Apostolic Church wants to raise its profile have hit it in the railway town Taught at Hanover - because the course will be made new? That some have thought, when it was announced with great public expense a revision of the ten articles of faith of the New Apostolic Church (NAC). Came out only a few minor editorial changes.
Now it comes to the catechism of the faith community. The new version should be available late next year in print. Until then, training sessions planned. This says a formal announcement
: "As an example, the importance of the 5th commandment is treated to bring the language and participants significance of the new Catechism of hand."
is the fifth commandment: "Thou shalt not kill." Means: The life that has ups and downs of our neighbor's be as sacred as our own life, prosperity and adversity. But this has to do with this law "language and significance of the new Catechism"? Furthermore there is nothing in this official announcement.
one is betrayed, however: The New Apostolic Church wants to raise their profile. Could this mean: to distance themselves further. However, the borders always flowing are. For what this faith community has not taught before 50, 60 years can not be taught. Its main features: The history of mankind consists of 6 000 years, 4000 years before Christ's birth, 2000 years later. Because according to the Bible also shortened the time yet to the New Apostolic Church is believed that Jesus comes back some time before 2000, preserved the NAC members and thus removed before unimaginable disasters on Earth. Then start the Millennial Kingdom of Peace with NAC members as kings and priests who give humanity one last chance.
emerged is the New Apostolic Church to quarrels and disputes from the Catholic Apostolic Community by 1830 in England arose. At the top stood twelve apostles, who were convinced that Jesus comes again in their lifetime. That turned out to be wrong. For this error is known, the Catholic Apostolic community.
In the New Apostolic Church commitment to the error is not common. Changed the pattern of explanation. Example: When the NAC was still small, they said it's because that had already asked Jesus if he would find upon his return to the earth or faith. When this religious community grew, the sign was from God's blessing.
The Catechism of the New Apostolic Church is not the first time been reviewed. Sometimes this was done under political Pressure. Sun 1938, when this faith community wrote to the conditions of membership: "The host application can not be met if the Absorbed be in contradiction of governance is that the New Apostolic Church which permit the carrying of their pastoral activity."
Public recognition is always a driving force of the NAC have been. That was in the Empire so it was with Hitler in such a way that was so in the GDR. The purported political neutrality turned out again and again only as an assertion.
How can there look like a sharpened profile? And how long would it last?
7th February 2011 is also
sex without marriage In
Catholic News is sometimes quite exaggerated. For example: ". Celibacy is a provocation in a world that no longer believes in right to a life after death, this life of constant protest against the general superficiality."
schnurzpiepegal me it is, whether Catholic priests should marry or not. These days also have non-married sex. When the Catholic priests should come out just is not advisable. Feign. not only can you all.
"Celibacy is the constant message of living that this world is not all his joys and sorrows. There are people who have something angers, "it says further in this text, which is from sentence to sentence incomprehensible. The other side makes people angry, or are currently many Catholics angry because children have been abused in this world? They should not merely do so because the Beyond such a thing is not done?
"For there is one's own concept of life made a major question mark. Not just by a text or a call-cuff, but obvious by a life decision. Celibacy is not just lip service, but a life commitment "- is like whistling in that dark forest, home to women and attract
with apples." Undoubtedly, if the death of all would be made, it would make celibacy an idiocy. Why miss the intimate love of a woman, why in the touching encounter with his own children, why on uplifting the sexuality? "Sounds somehow like longing that can never be quite so repressed.
" Why should one even the physical fertility rob in this life? "is a question I really can not answer now. Should not only Catholic priest, but without all Catholics to have sex, and soon no one would ask such a question more.
" Only if the earthly life is a fragment which is to find its consummation in eternity, then this form of life cast a bright light on this outstanding life, she proclaims loudly from a life of abundance, the longing of the people have guessed at all times, the reality but only through the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ and especially his death and his miraculous resurrection of all people has been revealed, "sign would not even be Jesus, for he is sure was that the children come to him. No light could be brighter as children laugh.
" Our company has the celibacy almost like a 'thorn in the flesh', which always reminds convenient or not because the intrusive worries and problems of terrestrial Life are not everything ", creates the Catholic Church is a problem that it is from within the company repeatedly made aware. Because a" thorn in the flesh "at some point be removed. Whether it is urgent or intrusive is more painful is another matter.
And when Catholic priests allowed to marry, we know that there is not the beyond

The Bible in the dock "As the elder said to the younger:
Our father old, and no man is more in the country who could respond to us in the world way.
So come, let us give our father drink wine, and we put to him, that we create offspring from our father. As they made their father drink wine that night. And the first went in and lay with her father, and he's was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
said the morning the older to the younger, Behold, I lay last by my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also, that you go in and put up with him, that we create offspring from our father.
As they made their father drink wine this night also. And the younger also went up and slept with him, and he's was not aware when she lay down and even when she got "

And in the U.S. there is someone who will soon put the Koran in the dock? Burn this book, has Pastor Dr. Terry Jones moved first. to be held instead a process before an Internet vote. The Koran must be defended, but lead where this idea is madness, one can estimate. At ten fundamentalist fingers.

Justice Minister. Jehovah's Witnesses was unconstitutional "The reasons for the refusal, the State Government are serious, he considered the Jehovah's Witnesses have always been not to be constitutional, said Justice Minister Ulrich Goll (FDP), who is also deputy prime minister. " Is now at the "Südkurier.
"If you serve the true God must, you expect resistance by the religionists and persecution on the part of those who love the old wicked world." As the "God Be True" in 1946 in English and in 1948 published in German by the Watchtower Society.
Jehovah's Witnesses are now recognized in twelve of the 16 states as a corporation under public law. In Berlin, the legal battle that lasted twelve years. Then, the Jehovah's Witnesses for the first time about the "evil (German) World" had won. The
there really is no longer likely. In this community of faith is all about 1914. In that year, therefore the devil was cast out of heaven, since there is peace. Is to rule on earth, when the devil is defeated a second time. The second defeat was supposed to teach him, so long as the generation that experienced in 1914, still exists. Has long been convinced of this faith community. But this belief has been shaken.
is always the time for the Jehovah's Witnesses have been scarce. That's why they were always eager to stop service for the supposedly important thing. That was and is: save as many from destruction with changing arguments..
But time for the intervention of courts's has for the Leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses always present. In Baden-Württemberg, they will take that time.
is surprising and remains: Jehovah's Witnesses is not a contradiction at all. Sectarians seem to have always a constricted view.

Church Apostolic - or How to nail a pudding to the wall? "It is important that the churches work together, that they will not compete with each other and that they are internationally." Dortmund has Mayor Manfred Sauer said at a New Year reception. Namely: In the administration of the New Apostolic Church (NAC). Such quotes Manfred Sauer is on the official website of the NAC of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The external representation of this faith community to do now is like trying to nail a pudding to the wall. In Germany, the loss of members on dramatic forms, one building after another, must be sold.
"The Catholic St. Pius X has bought in Germany, another church building. The former New Apostolic Church in Cologne is the seventh church, which had acquired the Order in this country, said the SSPX. Of the 50 branches of the Order in Germany were twelve churches new buildings. The recently acquired church building stands in the district of lime, "which has" world "on 22 December reported 2010th
These "fundamentalists of the Lord" are spreading in Germany? That does not sound good. In France, the Brotherhood continues to fall with radical theories and actions. not even close to right-wing extremists eschew Pius brothers. This lack of shyness, however, belongs also to the history of the New Apostolic Church.
lack of sensitivity has shown this faith community, when she sold two churches to Islamic communities. The motto seems to be: "The main thing, the price is right."
But mistakes have their price. Which also belong to the history of the New Apostolic Church. Thus, the empire has not the first world war is won, Hitler was a criminal and the GDR no stable political system, has been suggested as the chief representative of this community of faith a few months before the collapse of the system.
foreclose As before, however, is long gone in there. This foreclosure was still working as a church leader widespread hysteria and spending the slogan: ". Here are stopped or damned for ever"
But today young whiz NAC members about the world as well as other young people. They collect impressions that do not fit the parallel ideas of their religious leaders, who are always so dumb and even minor Announce milestones such as the recent changes have a rather editing the articles of faith.
past, people sometimes still can at least smile. In a NAK-wedding for example. Then said the priest, the man was the one and the wife of 0 and a 10 together form the What the woman who had accompanied me to this ceremony, the altar cried: "Then I bind myself to a belt and an 8 am" That made me proud, we were together an 18th ..
But then came a public relations man from Switzerland. He took the lead and failed due to the balancing act between "The only true church, we are actually" and "The other churches are not will The New Apostolic Church International at the earliest possible date, of a bookkeeper /: all wrong.. And let himself be retired
Even the New Apostolic Church was back in German hands Maybe that is why published the New Apostolic Church International a week ago this job. " an accountant to set. We are looking for an independent, enterprising, cheerful personality who has the entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy working with numbers. Other requirements include: Professional Certificate of finance and accounting, several years of professional experience in a financial accounting in Switzerland, knowledge of the Swiss VAT law. "
The fact that a German head of NAC in the VAT law of Switzerland knows not particularly seem to understand, but that he also "entrepreneurial thinking" is required, in the sense of the word strange.
