BIB 3073 Die Apostelgeschichte
Teil 1: Authentizität der Apostelgeschichte
1 Beschreiben Sie mit eigenen Worten die Bedeutung der Apostelgeschichte für den Kanon der Bibel. Schlagen Sie in den ersten zwei Lektionen des Studienführers nach und nennen Sie Informationen über die Apostelgeschichte als a) früheste Geschichte der frühen Gemeinde, b) Brücke zwischen den Evangelien und den Briefen, c) Einführung und Hintergrund für die Briefe und d) als starke Betonung der Taufe im Heiligen Geist (etwa 350 Wörter).
a) Nach Geburt, Passion und Auferstehung Jesu Christi, seiner Himmelfahrt und der Ausgießung des Heiligen Geistes an Pfingsten war eine Generation von Augenzeugen ins Land gegangen. Bis zur vorausgesagten Zerstörung des Tempels wurde es Zeit, der nächsten ausgesandten Evangelisten- und Missionars-Kohorte schriftliche Berichte der großen Taten der Apostel zu vermitteln und zu überliefern. Es handelt sich bei der Apostelgeschichte um früheste narrative Berichte der frühen Gemeinde.
b) Als Brückenglied zwischen den Evangelien der Jünger Jesu (nach Matthäus, Markus, Lukas und Johannes) stellt die Apostelgeschichte von Lukas die Verbindung zwischen der Lebzeit des Messias und der Erzählung der Ausbreitung der christlichen Gemeinde in den frühen Anfängen dar. Lukas als Augenzeuge des Evangeliums und Reisebegleiter des Heidenapostels Paulus leitet gemäß des Missionsbefehls Jesu (Matthäus 28, 18-20) diese neue Ära der Kirche ein ( Bekehrung des Paulus APG 9) und weist auf die Briefe (des Paulus, des Jakobus, Petrus, Johannes) hin.
c) Während der Evangelist Markus sich von Paulus trennte und eigene Gemeinden gründete, gibt Lukas in der Apostelgeschichte sehr persönliche und professionelle Einzelberichte über die Gemeinden in den Städten wieder, auf die in den Briefen Bezug genommen wird. Besonders die Schiffs- und Landreisen sind von dem ausgebildeten Arzt Lukas detaillegetreu überliefert. Mich als passioniertem Surfer begeistern vor allem die Beschreibungen, wie vor Malta die Treibanker (die in jüngster Vergangenheit wieder entdeckt und gehoben wurden) und Schiffsgerät abgeworfen wurde, damit der Bug auf eine Sandbank auflaufen konnte. Als Hintergrundinformationen für die Briefe an die Gemeinden vor Ort, die in der APG beschrieben sind, sowie als geographische Einführung sind diese Informationen unverzichtbar im biblischen Kanon.
d) Die starke Betonung der Taufe im Heiligen Geist, die sich bis heute in der sich ausbreitenden charismatischen Bewegung widerspiegelt zeigt, dass die Aussage Jesu aus Markus 16,17 ff sich erfüllt: „..denn ich werde bei Euch sein mit nachfolgenden Zeichen..“ Die Taufe im Geist des Messias, wie in Joel dem Volk Israel bereits angekündigt, gibt Kraft und Mut für den Verkündigungsdienst des Neuen Bundes. Die Sprachen- oder Zungenrede sowie der Engelsgesang als Zeichen der offensichtlichen geistlichen Gaben manifestiert sich in der Apostelgeschichte sehr deutlich an verschiedenen Stellen, im Obergemach (APG 2, 3-4) am Fest der Erstlingsfrüchte 50 Tage nach Pessach (Pentecost), (APG 2,6). (364 Wörter).
2 Lektion 1 unterstreicht hermeneutische und theologische Schwerpunkte in der Apostelgeschichte. Erörtern Sie a) die Kontinuität im Handeln des Heiligen Geistes, b) die heilsgeschichtliche Perspektive und c) die primäre Rolle des Heiligen Geistes. Nennen Sie zu jedem Schwerpunkt ein oder mehrere Beispiele aus der Apostelgeschichte (etwa 350 Wörter).
a) Der Heilige Geist als dritte Person Gottes ist ja auch derselbe gestern heute und auch morgen. Seine Charktermerkmale (siehe auch Pneumatologie) wie Allwissenheit, Allgegenwart, Allmacht und Ewigkeit trägt er als freundlicher Rechtsanwalt des Lichts in die Gemeinde hinein. Damit erfüllt er in der chronologischen und geographischen Folge den Heilsplan Gottes, des Vaters und seines von IHM gesandten Sohnes JESUS CHRISTUS ( JESHUAH HA MASCHIACH). Im Kontext der Apostelgeschichte wird damit erst die Gemeinde aus Juden-Christen und Heiden-Christen eigentlich gegründet, wie sie sich im Handeln in der Kirchengeschichte bis heute darstellt. Die Gabe der Zungen-Sprachen (APG 2) hebt damit den babylonischen Fluch auf, den Gott einer übermächtig und stolz werdenden Menschheit auferlegt hatte. Die Kontinuität im Handeln des Heiligen Geistes ist auch ersichtlich aus den ersten beiden Versen der APG, in der Lukas an Theophilus bestätigt, was Jesus tat und was in der direkten Folge dann der Heilige Geist den Aposteln an Weisung gab. Damit ist das Thema der Kontinuität des Handelns des H.G. vorgegeben.
