A main staple of Christian doctrine is the spiritual warfare for the human soul between God and Satan. Satan is presented as an evil angelic being ousted from heaven and doomed to an eternity in the realms of hell, kept company by disobedient and unrepentant human souls.
I was taught this doctrine as a Christian, but have sense discarded it for the acceptance that Satan is a concept that personifies the destructive interactions between humans and defined as varying types of evil. Abandoning deeply rooted concepts such as Satan and hell for me didn’t just happen haphazardly but became permissible only after a careful study of Satan’s evolution through the old and new testaments and other ancient religious texts.
Satan in the Old Testament
In Christian theology Satan is first introduced in the book of Genesis as the serpent in the story of Adam and Eve. Like much of the doctrinal basis for Satan, this occurs as an act of scriptural conflation. The Genesis text does not assign the serpent with the stature of Satan, but as an animal to be punished by curse for misleading Eve. In antiquity people would have not thought of the snake as the being of Satan because the concept of an evil being preying upon weak human souls was not yet introduced. It would become a reference to the modern idea of Satan when future generations of doctrine creators combined the snake of Genesis with misconstrued descriptions of Venus, and the dragon mentioned in Revelation to create a portrayal of a being that opposed God, as an effort to absolve God from the horrific maladies afflicting human existence.
The Hebrew texts of the Old Testament offer the word ha-satan, translated the satan, which means to obstruct or oppose as the accuser or adversary. The article of ha (the) denotes that it is a title being bestowed upon a being rather than the name of one.
In the early books of the Old Testament, the Satan is represented as an opponent who misleads, misdirects, and in the case of Job, tests and prosecutes, the faithful before God. Either as a human or angelic opponent, or as an abstract evil of the self, the Satan is a subordinate acting in accordance to the will of God. It begs the question then, if Hebrews saw Satan in this way why would early Jewish Christians, and even Jesus, have seen it differently?
Satan in the Midst
Between the oldest writing of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, a period of time elapsed where early Hebrews became influenced by the religions of other cultures. During the period when Israel was taken into exile by the Babylonians the Israelites were introduced to religious beliefs which challenged their own. In the interim period between the oldest writings of the old and New Testament, Israelites were introduced to religions like Zoroastrianism and Hellenism and began adopting cosmological ideologies into their beliefs, and with it the revision of their understanding of the forces behind good and evil, and the acceptance of angelic and demonic beings. The Book of Enoch references the binding of a demonic being called Azazel before the deluge that will destroy the world. Since the Book of Jude contains comparable scripture to that of Enoch it would seem to indicate that the writer of Jude was familiar with the Book of Enoch. During this time the concept of the Satan of the New Testament begins to appear, seemingly influenced by the good God named Ahura Mazda, and the evil opponent named Angra Mainyu of Zoroastrianism.
During this inter testament period the Septuagint written in Greek emerged. The Septuagint is thought by many scholars to be the text used by early Christians. While mainstream rabbinic Jews rejected it as valid Jewish scripture, it, along with changing cosmological ideology still influenced many early Jews. Eventually ancient Judaism would fracture into many sects including the Pharisees, the Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes and Hellenistic Jews. Among these varying cosmologically influenced beliefs in opposition to traditional rabbinic Jewish beliefs the idea of Satan as an evil being and his fall from heaven would develop.
New Testament Satan
In the New Testament Satan is referenced as an evil being much more vividly. Often Satan is referred to as the devil, translated from the Greek word diablos, meaning liar, confuser, and slanderous accuser. The New Testament focuses on the life and gospel of Jesus, and Jesus’ ideas about Satan take center stage. It is obvious from a literal reading of some text that Jesus is claimed to hold a strong belief in Satan. He spoke about the kingdom of Satan. He claimed that he saw Satan fall from Heaven. He called those who opposed him sons of Satan. He cast out demons and even claimed himself greater than Solomon, a renowned demon sorcerer and exorcist. But these are literal interpretations of Jesus’ comments. A different interpretation is to read them with the understanding that Jesus may have said them within the early Hebrew concept of ha-satan, the adversary, opponent or evil inclination within. Either way will make sense but the Christian religion did not develop from a non-literal interpretation and the evil being of Satan would grow in stature with the interpretations and subsequent doctrines of the early church fathers.
The final construct of Satan as the evil opponent of a good and loving God comes from the book of Revelation. According to traditional Christian theology Revelation is the story of the final battle in the spiritual war for the human soul when Satan is defeated and cast into hell. Modern scholarship however considers this book to be a writing intended for a Christian audience of the time, and not a prophetic warning of the world’s end. According to many scholars the writer of this book is writing in regard to the Roman Empire much as the writer in Isaiah wrote about Lucifer (morning star, aka Venus) to describe the power of Babylon. Interesting is that some biblical historians are now contemplating the idea that the writer in Revelation 18 was describing the eruption of Vesuvius and destruction of Pompeii as evidence of God’s wrath against the wicked and justice for his faithful enslaved in Rome.
The Satan of the Church Fathers
The devil as we know him today is thought to begin with the conflation of scriptures by Origen. He pieced together references from Job, Isaiah and Ezekiel to argue that Lucifer, the Prince of Tyre and Leviathan of Job were identical to the devil. Tertullian had taught that Satan, the foremost angel, abused his free will and being jealous of humans sought to teach them to do the same. Origen and Augustine also promoted the idea that the devil was envious not only of humans, but also envious of God resulting in his fall from Heaven and the desire to deceive and capture weak souls to his servitude.
The Satan of the Middle Ages
During the Middle Ages Satan figuratively becomes a lion seeking whom he may devour. The Crusades and the Inquisitions and subsequent witch hunts are shameful events in Christian history. In addition, fictional works such as Dante’s Inferno and later Milton’s Paradise Lost stirred the human imagination on Satan and Hell blurring the representation in religious texts with fiction. Hellfire preachers utilized the influence of these fictional works to their advantage in increasing the substance of Satan to a fearful audience.
Satan in the Modern Day
Despite protests from Christian fundamentalists Satan is evolving again. Some liberal and progressive Christians are now beginning to view Satan comparable to the dark self as defined by Carl Jung. This new ideology of Satan is similar to the ha-satan of the early Hebrews. The devil is not a being outside of the self, but rather the dark and ugly nature of evil that humans possess in the shadow part of the psyche. It seems that the evolution of Satan is coming full circle. After hundreds of years of Christian doctrines evolving him into a powerful being warring with God, Satan is now returning to the limitations of his original concept, to represent the evil inclination within the human soul.

