query: The Evil Queen has been portrayed live by Olivia Wilde.

pos: Evil Queen (Disney) The Evil Queen , also known as the Wicked Queen or just the Queen , and sometimes instead identified by her given name as Queen Grimhilde , is the primary antagonist in Disney 's 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and a villain character in the extended Disney 's Snow White franchise . She is based on the Evil Queen character from the European fairy tale `` Snow White '' .   In the film , similar to the Brothers Grimm story , the Evil Queen is cold , cruel , and extremely vain , and obsessively desires to remain the `` fairest in the land '' . She becomes madly envious over the beauty of her stepdaughter , Princess Snow White , as well as the attentions of the Prince from another land ; such love triangle element is one of Disney 's changes to the story . This leads her to plot the death of Snow White and ultimately on the path to her own demise , which in the film is indirectly caused by the Seven Dwarfs . The film 's version of the Queen character uses her dark magic powers to actually transform herself into an old woman instead of just taking a disguise like in the Grimms ' story ; this appearance of hers is commonly referred to as the Wicked Witch or alternatively as the Old Hag or just the Witch . The Queen dies in the film , but lives on in a variety of noncanonical Disney works .   The film 's version of the Queen was created by Walt Disney and Joe Grant , and originally animated by Art Babbit and voiced by Lucille La Verne . Inspiration for her design came from the characters of Queen Hash-a-Motep from She and Princess Kriemhild from Die Nibelungen . The Queen has since been voiced by Eleanor Audley , June Foray , Janet Waldo , Eda Reiss Merin , Louise Chamis and Susanne Blakeslee , and was portrayed live by Anne Francine ( musical ) , Jane Curtin ( 50th anniversary TV special ) , and Olivia Wilde ( Disney Dream Portraits ) , Kathy Najimy ( Descendants ) , and in an alternative version , by Lana Parrilla ( Once Upon a Time ) .   This version of the classic fairy tale character has been very well received by film critics and the public , and is considered one of Disney 's most iconic and menacing villains . Besides in the film , the Evil Queen has made numerous appearances in Disney attractions and productions , including not only these directly related to the tale of Snow White , such as Fantasmic ! , The Kingdom Keepers and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep , sometimes appearing in them alongside Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty . The film 's version of the Queen has also become a popular archetype that influenced a number of artists and non-Disney works .

neg: Theatre of Cruelty (Discworld) `` Theatre of Cruelty '' is a short Discworld story by Terry Pratchett written in 1993 . The name derives from a concept of Antonin Artaud ( Theatre of Cruelty ) .   It was originally written for W. H.

''   The story involves both the Ankh-Morpork City Watch and a parallel of Punch and Judy .   A murder has been committed : a street entertainer , found apparently battered to death with a very small blunt object , on him bite marks from a very small crocodile . Investigating the incident in his typically direct manner , Carrot Ironfoundersson discovers the death was an accident , the man having choked on a swazzle . It emerges that the entertainer had invented a parallel , live-action version of Punch and Judy , using -- and abusing -- a troupe of gnomes as the live cast . Carrot asserts that such brutal theatre could never find favour in Ankh-Morpork : `` That 's not the way to do it '' .

neg: Dramatic soprano A dramatic soprano is a type of operatic soprano with a powerful , rich , emotive voice that can sing over , or cut through , a full orchestra . Thicker vocal folds in dramatic voices usually ( but not always ) mean less agility than lighter voices but a sustained , fuller sound .

Dramatic sopranos have a range from approximately low A ( A3 ) to `` high C '' ( C6 ) . Some dramatic sopranos , known as Wagnerian sopranos , have an exceptionally big voice that can assert itself over a large orchestra ( of more than 80 or even 100 pieces ) . These voices are substantial , often denser in tone , extremely powerful and , ideally , evenly balanced throughout the vocal registers . Wagnerian sopranos usually play mythic heroines . Successful Wagnerian sopranos are rare and often Wagnerian roles are performed by Italianate dramatic sopranos .

query: Jesus started his own ministry.

pos: Jesus Jesus ( -LSB- ˈdʒiːzəs -RSB- ; c. 4 BC -- c. AD 30/33 ) , also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ , was a Jewish preacher and religious leader who became the central figure of Christianity . Christians believe him to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah ( Christ ) prophesied in the Old Testament .   Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically , although the quest for the historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus . Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was baptized by John the Baptist and subsequently began his own ministry , preaching his message orally and often being referred to as `` rabbi '' . He was arrested and tried by the Jewish authorities , and was crucified by the order of Pontius Pilate , the Roman prefect . Jesus debated fellow Jews on how to best follow God , performed healings , taught in parables and gathered followers . After his death , his followers believed he rose from the dead , and the community they formed eventually became the Christian Church .   His birth is celebrated annually on December 25 ( or various dates in January for some eastern churches ) as a holiday known as Christmas , his crucifixion is honored on Good Friday , and his resurrection is celebrated on Easter . The widely used calendar era `` AD '' , from the Latin anno Domini ( `` in the year of the Lord '' ) , and the alternative `` CE '' , are based on the approximate birth date of Jesus .   Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit , was born of a virgin named Mary , performed miracles , founded the Church , died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement , rose from the dead , and ascended into Heaven , whence he will return . Most Christians believe Jesus enables humans to be reconciled to God . The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead either before or after their bodily resurrection , an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology . The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son , the second of three persons of a Divine Trinity . A minority of Christian denominations reject Trinitarianism , wholly or partly , as non-scriptural .   In Islam , Jesus ( commonly transliterated as ) is considered one of God 's important prophets and the Messiah . Muslims believe Jesus was a bringer of scripture and was born of a virgin but was not the Son of God . The Quran states that Jesus himself never claimed divinity . To most Muslims , Jesus was not crucified but was physically raised into Heaven by God .   Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah , arguing that he did not fulfill Messianic prophecies and asserting that his resurrection is a Christian legend .

