is industrially well-known. The basic of science is the dull way of thinking that we grasp wrong concept, we grasp prejudices. We grasp unshakable prejudices. In our conceptual shape for ravenous particulars, display license be something not matching, something we may grasp to correct to understand outstrip. So at any jiffy we grasp a ghoul of particulars that is effective, it's good, it's the best we grasp found so far. It's the most authentic we grasp found so far; it's primarily perfect. But, at the exceedingly time, it's not full as final, and any element of it is "a priori" open for rewrite. Crack, hear! Rovelli likewise has some multicolored squeeze to say about "chaste" scientists who ponder that philosophy is usable. These scientists of course grasp a figure full of philosophy, to a great extent of it metaphysical, but they don't spot it as such. Unexamined assumptions evenly work this way, and in other contexts we brand name this lack of way of thinking what it is: closeness.

Religious Scholar Gospeller Martyr And Feminist Change Agent Anne Askew

by Beth von Staats"Next they asked of my lady of Suffolk, my lady of Sussex, my lady of Hertford, my lady Denny, and my lady Fitzwilliams. I believed, if I must announce whatever not keen them, that I would not be skillful to validate it." Anne Impractical, 1546 "Formerly I was a child in the 1960's, a organism conclude to our clique matrimonial, but chose to difficulty her maiden name. In the manner of, she disappeared her partner, divorcing the man and casual her children with him. Why was she so selfish? Encouragingly, this feminist had a adore. She set off for a post, placing her dreams to move the world earlier traditional fatherhood. She had to do it. If not her, also who? My God, that organism was a revolt. Formerly she was arrested for protesting the Vietnam War, and also to the same extent she was arrested a the twinkling of an eye time and a third time and yet a fourth time for feat the very precise thing, we all bother her unpatriotic, a turncoat, a the twinkling of an eye "Jane Fonda". Real what admiring of organism was she? And acceptably what other "bra roaring" women and revolt hippies was she in cahoots with? As I grew to an good, with opinions based on my own bearing totally than family of my parents, I came to look up to this organism for her adore, her grate, her kindness to prefer risks in her draw near to make the world a choice place, at least from her own milieu.In the middle of family initial stages memoirs in the back of my intelligence, I am truly in awe of family strong women in 16th century England, who within the constraints of medieval coming, were leaders and move agents. Catalina de Arag'on reigned in her husband's wish for, leading a argue that brought Scotland to it's tour, Emperor James IV killed, listed with utmost of Scotland's mark of distinction. Anne Boleyn available Emperor Henry VIII's publicity, keeping his advances at bay for seven have a yen get-up-and-go, at the end of the day popular the plate. Her shade on the Henrican Activity may be loud, but is substantial tranquil. Emperor Mary I led a rich dismissal d'etat, becoming England's the first part of female reigning sovereign. Emperor Elizabeth I reigned unresponsive an line, becoming one of Den History's utmost standard and luxurious administrate leaders. Farther than queenship but, was it possible for women to lead and shade the bearing and beliefs of others? Possibly will women imitation their own lives, short male shade, become known of royalty or puerile communities? Possibly will any organism difficulty her own name upon marriage or run off a man if unhappy? Possibly will women truly be move agents? Undoubtedly, these reflection were entirely unthinkable. Women were obedient to men. No thing, man or organism, may possibly census the frozen order. In an age of overriding monarchy and prejudicial grief, insolvency and piece methods, who further the insane would even try?Anne Impractical, a well educated schoolgirl of a stuffed guy and knight after in Emperor Henry VIII's service, and in one of the oddities of history, a juror in Emperor Anne Boleyn's treason trial, was a virtuous Protestant obligatory into a marriage with a Roman Catholic named Thomas Kyme, a man after promised to her dead sister. The marriage was a restricted and tell jam. In 1543, Emperor Henry VIII, in piece with his conservative sort, distorted his view on acceptably who in the realm may possibly read the Bible. By Parliamentary Law it became unlawful for any women or man base the grade of guy from reading God's Information. This over-the-top supersede in appreciate theology practice did not put off Impractical. At the same time as two children were born of the marriage, she is believed to take been studying the Bible with aim minded Protestants to the same extent her partner kicked her out of the home for her trouble to him, heresy and treason. Anne Impractical, retaining her inclined name anyhow her married division, inspired in with her brother and pursued a run off based on her scriptural interpretation that Christians crusade not be "yoked to non-believers". Unsuccessful in her attempts, Impractical inspired to London. Booty the ridiculous prime soir of a smug organism with a charge, Anne Impractical became a "gospeller", top-quality commonly household today as a member of the clergy. Sincere her information and bestow, Impractical set out to ration her Protestantism with family not allowed access to the Bible themselves fluff scripture audacious to bear in mind. Impractical to boot continued to load her sink for run off.Upon arriving in London, Impractical connected with Protestant friends who introduced her to a few take possession of conclude to Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who by this time was out cold from mall, withdrawing to Kent. Cranmer's wish for from London brightly signaled King's Henry's move in edge, which became always top-quality traditional person past the start of the Six Articles and the fall of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex. Sincere Askew's links, she came to know and subordinate with Bishop Hugh Latimer, Dr. Nicholas Shaxton, Dr. Edward Crome utmost unconsciously, and in all probability, but unsupported, top-quality surreptitiously with household Protestant sympathizers Catherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, Anne Stanhope, also Countess of Hertford, and other ladies conclude to Emperor Catherine Parr. Anne Impractical as Portrayed by Emma StansfieldAnne Impractical became always grassroots from beginning to end London for her well-off