Directed by: Guy Richie
Running time: 2 hours 6 minutes
Release date: May 12, 2017
Genre: Drama, Action, Adventure, and Fantasy
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures
MPAA Rating: PG-13
In a very loosely based tale on King Arthur legends, the legendary British leader who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries A.D. comes a dynamic style epic prequel only acclaimed filmmaker Guy Richie could imagine. Starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, the film is an iconoclassic take on the classic Excalibur myth, tracing Arthur's journey from his royalty birth, cast off to the streets, and back to the throne.
If by chance you don't know of King Arthur, his Knights of the Roundtable, Excalibur Sword, his wife Guineviere, or Wizard Merlin the Magician, the details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of British folklore and literary invention. His historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians, but the sparse historical background of Arthur is gleamed from various sources, including the Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the writings of Gildas. Although the themes, events and characters of the Arthurian legend varied widely from text to text, and there is no one canonical version, Geoffrey's Historia (completed in 1138 A.D.), which was adapted from such earlier unknown sources, often served as the starting point for later stories of Camelot.
However, this epic costume drama filled with CGI and special effect medieval romps and fantasy monsters that include big-budget physical stunts and chases with rescues, battless, fights, escapes, destuctive crises (floods, explosions, (un)natural disasters, fires, etc., is a far-out take on the myth. This film takes off when the 2 year old child Arthur's (Zac Barker) father Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana) and mother is murdered, and Vortigern (Jude Law), Arthur's uncle, seizes the crown. Young Arthur, escapes by being smuggled aboard a small sea vessel that winds up on the shores of the back alleys in the city of Londinium. As Arthur (now Oliver Zac Barker) is forced to make his way as a thief and beggar on the hard streets, he is taken in by a prostitute in a brothel.
Once a annual challenge to pulling the Excalibur Sword from the stone, that it is solidly secured in and only released by the rightful heir to the throne, young adult Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) does so. Instantly confronted by the sword's influence, he is forced to make up his mind to either join the rebellion with a shadowy young woman named Geinevere (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) assisted by Sir Bedivere (Djimon Hounsou) or remain a street hustler. As the tyranny led by Vortigern becomes intolerable, agrees to join the resistance, but he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons, and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigern along with his fantastical montrous demon army - who murdered his parents and stole his crown to become king.
The fantasy scenes takes the audience to netherworld places (another dimension) where events are ulikely to occur in real life - they transcend the bounds of human possibilities and physical laws. It is a film that have an element of magic, myth, wonder, and extraordinary, appealing to both teenage children and adults.
KING ARTHUR: Legend of the Sword is a period piece spectacular that includes high production values accompanied by granduer.

