The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber is kinda making me go "wow he gets it" cause my deep seated hatred for reform calvanistic theology goes all the way back to when I was like 9 at a anabaptist christian camp and they hired a bunch of nazarines for some reason and they were all like, strict and boring losers!!! They beleived in predestination which anabaptists arent about and also I feel that the music that year was lacking as well for that reason. Also id bible quiz againt nazarines and they just like, were taking it way to seriously. Im Like bruh fr lighten up, acting like youre gonna get paddled of you dont know the answer to a situation question (who said it...and to whom? "Feed my lambs") but they probably would. Thats just the vibe of the nazarines

Thursday, 7 October 1830 (travel journals)

5 1/2

10 35/..

stood looking at maps – out at 7 1/2 for 3/4 hour –

to the cathedral – very neat plain white washed church within – broad handsome nave with side chapels – and windows of the apsis painted glass – 3 double Corinthian columns (red with white veins marble) on each side the chancel and high altar finished at each end towards the nave with 1 Corinthian column and one ditto pilaster – great many pictures none very good – but some tolerable –

then stood looking at the fine view from the rampant on Esplanade at the back of the cathedral broad street from which Nazarin steps down to the river and by which we came –

the river broad and beautiful mills upon it and an artificial cascade very picturesque with the road winding up to the town the bridge narrow but 5 I think arches over the river and 5 more for level’s sake over the lower to raise the road to the level of the bridge – just see the 5 ecluses that we left about a couple of hundred yards on our right near to the town on coming – could trace the line of canal by the trees almost by the Montagne percée which is near Nissan and for paying our Extra post one might have turned left and seen – the mountains we had on our left and that were close to us soon after Narbonne are the mountains noires which join the Cevennes –

got a young man to go with me to the remains of the amphitheatre – tout près de la fontaine and the hotel de la Croix blanche – perhaps some of the arches form the stables of the hotel – went a little lower down in the town – all the remains is a part of a sort of vault in which the people have made pigsties and wine cellars – 2 men in a wine tub treading out the Frontignan – tasted juice as it trickled from the tub – very good – the next process would be to le faire repasser (strain it) –

Bezières really a little town worth seeing – streets narrow and several little places and several Inns – but none of the last good for the hotel du nord (the best – that we were at) is merely a cabàret as to comfort – we were very ill attended upon – I never had a worse dinner or so bad in all my riding tour – good bread and milk this morning – the hotel du nord is on one immense place not built upon –

Lady S–‘s [Stuart’s] coach wheels wanted 2 or 3 hours’ repairing – doubt whether she would go to Cette [Sètte] – at last decided not – from Beziers look down upon fine rich vine plain –

Lady S– [Stuart] thought the winding up to the town last night – the river – the cathedral to the top – the altogether would have made very near as good a picture as Heidelberg – (C– [Charlotte] said there were many tamarisks yesterday)

our country today quite flat but road lies thro’ a garden of vines and olives and a few mulberries and almonds the soil is light, reddish-sandy-clayey the colours of Cheshire red sand stone – in places a little gravelly – and in places little pits by the road side of a conglomerate of gravel cemented by this red clayey sandy soil – the vines are low, and no where supported by anything anywhere hereabouts never since Toulouse and before –

fine view of the mediterranean glittering like a sheet of polished silver at 10 minutes from Béziers – the mountains noires 12 or 14 leagues from B– [Béziers] as my friend whom I met at the cathedral walk Told me – they form a fine wavy line of boundary all along our left but thro’ rocky and bare are of only moderate height – very few horses here – almost all mules for draught – fonts and wagons full of baskets of grapes – a few people gathering grapes, but the vintage nearly over, and the grapes almost all on the road or in the press – (the skins of the grapes are dried, and used for fuel) –

Bégude de Jordy a 3 story house and good very pretty garden, – with several fountains – Degheendoole is the name as pronounced of the plant tree producing the berries like large round haps and haws they gave us for dessert yesterday and that I saw in the market at Narbonne – was once a handsome chateau – with fine avenues, in a charming country with everything to make it agreeable – here one begins to see the plants of a pays chaud – and all about here seems a little wooded – great many poplars – here the olive trees are a good size perhaps as much as 2 feet circumference at 2 feet from the ground a few oliviers with fruit on – and at 10 1/2 a fig tree by the road side – (plenty of tamarisk today) and begun with others perhaps 8 inches or more circumference – quite little trees – among the olives, – and descend into the rich wide Extended valley or plain of the river of St. Michel – quite a garden of vines and olives road shaded here by avenue of platanus – the little côtes or hills all covered with vine and olive – the former yellow (golden) the latter silvery green – silver – but clouds of dust as yesterday – delightful fresh air – Fahrenheit now (10 40/.. a.m.) 64° out of the sun on the carriage seat –