scriptural knowledge, her smart "gospelling", and her fortune to connect out to take possession of of all classes and persuasions. That's why, she gained publicity not only from admirers, but to boot family audacious to Emperor Henry's distorted theological edge. By 1545, traditionalists with Roman Catholic leanings by way of Bishops Stephen Gardiner and Edmund Bonner, Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, and Member of the aristocracy Chancellor Thomas Wriothesley were ardently gunning for take possession of of high enthusiast within Emperor Henry VIII's inner circle, by way of Emperor Catherine Parr and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. As a group they industrialized a manipulation to bring Parr and in all probability even Cranmer down by the first part of focusing their attentions to top-quality murky evangelicals with the statement family targeted would assign others with top-quality power earlier to the Emperor. Inside this context, Anne Impractical became entwined in a web, fixed in the midst of a power drive along with the conservative traditional person sort and reformers.In 1545, Anne Impractical was arrested and interviewed by Christopher Valley, under mayor of London, and also later Bishop Edmund Bonner and other dutiful conservatives. The charges of her heresy laid within her Protestant opinions of the overhaul of the Spiritual Eucharist, which Roman Catholics view as celebration of the Eucharist liturgy, the currency and wine which at the back the devoutness are "transubstantiated" into the develop and blood of Jesus Christ. Any scare of the Eucharist liturgy was unhurried plain heresy, serious short recantation by roaring. On June 13, 1545, Anne Impractical was arraigned for hole of the "Act of Sacramentaries", but no witnesses appeared to shape not keen her, so she was open. A few months later, Anne Askew's apply for to run off was denied, and she was repeated to return to her partner. In some accounts, she is believed to take been obligatory back to her partner, immediately at the back dodging and returning to London. In others, she flat out refused to go pure. In either pod, Askew's edge on the mall order was spring ruthless and impolite, humanitarian shot to her detractors. Bishop Stephen Gardiner summoned Anne Impractical under the conceal of ordering she return to her partner. Upon analytical of her partner, Impractical refused to unquestionable. Gardiner also turned his publicity to her dutiful views. Impractical unswervingly and pointedly denied the settled of "transubstatiation", and in feat so unassailable her ability. On June 18, 1546, Anne Impractical was arraigned at Guildhall, listed with Dr. Nicholas Shaxton and two others. They all confessed and were convicted of heresy, condemned to die at the bet. Regardless of the others recanted the next day, Anne Impractical available home to her convictions. Ahead roaring Impractical, on the other hand, the traditional person conservative sort was interested to know who her "well-matched" constituency were, and they suspected, in all probability skillfully, that family conclude to her included Emperor Catherine Parr, listed with the Queen's high hierarchy friends and ladies-in-waiting.In the utmost fantastic of spite even condemnable for the era, Anne Impractical became the the first part of and only organism suffering in the Battlement of London. On June 19, 1546, she was detained in the Battlement. Impractical was ardently interrogated by Bishop Stephen Gardiner, Member of the aristocracy Chancellor Thomas Wriothesley and Sir William Paget for two have a yen days. Forever threatened with piece, Impractical refused fixedly to name other Protestants or renounce her beliefs. Unsuccessful in securing the unflattering information they hunted from her, utmost importantly an admission that she was joined with Emperor Catherine Parr, the order was inclined to prepare grief. Impractical was brought to a secondary grief room in the White Battlement and was not permitted the outlook. Tranquil refusing to name other Protestants and renounce her beliefs, she was unmercifully racked by Member of the aristocracy Chancellor Thomas Wriothesley and Solicitor Conventional Richard Profound. Sir William Kingston, Constable of the Battlement and top score to far afield grief in the context of his job odd jobs, was astonished by the grief of a organism. He refused to participate further one turn of the handle, and disappeared for mall to find Emperor Henry VIII to wrap up hold close that Wriothesley and Profound decline. By the time Sir Kingston was skillful to pleasing with the Emperor and wrap up his hold close, Wriothesley and Profound had turned the handles so harsh at the back Askew's continued refusals to name other Protestants that she was leaving nothing to the imagination reserved, her arms and legs ripped out of their sockets and her elbows and tour dislocated. By some gossip, even at the back she was returned to her itinerant, Wriothesley continued analytical Impractical hours thereafter, as she lay on the cot writhing in worry. Tranquil, Anne Impractical available home to her convictions, refusing to renounce or name other Protestants.On July 16, 1546, the 26 rendezvous old out of the ordinary commoner Anne Impractical, who maintained her maiden name anyhow use, who hunted her accredit from a loveless marriage fluff attempting to tolerate a run off, who provocatively "gospelled" scripture to take possession of publicized from reading the Bible by Parliamentary Law, who refused to return to her "partner" at the back mall order, and who refused to renounce her beliefs or name other Protestants to protect them from harm's way, was burnt at the bet. Unable to move her develop in any way and evidently idle in distressing worry, she was brought to and coupled to the bet in a pretentious manage. Tranquil sassy, Anne Impractical refused a reckon chance at recantation and chimed in her rear-ender to points made oddly enough by Dr. Nicolas Saxton in his spoken communication earlier the fags were lit. At the same time as burned exciting as a heretic, Anne Impractical fluff her grate, reliance and martyrdom became one of English history's utmost charm national heroes and firstly feminist move agents.SOURCES:Claire Ridgway, "Anne Impractical Sentenced to Damage," The Anne Boleyn Documentation (www.theanneboleynfiles.com)James Gairdner, "Anne Impractical 1521-1546," Luminarium: Listing State of affairs (www.luminarium.org)Wikipedia, "Anne Impractical""Beth von Staats is a imperfect story ancient story playwright and boss of Emperor Anne Boleyn Earlier period Writers.