Each year My Sister’s House Friends hosts a Book Read Night where we feature a different book related to some aspect of My Sister’s House work with Asian/Pacific Islander victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. This year at our 2017 Book Read Night, the featured book is TigerFish: A Memoir of a South Vietnamese Colonel’s Daughter and her coming of age in America. The author, Hoang Chi Truong, will be present.
TigerFish is a memoir of a South Vietnamese Colonel’s daughter, chronicling the tumultuous years growing up in the war-torn country of Vietnam, and the abrupt and brutal regime change that forced her disruptive and disorienting coming of age between two vastly different cultures.
We hope TigerFish will touch you with its message and advocacy for refugees and human rights against indentured servitude.
You can purchase TigerFish through Amazon Smile and a portion of the proceeds will benefit My Sister’s House.

Winter Survival Guide
The motorists' guide to surviving snow, ice, rain and relatives.
In a recent study more than a third of motorists told Halfords Autocentres that they were anxious about driving in the deteriorating weather conditions of winter - with one in ten admitting to being genuinely frightened.
So, amid falling temperatures and rising levels of concern among drivers, Halfords Autocentres has worked with renowned survival expert, former SAS Sergeant Major and author of the best-selling SAS Survival Handbook John 'Lofty' Wiseman to create the ultimate Motoring Survival Guide.
Over the following pages Halfords Autocentres, together with Lofty, hope to share some invaluable advice that will help you avoid being caught out this winter.
From preparing your car and avoid aquaplaning, to fording water, getting out of deep snow and how treating hypothermia - it's all in here.
Disclaimer: the techniques described in this publication are intended to provide motorists with helpful, concise safety advice for use in circumstances that are more likely to occur during the winter. They are not a substitute for professional training and should be applied with caution. Accordingly Halfords Autocentres cannot accept any responsibility for the use or misuse of any techniques described, any resulting loss, injury, or damage that arises as a result.