b) Die Heilsgeschichtliche Perspektive als Erfüllung der Vorankündigung JESHUAHs: „Ich werde Euch den Heiligen Geist senden, der wird Euch in alle Wahrheit und Erkenntnis führen, ..und von Gericht,.. und dass der Fürst dieser Welt gerichtet ist..“ läutet auch den Beginn der Herrschaft des Königreiches Gottes auf Erden ein, das Jesus proklamiert hatte in der Bergpredigt. Bis zur Wiederkunft des Messias auf dem Ölberg (wie von den Engeln verkündet, APG 1,10-12) gilt damit sozusagen die Zeit der Gemeinde als Gnadenzeit des Geistes Christi entsprechend der Ära des 6. von 7 Schöpfungstagen (gemäß des jüdischen Kalenders das aktuell beginnende Jahr 5770). Die Perspektive für Gegenwart und Zukunft ergibt sich aus der Tatsache, dass die Heilsgeschichte GOTTES mit der Menschheit offensichtlich noch nicht zu Ende ist, sondern sich in der ausbreitenden Gemeinde bis in die Offenbarung hinein zeigt.
c) Die primäre Rolle des Heiligen Geistes ergibt sich schon aus dem biblischen Kontext, dass GOTT in seiner patriarchalischen Person als Gott Abrahams, Isaaks und Jakobs mit seinem ursprünglichen Bundesvolk wandelte, sich mit Jesus als Mensch im Fleisch inkarnierte und hermeneutisch wie theologisch in der Apostelgeschichte beschrieben, durch den Heiligen Geist seinem Neuen Bundesvolk, der universellen Gemeinde offenbarte. Die Heiligung, Bevollmächtigung und Vertiefung der intimen Beziehung Christi mit den Gläubigen legt bis heute den Schwerpunkt der Mission auf die durch Zeichen und Wunder (wie in APG 5,5 ; 5,16; 7,55) begleiteten Ausbreitung der ganzheitlichen Botschaft der Bibel. Der Heilige Geist spielt damit auch heute die primäre Rolle in der Heilsgeschichte. (406 Wörter)
3 Erörtern Sie, wie Theologie aus der narrativen Form des biblischen Materials hervorgeht, so wie es in Lektion 1 beschrieben ist und im Verlauf der Apostelgeschichte demonstriert wurde. Betonen Sie besonders die Methoden der Ableitung theologischer und praktischer Schlussfolgerungen, indem Sie ein oder mehrere Beispiele zitieren (etwa 350 Wörter).
Zunächst einmal stellt sich uns im biblischen Kanon die Apostelgeschichte eben als erzählter Bericht der Taten der Apostel dar. Aus dieser narrativen Form, wie er in den Reiseberichten zu Wasser und zu Lande (und im Falle von Philippus auch in der Luft, APG8,39) überliefert ist, ergibt sich für die pfingstliche Hermeneutik und die Theologie der katholischen Kirche die Bedeutung der Apostelgeschichte vor allem aus den detailliert beschriebenen Zeichen und Wundern, (Heilsgeschichte berichtet von Petrus in APG 10, 34-48 )die mit dem Wirken des Heiligen Geistes verbunden sind und zur friedlichen Auferbauung der Gemeinde Christi und ihrer Ausbreitung führte (APG 9, 31). Die Authentizität der Verfasserschaft Lukas´ sowie die tradierte Datierung (vor 64 nach Christus) ergänzt den historischen und literarischen Kontext.
Erzählerische Kontinuität im Heilsgeschichtlichen Handeln des Heiligen Geistes, die Weiterentwicklung der Begriffsinhalte „Im Geist“, die Unveränderlichkeit der Bewegung Gottes, sowie die primäre Rolle des Heiligen Geistes leiten untrennbar über zur Dienstbevollmächtigung inklusive der Bedeutung und dem Zeitpunkt der Taufe im Wasser und im Geist.
Die Tatsache, dass mit der Dienstausrüstung des H.G. auch die Begabung zum Reden gegeben ist (z.B. APG 5,27-33 Petrus und die anderen Apostel vor dem Hohen Rat), inpliziert nicht die Vermutung, der Bericht des Lukas wäre etwa Phantasie, Poesie oder bediene sich literarischer Quellen und Techniken wie bspw. der historische griechische Schmöker „der peleponnesische Krieg“, sondern der besondere Augenmerk liegt auf der auch vor Gericht als Zeugenaussage formal nicht anfechtbaren oder revidierfähigen gesellschaftlichen Relevanz der Apostelgeschichte.
Die Vertrautheit des APG-Autors Lukas mit dem jüdischen Kulturgut, den Schriften von Mose, den Propheten und den Weisungen, sein frei von Anachronismen mit lokalen Gläubigen dáccor gehenden Erzählung vermitteln eine kohärente Theologie. Die Praxis und Apologetik der Nachpfingstlichen Gemeindeausbreitung mit ihren Schlussfolgerungen für die heutige Kirche ist unauslöschlich im Kanon festgeschrieben.
