High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Perceptions of religious imagery in natural phenomena, sometimes called simulacra, are sightings of images with spiritual or religious themes or import to the perceiver. The images perceived, whether iconic or aniconic, may be the faces of religious notables or the manifestation of spiritual symbols in the natural, organic media or phenomena of the natural world. The occurrence or event of perception may be transient or fleeting or may be more enduring and monumental. The phenomenon appears to approach a cultural universal and may often accompany nature worship, animism, and fetishism, along with more formal or organized belief systems. Within Christian traditions, many instances reported...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Perfect Master is the English term that the Indian spiritual master Meher Baba used since 1926 to denote what he syncretized in his system with sadguru (Vedanta) and qutub (Sufism). A Perfect Master, according to Baba, is a God-realized person (one whose limited individualized consciousness has merged with God) who can use his Divine attributes of Infinite Power, Knowledge and Bliss for the spiritual upliftment of others. In describing Meher Baba's specialized use of the term C. B. Purdom writes "The title ‘Perfect Master’...means one who has himself reached the goal to which he directs others: one who, pointing to God, has himself realized God." Besides Perfect One (Kamil), Most Perfect...

Latter Day Saints teach that Perfection is a continual process requiring the application of Faith, Works, and Grace in compliance with the admonition of Jesus Christ to: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. In response to an inquiry on the beliefs of the church, Joseph Smith, Jr. wrote what came to be called the Wentworth Letter, the last section of which was canonized as The Articles of Faith. The third, fourth, and thirteenth articles state the essence of Latter Day Saint belief concerning Faith, Works, and Grace. Although the words 'Grace' and 'Works' do not appear and 'Faith' only appears once, references to the concepts of Faith, Works, and Grace....

The perpetual virginity of Mary, Mary's "real and perpetual virginity even in the act of giving birth to the Son of God made Man", is part of the teaching of Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, Eastern, and Oriental Orthodoxy, as expressed in their liturgies, in which they repeatedly refer to Mary as "ever virgin". Thus, according to this teaching, Mary was ever-virgin for the whole of her life, making Jesus her only biological son, whose conception and birth are held to be miraculous.

This study develops a twofold approach to the topic of perseverance. Part 1 outlines the development of the doctrine and analyses it within a fourfold analytical schema. Against this background the author proceeds in Part 2 to set this within the context of the elements in the classical ordo salutis, from calling through glorification, in all of which both divine action and human responsibility are involved. By way of conclusion, the author holds that, in this way, both the already/not yet of the believer’s position, but also the New Testament’s orientation of perseverance to the future, rather than the past, are safeguarded. (Dr. S.B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology at Redeemer Theological Seminary, Dallas) This is a good...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A personal god is a deity that is, and can be related to as, a person. The personhood of God is one of the characteristic features of monotheism. In the sacred scriptures of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, God is conceived and described as being a personal creator, with a purpose for the creation. In the Pentateuch, for example, God talks and instructs his prophets and is conceived as possessing volition, emotions (such as anger, grief and jealousy), intention, and other attributes characteristic of a human person. Personal relationships with God may be described in the same ways as human relationships, such as...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pesher (pl. pesharim) is a Hebrew word meaning "interpretation" in the sense of "solution". It became known from one group of texts, numbering some hundreds, among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The pesharim give a theory of scriptural interpretation, previously partly known, but now fully defined. The writers of pesharim believe that scripture is written in two levels, the surface for ordinary readers with limited knowledge, the concealed one for specialists with higher knowledge. This is most clearly spelled out in the Habakkuk Pesher (1QpHab), where the author of the text asserts that God has made known to the Teacher of Righteousness, a prominent figure within the history of the Essene community,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saint Peter of Verona, O.P. also known as Saint Peter Martyr (1206 – April 6, 1252), was a 13th century Dominican preacher and Inquisitor in Lombardy, and a canonized Catholic saint. He was born in the city of Verona into a family perhaps sympathetic to the Cathars, adherents of the dualist faith, which posits a good God and an evil god as equal and opposing powers: the evil god is usually responsible for or at least in control of the material world. This heresy held many adherents in thirteenth-century Northern Italy. Peter went to a Catholic school, and later to the University of Bologna, where he is said to have maintained his orthodoxy and at the age of fifteen, met Saint Dominic....

Due to lack of reliable documentation there is a great degree of debate over Waldo's role in the Waldensian sect which may have existed before his leadership, while the French historian Thuanus dated his death to the year 1179. The Waldensian movement was characterized from the beginning by lay preaching, voluntary poverty and strict adherence to the Bible....