The Ultimate Joseph Campbell Collection 2015
English + MP3 + PDF + 11.90 GB
About the Collection:
Herein lies the largest collected trove of Joseph Campbell material,
perhaps even more than you will find on the Joseph Campbell Foundation website itself (www.jcf.org).
If you are a fan of Joseph Campbell, you should know about the foundation.
The Joseph Campbell Foundation® was incorporated in 1990 as 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation. They have the following goals:
1. Preserve, protect, and perpetuate the work of Joseph Campbell.
2. Further his pioneering work in mythology and comparative religion.
3. Help individuals enrich their lives by participating in JCF programs.
The majority of this material copyright is held by the JCF, though some of it you won’t find available from the JCF anymore as it has been discontinued or deemed not suitable in favor of a different lecture or series.
Campbell’s ideas should be available to all, though please support the JCF in their goals of spreading Campbell’s legacy.
About the Material:
The bulk of the material presented here has been previously available in some way, shape, or form.
There have been several previous Campbell collections made available from which some of this material has been sourced from.
This collection includes the best copies of all available material which could be located.
Some of the rarer data in this collection includes:
– Uncompressed DVD video files.
– Series II.2 and II.3 of the JCF Lecture Series
-The JCF lecture series (I and II) have been available in different forms:
– Series I was previously released as the six volume “Audio Collection.”
– Series II.1 was previously released as the hard to find “World Mythology and the Individual Adventure” in two parts.
– Series II.2 and II.3 however have (to the best of my knowledge) not been available in any other form prior to this release.
– There are also some other rare items including the “Way of Art” tapes and the “Wings of Art” series on James Joyce.
** Please note that the entire collection may be broken up into more than one upload/torrent file.
** Please review the torrent title and description to ensure the download has the contents required.
About the Media Contents and Formats:
There are several media formats available for download in the collection.
Most will *NOT* wish to download the entire collection, as there is redundancy between some of the files.
This is true not just in the formatting of the data (MKV vs DVD5 vs DVD9), but also in the material itself.
Due to various copyright disputes and other issues, much of Campbell’s material has been released in more than one form over the years.
As mentioned above, the JCF Lecture Series I is the same material presented in the six volume “Audio Collection” – just broken up into different sections.
Each folder will contain additional data regarding info and provenance of media when known.
What is important to note is that Joseph Campbell died in 1987 and therefore all of this material was originally recorded in standard definition. Most of it was originally mastered to VHS and Audio Cassette and later converted to DVD or CD.
Because of this, the MKV video and lower quality MP3 rips may in many cases be as suitable as the original sources for consumption due to the lower quality of the originals themselves.
In some cases, video has been converted to a lower quality (i.e. bitrates) when it appeared not to impact the original sources – be those the originally released material, or simply what was available.
In most cases however, especially with the audio, the highest quality available was kept and it is left to the discretion of the user should they wish to re-encode in a different format.
The decision was made to convert all non-DVD (VOB) video formats to h264/x.264/MKV format.
This was chosen as the newer format of choice (compared to older AVI or the comparable M4V/MP4) due to its slight advantages and its open source history.


Ruth: The Search for a Redeemer
11/25/18 – 12/30/18
Naomi suffers a series of hard losses: leaving her homeland due to famine; her husband dies; and then both her sons also die without leaving an heir. Naomi decides to return to her homeland of Bethlehem and her daughter-in-law Ruth returns with her. Going without much hope, these women needed a redeemer to be restored to their ancestral homeland. For this Advent worship series, we are reflecting on how we are all also still searching for our redeemer, as we long for Jesus’ triumphal return.
December 2, 2018
Ruth went out to gather leftover grain that the harvesters missed, and in the process, she “just so happens” to find her way to the field of her redeemer Boaz, though she did not recognize who Boaz was to her. Ruth may have attributed her wonderful harvest to her hard work or good fortune, but really she benefited from the blessing of her redeemer. So often we too may attribute the good in our lives to our own merit or luck, but are we failing to recognize our redeemer in our midst?
December 23, 2018
As Christmas draws near and we remember our own need for a redeemer, we continue our study of the book of Ruth and Ruth’s need for a redeemer as well. In this most challenging chapter of Ruth, Pastor Evan delves into the lengths to which Ruth went in order to find her own redeemer and then draws comparisons to our search for a redeemer.
A Tale of Two Redeemers
December 30, 2018
Concluding the series on the book of Ruth, Pastor Evan examines a tale of two redeemers: Boaz, the real McCoy who selflessly sought to guide and protect Ruth, and So and So who wanted only what Ruth could give him (ie her land) but did not desire her. In our own search for a redeemer, we are reminded that we must be careful always to seek and align ourselves with our real redeemer, Jesus Christ, and not the counterfeit redeemers of the world.