Interne (Lukas 1,1 -3) Belege für die Tatsache, dass Lukas der Autor der APG ist, auch was die „wir“- Abschnitte der Reisen mit dem Missionar Paulus anbelangt stellen unabänderliche Schlüsselpunkte der Theologie und Hermeneutik dar, sowie der soteriologischen praktischen Schlussfolgerungen. Externe Belege , wie Tertullian aus dem 2. JH. nach Christus in seiner Streitschrift gegen Marcion (140 n. Chr.) entkräften bis heute die liberalen, kritischen Richtungen außerhalb der pfingstlichen und katholischen Dogmatik und Lehrbefugnis. (364 Wörter)
Teil 2: Verfasserschaft der Apostelgeschichte
4 Analysieren Sie die Rolle der kritischen Theologie in dieser Debatte und drei Positionen für die Datierung der Apostelgeschichte. Halten Sie Nunnallys Auffassung für völlig schlüssig? (etwa 350 Wörter).
Zunächst mal kann ich mich der schlüssigen Auffassung Nunnallys voll und ganz anschließen, dass Lukas der Verfasser ist und dass die Apostelgeschichte um etwa 49 nach Christi Geburt geschrieben wurde.
Nunnally beschreibt die Distinktiven Merkmale, Absichten und Theologischen Themen.
Lukas als Verfasser des Lukasevangeliums und der APG gehört dazu, sowie seine Absicht, die APG als 2.Buch zum Evangelium zu schreiben.
Anders als kritische Religionswissenschaftler, vertritt er die kanonische Doktrin der frühen Kirchenväter, die sich bis heute in der Lehre des Vatikans erhalten haben.
Die Rolle der kritischen Theologen, die versuchen, diese Doktrin zu widerlegen– wie bereits die als Häretiker gebrandmarkten Marcioniten- besteht darin, die Hölle und das Gericht zu verwerfen und sich eine sektenhafte Irrlehre zusammenzuphantasieren.
Hier geht es ja auch darum Einsichten in diese falsche Theologie aus eigener Erfahrung zu bezeugen, deshalb mag folgende Ausführung mehr bewirken als ein rein apologetischer Diskurs.
Exkurs (zur Rolle der kritischen Theologie und ihr Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft)
Mit der TOS (Tübinger Offensive Stadtmission, Jobst Bittner) ist es gelungen, der ebenfalls als Hochburg der liberalen, kritischen Theologie geltenden Richtung von Küng den Rang abzulaufen, was Ritus, steuerrechtlicher und ethischer Status anbelangt.
Einer meiner Pastoren und Lehrer in der Pfingstcharismatischen ELIM Gemeinde in BONN
war zusammen mit dem damaligen Herrn Ratzinger, jetzt Papst, in der Tübinger Theologenschule.
Da Gerhard Uphoff auch Jugendpastor des sehr erfolgreichen Evangelisten Reinhard Bonnke gewesen ist, kann ich die Debatte und die drei Positionen um die Datierung der APG gut auch mit Ross und Reiter nachvollziehen.
Die angeblich „Hohe Textkritik“ deutscher Prägung, die „der Hölle das Feuer“ und dem Himmel die Menschen entziehen will, kann ich nicht teilen, auch und gerade weil erhebliche Gelder bspw. der Bosch-Stiftung in solche “Ein-Welt-Religion“ fließen.
Der Versuch der schleichenden bis „strategisch galoppierenden“ Entmündigung der vollmächtigen Diener Gottes in ihrem Amt als Fortschreiber der Apostelgeschichte ist unübersehbar in die Gesellschaft eingesickert durch Allianzen dieser Bibelkritik mit den vom ehemaligen amerikanischen Außenminister Donald Rumsfield einmal politisch unkorrekt aber sehr kenntnisreich entlarvten „Axis- of –Evil“ titulierten Thronen und Gewalten des Alten Europa.
Das hat manche Grundlagen der Kirche (auch der katholischen) zerstört- wie ich anlässlich eines Besuches an meinem 49. Geburtstag im benediktinischen Erzkloster St.Ottilien (Jahrestagung der AAD) und anschließender Einkehr im biologisch-dynamisch in Bier- und -Haxn-Gelage verkommenen Andechser Kloster am eigenen Leibe erfahren durfte.
Ohne jetzt weiter auf die Rolle der neoliberalen bis häretischen Text- ,Personen- und Rechtsbeugung billigend in Kauf nehmenden Kritik der deutschen, insbesondere der Bayerischen und Baden-württembergischen Schule einzugehen, darf ich ein Wort Gottes für die Gemeinde in Sardes hinzufügen, die auch für die kritische „Theologen“ und „Machthaber“ gilt:
„Ich kenne Deine Werke: Du hast den Namen, dass Du lebst, und bist tot. Werde wach und stärke das andere, das sterben will, denn ich habe deine Werke nicht als vollkommen angesehen vor meinem GOTT. So denke nun daran, wie Du empfangen und gehört hast und halte es fest und tue BUßE! ….Wenn Du aber nicht wachen wirst, werde ich kommen wie ein Dieb, und Du wirst nicht wissen, wann ich kommen werde. Aber Du hast einige hier (…) die Ihre Kleider nicht besudelt haben; die werden mit mir einhergehen in weißen Kleidern, denn sie sind es wert.
Meine demonstrierte konfrontative Überlegenheit über Theologie, Exekutive, Legislative, Juridisprudenz, Hippokratische Mediziner und Psychologen legen mein eigenes Zeugnis in die Waagschale für eine in Autorität verfasste und fortgeschriebene Apostelgeschichte.

5 Erklären Sie, welche inneren und äußeren Beweise und welche Belege aus den Paulusbriefen Lukas als den Verfasser bestätigen. Sind Sie von diesen Beweisen überzeugt? (etwa 350 Wörter).
Ja.
