I thank you for posting the passages. I'm away from home reading your posts today. A second reading is necessary when I'm at home and relaxed. George Fox is such a powerful voice and for me to fully comprehend his words I…"

I have a question for you but no other way to ask it. On page 419 of the Nickall's edition of Fox's journal, Fox writes regarding the Fifth-Monarchy Men, "And they looked for Christ's coming outwardly, to set up his…"
Ellis Hein left a comment for Henry Jason, Jr."Welcome, Henry, to the NFF website. I hope you will take a moment to introduce yourself and explain your interest in our work."
Ellis Hein commented on Ellis Hein's blog post About The Antipathy Between Prophecy and Religion"Thanks, Rhonda, for bringing this up. Many people would agree with your statement, "All that's required is to believe in Jesus and the one who sent him." But just to be clear, I will point any and all to George Fox's To All…"
Rhonda Fuller commented on Ellis Hein's blog post About The Antipathy Between Prophecy and Religion"I like to say anybody can become a Christian. All that's required is to believe in Jesus and the one who sent him (John 5:24). So it seems adequate to say there's no religion, though there's more to be said about it. Union in Jesus…"

Lewis Benson's The Antipathy Between Prophecy and Religion is rich, too rich to be properly summarized in a short blog post. In the following distillation, much of value has been passed over. I can't gather the essence of this work into a few short, concise paragraphs. It cries out to be read, reread,…See More

It appears as though the…"

Fox and the Second Coming Part 2
There are many ways which this could be continued. But I think that with the previous post and with the material presented below, it is sufficient to get the direction of Fox's insights on what Christendom refers to as the "second coming of Christ."
I searched through the 8 volumes and found only one reference to "second coming" and that was a phrase used by a detractor. See below. Fox did not use that term, at least in the language we have recorded in the 8 volumes or in That Thy…

Fox and the Second Coming
The "Second Coming" is a hot topic in many Christian circles today, giving rise to much speculation of when it will occur and the order in which certain expected events will happen. One reader expressed a desire to know more about Fox's view of these matters. The following is not an exhaustive listing of all the material available.
"Vol. ?? refers to a designated volume of the Works of George Fox. Nickalls is the editor of an edition of Fox's Journal. The material from Vol. III is…

Faith or Belief: What is the Difference
Belief is a component of faith. But by its nature, belief is secondary. To have any validity, it must be connected to the right thing. George Fox put it this way:
ContinueAnd Christ saith, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is past from death to life.' John v. 24.
Now this is and was their belief in the light, that were the children of the light, and born of God,…

Tom Smith said… We have been in the Minneapolis area for about a year. My major connection with NFF is that for 3 years we attended Manasquan MM with Lewis Benson. My father was a pastor in Indiana YM (FUM) and a missionary in Jamaica and Kenya. He was a student of Friends history and tried to convey the living Christ 24/7. We moved to NJ after my PhD in Science Ed and became "convinced" "unprogrammed" Friends especially with Lewis and other members there. I have been a member or "active attender" in FGC, FUM, Independent(Beanite), EFCI, and Conservative Meetings.
We are now "retired" near our daughter and her family.

Hello Ellis,
b.t.w I emailed Tom Smith, but haven't received a reply yet. I'll track him down somehow, as he sounds like an interesting contact.
Regards,
Peter

- Hi Ellis. As I am a bit isolated here in Portugal, and have no meeting to attend, I am always looking for other ways to surround myself with Quakers. Aside from the Bible and my Quaker Reader, the internet seems to be the best way to do that. I am sure NFF will be a help to me, and I hope to contribute to the mission of NFF as well. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to communicating with you in the future.

Peter Kennedy said… - Greetings from Scotland Ellis. I have been a Quaker for just over 20 years and am saddened that some British Quakers do not seem to be interested in the words of George Fox and the early Quakers, they see them as being secondary to their Quakerism. How often do we hear the words of early Friends quoted in ministry? Fox said that Christ had come to teach his people himself, but we rarely hear his teachings or name in ministry either.

No, it's not my work. It's the abalone inlay on the peghead of my mountain dulcimer. The luthier is Janita Baker.

- Sorry, Ellis. It's rosewood. The luthier told my walnut is too soft for an inlay.
