That which was from the beginning which we have looked at and our hands have touched this we proclaim. John 1 1 TODAY IN THE WORD Ren Descartes was a 1. French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician. Preoccupied with the problem of how philosophical knowledge could be as certain as mathematical knowledge, he began by doubting everything, especially his senses. What, then, did he truly know He decided that the surest fact was his own conscious existence, which he expressed in the famous statement, I think, therefore I am. From this, he also argued for the existence of God and other truths. Those living in biblical times, however, had a different way of thinking about the certainty of knowledge. To them, other senses might possibly deceive a person, but the sense of touch could give sure and definite knowledge. In other words, you could be certain about things you yourself had handled. Thats the background for Johns assertions in todays verses. John introduced his epistle by summarizing what he and the other apostles were all about Christ. That which was from the beginning refers to His eternality, and echoes the start of Johns Gospel In the beginning was the Word 1 1. The next items on Johns list are apostolic credentials, or evidence for the truthfulness of their testimony about Jesus. The three are all related to senses, and are listed in order of increasing importance. First, hearing the apostles had heard Jesus teach. Second, sight they were eyewitnesses to and participants in His life. Third, touch they had hands on experience with the physical reality of His life. Though hearing and seeing are repeated in verses 2 3, touch was the most important sense because it provided the most certain knowledge. Jesus invited the disciples to touch Him Luke 2. He was not afraid of concrete examination and He ate food as the proof of His Resurrection see April 1. Christ, the Word of life, was the message preached by the apostles. They had both the privilege and responsibility to proclaim His name. To believe their message is to fellowship with them and with God. We are part of that continuing community, and we still believe in historicity of the humanity of Christ.

John 5 1. 3 TODAY IN THE WORD Its not uncommon for people nearing death to write letters to their loved ones recounting significant life events, sharing hopes and dreams for the letters recipient, perhaps even urging a specific course of action. Toward the end of his life, the apostle John wrote a series of letters 1, 2, and 3 John that similarly encouraged believers to remain faithful.

Recently, Cardinal Burke stated that, if Pope Francis were to endorse a position on marriage and sexuality that were contrary to the tradition of the. In fact, there are many parallels between the gospel and the epistles of John. As you read through todays passage, you may have thought of John 1 11. Yet the purposes of the two writings are different. The Gospel of John was written so that nonbelievers might believe John 2. John was written to assure believers of their salvation 1 John 5 1. In fact, 1 John is like a refresher course in the basics of Christianity. Thats a pretty good description of our study this montha back to the basics course through 1, 2, and 3 John, and the letter of Jude. We begin with 1 John, which was likely written between 8. Asia Minor, modern day Turkey. Some type of false teaching was creeping into this area, and John was fearful that these believers might be led astray. So 1 John begins by reminding us that our faith is rooted in the historical, physical person of Jesus. He did not just appear to be human, as some of these false teachers claimed. He was in fact fully human and fully God. That is the main point of the message proclaimed v. Jesus Christ, the very life and person whom John witnessed personally v. APPLY THE WORD As we noted above, 1 John encourages believers to know that they have eternal life. This months study will provide a good opportunity to reflect on eternal life.