Die internen Bezüge der APG zeigen, dass Lukas selber Augenzeugenberichte wiedergab. Lukas erklärte, dass er selber in die Ereignisse involviert war. Ab APG 16,10 erzählt der Autor in der ersten Person Singular, später im Plural. Vor allem in den Reisen zu Wasser und zu Lande ist die Verwendung der Personalpronomen eineindeutig. Die Detailletreue und konsistent narrativer literarischer Stil deuten auf Lukas hin.
Externe Beweise:
Schlüssig ist neben den späteren Schriften der Kirchenväter, die nach Tertullian (2.Jh. n.Chr.;.
Die fünf Bücher gegen Marcion,IV2) das Lukasevangelium unversehrt und vollständig in den Kanon der orthodoxen Kirche übernommen haben auch die Schlussfolgerung, dass die gleichfalls vorliegende Apostelgeschichte des Lukas unzweifelhaft zu den vom Spiritus Gentilus anerkannten Text der Bibel gehörte.
In Fragmenten einer Handschrift in Griechisch und Latein aus dem späten 2. Jh. N.C., dem sog. Antimarcionischen Fragment geht hervor, dass Lukas eindeutig nach Beendigung der Evangelien die APG verfasste (R.G.Heard, 1955,S.7).
Im muratorischen Fragment (spätes 2.Jh. n.C.) wird ebenfalls belegt, dass Lukas die APG in nur einem Buch verfasste. (Bettenson,1967,S.28) .
Die frühen Kirchenväter, wie Origines, Irenäus, Clemens von Alexandria, Eusebius und der bereits zitierte Tertullian bezeugen ebenfalls den eindeutigen Sachverhalt.
Die Belege aus den Paulusbriefen (Kol. 4,10-15; Philemon 24~vergl. M. ~APG 21,17-27,1 , 28,16; 2.Tim. 4,10-11 ~ vergl.m. APG 1,8; 4,6-7; 4,11) benennen Lukas ganz genau.
Sowohl die Paulinische Terminologie als auch die Theologie finden sich durchweg in der APG.
Aufgrund der relevanten Beweislast wäre es, unabhängig vom eigenen Zeugendienst, für jeden Theologen, Richter, Schöffen, Staatsanwalt, Rechtsanwalt, Notar , medizinischen Gutachter und Gerichtsdiener unentschuldbar, sich nicht der Nunally´schen und vatikanisch-konzilianten kanonisch-orthodoxen Lehre anzuschließen, sondern, der Wahrheit zuwider an längst entlarvten Irrlehren festzuhalten.
De facto wird allerdings heute der offizielle Unglaube (Kritik der Bibel als Wort Gottes), als auch der offensichtliche Unverstand (durch Philosophien wie „Kritik der reinen Vernunft“) als Zeitgeist gelebt.
Wie bereits im Kurs Psychologie ausgeführt (und in meinem ebook: Rosenkranz-Templeroffenbarung zusammengefasst) ist die Saat des Zweifels ein Hauptanliegen Satans.
In Apologetik wurde gezeigt, wie mit Gewissheit und Gewiß-sein diese Zweifel besiegt werden und der Glaube und das mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit gefestigte Wissen demonstriert werden kann.
In evangelikalen Kreisen beschränkt man sich darauf, dem offensichtlich demonstrierten Unglauben: „GOTT ist (mit an Sicherheit grenzender W´keit tot“) auf einem Bus zu „Ehren“ des Darwin-Jahres“ – ein zaghaftes : „Und wenn es Ihn doch gibt?“ entgegenzusetzen und dann aus christlicher Nächstenliebe den Bus auf Hochglanz zu polieren und die Kampagne der Proklamation des Unglaubens zu begleiten und vorauszueilen.
Die eigene Überzeugung, die durch das Vatikanische Recht als auch durch die „Null-Welle“ der pfingstlichen Bewegung gestützt wird, widersetzt sich diesem Zeitgeist und ist sowohl Geistlich als auch Verstandesmäßig höher und weiter, tiefer und breiter, GOTT sei dank !

6 Erörtern Sie das distinktive Merkmal der Apostelgeschichte, das als detaillierte physische Beschreibung bezeichnet und in Lektion 1 erörtert wird. Schreiben Sie über solche Beschreibungen anhand von Belegen entweder über a) medizinische Zustände, oder b) Heilungen oder c) Schiffsreisen (etwa 350 Wörter).
Das was Jesus tat und lehrte (APG1,1 ff) und das der Arzt Lukas als Fortsetzung des Evangeliums überliefert hat, wird heute von seiner Gemeinde, dem Corpus Christi weitergeführt, indem sie durch den Heiligen Geist dafür Kraft empfängt. Das gilt sowohl für die medizinischen Zustände, Heilungswunder als auch z.B. Schiffsreisen.