at Pezenas at 11 6/.. seems a nice little town – Lady S– [Stuart] out of sight – gone to the hotel – I drove to the post and off as soon as I could for Mèze whence as they say I ought to turn off for Cette [Sète] without going to Gigean – nice look back upon the town with its 2 or 3 churches? village of Gabian and Mont St. Loup all too far out of my way –

about 10 minutes from the town beautiful piece of new road a Chaussée over the flat – on low arches – from 10 to 15 but from the ground? about 5 or 600 yards long and about 30 feet wide up to the 4 or 5 arched narrow bridge over the broad handsome river Herault Hérault the Chaussée continues a considerable distance beyond the bridge still on arches (but they are rather more distant) till it wears itself out – the flat looks reddish soil here – the hills look of white sandy nature – no appearance of having been rain here for long – none at Beziers these 7 weeks – the Chaussée by about 1 1/2 feet high Thick Square poste about every 6 yards – capital job – avenue of platanus again – poplar mulberry, and a few elms and ashes the last pruned quite bare, and some appearance of woodiness vines and olive

at 11 50/.. the little town of Montagnac – here as every where busy wine-making – at 12 10/.. the sea seems near and Fahrenheit 84° in the sun – rather jolting road – ‘Tis indeed the blue mediterranean the little Town of Mèze close its shore – just pass round the end of the town and off for Gigean – the coast very low – what are those white things (like houses) I saw from long before arriving at Mèze? good view of Cette [Sète] all along, and towns and villages and vineyards down to the water’s edge Enface the mountagnes noires (near) seem to dip down into the sea –

Gigean a little town much like the last – In turning the carriage after the horses were put to, the off horse got fast and great piece of work to get him loose again – had him to lift up with staup – the mountains noire double the Town to fall into the sea below it – the round tower of an old castle on the mountain just above the town – Deluged with dust – can see nothing for it –

Off from Gigean to Cette [Sète] at 2 3/4 a garden of vines and olives here as elsewhere all today and yesterday from Narbonne the route de Traverse very near as good as the grande route – Tis in fact 1 1/2 poste but I must pay 2 poste – pass close under the mountains noires all covered with little fragments of rock that give them that sterile hoary appearance in fragments the colour of Cheshire red sandstone white lime stone wall along the road side – singular drive amid vines and lime kilns (not burning and limestone walls) and hoary limestone covered mountains and the dark blue meditteranée en face with here and then a snow white sail quite in the distance and what town at a little distance (left) – here and there a man earthing up the vines – a vineyard unreaped – the grapes lie as it were in one large solid mass about the bottom of the vine –

delightful fresh breeze from the sea or the sun would be intolerably hot – I feel it burning my face even in spite of the air – pass over long bridge (about 50? arches) over the shallow and pass the handsome canal (left Lyons right Toulon Canal winds (right) along the bridge pont de Parade into Cette [Sète] – and a fine chausée turns at right angles from the end of a fine bridge (right) to Cette Sète, all along the canal just parted from the Lagune by a narrow stripe of brush-wooded ground enlarging towards the foot of the hill at the foot of which stands Cette [Sète] –

a narrow stripe (left) parts us from the other side the Lagune See the Pyrenees thro’ the haze (to the right en face) – and the 2 mammelons of Caingon? Largish looking town – the citadel on the bow of the wine clad hill above, and behind it –

arrived at 4 – the Grand Galion is but a cabaret, but my room is tolerable and a gentleman is Turned out for me that I know my bed will be aired – went out at 4 1/2 and came in at 6 55/.. – went to the Tour des pilotes at the top of Mont St. Clare whence is made the best wine de ces pays – fine view of the sea and salines Towards Perfingnan (too hazy to see the Pyrenees) and of the Town –

Chapter 3: An anthropological conceptualization of self: the self as embedded in culture

Our culture is a big reflection of our great and complex history. It is influenced by most of the people we have interacted with. Filipino culture is unique compared to other Asian countries, and beliefs apply every day in the life of the Filipinos and reveal how rich and blessed the culture the people have. When children or young people greet or say goodbye to their elders they typically do so by taking the right hand of the elder with their right hand and touch the back the elder's hand lightly on their forehead. It is a way of giving respect to the elders and I believe that is also a way of receiving blessing to the elders. Foreign visitors in the country are treated with the utmost respect. This trait is usually seen during fiestas and holidays where many Filipinos are giving their best to entertain their visitors well. It is amazing to see that even the simplest home along the road opens their home to a stranger. For Filipinos, to be able to serve others gives them honor of showing true friendship. Filipino Hospitality is a trait you can't take away from them. The Philippines is one of two predominantly Roman Catholic nations in Asia-Pacific. Their habit of going to church and often praying reflects that Filipinos have a deep faith and belief when it comes to religion. They are very devoted to religions that sometimes many take the risk of their lives just to touch the Black Nazarine (in Quiapo Manila). For many, it is just a choice between their faith and fears. Filipinos believe that having a strong devotion may lead to a better life and their guidance to face everyday life. The Filipino culture, in general, could be considered as one of the richest culture in the world because we are so much dedicated in the things we have lived up to this day.