neg: Kingship of God (Judaism) For an overview see Kingship and kingdom of God  The concept of kingship of God appears in the Hebrew Bible with references to `` his Kingdom '' and `` your Kingdom '' while the term `` kingdom of God '' is not directly used . `` Yours is the kingdom , O Lord '' is used in and `` His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom '' in , for example . It is tied to Jewish understanding that through the messiah , God will restore the Kingdom of Israel , following the Davidic covenant .   The `` enthronement psalms '' ( Psalms 45 , 93 , 96 , 97-99 ) provide a background for this view with the exclamation `` The Lord is King '' . However , in later Judaism ( after the destruction of the First Temple ) a more `` national '' view was assigned to God 's kingship in which the awaited messiah may be seen as a liberator and the founder of a new state of Israel .   , , and all speak of the Throne of God , although some philosophers such as Saadia Gaon and Maimonides interpreted such mention of a `` throne '' as allegory .

neg: James, brother of Jesus James ( Hebrew : יעקב Ya'akov ; Greek Ἰάκωβος Iákōbos , can also be Anglicized as Jacob ) , who died in martyrdom in 62 or 69 AD , was an important figure of the Apostolic Age . Other epithets used to refer to James include James the Just , or a variation of James , brother of the Lord . Roman Catholic tradition generally holds that this James is to be identified with James , son of Alphaeus , and James the Less . It is agreed by most that he should not be confused with James , son of Zebedee .   Catholics and Orthodox , as well as some Anglicans and Lutherans , believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary ; they teach that James , along with others named in the New Testament as `` brothers '' of Jesus , were not the biological children of Mary , but were possibly cousins of Jesus or step-brothers from a previous marriage of Joseph .

neg: Josephus on Jesus The extant manuscripts of the writings of the 1st-century Romano-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus include references to Jesus and the origins of Christianity . Josephus ' Antiquities of the Jews , written around 93 -- 94 AD , includes two references to the biblical Jesus Christ in Books 18 and 20 and a reference to John the Baptist in Book 18 .   Scholarly opinion varies on the total or partial authenticity of the reference in Book 18 , Chapter 3 , 3 of the Antiquities , a passage that states that Jesus the Messiah was a wise teacher who was crucified by Pilate , usually called the Testimonium Flavianum . The general scholarly view is that while the Testimonium Flavianum is most likely not authentic in its entirety , it is broadly agreed upon that it originally consisted of an authentic nucleus , which was then subject to Christian expansion/alteration . Although the exact nature and extent of the Christian redaction remains unclear , there is broad consensus as to what the original text of the Testimonium by Josephus would have looked like .   Modern scholarship has largely acknowledged the authenticity of the reference in Book 20 , Chapter 9 , 1 of the Antiquities to `` the brother of Jesus , who was called Christ , whose name was James '' and considers it as having the highest level of authenticity among the references of Josephus to Christianity .   Almost all modern scholars consider the reference in Book 18 , Chapter 5 , 2 of the Antiquities to the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist also to be authentic and not a Christian interpolation .   The references found in Antiquities have no parallel texts in the other work by Josephus such as the Jewish War , written 20 years earlier , but some scholars have provided explanations for their absence . A number of variations exist between the statements by Josephus regarding the deaths of James and John the Baptist and the New Testament accounts . Scholars generally view these variations as indications that the Josephus passages are not interpolations , for a Christian interpolator would have made them correspond to the New Testament accounts , not differ from them .

