English Simply Christian Monotarian Fellowship

[Lori Jane]

For 2022 we are going to have a new fellowship style meeting called:

Simply Christian Monotarian Fellowship​

We are going to have it weekly on Saturdays from 5 PM - 7:00 PM EST (New York Time) [see other time zones] which will be Sunday morning in Australia. Please check the calendar items for your time zone Upcoming events | Simply Christian

I will be facilitating the meeting most days but this is a team effort. Volunteers are needed for the following:

• submit songs (a youtube link is fine),
• prepare a 20 minute or less presentation or selected reading,
• take a turn at facilitating,
• take prayer request notes (in chat),
• offer opening or closing prayer, etc.
  
  Please email lorijaneusa@gmail.com ahead of the meeting if you are able to help out.

The general meeting flow will be as follows:

5:00 PM*	Round Robin	go around the room and each person share prayer requests, praise reports or general update (< 2 min. per person)
5:45 PM	Song #1 Prayer (incorporating prayer requests)
6:00 PM	Presentation	Topics to be on uplifting and encouraging topics that give praise to our Heavenly Creator and our Messiah Christ
6:20 PM	Song #2
6:30 PM	Open Discussion:	Q&A about the presentation, share additional points or scriptures related to the presentation, talk about things brought up in Round Robin
6:50 PM*	Song #3 Closing Prayer

* You can join earlier and/or stay after for additional fellowship - this may be without a facilitator.

• Songs and presentations should not conflict with Simply Christian Monotarian Statement of Beliefs.
  • All are welcome but content and discussion should not conflict with these statements of belief.
  • Of course, genuine questions are encouraged, debate is not.
• We will be using the screen share function of Zoom.
  • If you don't have two monitors to view gallery view of faces and screen share separately you may want to consider logging in on two devices to accomplish that.
• The meetings will not be recorded.
• You do not need to show your face or speak if you don't want to or aren't able to but we love to see everyone's face if possible.
• This is the initially suggested format but we can make changes by group consensus as time goes by.
• reminders will be sent via this email list. Please encourage your friends to get on the mailing list so they get these reminders too!

18:33:59 From josH to Everyone:

18:34:13 From josH to Everyone:
"Was the last supper a Passover seder?"
18:41:19 From josH to Everyone:
Many commentators pretentiously claim that Jesus was dead wrong. To uphold their “Good Friday—Easter Sunday” tradition, religious authorities must wrest the Scriptures to make them seem to say something they do not say. They claim that since the New Testament was written in Greek, the three days and three nights was merely a “Greek idiom” —that the three days and three nights can count any periods of a day as a full day. Many seize upon this phrase, “a Greek idiom,” thinking, “Ah-ha!” —they have found a satisfactory explanation, and dismiss it without further thought—without even knowing what an idiom is! The dictionary says an idiom is an expression whose meaning cannot be inferred by the meaning of the words that make it up. Some English idiomatic expressions are, “he kicked the bucket,” “she hung her head,” “it’s as easy as pie,” or, “he’s true blue.” Thus, they claim, Jesus’ prophecy failed, and He was in the heart of the earth only half as long as He thought He would be.
18:46:35 From josH to Everyone:
that's a quote from garys doc.
18:49:58 From josH to Everyone:
The brilliant Historian and Theologian NT Wright wrote a 400 page book JUST about "why" Jesus chose Passover as the Hebrew event that best represented HOW his revolution was to commence. see "The Day the Revolution Began"....its far more simple AND complex than we can individually fathom.
18:51:24 From josH to Everyone:
"we NO longer know him according the Flesh"...
18:52:37 From Laureen to Everyone:
