Otras sectas

============

Los judíos son los hermanos mayores de los creyentes monteistas y como en todos lados cuecen habas, es bueno conocer su historia y su experiencia para, aparte de conocerles mejor, tener los cristianos una referencia a posibles imitaciones.

En el Nuevo Testamento se habla de varias sectas entre los judíos con las que se encontró Jesús de Nazaret,que era judío, like all initial pupil, like the Pharisees , that of the Sadducees or assassins of those witnesses the same tribune of Jerusalem who, in Greek, Paul questioned if the leader of the 4,000 who hid in the desert (cf. Acts 21.38).

also in times of Jesus was in force the sect of the Zealots , Hebrew and Aramaic qanna qan ^ annayya and the Gospels narrate that one of the twelve apostles belonged to her, was the other Simon, not Peter, called the Zealots (Luke 6.15 and Acts 1.13) or the Canaanite (Mc 3.18, Mt 10.4), translated into Castilian qana . Zealot in Greek means "jealous" and Judaism was a tendency to safeguard the purity of the Law

The Maccabees

During the Roman domination of Palestine before Christ was a fanatical self-righteousness in politics, a movement is rooted in nationalism and Maccabees sieges, sprung up in response to certain religious Jews against the policy of the Hasmonean, and an ideal to live "the zeal of God" as the priest Phinehas (Numbers 25, 7 ff) who wanted to end the evil spear of his brothers. It was the priestly Jewish family of the Maccabees , led by Mattathias, who rebelled against Antiochus IV Epiphanes, king of Syria, which sought to impose Greek paganism and achieved independence. At first macabeo was name given to Judas, the third son of that family, but was later expanded to all who participated in the uprising.

John Hyrcanus (135-105 BC), the high priest and head of the nation, had to capitulate against Antiochus Sidetes albeit with very favorable terms. Juan took advantage of the situation to expand territory and gain Samaria and Idumea. By forcing the Edomites to be circumcised, gave rise to one day came to the throne Herod. In 63 BC lost their independence, this time under the power of Rome, and in 37 BC ended the power of the Maccabees when Antigonus was beheaded at Antioch.

After Christ, at the time the attorney Gesio Floro (64-66), appointed by the influence Pompeii, Nero's Jewish wife, their surveys acquired more strength. In the summer of 66, the governor crucified many Jews in Jerusalem and raised in Galilee and around the country movements of revolt. Floro had to flee, the rebels seized power but Nero, Vespasian and Titus instructed to restore order. With 60,000 troops reconquered Galilee in 67 and, by the fanaticism of the Zealots and awkward political tact, reconquered the country and destroyed Jerusalem in AD 70.

The Essenes

is a Jewish sect who was born in 150 BC of a mystery until the twentieth century it was known only to historians references to Pliny, Josephus and Philo. The discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls, once decoded, reveal that they are most likely. Some have an interest in saying that John the Baptist and Jesus were Essenes or at least spent a season in that community or congregation.

In 1947, by chance, were discovered in Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls because he was a boy shepherd in search of a lost goat among cliffs, caves and found the scrolls. Was to sell to earn some money and antique expert guessed that could be very interesting rolls. Connected to Jewish and American academics. Thus began his study and deciphering.

is said that when the Romans attacked Jerusalem in 68 (in 70 Titus razed the city and the Jewish temple, which was his pride), the Essenes hid their scriptures in caves 40 km East Jerusalem.

The Essenes sought leave the existing order of things and entering a community that considered itself as completely different from any other, whether Jewish or pagan. They considered themselves the true sons of the covenant between God and Israel.

After the Maccabean revolt (166-159 BC), under the command of a new leader, the Teacher of Righteousness, they retreated into the wilderness to "prepare the way of the Lord." The revolt was at the time of the Greek domination, when the temple was desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanes, spilling blood on the altar of pork. The rebels, loyal to their faith, they fled into the desert.

When removed later Hasmonean Greek hegemony, there is the second revolt appropriated for the dignity of the High Priest. The Essene Teacher of Righteousness High Priest did not exercise because they understood that Yahweh had provided men Tzadok dynasty.

Those who made oath and entered the community have called for a lifetime of study of law was also imposed its observance by a strict code of discipline. Many had lived in celibacy as sinful marriage and everything material.

waiver of economic relationships or accepting gifts is not derived from an ideal of poverty, but is a way to avoid contamination with the outside world to safeguard the purity ritual. Consummated its break with the church and the official cult, the Essene community understood itself as a temple intangible temporarily replaces the temple of Jerusalem while it is still obtained a cult disdain.