a) Zu den medizinischen Zuständen: der Fakt, dass das Wort „Eher geht ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr, als ein Reicher ins Reich Gottes“, das für „Nadel“ verwendet wird, nicht aus der Schneidersprache (Nähnadel= rafidos) stammt, sondern dem Chirurgischen Fachjargon für OP-Nadel (belones) entspricht, zeigt, mit welcher physischen Präsenz der Autor die weitere Verbreitung der Guten Botschaft vorantreibt. Dies gilt für historische Tatsachen, als auch für aktuelle Ereignisse und geographische Bewegungen. Die Verwendung ärztlicher und leiblicher Beschreibung von Einzelheiten geht einher mit Unterscheidungen wie der Beurteilung des Pfingstereignisses (APG2, 5-13) entweder als vom Heiligen Geist bevollmächtigtes Zungenreden und Sprachwunder oder, von den Ungläubigen als auf zu starken Alkoholgenuss („sie sind voll süßen Weines“) . Die Überwindung der Depression der ersten Gemeinde (verbargen sich im Obergemach, APG1,4+13-14;2,1) durch die Erfüllung mit Heiligem Geist (durch Zungen, zerteilt, wie von Feuer (APG 2,2-4) durch Verwandlung in Freimut (APG 4,31) beschreibt ebenfalls medizinische Zustände.
b) Aus der großen Anzahl von in der APG beschriebenen Heilungswundern (APG 3,2-9; 5,12-16; 9,32-35) zeigt sich das distinktive Merkmal des Arztes Lukas, mit der Absicht, die Kontinuität des traditionellen Judentums (Jesus und die ersten Apostel waren Juden) zu der sich geographisch ausbreitenden Jesusbewegung anhand von die Apostel begleitenden Heilungen zu beschreiben und als Universalismus theologisch zu fassen.
c) Detaillierte Beschreibungen finden wir besonders bei den Schiffsreisen. Die Wortwahl bereits für das griechische Wort Baptismo entstammt der maritimen Militärsprache und bedeutet genau: „ein Kriegsschiff versenken“. Die dem laienhaften Leser möglicherweise entgehende Fülle an Kunstgriffen, die der Kapitän der Schiffe, die dem Transport des gefangenen Paulus dienten, anwandte, um drohendes Unglück abzuwenden oder zu mildern, wird mit minutiöser Tiefenschärfe spannend nacherzählt. Wie ein Drehbuchautor lässt Lukas detaillierte physische Beschreibungen , wie die Heilung von maltesischer Rinder- und Schweinepest( Carsten Peter Tiede, PAULUS, 2004, S. 112; APG 28,7-10) flüssig in den Verlauf der Handlung der Taten der Apostel eintauchen. Daß Beweisstücke erst jetzt wieder auftauchen, wie eine Inschrift aus dem Haus des Vaters des Verwalters der Insel Malta, indem sich die von dem Schiffbruch geretteten über 2oo Personen versorgen und ehren ließen ( Carsten Peter Tiede, dito; APG 28,7-10), zeigt die Authentizität und Aktualität dieser distinktiven Merkmale. Die bereits in Punkt 1,1,c erwähnten Fundstücke der vier Treibanker mögen als Belege für die in der Jetztzeit erfüllte Absicht des Autors Lukas dienen, akkurate Puzzlestücke wertgebend einzustreuen.

Teil 3: Pfingstliche Grundlagen in der Apostelgeschichte
7 Analysieren Sie die starke Betonung der Taufe im Heiligen Geist anhand von vier der folgenden Bibelabschnitte aus der Apostelgeschichte (etwa 350 Wörter) : 1,4-8; 2,1-47; 3,1-4;4 ; 8, 4-40; 10,1-48; 11,19-30; 19,1-7; 28,30-31
Zunächst einmal sollen die einzelnen Taten der Apostel gegliedert werden, die Funktion der Geistestaufe herausgestellt und in ihrer Ganzheit erläutert werden.
APG 28,30-31 spricht davon, dass Gottes Absicht, Paulus nach Rom zu führen, erfolgreich war und er zwei volle Jahre das Reich Gottes verkündete und von Jesus Christus mit Freimut lehrte. In anderen Zentren des damaligen Weltreiches, wie Ephesus taufte der Apostel der Heiden noch selber, legte Hände auf ,so dass der Heilige Geist auf sie kam und sie in Zungen weissagten (APG 19,5).
In Caesarea fiel der Heilige Geist auf alle Zuhörer des die Heilsgeschichte predigenden Petrus. Danach ließ er sie auch im Wasser taufen.
Dergleichen geschah in Jerusalem, nachdem in Samarien die Geistestaufe (APG 10,1-48; 8,14-17) durch Handauflegung der Apostel übertragen wurde.
In APG 2,38 wird der Schlüssel der Bedeutung der Geistestaufe von Petrus so zusammengefasst: „Tut Buße, und ein jeder von euch lasse sich taufen auf den Namen Jesus Christus zur Vergebung euerer Sünden, so werdet ihr empfangen die Gabe des Heiligen Geistes.“
Die Rolle der Taufe im Heiligen Geist, sowie die sie begleitenden sicht- und hörbaren Phänomene (wie Zungenrede, Prophetie) in diesem Heilsgeschehen wird daran deutlich, dass sowohl Ausgangspunkt des exponentiellen Wachstums der neuen Jesusbewegung, nämlich Jerusalem als auch vorläufiges beschriebenes Zwischenziel ROM (APG 28,30-31) auf dem Weg „bis an die Enden der Erde“ (gemäß APG 1,8) stattfand.
Im kirchengeschichtlichen Zusammenhang ist der Missionsauftrag Jesus (aus Math. 28,18-20) also nach dem Vorbild der Taten der Apostel weiterzuführen, indem die Taufe im Heiligen Geist die Mission bestätigt und ermöglicht.
Die Inklusivität dieser „zweiten Erfahrung“ als auch ihre Universalität sind damit biblisch.
