"Bill, I am at a loss to understand what is meant by "preterist." My dictionary does not have the word. I gather that it denotes a particular viewpoint for understanding the Scriptures. Thanks for your help"

I am glad to see this as a full post rather than just a comment on my post about The Grammar of the Gospel. Now, I have to get out my dictionary to chase down some of the terms you are using. It should be a good education for me!"
Earlon William (Bill) Carsley commented on Ellis Hein's blog post The Grammar of the Gospel"Thank you for such a well presented statement, Ellis. All that you said is true to scripture. Jesus made it pretty clear when he concluded the Sermon on the Mount by warning that only those who "hear" and "do" his…"
Earlon William (Bill) Carsley commented on Ellis Hein's blog post The Presence of Christ"I say, "Amen!" Many "religious" folks seem to have this false notion that God's physical creation is somehow bad. But this is really a gnostic and Greek concept - very foreign to the Hebrew Scriptures (and also…"
Ellis Hein commented on Patricia Dallmann's blog post For God is Not the Author of Confusion"Pat, I have read your post several times and thought much about it. I have a few comments to make, that don't seem completely connected to each other other than they have arisen out of what you are saying.

John Leighton left a comment for Ellis Hein"You asked me about opportunities for the early Quaker message in the HK meeting. There are two Quaker groups in HK - one is an outreach of EFI amongst Filipino people. The other, my meeting, is an unprogrammed 'liberal' meeting.…"

Ellis Hein posted a blog postThe Presence of Christ
I am often running into the notion that in order to achieve salvation, in order to come into the presence of Christ, we must somehow rid ourselves of all things physical. Yesterday, in worship, the following came to me.We do not come into the presence of Christ by getting rid of the physical and its distractions. Rather the presence of Christ comes to us to make the flesh holy and to bring all creation into holy order.Ellis See More
Ellis Hein commented on Stuart Cummings's blog post Surprised and delighted!"Stuart, I tried and could not find anyway of contacting this person.

In Answer to the Seminar, Different Paths up the Same Mountain
The following epistle of Fox's has a lot to say in answer to the seminar John Gibbs reported on. This epistle clearly points out the difference between the path the early Friends were walking and the "Different Paths..." concept.
FRIENDS,
In the power of life and wisdom, and dread of the Lord God of life, and heaven and earth, dwell; that in the wisdom of God over all ye may be preserved, and be a terror to all the adversaries of God, and a dread, answering that of God in them…

The Grammar of the Gospel
Are you satisfied knowing you or your group proclaims a Christian message rather than the Christian message? The difference between that indefinite article "a" and the definite article "the" is profound. And no, claiming to have the Christian message is not arrogance. It is about our position before Christ and the role he plays in the life of the individual and the life of the Church. A brief listing in the table below makes clear the…

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,

- 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.