neg: Members Church of God International Members Church of God International , abbreviated as MCGI , is an international Christian religious organization with headquarters in the Philippines . It started as a small group with less than a hundred believers in 1977 . It is popularly known in the Philippines as Ang Dating Daan ( English : The Old Path ; abbreviated as ADD ) , the title of its flagship radio and television program and currently the longest-running religious program in the Philippines with Brother Eliseo Soriano as its `` Overall Servant '' ( Former title : `` Presiding Minister '' ) .   Members Church of God International believes that the Almighty God , the Father sent his begotten Son , Jesus Christ , instrumental in the establishment of the `` Church of God '' , first planted in Jerusalem and preached by the apostles . They believe that Gentile nations , including the Philippines , are partakers of the promise of eternal life , through belief in Jesus Christ and the gospel and are not authorized by God to establish their own church , but mere members associated with the same `` body '' or the church written in the gospel by accepting it and executing the doctrines written by the apostles . Guided by this scriptural principle , the church 's registered name contains descriptive words `` ang mga kaanib '' in Tagalog or `` members '' in English to emphasize the group 's association today , as `` members '' of the `` Church of God '' that is already established long time ago and was written in the Bible .   On April 25 , 1980 , in compliance with government regulations , Eliseo Soriano registered the group with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) as Ang Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios Kay Kristo Hesus , Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohan , sa Bansang Pilipinas ( English : Members of the Church of God in Christ Jesus , Pillar and Ground of Truth in the Philippines ) . In 2004 , its registered name was changed to `` Members Church of God International '' ( Tagalog : Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios na Pandaigdig ) in line with the church 's overseas expansion .   For them , the church 's primary objective , as commanded by Jesus Christ , is to propagate the gospel unto all nations until the consummation of the ages , convert sinners to believe and glorify God and to make them qualify for the eternal life in heaven . Currently , MCGI is present in six inhabited continents of the world with more than 1,360 established local congregations . Its flagship program Ang Dating Daan is being broadcast in more than 70 countries , in five languages over terrestrial television , radio , internet and carried by at least seven satellites across the globe .   They believe in God the Father , Jesus Christ the Son , and the Holy Spirit but they adopt a nontrinitarianism orientation , rejecting the Trinitarian concept that there is `` one God in three co-equal persons '' , which for them is against the Bible . They believe that the Father is greater than all , greater than Jesus Christ as declared by Christ himself . They do not observe customs and traditions which they consider to have pagan origins incompatible with Christianity . MCGI members prefer themselves to be called and identified as plain `` Christians '' .   MCGI is not related to the many Church of God groups that descended from the Barney Creek Meeting House revival of the late 19th century in the United States .

neg: Herod Antipas Herod Antipater ( Ἡρῴδης Ἀντίπατρος , Hērǭdēs Antipatros ; born before 20 BC -- died after 39 AD ) , known by the nickname Antipas , was a 1st-century ruler of Galilee and Perea , who bore the title of tetrarch ( `` ruler of a quarter '' ) and is referred to as both `` Herod the Tetrarch '' and `` King Herod '' in the New Testament although he never held the title of king . He is best known today for accounts in the New Testament of his role in events that led to the executions of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth .   After being named to the throne by Augustus upon the death of his father , Herod the Great , in 4 BC , and subsequent ethnarch rule by his brother , Herod Archelaus , Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea as a client state of the Roman Empire . He was responsible for building projects at Sepphoris and Betharamphtha , and more important for the construction of his capital Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee . Named in honor of his patron , the emperor Tiberius , the city later became a center of rabbinic learning .   Antipas divorced his first wife Phasaelis , the daughter of King Aretas IV of Nabatea , in favour of Herodias , who had formerly been married to his half-brother Herod II . ( Antipas was Herod the Great 's son by Malthace , while Herod II was his son by Mariamne II . ) According to the New Testament Gospels , it was John the Baptist 's condemnation of this arrangement that led Antipas to have him arrested ; John was subsequently put to death in Machaerus . Besides provoking his conflict with the Baptiser , the tetrarch 's divorce added a personal grievance to previous disputes with Aretas over territory on the border of Perea and Nabatea . The result was a war that proved disastrous for Antipas ; a Roman counter-offensive was ordered by Tiberius , but abandoned upon that emperor 's death in 37 AD . In 39 AD Antipas was accused by his nephew Agrippa I of conspiracy against the new Roman emperor Caligula , who sent him into exile in Gaul . Accompanied there by Herodias , he died at an unknown date .   The Gospel of Luke states that Jesus was first brought before Pontius Pilate for trial , since Pilate was the governor of Roman Judea , which encompassed Jerusalem where Jesus was arrested . Pilate initially handed him over to Antipas , in whose territory Jesus had been most active , but Antipas sent him back to Pilate 's court .

neg: Matthew 2:4 Matthew 2:4 is the fourth verse of the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament . The magi have informed King Herod that they had seen portents showing the birth of the King of the Jews . In this verse he calls together leading figures of Jerusalem to find out where Jesus was to be born .   In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads :  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the  people together , he demanded of them where Christ should be born .   The World English Bible translates the passage as :  Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of  the people , he asked them where the Christ would be born .   Most scholars take the reference to `` all the chief priests and scribes '' as referring to the Sanhedrin , the council of leading religious figures that played an important role in governing . Some have argued that the phrase `` all the chief priests '' is incorrect as there was only one chief priest at the time . Brown notes that this phrase occurs in other contemporary documents and refers to the leading priests and also the former chief priests .   A more important difficulty with this passage is its historical implausibility . Records from that period show that Herod and the Sanhedrin were sharply divided and their relations acrimonious . Schweizer states that Herod calling and consulting with the council is `` historically almost inconceivable . '' Schweizer believes that the introduction of the Jewish leaders is simply a device so that there will be someone to quote the Old Testament passage that appears in Matthew 2:6 . As with the wording of the previous verse many scholars also see this linking of the Jewish leaders and Herod as an example of Christian anti-Semitism . Gundry agrees that the verse is politically motivated and a deliberate foreshadowing of the persecution of Jesus and his church by the leaders of Jerusalem . He notes that at the time the priest were largely Sadducees while the scribes were mostly Pharisees . Thus the specific mentioning of the two groups might be a deliberate attempt to tar both leading Jewish factions .   Also notable about this verse is that King Herod , who has only heard that the King of the Jews had been born , asks about the Christ , or the messiah .   That the magi , who first noted the star , do not know and are not even asked about where the messiah might be born is a sign that they are ignorant of Jewish scripture . This is evidence to Brown that they are Gentiles , which is also supported by verse 12 's suggestion that they were foreigners : `` And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod , they departed into their own country another way . '' John Chrysostom believed that they were from Persia .

neg: Jewish Christian Jewish Christians , also Hebrew Christians or Judeo-Christians , were the original members of the Jewish movement that later became Christianity . In the earliest stage the community was made up of all those Jews who accepted Jesus as a venerable person or the Messiah ( Christ ) . As Christianity grew and developed , Jewish Christians became only one strand of the early Christian community , characterised by combining the confession of Jesus as Christ with continued adherence to Jewish traditions such as Sabbath observance , observance of the Jewish calendar , observance of Jewish laws and customs , circumcision , and synagogue attendance , and by a direct genetic relationship to the earliest Jewish Christians .   The term `` Jewish Christian '' appears in historical texts contrasting Christians of Jewish origin with Gentile Christians , both in discussion of the New Testament church and the second and following centuries . It is also a term used for Jews who converted to Christianity but kept their Jewish heritage and traditions .   1st century `` Jewish Christians '' were totally faithful religious Jews . They differed from other contemporary Jews only in their acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah . Those that taught that Gentile converts to Christianity ought to adopt more Jewish practices than the Church had already included , however , were called `` Judaizers '' . Though the Apostle Peter was initially sympathetic , the Apostle Paul opposed the teaching at the Incident at Antioch and at the Council of Jerusalem , where Paul 's teaching was accepted by the whole Church . Nevertheless , Judaizing continued for several centuries , particularly among Jewish Christians .   As Christianity grew throughout the Gentile world , Christians diverged from their Jewish and Jerusalem roots . Jewish Christianity , initially strengthened despite persecution by Jerusalem Temple officials , fell into decline during the Jewish-Roman wars ( 66-135 ) and the growing anti-Judaism perhaps best personified by Marcion ( c. 150 ) . With persecution by the orthodox Christians from the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine in the 4th century , Jewish Christians sought refuge outside the boundaries of the Empire , in Arabia and further afield . Within the Empire and later elsewhere it was dominated by the Gentile based Christianity which became the State church of the Roman Empire and which took control of sites in the Holy Land such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Cenacle and appointed subsequent Bishops of Jerusalem .

neg: Kale Heywet Word of Life Church Kale Heywet ( Word of Life ) Church ( KHC ) is the largest evangelical denomination in Ethiopia . Started in the early 1920s by pioneering Serving In Mission , formerly , Sudan Interior Mission , ( SIM ) missionaries , Kale Heywet Church thrived in the south-central and south-western corners of the country during the five-year Italian occupation in the 1930s .   Dr. Thomas Alexander Lambie ( 1885-1954 ) is one of the prominent of early missionaries towards the establishment of the KHC . His entry and stay for some seven years and re-entry with a group of the first batch of SIM missionaries into the country , his fast friendship with the commoner as well as the high-level officials , including the emperor himself , his brave commitment even to relinquish his birth citizenship to be an Ethiopian in order to get the right to buy and retain land titles and build mission stations with less bureaucracy , is a story in its own right . Articles such as this one and his books testify to his life and ministry . In the first decade of the missionary endeavor the mission itself was known locally as `` Lambie 's Mahber '' - Lambie 's association .   The first missionaries had initially planned a trip into the western part of Ethiopia , but after prayer felt they were being led to the South Central area . The early missionary work was concentrated among the Welayta , Kambaata , and Sidama peoples , which are the three most densely populated awrajas ( regions ) in Ethiopia . This area was , as fertile spiritually as it is geographically . At Dembi Dollo Lambie worked with an Ethiopian evangelist named Gidada Solon .   The few missionaries that entered the country had all to exit the country during the country 's invasion by the Italians . They left a handful of believers with the translation of portions of Scriptures and the Gospel of Mark . What the missionaries found when they came back after the five-year occupation of the country was astounding . The handful believers were multiplied by thousands and the fledgling congregation was very strong . The price of planting this church in Ethiopia was at a very great cost , even cost of the lives of three of the earliest missionaries . Nearly 100 missionaries toiled hard for about ten years before they left the country during the invasion . The Italians were not friendly to the Orthodox Church and treated the new Evangelical believers very harshly .   Changed lives were very evident among the converts who had followed the animist way of life . The congregations that grew in the absence of the church planting missionaries was n't lacking anything . In fact , their unprecedented absence was a boon in a way as it gave birth to a church with an indigenous local texture . The devotion of the believers was pure and their worship biblical as well as culture-sensitive . Returning missionaries , aside from church planting in unreached areas , provided needed biblical and theological teachings to the growing church . It was this unwavering commitment to the teaching of the Word of God , that kept KHC healthy and strong .   Kale Heywet Church grew and matured in its primal years not without persecution and challenges . The long established and state supported Ethiopian Orthodox Church tried from long before not to permit missionaries into the country . What crystallized this was the church 's unfortunate experience with the Jesuit missionaries some four centuries earlier . The missionaries were limited in their effort to preach the good news . The nationals were tried and imprisoned .   It was thus that Kale Heywet Church , numerically by far the largest Evangelical denomination , was started and developed . In the seventy years of its history the church has witnessed not a few ups and downs . In the 1950s together with like denominations of the Baptist Church and the Church of Christ , the Yewongel Amagnotch Andnet Mahber ( Gospel Believers ' Fellowship ? ) was established . This body served as the voice of the Evangelical believers in Ethiopia for no less than three decades .   Currently KHC has about or more than 7,774 local congregation and estimated 6,7 million members and adherents . Its 300 + intermediate and higher level Bible Schools , 3 ministers ' training centers , 1 theological college , and 1 seminary ( a consortium ) teach and equip tens of thousands and graduate thousands each year . The multi-faceted ministries of KHC include Evangelism , theological training , Women 's ministry , Youth ministry , Children 's ministry and Children 's Centre , Missions , Urban and Rural Integrated ministries , and diverse training ministries .   The Head Office of Kale Heywet Church is located south of Mexico Square , near the Africa Union Head Office .