Anders als Wave Nunnally möchte ich jedoch dem Einspruch, die Konzentration auf die Formel: Vergebung der Sünden durch Tod, Grablegung, und Auferstehung Jesu Christi sei allein für exponentielles Wachstum verantwortlich, (Studienordner S.33, Punkt 8) nicht stattgeben. Aus meiner Erfahrung ist es nicht allein die Rückbesinnung auf die erste Generation von Pfingst-Christen nach der Form von Lukas, die die heutige moderne Gemeinde übernatürlich wachsen lässt. Sonst wäre wieder einmal mit Salomon : „Es gibt nichts Neues unter der Sonne!“ und der formelhaften Rezitation : „GOTT ist derselbe heute, morgen und gestern!“ jede Welle der Wirksamkeit des Heiligen Geistes in der Geistestaufe lehrmäßig als gegen NULL strebend apostrophiert und in der Unendlichkeit mit absoluter Wahrscheinlichkeit mit der jeweils annullierten Erweckungswelle gleich Null tangierend, um es mal mathematisch auszudrücken. Das Gegenteil ist jedoch nachweislich der Fall, und offenbart einen emergent höheren Stand des harmonischen Wachstums des Reiches Gottes auf Erden das ist sehr gut so! (415 Wörter)
8 Differenzieren Sie zwischen Zeitpunkt und Bedeutung der Taufe im Heiligen Geist und Zeitpunkt und Bedeutung der Wassertaufe, indem Sie auf entsprechendes Material aus den Lektionen 3,8,9 und 14 Bezug nehmen (etwa 350 Wörter).
Bevor ich aus dem gerade beschrieben Grunde die Bezugnahme auf die Lektionen für die Differenzierung zwischen Zeitpunkt und Bedeutung der Taufe im Heiligen Geist und Bedeutung und Zeitpunkt der Wassertaufe eingehe, darf ich auch kurz (hoffentlich ebenfalls, wie das in früheren Kursevaluationen durchaus credit-point optimierend möglich war (siehe Pneumatologie)) mein persönliches Zeugnis einbringen:
Mein Vater sprach in Zungen. Er war kurze Zeit in einem katholischen Kloster, heiratete dann meine Mutter, die in der ev. Landeskirche gedient hatte.
Ich wurde , an Pfingstsonntag geboren, kurz darauf von einem Familienmitglied einer evangelische Gemeinde vorgestellt und symbolisch als Kind getauft mit drei Spritzern Wasser.
Mein Patenonkel, der mit meinem Vater als Klosterbruder bei den Alexandrinern war, wechselte in die Nähe meines Geburtsortes und übernahm die katholische Josefskirche, wo er zeitlebens minderbemittelte Jungen betreute, die auch oft bei uns im Hause zu Gast waren.
Bereits in meinem ersten Lebensjahr stellte sich mein kindliches lautstarkes Gebrabbel (in Anwesenheit des Heiligen Geistes und einer Schar von engelhaften Zeugen, die in der Gegenwart Gottes stehen) als prophetisch heraus.
Weil meine Eltern bei einem Besuch des Segelflugplatzes durch mein lautstarkes Sprachenreden veranlasst wurden, mit ihrer Absicht, mich nahe am Zaun in einen Kinderwagen zu setzen, um etwa 1 Minute zurückgehalten wurden.
Das rettete mir das Leben, denn ein schwerer eiserner Schlepphaken- damals noch ohne Fallschirm - zerschmetterte meinen Kinderwagen.
Meine Eltern nahmen sich das damals zu Herzen.
Ich heilte durch Handauflegen meinen Bruder (als er aus einem Einsatz aus Ghana zurückkam und mit Malaria und 41 Fieber im Krankenhaus lag, in dem meine Mutter arbeitete.
Ich heilte meinen Vater, als er mit Verdacht auf Krebs im Krankenhaus lag und nach einer Therapie mit Eigenbut (mit Schweinefrischzellen) auf etwa 55 kg abgemagert war, durch Handauflegen. Er kam in ein anderes KH (Maria Hilf) und es wurden keine schlechten Werte mehr in seinem Blut festgestellt. Ich riet ihm, der angesetzten OP an den Nieren fernzubleiben. Er ließ sich dennoch auf den chirurgischen Eingriff ein, was ihm –obwohl die Ärzte sagten, es wäre eigentlich keine OP nötig gewesen- bis heute Schwierigkeiten macht.
Ich heilte meine Mutter, als sie im KH lag wegen „okkulten Blutes“ im Darm. Nach der OP, bei der nichts entdeckt wurde, hing sie „am Tropf“. Anstatt, dass die Nährlösung in ihre Venen lief, zog ihr Blut entgegen der Schwerkraft und entgegen der Kapillarkraft aus ihren Adern heraus in die 1 m höher hängende Flasche. Ich stieg auf einen Stuhl, betete laut in Zungen. Meine Mutter rief: „Bist Du verrückt! Komm da sofort runter“! – Mein Vater sagte: „Lass IHN!“- Meine Mutter gehorchte, ich betete in Zungen und im Namen Jesu gebot ich Heilung. Das Blut lief sofort in die richtige Richtung und meine Mutter, die fast dehydriert war, bekam neue Nahrung. Sie erholte sich schnell, nahm zu und wurde ohne weitere Behandlung geheilt entlassen.
Dies sind nur einige Heilungswunder, die ich sowohl vor als auch nach der Geistes- und Wassertaufe als Erwachsener erlebte und zur Ehre Gottes auch lehrend zum Erkenntnisgewinn weitergebe.