We need to understand that in God’s economy, the kingship was not completed in the Old Testament. According to our natural concept, it is sufficient for God Himself to be King, and as long as God Himself is King, then there needs to be no other development related to kingship. However, that is only part of the truth. There is in the universe an enemy rebelling against God’s rule. And this enemy must be dealt with thoroughly. But the enemy is a creature, and God the Creator will not lower Himself to deal with a creature. That would be a dishonouring to Him; He will not do it. So the principle is there must be another creature to deal with that creature. Maybe you would say, “Why not use a super angel?” Well, from what we know it was the super angel who rebelled. So this is astounding: God created human beings with the twofold comission of expressing Him and of reigning on His behalf, and of defeating and subduing His enemy. Therefore, there must be a Man capable of exercising the full authority in the universe. And God intends that this Man, who of course is the God-man, the Son of man, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, have helpers, have co-kings. So according to the counsel among the three in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the decision was made that the second, the Son, would become a human being conceived of the Spirit with the Father dwelling in Him; that He would solve the problems in the universe, mainly the problems of sin and rebellion. And the Lord Jesus, according to Philippians 2, emptied Himself and humbled Himself and became a man, even a slave, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. By that obedience, He counteracted the rebellion of the enemy. Then He died on the cross for our redemption, for the fulfillment of God’s purpose with the release of the divine life. And on the cross, according to Hebrews 2:14, He destroyed the devil, who has the power of death. The enemy and all of his followers need to be reminded: you have been destroyed by a Man! Jesus the Nazarine has destroyed you, nullified you, brought you to zero! Satan you’re a loser! The biggest loser in the universe! Then according to 1 Peter 3:18, while this One was being put to death in the flesh, He was being enlivened in the Spirit, the Spirit of His divinity. Then when He died in the flesh and His body was buried, in this enlivened Spirit, He descended into the realm of death, the deepest part of Hades, the abyss, and He proclaimed to the evil angels bounded there His victory over their ruler on the cross. We know, furthermore, from Revelation 1:18 that when the Lord resurrected, He told John, “I am the living One; and I became bdead, and behold, I am aliving forever and ever; and I have the ckeys of 2death and of Hades. The Lord didn’t run out of death as if He were afraid. There was no panic. According to Acts 2:24, death tried to hold Him; it was impossible for death to hold Him. The resurrected Christ instructed the eleven apostles to meet Him on a mountain. In Matthew 28:18 He said this: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” That’s universal; that’s absolute. This Me is a man. Not a mere man, we admit; a unique man, a God-man. But all authority nevertheless was given to Him. As described at the end of Luke and in the beginning of Acts, while He was blessing them on another occasion, His body was lifted up and He was carried out of their sight. But if we study Colossians, Hebrews, and especially Revelation, we see that once the Lord ascended in glory, there was a coronation; there was an enthronement before all the heavenly beings and the Lord Jesus, the man Christ Jesus was made the Lord, the Christ, the King, the Leader, the Head. Now the King in the universe is not God alone. It’s not the Son of God as God alone. It is the Son of God who became the Son of Man and who in resurrection was designated the Son of God by the Spirit with His humanity and then ascended and resumed His position in the Godhead as the glorified, enthroned God-man. The Bible uses different terms to describe Him. Ac 2:36 says, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified.” In Acts 5:31, He’s called the Leader or the Prince and the Saviour. In Revelation 1:5, He’s called the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I don’t know if there are very many God-fearing kings on the earth or God-honouring presidents. But the fact is, you’re not the real ruler. Jesus is the ruler of the kings of the earth. There is a King in this universe. There is a Lord. There is a ruler and it is the man, the God-man, Jesus Christ. And God made Him the Head over all things to the church.

Reigning in Life Message 2 “Being Saved to Reign” Why do we need to be Kings? How did Jesus as a man come to be in authority?

SISTER LUCIA CARAM

A Catholic nun in Spain has caused outrage after she suggested that the Nazarine Mary may not have been a virgin after all. The controversial Dominican nun invited the ire of the Catholic Church who responded to her statements in anger.

Today we know very well we are just a sort of apes, all religions are wrong, there is no God, there is no afterlife, and all miracles are hoaxes. God is the most…