neg: Protestant youth ministry A Protestant/Evangelical Youth ministry is a Christian ministry intended to instruct and disciple youths in what it means to be a Christian , how to mature as a Christian , and how to encourage others to claim Jesus as their Savior . This is accomplished through teaching , relationship building and/or mentoring . Youth ministries may vary widely depending on their denomination , size , liberal or conservative outlook and geographic location . The ministries themselves are almost always built on relationships between the youth minister and the student and their shared perception of their relationship to God . Youth have become an integral part of nearly every church 's ministry programming , and youth ministries continue to have a profound impact on the societies in which they exist .

neg: Two by Twos Two by Twos is one of the names used to denote an international , home-based church that has its origins in Ireland at the end of the 19th century . Among members , the church is typically referred to as `` The Truth '' or `` The Way '' . Those outside the church refer to it as `` Two by Twos '' , `` No-name Church '' , `` Cooneyites '' , `` Workers and Friends '' or `` Christians Anonymous . '' Church ministers are itinerant and work in groups of two , hence the name `` Two by Twos '' . The church 's registered names include `` Christian Conventions '' in the United States , `` Assemblies of Christians '' in Canada , `` The Testimony of Jesus '' in the United Kingdom , `` Kristna I Sverige '' in Sweden , and `` United Christian Conventions '' in Australia . These organization names are used only for registration purposes and are not used by members .   The church was founded in 1897 in Ireland by William Irvine , an evangelist with the interdenominational Faith Mission . Irvine began independently preaching a return to the method of itinerant ministry he claimed was set forth in the 10th chapter of Matthew . Church growth was rapid , spreading outside Ireland . Irvine eventually began preaching a new order in which the hierarchy that had developed within the church would have no placement . This teaching became controversial within the church and led to his expulsion by church overseers around 1914 . One of the church 's most prominent evangelists , Edward Cooney , was expelled a decade after Irvine . The church then became much less visible to outsiders for the next half-century . Publication of several articles and books , increased news coverage , and the appearance of the Internet have since opened the church to wider scrutiny .   The church does not explicitly publish any doctrinal statements , claiming these must be orally imparted by its ministers , referred to as `` workers '' . Doctrine of the church teaches that salvation is available only by accepting the preaching of its homeless , penniless ministry workers and by attending the group 's home meetings . The orthodox Christian Trinitarian doctrine is rejected , and members are told to deny any church name . Baptism by immersion as performed by one of the church 's workers is required for full participation . Some in the church claim it is a direct continuation of the 1st-century Christian church , although some believe that a restoration of some sort may have occurred in the late 19th century .   Members hold regular weekly worship gatherings in local homes on Sunday and in the middle of the week . The church holds annual regional conventions and public Gospel meetings . The church claims no official headquarters or official publications . Its hymnbook and various other materials for internal use are produced by outside publishers and printing firms . Printed invitations and advertisements for its open gospel meetings are the only written materials which those outside the church are likely to encounter .

neg: Great Gospel of John The Great Gospel of John ( in the original German published as Das große Evangelium Johannis or Großes Evangelium Johannes ) is a neo-revelationist text by Jakob Lorber , extending to about 5,500 pages in print , published in ten volumes . It is the major work of Lorber 's `` New Revelation '' based on interior locution . It was written in Austria , in the town Graz , from August 1851 until July 1864 .   Leopold Engel in 1891 wrote an addendum in an `` 11th volume '' , purportedly also based on interior locution . Supporters of the authenticity of Lorber 's revelation are divided as to the authenticity of Engel 's .   The Great Gospel is a detailed first-person narrative of Jesus ' last three years of ministry on Earth . It is a day by day account of his miracles , healings , and conversations . It is built on the same structure of the original Gospel of John . Love and works of love are emphasised .   Whereas some of the chapters in the biblical book of John are not covered at all , other sections are added and in much detail . Pharisees are for example revealed to be extremely dangerous , continually plotting against Jesus even though he often forgave them ; at one point , a Pharisaical plot to steal from the Romans is revealed , and at their trial Jesus , whose reputation for keen wisdom is known to the Romans by this time , is consulted . The Roman centurion is willing to execute the Pharisees because of their attempt to bribe him , yet Jesus says to let them go , after dividing their plunder : one third to Rome , one-third to the centurion 's local needs , and one-third to the poor people of the nearby communities , some of whose children had been kidnapped by the Pharisees , to be sold as slaves .

neg: The Awakened, A Fellowship in Christ The Awakened , A Fellowship in Christ was a Christian group founded on Easter Sunday , 1932 , by Melvin L. Severy .   It was created after Severy had been invited to see a painting of Christ by Charles Sindelar . Severy was very taken with the painting , and became convinced that the painting should be used to help gather the people of earth into fellowship centered on Christ . With the help of Sindelar , Severy formed the group for the purpose of preparing the world for the beginning of a new age as promised by the Bible . The group 's future was to be determined on the basis of revelation over time .   Some years later , Guy Ballard came to visit Sindelar 's studios . On seeing the painting , Ballard said the portrait was that of the Master Jesus , whom Ballard had been in communication with . Sindelar was very impressed by Ballard , and turned over the resources of The Awakened to the `` I Am '' Activity .

neg: Matthew 7:29 Matthew 7:29 is the twenty-ninth , and final , verse of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament . It ends a two verse conclusion following the Sermon on the Mount .   In the Westcott-Hort edition of the original Greek , this verse reads :  ην γαρ διδασκων αυτους ως εξουσιαν  εχων και ουχ ως οι γραμματεις αυτων   In the King James Version of the Bible , the text reads :  For he taught them as one having  authority , and not as the scribes .   The English Standard Version translates the passage as :  for he was teaching them as one who  had authority , and not as their scribes .   In the previous verse , the crowd of onlookers were described as astonished at Jesus ' sayings ( τους λογους τουτους , tous logous toutous ) which complete Matthew 's narrative known as the `` Sermon on the Mount '' , and this verse explains why . The final phrase is a verbatim copy of , set in a very different context . Mark 's Gospel simply asserts Jesus ' authority ; Matthew uses it as a concluding argument after presenting the Sermon on the Mount as evidence .   In some translations this verse refers to their scribes . Ulrich Luz suggests that this is a clear indicator that Jesus ' followers saw themselves as separate from the mainstream Jewish community at the time this gospel was written . Scribes refers to the trained rabbis who would quote scribal authorities , and makes clear that Jesus is greater than the most important rabbi . A sermon by the rabbis would have been replete with references to scripture to validate each teaching . The contrast presented by Matthew is that Jesus speaks based on his own authority , not that of past figures .   A few authorities add '' ... and the Pharisees '' ( e.g. Wycliffe 's Bible , the Vulgate Latin , the Syriac , the Persic versions , and the Hebrew edition of Matthew by Munster ) . The Pulpit Commentary suggests that this `` may either be derived from or be an independent gloss due to the fact that the Pharisees were looked upon as the typical Jewish teachers '' .

neg: Matthew 18 Chapter 18 of the Gospel of Matthew contains the fourth of the five Discourses of Matthew , also called the Discourse on the Church . It includes the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Unforgiving Servant which also refer to the Kingdom of Heaven . The general theme of the discourse is the anticipation of a future community of followers , and the role of his apostles in leading it .   Verses 15-17 are of particular significance to Baptists in their support of the principle of autonomy of the local church ( see Baptist beliefs ) .   Addressing his apostles in , Jesus states : `` what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven '' , see also Binding and loosing . The discourse emphasizes the importance of humility and self-sacrifice as the high virtues within the anticipated community . It teaches that in the Kingdom of God , it is childlike humility that matters , not social prominence and clout .