Im Verlauf meines geistlichen Werdeganges ertrug ich auch Religionslehrer, die die Kritik Feuerbachs, Marxen´s, Darwins bis Hegels einpaukten und meine Übereinstimmung mit dem Verbot von religiösen Symbolen in der kirchlichen Liturgie als ausgezeichnetes Ergebnis meiner Abiturarbeit erwarteten. Da der Religionslehrer Dr. Peter Rumpel als Doktor der Theologie gleichzeitig an einem Staatstheater spielte, lehrte und Schüleraufführungen dirigierte, war ich von seinen nachzumachenden Darbietungen in künstlerischer Sprachtechnik, die wohl als Zungenrede hätte durchgehen können (da er das Meinungsmonopol auf die Beurteilung, was geistlich ist, hatte), für weniger Eingeweihte jedoch auch als das Brüllen eines Pfingstochsens kurz vor der Schlachtung bezeichnet hätte werden können. Eine meiner besten Freundinnen, die zusammen mit Peter Rumpel die Hauptrolle in Antigone spielte, hielt diese paradoxe ungeistliche und unvernünftige Selbstdarstellung der kritischen Theologie seelisch nicht aus und wurde in eine psychiatrische Anstalt eingewiesen.
Ich forderte meine Abiturarbeit damals an (mitsamt der Beurteilung), bekam sie jedoch nie zu Gesicht. Kurz vor Ablauf der einfach mit einem neuen Ministerialerlass eingeführten Sperrfrist von 10 Jahren brannte aus noch ungeklärter Ursache die Bibliothek ab.
Ich lernte an der Uni Bonn zahlreiche begabte Christen kennen und schätzen. Zusätzlich zu dem Fach Agrarwissenschaften (das ich auch wegen der mit „befriedigend“ für mich schlechten NC-Note in Religion wählte ) besuchte ich die Hochschule ALANUS und lernte dabei die sieben hohen Künste kennen (die im Mittelalter für den Erwerb des Titels „MAGISTER“ Voraussetzung waren), darunter eben auch Sprachgestaltung.
Als ich mit 32 während des privaten Bibelstudiums GOTTES Ruf vernahm, ging ich in eine Pfingstgemeinde. Ich wurde gefragt, wann und wie ich mich „bekehrt“ hätte, ob ich getauft wäre etc pp.. Ich sagte: Ich bin ja da! Mein Zungensprechen wurde als esoterisch eingestuft, weil ich es bei Anthroposophen gelernt hätte. Mein Zeugnis von der Erfahrung Gottes und der Geistestaufe wurde nur partiell anerkannt, und zwar immer dann, wenn es „ins Konzept“ passte. So war es auch mit meinen offensichtlich erlebten Wundern , Heilungen, Machttaten, prophetischen Weisungen, Worten der Erkenntnis. Die Antwort auf die Frage, was soll erst sein, Wassertaufe oder Geistestaufe ist deshalb für mich wie die Frage: was war zuerst da: Die Henne oder das Ei?
Ich empfehle, das autonome Wirken Gottes nicht festlegen zu wollen. Ich stimme allerdings mit Nunnally und anderen Pfingstlern darin überein, dass die Geistestaufe meist als zweite Erfahrung nach der Erwachsenentaufe erlebt wird, die ja hier nicht dogmatisch als Ausschlusskriterium eines exklusiven Christentums gelehrt wird, sonder als eher symbolisch.
Das geht auch aus den angeführten Kapiteln hervor.
Die Bedeutung der Geistestaufe und Wassertaufe hatte ich bereits richtig eingeschätzt, als ich als geweihter und eingesetzter Diakon eine Erwachsenentaufe durchführte, die einzige, an die ich mich erinnern kann. Das war nach vatikanischem Recht sogar meine Pflicht (entsprechend der Taufe des äthiopischen Finanzministers durch Philippus, APG 8,26-40).
Fazit: auch wenn das jetzt eher als „mittelmäßig“ denn als „außergewöhnlich“ gewertet wird, möchte ich mich in dieser Frage nicht festlegen. Ich denke, ein kräftiges „entweder-oder/und/sowohl-als-auch“, wie in der griechischen Logik ist angebracht. Auch wenn das als „opportun“ gilt, eröffnet es eben gerade dadurch universale Möglichkeiten für ein inkardiertes Offenbaren der „Heiligen im Licht“. (999 Wörter- )
9 Beschreiben Sie eine pfingstliche Praxis, die in der Apostelgeschichte dargestellt und in Lektion 1 hervorgehoben wird, und wenden Sie sie in der Praxis an (etwa 350 Wörter).
Wie Wave Nunnally in der 1.Lektion beschreibt, stellen Theologie und Praxis der Geistesgaben, wie in der APG aufgeführt, einen herausragenden Stellenwert dar.
Besonders die Geistesgabe der Zungenrede, als offensichtliches Wirken des Heiligen Geistes ist eine von mir täglich geübte Praxis.
Die hier angeführte Hermeneutik bezieht sich ja nicht explizit auf die Katholische Kirche, erst recht nicht auf die Confraternity of the Most Holy ROSARY, die mit den Benedictine Fathers den Gebetskanon der frühern Kichenväter pflegen. Dieser Tradition fühle ich mich als Träger des Familiennamens,der in historischer Verbindung besteht zum Rosenkranz-Gebet und der gleichnamigen Gebetskette, verpflichtet.