Whatever the case may be, author and literary agent Donald Maass can show you how to take your prose to the next level and write a breakout novel – one that rises out of obscurity and hits the best-seller lists.

You’ll learn to:
-establish a powerful and sweeping sense of time and place

-explore universal themes that will interest a broad audience of readers
-sustain a high degree of narrative tension from start to finish

“Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it’s your turn. Jump!” Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing. Here are practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft-everything from finding original ideas to developing your own voice and style-as well as the inside story of Bradbury’s own remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays. Zen In The Art Of Writing is more than just a how-to manual for the would-be writer: it is a celebration of the act of writing itself that will delight, impassion, and inspire the writer in you. In it, Bradbury encourages us to follow the unique path of our instincts and enthusiasms to the place where our inner genius dwells, and he shows that success as a writer depends on how well you know one subject: your own life.
Becoming a writer begins with a simple but important belief: You are a writer; you just need to write.

He gives you practical steps to improve your writing, get published in magazines, and build a platform that puts you in charge.

PERSONAL STRUCTURES was initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer. His observation that even in the most distant places artists are occupied with Time, Space and Existence, led to the idea of bringing several of these artists together in publications, symposia and exhibitions.
This book presents an ongoing project
that deals with
questions concerning Time, Space and Existence. It is the second book in this series
and involves the personal participation of 46 artists.
concepts Time, Space and Existence are highlighted in very personal ways and from unusual
points of view. The many photographs of the artworks
and encounters with the artists convey
into their being, ideas and work. Seven Art Projects with established
artists centralize their
thoughts to a great extent. In addition, the
book emphasizes two PERSONAL STRUCTURES exhibitions that were part of
the Venice Biennale in
2011 and 2013. This publication also contains several interviews, artists‘ statements, and symposium contributions.

~Tamika Johnson-Wells~ Preschool Teacher
"Our children of our classes loved Ms. Liliana and her dances and her songs. I enjoyed the fact that she sang the songs in Italian as well as having us sing the song in English to help the children understand the words in the song. I'd recommend if you're looking for a multicultural experience."
~Emily Horton~ Preschool Two Teacher

~Tina Schneider~ Executive Director
"We had the pleasure of listening to Lili share about her books during her presentation at our school. Lili shared some of her art work and illustrations with the students, and they were absolutely hooked! We also learned a variety of different words in Spanish, French and Italian - a great way for our students to be immersed in different cultures. Lili had our 4th - 8th graders end with an interactive dance, too! The joy on our students faces were contagious, and I know they'll be talking about this presentation for quite some time! Thank you!"
~Anna Abboud~ Speech Language Pathologist
"We thoroughly enjoyed having Miss Lilly visit our school. The students were very engaged! Liliana has a wonderful way of presenting that holds the student's attention.

We would love to have Miss Lilly back!"
~Danielle Bennett~ Literacy Specialist / Librarian

the Tank Engine is fifty years old. The stories were first
created by an Anglican clergyman, the Reverend Wilbert Awdry,
as a way of entertaining his young son Christopher as he
recovered, in isolation, from scarlet fever. Christopher
demanded that he be told the stories again and again and,
in the way of small children, corrected his father whenever
inconsistencies crept into the retold stories.
In self defense, the Rev. Awdry wrote the first stories
down on available scraps of paper. To add to the story telling,
the Rev. Awdry drew simple pictures of steam locomotives
on the paper along with the stories. A head on view being
the easiest to draw, he drew a row of locomotives standing
in an engine shed with a human face and expression on each
locomotive's smokebox door.
Mrs Awdry believed that these children's stories had some
merit and so pestered her husband to "do something about
them". Through a distant cousin a small publisher, Edmund
Ward, was found who was interested in these railway stories.
The connection was made so suddenly that the Rev. Awdry
had to send the stories as they were written on scraps of
paper as the original manuscript.