In him was life, and that life was the light of men. Catharism Wikipedia. Catharism from the Greek, katharoi, the pure ones3 was a Christiandualist or Gnostic revival4 movement that thrived in some areas of Southern Europe, particularly northern Italy and what is now southern France, between the 1. The followers were known as Cathars and are now mainly remembered for a prolonged period of persecution by the Catholic Church which did not recognise their belief as truly Christian. Catharism appeared in Europe in the Languedoc region of France in the 1. The adherents were also sometimes known as Albigensians after the city Albi in southern France where the movement first took hold. The beliefs are believed to have been brought from Persia or the Byzantine Empire. Cathar beliefs varied between communities, because Catharism was initially taught by ascetic leaders who had set few guidelines. The Catholic Church denounced its practices including the Consolamentum ritual, by which Cathar individuals were baptized and raised to the status of perfect. Catharism may have had its roots in the Paulician movement in Armenia and eastern Byzantine Anatolia and certainly in the Bogomils of the First Bulgarian Empire,6 who were influenced by the Paulicians resettled in Thrace Philipopolis by the Byzantines. Though the term Cathar has been used for centuries to identify the movement, whether the movement identified itself with this name is debatable. In Cathar texts, the terms Good Men Bons Hommes or Good Christians are the common terms of self identification. The idea of two Gods or principles, one being good and the other evil, was central to Cathar beliefs. The good God was the God of the New Testament and the creator of the spiritual realm, contrasted with the evil Old Testament Godthe creator of the physical world whom many Cathars, and particularly their persecutors, identified as Satan. All visible matter, including the human body, was created by this evil god matter was therefore tainted with sin. This was the antithetical to the monotheistic Catholic Church, whose fundamental principle was that there was only one God, who created all things visible and invisible. Cathars thought human spirits were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of the evil god, destined to be reincarnated until they achieved salvation through the consolamentum. From the beginning of his reign, Pope Innocent III attempted to end Catharism by sending missionaries and by persuading the local authorities to act against them. In 1. 20. 8 Innocents papal legate Pierre de Castelnau was murdered while returning to Rome after excommunicating Count Raymond VI of Toulouse, who, in his view, was too lenient with the Cathars. Pope Innocent III then abandoned the option of sending Catholic missionaries and jurists, declared Pierre de Castelnau a martyr and launched the Albigensian Crusade which all but ended Catharism. OriginseditThe origins of the Cathars beliefs are unclear, but most theories agree they came from the Byzantine Empire, mostly by the trade routes and spread from the First Bulgarian Empire to the Netherlands. The name of Bulgarians Bougres was also applied to the Albigensians, and they maintained an association with the similar Christian movement of the Bogomils Friends of God of Thrace. That there was a substantial transmission of ritual and ideas from Bogomilism to Catharism is beyond reasonable doubt. Their doctrines have numerous resemblances to those of the Bogomils and the Paulicians, who influenced them,1. Marcionites, who were found in the same areas as the Paulicians, the Manicheans and the Christian Gnostics of the first few centuries AD, although, as many scholars, most notably Mark Pegg, have pointed out, it would be erroneous to extrapolate direct, historical connections based on theoretical similarities perceived by modern scholars. St John Damascene, writing in the 8th century AD, also notes of an earlier sect called the Cathari, in his book On Heresies, taken from the epitome provided by Epiphanius of Salamis in his Panarion. He says of them They absolutely reject those who marry a second time, and reject the possibility of penance that is, forgiveness of sins after baptism. These are probably the same Cathari actually Novations who are mentioned in Canon 8 of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in the year 3. If those called Cathari come over to the faith, let them first make profession that they are willing to communicate share full communion with the twice married, and grant pardon to those who have lapsed. It is likely that we have only a partial view of their beliefs, because the writings of the Cathars were mostly destroyed because of the doctrinal threat perceived by the Papacy much of our existing knowledge of the Cathars is derived from their opponents. Conclusions about Cathar ideology continue to be debated with commentators regularly accusing their opponents of speculation, distortion and bias. There are a few texts from the Cathars themselves which were preserved by their opponents the Rituel Cathare de Lyon which give a glimpse of the inner workings of their faith, but these still leave many questions unanswered. One large text which has survived, The Book of Two Principles Liber de duobus principiis, elaborates the principles of dualistic theology from the point of view of some of the Albanenses Cathars. This is a map signifying the routes of the Cathar castles blue squares and lines in the south of France around the turn of the 1. It is now generally agreed by most scholars that identifiable historical Catharism did not emerge until at least 1. Cologne by the cleric Eberwin of Steinfeld. A landmark in the institutional history of the Cathars was the Council, held in 1. Saint Flix Lauragais, attended by many local figures and also by the Bogomilpapa. Nicetas, the Cathar bishop of northern France and a leader of the Cathars of Lombardy. The Cathars were largely local, Western EuropeanLatin Christian phenomena, springing up in the Rhineland cities particularly Cologne in the mid 1. France around the same time, and particularly the Languedoc and the northern Italian cities in the mid late 1. In the Languedoc and northern Italy, the Cathars attained their greatest popularity, surviving in the Languedoc, in much reduced form, up to around 1. Italian cities until the Inquisitions of the fourteenth century finally extirpated them. General beliefseditCathars, in general, formed an anti sacerdotal party in opposition to the Catholic Church, protesting against what they perceived to be the moral, spiritual and political corruption of the Church. G. K. Chesterton, the English Roman Catholic polemicist, claimed. The huge early heresies, like the Albigenses, had not the faintest excuse in moral superiority. Contemporary reports suggest otherwise, however. St Bernard of Clairvaux, for instance, although opposed to the Cathars, said of them in Sermon 6. Song of Songs If you question the heretic about his faith, nothing is more Christian if about his daily converse, nothing more blameless and what he says he proves by his actions. As regards his life and conduct, he cheats no one, pushes ahead of no one, does violence to no one. Moreover, his cheeks are pale with fasting he does not eat the bread of idleness he labours with his hands and thus makes his living.