neg: N.K.S.T N.K.S.T stands for the `` Nongu u Kristu u i Ser u sha Tar , '' translated `` Universal Reformed Christian Church , '' a Christian Reformed church based in Nigeria . NKST envisions , by the grace of God , to be a multiethnic Christian community drawn from all nations and cultures of the world and united in the doctrine of Jesus Christ and purpose so as to offer holistic service with available resources to reach the unreached . NKST exists to glorify God through worship and proclamation of the Good News of Salvation to all humanity , and observation of the sacraments as instituted by Jesus Christ , to strengthen the communion of the Saints , to responsibly teach believers and instill self-discipline . The church has its headquarters at Mkar-Gboko in Benue state but has spread all over Nigeria , and even beyond . The members are predominantly the Tiv speaking tribe but other tribes in Nigeria belong to this church . It was first introduced in Sai on 17 April 1911 a village in Katsina Ala local government area of Benue state , Nigeria . Although its headquarters is now at Mkar , Gboko , the local government is in Benue State . The church is the fruit of missionary work undertaken by the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa . Work began in 1911 among the Tiv people in then Gongola and Benue Province . The beginnings were slow -- only 25 baptized Christians in 25 years . In 1960 , due to the apartheid system , the South African missionaries were no longer tolerated in Nigeria and had to leave . In their place the SUM -- Christian Reformed Reformed Church of North America , a branch related to NKST , gave it strong support until about 1985 . In 1957 the church was formally organized as an autonomous , self-supporting , and self-propagating church with first four indigenous ( Nigerian ) pastors . A full translation of the Bible into Tiv was completed and dedicated on 4 November 1964 . The church also has a synod that meets twice in a year . The Church has seven institutions of higher learning : 1 . The Reformed Theological Seminary Mkar , 2 . Reformed Bible College Harga , 3 . School of Nursing Mkar , 4 . College of Health Technology Mkar 5 . School of Medical Laboratory Sciences Mkar , 6 . School of Midwifery Mkar , 7 . and more recently a university , The University of Mkar . The pioneer Vice Chancellor was a renowned academic , Professor ( Mrs ) Nancy Ngunan Agbe . Until her appointment , she was a professor at Benue State University , Makurdi . The current Vice Chancellor is Prof. Emmanuel Hemen Agba , Professor of Physics also coming from Benue State University .   The NKST church has over a Million followership and over 137,115 baptised and professing members . It has a well organised Women Fellowship with 44,514 members . The women fellowship has built one of the most beautiful guest houses in Benue State at Mkar near the Church Secretariat . NKST church has 693 pastors since inception with 572 who are still alive , and about 121 have rested in the Lord . NKST has 4,143 churches all over Nigeria , with 360 well-established congregations . Some of the congregations conduct their services in English , e.g. NKST Anglo - Jos , Plateau State . It also has 57 classes . The church also has 9 hospitals , and 352 primary health centers . It has 53 secondary schools and 500 primiry schools .   The President of NKST now is Rev. Ayohol Ate who took over November 2011 from Rev. J.T. Orkuma as president . The General secretary is Rev. Peter Gwaza Azuana assisted by Rev. Ephraim Mbateren Shir . The President is part-time with the General Secretary as the Administrative officer of the Church . It has about 20 different departments such as Media , Mission , Education , Agriculture , Works , Diaconal ministry , Sunday School , Choir , Audit , Youth etc. which are headed by well dedicated Christians . The Church has recently finished revising the Tiv Bible and has since been sent down to the Bible Society of Nigeria for the final professional work . It has also recently started a Mission station near Abeoukuta in Ogun State with the aim of reaching the Yoruba tribe with Reformed Faith . The Church has been badly attacked in February 2014 by the Tiv/Fulani crisis over grazing land ; so many lives and property worth billions of Naira has be destroyed by the Fulani mercenaries . It was suspected that the Fulanis were using chemical weapons to attack the Tiv original dwellers . The Fulanis have also occupied most of the areas attacked . The NKST has fraternal relationship with Churches in the United States of America , the Netherlands , South Africa , Canada and other parts of the word . NKST as a Reformed Church subscribes to ( a ) the three forms of unity and ( b ) Ecumenical Creeds  a. ( i ) The Heidelberg Catechism ; ( ii ) The Canons of Dort ; ( iii ) The Belgic Confession ; b. Ecumenical Creeds i ) Apostles ' Creed ii ) Nicene Creed ( iii ) Athanisian Creed .

neg: Johannine Christianity Johannine Christianity refers to an ancient Christian community of uncertain existence , which placed great emphasis on the teachings of Jesus , particularly as revealed through the Gospel of John .   Starting as a community of early followers of Jesus who `` defined themselves rather starkly against the Jewish milieu in which they arose , these believers cultivated an intense devotion to Jesus as the definitive revelation of God 's salvific will . They understood themselves to be in intimate contact with him and with one another , under the guidance of the Spirit-Paraclete . They were conscious of their relationship to other believers with whom they hoped to be in eventual union . Their piety found distinctive expression in a reflective literary corpus that explored new ways of expressing faith in Jesus . '' ( Attridge 2006 )   `` Their common life included ritual actions known to other followers of Jesus , but they insisted on the unique spiritual value of those rites . Disputes eventually divided the community . By the middle of the second century some representatives of the Johannine tradition achieved a respected role in the emerging ` great church ' , the interconnected web of believers throughout the Mediterranean that provided mutual support and maintained fellowship under the leadership of emerging episcopal authorities . The Johannine community of the first century bequeathed to the universal church its distinctive literary corpus and estimation of Jesus , which came to dominate the development of later Christian orthodoxy . Other representatives of Johannine Christianity , nurturing alternative strands of tradition , influenced various second-century movements , characterized by their opponents and much modern scholarship as ` Gnostic ' . '' ( Attridge 2006 )

neg: Great Church The term `` Great Church '' ( Latin ecclesia magna ) is a concept in the historiography of early Christianity describing the rapid growth and structural development of the Church in 180-313 AD ( around the time of the Ante-Nicene Period ) and its claim to represent Christianity universally within the Roman Empire . The term is primarily associated with the Roman Catholic account of the history of Christian theology , but is also used by non-Catholic historians .   In modern Catholic usage , the `` Great Church '' broadly means the majority united Catholic and Orthodox Christian church in the West continuing in authority from the Twelve Apostles to today , and all bishops who remained in fellowship with the Bishop of Rome .   The `` epoch of the Great Church '' is counted as beginning around the end of the 2nd century when , despite the persecution of Christians , the religion became established numerically and organizationally , eventually becoming the State church of the Roman Empire in 380 . However , at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 , an Oriental Orthodox branch parted ways with the Great Church due to Christological differences .

