Adam Marsh - Adam Marsh Adam Marsh (Adam de Marisco) (d. c. 1258), English Franciscan, scholar and theologian, was born about 1200 in the diocese of Bath, and educated at Oxford (Greyfriars) under the famous Grosseteste. Before 1226 Adam received the benefice of Wearmouth from his uncle, Richard Marsh, bishop of Durham; but between that year and 1230 he entered the Franciscan order. About 1238 he became the lecturer of the Franciscan house at Oxford, and within a few years was regarded by the English province of that order as an intellectual and spiritual leader. Roger Bacon, his pupil, speaks highly of his attainments in theology and mathematics. His fame, however, rests upon the influence which he exercised over the statesmen of his day. Consulted as a friend by.
Adam Mickiewicz - Adam Mickiewicz Adam Mickiewicz (December 24 1798 - November 26 1855) one of the most outstanding Polish poets and writers. He was born near Nowogródek, in the present Belarusian government of Minsk, where his father, who belonged to the szlachta or lesser nobility, had a small property. The poet was educated at the university of Vilna; becoming involved in a secret Polish freedom organization there. After the studies he worked a tutor in regional school in Kaunas (1819-1823). Later he was arrested and put in prison for his political activity. Subsequently he was ordered to live for a time in central Russia. He had already published two small volumes of miscellaneous poetry at Vilna, which had been favourably received by the Slavonic public, and on his.
Adam-God theory - Adam-God theory The Adam-God theory is a Mormon doctrine taught by Brigham Young, dismissed as false by most Latter-day Saints, that Adam was a god prior to the creation, and that he created the earth and colonized it with Eve, one of his wives from another planet. The doctrine may have also included the idea that Adam was the father of Jesus Christ through the Virgin Mary, although Young's view on this latter subject is somewhat ambiguous. A pet doctrine of Brigham Young and his associate Heber C. Kimball, it was unpopular even among many other contemporary Latter-day Saint leaders, and is widely rejected in the Latter Day Saint movement. Brigham Young first taught the doctrine in a sermon on April 9, 1852, when he stated:.
Y-chromosomal Adam - Y-chromosomal Adam In human genetics, Y-chromosomal Adam is the male counterpart to mitochondrial Eve: a real or hypothetical single male human ancestor from whom all male Y chromosomes are descended. Unlike other genes, those of the Y chromosome are passed exclusively from father to son, just as mitochondrial DNA is passed to children exclusively by their mothers. If such a person existed, he probably lived between 35,000 and 90,000 years ago years ago, judging from molecular clock studies. While their descendants certainly became close intimates, Y-chromosomal Adam and mitochondrial Eve themselves never met: rather, they lived many thousands of years apart. They are named after the characters called "Adam" and "Eve" in Genesis, but should not be identified with them. Based on the DNA of peoples living.
Mitochondrial Eve - Mitochondrial Eve A comparison of the mitochondrial DNA of humans from many races and regions suggests that all of these DNA sequences have evolved molecularly from a common ancestor sequence. Under the assumption that an individual inherits mitochondria only from his or her mother, this finding implies that all living humans descend from one woman - possibly one pre-human woman - who researchers have dubbed Mitochondrial Eve. Based on the molecular clock technique, Eve is believed to have lived about 150,000 years ago. Family trees suggest she lived in Africa. Although researchers named her after the Biblical Eve, mitochondrial Eve was not the sole living female of her day. Researchers believe as many as 20,000 individuals of Eve's species may have lived at the same time as.
Vegetarianism - meat" (mammal meat -- beef, lamb, pork, etc.) while still consuming poultry and seafood. Others might feel that the suffering of animals in factory farm conditions is the main consequence they want to avoid, so they might eat animals raised under humane conditions or hunted in the wild. This is not considered true vegetarianism, but may be called semi-vegetarianism or Pesco/Pollo vegetarianism (see above). Many vegetarian advocates, however, like to make "vegetarianism" as broad and all-encompassing as possible. Larger vegetarian diet photo Motivations A person's decision to become a vegetarian may be influenced by a combination of factors. Religion: A majority of the world's vegetarians follow the practice for religious reasons. Many religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism and especially Jainism, teach that ideally life should always be valued and not willfully.
Kol Nidre - by many communities of western Europe, this prayer has often been employed out of context by anti-Semites to support their claims that Jews cannot be trusted.

James Barry (painter) - tradition of the landing of St Patrick on the sea-coast of Cashel, and of the conversion and baptism of the king of that district by the patron saint of Ireland. It was exhibited in London in 1762 or 1763. By the liberality of Burke and his other friends, Barry in the latter part of 1765 was enabled to go abroad. He went first to Paris, then to Rome, where he remained upwards of three years, from Rome to Florence and Bologna, and thence home through Venice. His letters to the Burkes, giving an account of Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian and Leonardo da Vinci, show remarkable insight. Barry painted two pictures while abroad, an Adam and Eve, and a Philoctetes, neither of them of any merit. Soon after his return to England in.
Jibril - will blow the horn announcing Judgement Day. Gabriel is most frequently confused with Michael (Blue, or East, Water), the angel who holds a sword and guards the gates of Eden (later heaven) against Adam, Eve, and their descendants. The other two main angels found in the literature are Raphael (Yellow, or South, Air) and Uriel (Green, or West, Earth). All four of these angels are invoked in some early Christian rites guarding the four quarters, or directions, and the colors associated with them are associated with their "magical" properties..
Jubilee (Christian) - unchanged ever since as one of the primary conditions for gaining the Roman Jubilee. The Jubilees of 1390 and 1423 The celebration next following was held in 1390, and in virtue of an ordinance of Pope Urban VI, it was proposed to hold a Jubilee every thirty-three years as representing the period of the sojourn of Christ upon earth and also the average span of human life. Another Jubilee was accordingly proclaimed by Pope Martin V in 1423, but Pope Nicholas V, in 1450, reverted to the quinquagesimal period, while Pope Paul II decreed that the Jubilee should be celebrated every twenty-five years, and this has been the normal rule ever since. Subsequent Jubilees The Jubilees of 1450 and 1475 were attended by vast crowds of pilgrims, and that of 1450.
Important verses from the Bible - sin. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (KJV) Even though Adam and Eve are described as eating the fruit, they did not "die" immediately (in the physical sense). According to the Unification Church interpretation, they "died" in a spiritual sense: their relationship with God was cut off..
Irenaeus - The Shepherd of Hermas, however he makes no references to Philemon, 2 Peter, 3 John and Jude. Irenaeus was the first Christian writer to list all four and exactly four of the now canonical Gospels as divinely inspired, possibly in reaction to Marcion's edited version of Gospel of Luke, which he asserted was the one and only true gospel. His theology The central point of Irenaeus' theology is the unity of God, in opposition to the Gnostics' division of God into a number of divine "Aeons", and their distinction between the "High God" and the wicked "Demiurge" who created the world. Irenaeus uses the Logos theology he inherited from Justin Martyr, but prefers to speak of the Son and the Spirit as the "hands of God". Christ, for him, is the.
Ishmael (novel) - world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitable, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now." Ishmael goes on to help his student discover what physical law the Takers have rejected as applicable to them and thus not lived in accord with. This law is grounded in the fact that "man is not alone on this planet. He is part of a community, upon which he depends absolutely." This being the Community of Life. The law which he is referring to is the Law of Limited Competition, or the Law of Life , which is in short, "you may compete to the full extent.
Hieronymus Bosch - from abroad. In 1488 he joined the Brotherhood of Our Lady, an arch conservative religious group of some 40 influential citizens of s'Hertogenbosch. Hell , the right panel from the triptych Garden of Earthly Delights (1504-1505) He produced several triptychs, works of three paintings on wooden panels that are attached to each other. Among his most famous is The Garden of Earthly Delight which was created 1504-1405. This triptych depicts paradise with Adam and Eve and many wonderous animals on the left panel, the earthly delights with numerous nude figures and tremendous fruit and birds on the middle panel, and hell with depictions of fantastic punishments of the various types of sinners on the right panel. These paintings have a rough surface from the application of paint; this contrasts with the.
Hubert van Eyck - in 1424. His principal masterpiece, the "Adoration of the Lamb" (see picture below), commissioned by Jodocus Vijdts, lord of Pamele, is the noblest creation of the Flemish school, a piece of which we possess all the parts dispersed from St Bavon in Ghent to the galleries of Brussels and Berlin,—one upon which Hubert laboured till he died, leaving it to be completed by his brother Jan van Eyck. Almost unique as an illustration of contemporary feeling for Christian art, this great composition can only be matched by the ”Fount of Salvation,” in the museum of Madrid. It represents, on numerous panels, Christ on the judgment seat, with the Virgin and St John the Baptist at His sides, hearing the songs of the angels, and contemplated by Adam and Eve, and, beneath.

Gentleman - in Great Britain long confined to the peerage. The term gentry (from the Old French genterise for gentelise) has much of the significance of the French noblesse or of the German Adel. This was what the rebels under John Ball in the 14th century meant when they repeated: When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? John Selden in Titles of Honour, (1614), discussing the title "gentleman", speaks of "our English use of it" as "convertible with nobilis" and describes in connection with it the forms of ennobling in various European countries. William Harrison, writing a century earlier, says "gentlemen be those whom their race and blood, or at the least their virtues, do make noble and known". But for the complete gentleman the possession of a coat.
Ghent Altarpiece - most of which painted on both sides. The upper row on the front shows Christ the King flanked by the Virgin Mary and St John the Baptist. The insides of the wings represent Musician and Singing Angels, and Adam and Eve. The central part of the lower row shows the Adoration of the Lamb. The original lower left panel The Just Judges was stolen in 1934. Until now it has never been found. The original panel has been replaced by a copy made in 1945 by Jef Vanderveken.