The Qumran community also hoped the advent of a new era, as preached by John the Baptist and Jesus Nazareth. Also, like the latter, and were themselves chosen as the mass of the damned, in order to prepare for this new era. But unlike these, the new era of the Essenes resembled the old, restored and renovated. Interpreted the law that had been revealed to their founder, who referred in his writings as the Teacher of Righteousness, character who knows something more thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls. He lived between 150 and 100 BC. in a small community that subsisted by farming and lived in isolation from other communities, particularly the inhabitants of Qumran. Others, most of the Essenes, some 4,000 according to Josephus, if they lived in cities, in a particular way, expressing his doctrine.

Qumran is notable for the number of tanks containing water, essential for the physical needs of the community, but also played an important part of the ritual, which included numerous washes. In his writings say: " those who walk in the spirit of truth will cure a long life of peace and fertility blessing all life with eternal joy and life without end, a crown of glory and majesty mantle inextinguishable light. By Otherwise those who walk in the spirit of darkness is: a multitude of pests hands of all the angels of destruction, eternal damnation for the strength of the vengeful wrath of God, endless torment and misery in prison, together with shameful extinction in fire dark regions. "

For some, the Essenes did not engage in trade, were masons, carpenters, weavers and goldsmiths. So I fit that Jesus was one of them or live at least two years in that congregation. But as Jesus is the universal Redeemer, it is difficult found in the Gospels of his expressions that sound like the Essenes, but they can also play a Hindu or Buddhist, then your message can understand all men of all time. Instructed his disciples to go to the world, not a select few.

The Pharisees

In Jesus' time, says Professor Francisco Baró, most appreciated for most of the people were the Pharisees . His name in Hebrew Perushim , meaning "the segregated." Devoted most attention to issues relating to the observance of ritual purity laws even outside the temple. Priestly purity standards established for worship, passed for them to score an ideal of life in all activities of daily life, which was thus ritualized and sacred. Along with the written law (Torah or Pentateuch) were compiling a series of traditions and ways of meeting the requirements of the Act, which was granted an increasing appreciation until they came to be welcomed as oral Torah, attributed also to God. According to their belief, the oral Torah was given along with the written Torah to Moses Sinai, and thus both had identical binding.

For the Pharisees the political dimension played a crucial role in its vital position, and was linked to efforts for national independence, as no foreign power could be imposed on the sovereignty of Lord in his people. To these are known by the name of Zealots , possibly gave themselves, referring to his zeal for God and the fulfillment of the Law Although believed that salvation is granted by God, were convinced that the Lord with the collaboration to bring that human salvation. This collaboration was moved first to a purely religious in your zeal for strict compliance with the law later from the fifties, was also considered to manifest in the military field, so that no could refuse the use of violence when it was necessary to win, and had to be afraid of losing their lives in combat, it was as a martyr to sanctify the name of the Lord.

Sadducees

The Sadducees, for their part, were people of high society, members of priestly families, educated, rich and aristocrats. Of them had started from the beginning of the Roman occupation the chief priests , at that time were Jewish representatives to the imperial power. They made a sober interpretation of the Torah, without falling into the many issues casuistry of the Pharisees, and therefore underestimate what those considered oral Torah.

Unlike the Pharisees did not believe in the survival after death, nor shared their eschatological hopes. Not enjoy the popularity or popular affection enjoyed by the Pharisees, but they had religious and political power, so they were very influential. Also differed from the Pharisees at the time of the feast of Passover, so the synoptic gospels and John's the day of the Last Supper in the Upper Room to celebrate the Passover and instituted the Eucharist and not exactly lend itself to varying interpretations.

Other sects

When Jews settled in Canaan monotheism was weakened by the influence of idolatry that reigned there. But the situation was more precarious the Jewish religion when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were destroyed, then the people did not understand the language of the law was written and it was necessary to make long talks translations and explanations. For this reason, and changing habits, it was necessary to create a second or repeat Act or Mishnah, commonly called the Talmud. Then came the first division of the Jews, some who are even now called of Karaites continued to obey the Torah to the letter.

between I and IV were also Ebionites, a sect of Judeo-Christian ebjonim , "Lord's poor", who believed that Jesus had established his heirs. On the death of Santiago, separated from the Church, led by Tébuli and made war on Paul. Community life lived in strict poverty, were vegetarian and spread through Rome, Egypt and Asia Minor. Will they have something to do with Muhammad and Islam? Judaizing Christians were extremists who wanted to impose the law of Moses for everyone. To them, Jesus only a prophet and the Messiah because God anointed him to be a true saddiq , "fair." Were convicted in the first Council of Jerusalem.