neg: Synagogue Church Synagogue Church is a small Christian church in the heart of Nazareth known by this name because above its doorway is an embedded sign : `` the synagogue '' . The structure is currently controlled by the Melkite Greek Catholic Church . Its floor is sunken about 1.5 meters underground , possibly built atop a Crusader church dating from the 12th century . The church was under the control of the Franciscans until the 18th century , when the ruler Zahir al-Umar passed it to the Greek Catholics .  According to Christian tradition , the church is built on the ruins of the ancient Nazareth synagogue where Jesus studied and prayed . In addition , it is where one Sabbath day Jesus went to preach . In two Gospels ( Matthew 13:54 -58 , Mark 6:1 -6 ) , his fellow townspeople got angry with him . Because he was one of them , they did n't trust him to have the authority to preach in that way and to perform miracles . He was amazed at their lack of faith and concluded that a prophet is not honoured in his own home town . In Luke 4:14 -30 , the story differs a bit : There he reads from Isaiah 61:1,2 and the worshippers are pleased . But he tells them that prophets are called to do their work in foreign places rather than at home , because they are not accepted in their own home town . In doing this , he also implicitly declares himself as the Messiah . This sermon infuriates the listeners , who drag him to a cliff to throw him over , but he simply walks through the crowd and leaves .   Little is known of the years Jesus spent in Nazareth , leading scholars to describe this time as `` the hidden life '' or `` the silent years '' . It is thus all the more significant for Christian visitors to find a lone place where such silence is broken -- the Synagogue Church . In 570 , an Italian visitor described the synagogue , and reported that the original Bible was still there , including the bench where Jesus used to sit .

neg: Matthew 2:22 Matthew 2:22 is the twenty-second verse of the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament .

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads :  But when he heard that Archelaus  did reign in Judaea in the room  of his father Herod , he was afraid  to go thither : notwithstanding ,  being warned of God in a dream , he  turned aside into the parts of Galilee :   The World English Bible translates the passage as :  But when he heard that Archelaus  was reigning over Judea in the  place of his father , Herod , he  was afraid to go there . Being  warned in a dream , he withdrew  into the region of Galilee   For a collection of other versions see BibRef Matthew 2:22   Upon Herod 's death his kingdom was divided in three . Judea went to his son Archelaus , who was as great a tyrant as his father . Most notably he killed some 3000 rebels soon after ascending the throne . His cruelty aroused such popular anger that in 6 AD Archelaus was deposed by the Romans in response to complaints from his subjects . As a result the Romans began directly appointing a governor for the area , with Pontius Pilate being a notable example . The concern Joseph expresses in this verse thus fits with what is known from the history of the period . The decision to go to Galilee was also a reasonable one . That region was ruled by Herod 's far more even-tempered son Herod Antipas and there is evidence that the region had become a refuge to others fleeing the rule of Archelaus or the Romans .   One incongruity is that the word translated as reign , more precisely means `` reign as a king . '' This is incorrect , unlike his father Archelaus was only an ethnarch , not a king . Most scholars , even evangelical ones , are content to accept this as the author of Matthew simply being imprecise . There have also been several attempts to explain the discrepancy . Jones notes that Augustus ' decision that Archelaus would only be granted the title of ethnarch occurred six months into his reign . Jones thus thinks it possible that during these first months Archelaus did call himself king , and it would have been during this period that Joseph returned from Egypt .   Joseph is again given important information in a dream . However , this time the author of Matthew does not report on its origin . The vocabulary of the passage and the previous instances make most scholars accept this to be another message from God .   The Gospel of Luke mentions none of this . Most scholars believe this is because Luke sees Nazareth as Joseph 's original home , and thus sees no reason to explain why he returns there . Much time is spent explaining why the family was in Bethlehem at the time of Jesus ' birth . Matthew has the opposite view seeing Bethlehem as the family 's original home , as demonstrated by them having a house in Matthew 2:11 . It thus needs to go into some detail explaining why they eventually move to Nazareth . The important word is that translated as `` withdrew '' in the WEB . Gundry notes that the author of Matthew would have used return if Nazareth was Joseph 's original home and `` withdrawing '' implies leaving for a new location . Schweizer sees this as unambiguous proof that Matthew has Joseph originally from Bethlehem . Evangelicals , of course , reject this view . France states that the author of Matthew does not discuss Joseph 's origin in Nazareth because of his `` typical avoidance of unnecessary detail . ''