In the eighteenth century came Moses Mendelsohn (+1786 to 57 years), who preached new ideas that shocked the Jews of Europe. And there arose a new division. Orthodox rabbis considered heretics to these reformers and settled in separate communities. Renovators opened its first synagogue in 1810 and abolished the Hebrew prayers and sermons to replace the language of the country. Is an important branch of Judaism that denies the existence of a personal Messiah replacing it with a collective "messianic mission" of Israel. Of worship and liturgy, which had imposed the Talmud, only retain the conclusion of the Sabbath and circumcision. That is, try to emphasize the monotheistic idea by playing the fulfillment of the Talmud.

there are Orthodox rabbis in Israel, Karaites and renewal to meet separately with their followers in 6,000 synagogues. In addition there remains a Jewish community called Samaritan in the city of Holon, near Tel Aviv with about 500 faithful. It is an ancient sect that recognizes only the Torah and the Pentateuch (Joshua) as Holy Writ, and worthy of obedience.

extravagant Christianity sects of Christianity

there sects in mankind since the world began and in all civilizations and for having so strange not also appear in the Christian world . We are all from the same cloth: the clay of the earth. Some have the itch to be secret but now also "cool" advertising and campaigning. Human beings are not just a rational animal but a spiritual or religious animal because the religious fact is undeniable, even atheists. The man needs to believe (even if at all), you need to share something transcendental. As there is usually a clear distinction between religious and political spheres, but instead, are mixed inseparably, the sects have always a religious aspect but to engage in activities that are not precisely say.

in every sect, understood in the pejorative sense, there is always leader who is sick, is a fan, often call themselves a guru, teacher, pastor, reverend, prophet etc. and of course intends to exercise divine power. The leader is one who knows everything and provides all, nobody can doubt his claims, nor of his writings or his orders to become more irrational is accepted without question.

not lack in any fan intolerance can not conceive it to be contradicted. Not support the other's arguments because you are obligated to question their beliefs and open cracks in the monolith. Therefore prefer to proselytize and convince him to others.

In the modern age of Christian Europe in hybrid political issues, ideological or religious, with the Enlightenment, deism and rationalism, sprouted branches of Freemasonry and the various movements pseudomísticos theosophical and occult ideology, as Theosophical Society, which flourished in the late nineteenth century also relates to Freemasonry.

This Society was founded by Helena Petrovna Blavataski, Henry Olcott, William Judge and others in New York on November 17, 1875 search for divine wisdom, occult or spiritual wisdom .

not easy to find the exact time of birth of all these movements or esoteric Masons because genetically, going back, you can always find some germs. In a not too distant back ou p assumed (do not know if it would be easy to prove) that Christians have been lead to resentment from heretical sects condemned by the Inquisition or abolished by a pope at the request of a Christian king. Also Christianity was born directly between the Jewish people that already gave sects or sectarian groups is not surprising that some, through ignorance or for reasons they know, they have seemed "appropriate" organized as follows: self-love always , vanity and all those things look the same course solution, both in civil religious. The Jewish people did not live in a bubble and its contact with the Egyptians 400 years and more than half a century after the Persians would leave "some" footprint.

Among the extravagant contemporary esoteric sects or be considered ultraconservative schismatic "Old Catholic " who did not accept the Vatican Council (1864) or the like lefebrerianos who condemned the Vatican II (1964), on especially following the council document on religious freedom, but also refused to recognize the ecumenism, collegiality and the liturgical reform that seemed protestantizante. Of However it is sad that for so many centuries officially not recall such truths-freedom, collegiality, etc .-, from St. Paul, and that sounded a revolutionary such claims.

Ni "by the wounds of Christ", as he told John Paul II to Archbishop Marcel Lefrebe (+1991 to 86 years) in the near agony, got off the donkey, and today is at least willingness to restore unity in diversity. It was the tip of the iceberg of the traditionalists and set out to establish the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. To ensure his succession, in his eighties, he spent 4 bishops. Have recently had talks with Vatican but his top general, Bernard Fellay, has said it is a dialogue of the deaf.

bizarre sect are palmartroyanos and some others are just sad stories but inevitable in the course of history. Los del Palmar of Troy were led by Clemente Dominguez proclaimed himself Pope Gregory XVII. The sect was forged in this town near Seville, where, since March 1968 the Virgin appeared to four girls and there Clemente and teammate Manuel Alonso Corral, homosexual couples, set up their show. Both had been expelled from his job as the administrative work of St John of God. In 72 received the donation of 16 million pesetas donated by an old baroness and thus bought the farm of the Caper, which had given the alleged apparitions.

In 1974 he toured Europe and America and found a Vietnamese bishop, deeply angry with the Vatican II, which persuaded to order five priests. Thus was founded the Order of Carmelites of the Holy Face. In 76 palmartroyanos bishops suffered a traffic accident that Clemente was only wounded, losing both eyes that were enucleated. Upon the death of Paul VI, Clement said that the same God the Father had appointed him as Pope name Gregory XVII. Appointed 24 cardinals, established in perpetuity the Tridentine rite Mass, raised to the altars thousands of people like Francisco Franco, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Carrero Blanco, Calvo Sotelo ... and say Hitler.

Among his extravagances could not miss distorted conception of millenarianism as claim to be the last and only order to be prepared for the Church and humanity to the end of the world's second coming Christ (parousia). Nor could miss the hint of sexuality or sensuality as being sick and prohibit sexual pleasure.

In Africa there is an exceptional growth of religious communities that some claim to be Christian Churches calls (3.5% per year), but others openly treated as satanic movements. In Nairobi there is a " African Association for the Study of Religion" trying to study the issue. The group of so-called "mainstream Churches " import meets colonial churches, without regard to its doctrinal and disciplinary differences. Brought from the West soon emerged a second group, the independent African churches or indigenous founded by Africans disenchanted with the contrast between what the missionaries preached and practiced by their fellow laymen. Most of these foundations do not extend beyond ethnic boundaries, and its members are of the same tribe.

In the decade of 1840, the German Protestant missionary Ludwig Krapf began translating the Bible into Swahili . In 1914, there were translations of the most common native languages. Africans did not take long to realize the division of Christians as there were missionaries who, instead of collaborating, they waged war to each other. So we concluded that if they did, Africans why not. Except for some intellectuals, in general the truth is not very critical for these people, who prefer the colorful and loud. Some of these churches liturgical services are up to 16 hours, sometimes lasting all night. When you can buy powerful speakers for all to hear services in a radius of 2 miles.

schismatic groups saw their independent church as a safe haven for the community where they feel at home. The colonial government banned them until 1958, when they were given license to operate, provided they are not meddling in political affairs.

The African continent is becoming fertile ground for preachers who promise a better life. In the second half of the twentieth century has been a boom in evangelical churches and healing whose health and wealth preachers promise a reward for devotion. It is the "theology of prosperity" which tries to attract the poor and displaced. According to Stephen Jubwe, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Monrovia, "what people are looking for is a miracle. And we want them here, not the other life. " For its part Hubert Van Beek, World Council of Churches said "Neither the independent churches and the mainstream Churches are being able to face major economic and social problems" .

The great social upheavals they sprout the search for God, as occurred after the Biafran War between 1967 and 1970, or Liberia, where civil war (1970-1977) left more than 200,000 dead, 1 million displaced and the country in ruins.

World Council of Churches welcomes with misgivings about the modus operandi of these types of communities and few independent churches are in this institution. Silvia Opoku, 25, a student of philosophy at Ghana, went to an independent church, but ended up disappointed. As stated in Time , "faith promise you now. I promise that your business will be prosperous now. Everything is instant. But God does not work that way. There is a coffee machine. "

Dead founder sprayed; about the "Community Free Bible ", believes that every day of the creation of those narrated in Genesis is 7,000 years and so do they balance their millenarian calculations for immediate parousia. only accept the spiritual baptism of faith, not the water. They have no central organization and support the dinner, but only as a reminder to drink the cup which means accepting the sufferings of this present life.

also appeared Dawn Bible Student Association, even less organized than the "Community Bible free." In 1917 another group broke away to form the Laymen's Home Missionary Movement (Movimiento national lay missionary), more addicted to Russell that "Jehovah's Witnesses."

Rutherford As organized, are a "theocracy" is, in theory, a company managed directly by God, and, in practice, a centralized organization in which the election has been replaced by the appointment to all levels of a rigidly structured hierarchy and authoritarian.