Mit dem Autor stimme ich darin überein, dass es einige zeitgenössische hermeneutische und theologische Fragen gibt, die in den Pfingstgemeinen Praxen nicht oder nicht vollständig mit dem biblischen Kanon vereinbar ist, wie er in der Apostelgeschichte von ihrem Verfasser Lukas als nachahmenswert bewahrt wurde.
Gerade die Kontinuität des Heiligen Geistes in Kohärenz mit der Unveränderlichkeit Gottes zeigt sich in der Verbindung des liturgischen Rosenkranz-Gebets mit der pfingstlerischen Praxis des Zungengesangs oder –Gebets .Die Vertiefung der innigen Beziehung zwischen Christus und den Gläubigen als primäres Werk des Heiligen Geistes in der Bevollmächtigung der Heiligen zum Dienst wurde richtig erkannt und umgesetzt.
Anders als der Autor des Studienkurses sehe ich die Theologie und Praxis in verschiedenen Pfingstbewegungen allerdings großzügiger.
Es gibt auch Hermeneutiker, die es für unzulässig halten einen sog. “Zirkelschluss“ zu vollziehen und den Gebrauch von Gebetsketten und anderer Hilfsmittel kichengeschichtlich mit den in Karthago lokalisierten ,sehr geistbegabten jedoch nicht nachhaltigen Bewegung identifizieren. Auch der Rückbezug auf „Säulenheilige“ mit Gebetsutensilien, wie sie auch in anderen Religionen benutzt werden, stellt für manche ein Hindernis dar in der Anwendung des Zungengebets in der Theologie und Praxis.
In der Neuzeit sind durch neue Formen der Anbetung und des Gottesdienstes einige früher als unabänderlich geglaubte Grenzsteine in Bewegung geraten, jedoch: genau so ist GOTT seit jeher gewesen!
Fände das Prinzip Anwendung, „erlaubtes“ Wirken des Heiligen Geistes erst bei mehrfacher Erwähnung in der Apostelgeschichte, wie hätte Moses mit seinem Stab auf den Felsen klopfen, später eigentlich nur darauf weisen sollen und dann ins Wasser haltend die Wogen zurückhalten können?
Dreimal den Stab gebraucht, ist heute davon etwas normativ übrig in der pfingstlichen Gemeindepraxis?
Ich sehe, dass Schweißtücher von gesalbten Wundertätern und Heilern in kleine Schnipsel zerschnitten und versandt und verteilt werden- und: der Heilige Geist fällt und viele werden gerettet, lassen sich taufen, sind erfüllt mit dem Heiligen Geist (David Hogan in der TOS,2008,2009).
Wenn ich mit einem gedrehten, krummen Stab (wie David ihn als Weidestock zur Abwehr wilder Tiere benutze), in Zungen betend mit einer Kamera vor einer wachsenden Internetgemeinde life verbunden stehe, oder meditativ ein ROSARIUM segne, wie das bereits im Mittelalter in Rosenkranz Bruderschaften mitsamt Altarstein praktiziert wurde, dann würde das sicherlich als eher ungewöhnlich gewertet, hat jedoch Tradition.
Das mehrfache Erwähnen des Zungengebets im Kontext der APG, wie auch von Nunnally beschrieben, halte ich für ein normatives Glaubens- und Verhaltensmuster, das sich in der Praxis bewährt hat. (481 Wörter)

2). Statement of adult group related course objectives.
a) This course will be taught to a class of High School students in adult age groups.
b) Objective 1: Students will be able to identify the key character traits of a Christian concerning climate.
Objective 2: Students will understand the benefits/blessings of Christian living according to environment.
Objective 3: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the potential consequences of not living
according to Biblical standards, especcially occurring in the climate crisis.
c) The objectives are appropriate because this age group class members are both students and hard workers with their bodies in physical decline and some are unable to visit church. Teaching has to be brought to them according to their gear activities concerning their needs.
One of the methods is to deliver a home based internet learning platform. This helps to optimize their economic resources as well as to reduce their carbon output by ability to stay at home, not to drive to a central university campus and to give them more time to share with their families.
It is essential for their mental characteristics to motivate in a contemplative way.
The HOLY ROSARY PRAYER CHAIN and the ROSARY RIDGEBED CULTURE (as one possible climate solution they may build in their gardens by their own) are presenting a direct and effective way of a Christ-centred life according to the biblical standards of caring for others, protect and care for their environment, they are able to influence.
They like to share ideas and opinions influenced by their varied educational backgrounds.
Developing a green lifestyle, following JESUS example in fulfilment of GOD´s task can be understood by applying a moderate measurement for their change of behaviour. Creativity can be shared with others in their home church and congregation and in bible class.
They tend to become self- or family-related.
Therefore the pragmatical benefits of their change in behaviour for their family households and their “Carbondioxyd-footprint” ( billing of their homechurch´s reduce of carbon output, as a team) are shown. The challenges of other teams in the online – game scenario of “Safe the Earth” gives them a sudden feedback for their ability to manage the climate crisis in a Christ-centred manner.
Teaching suggestions are to lead them on a discovery of deep spiritual truths.
To maintain adults with spiritual insights means evenso to encourage them to share and value their own opinions.
The “Good Procedure” of ROSARY-Brotherhoods-of-Men as communities, where praying and working is in harmony with biblical standards and according to the natural resources, is supplying an obvious model of longlasting Christian livelihood with economical and ecological efforts. This leads to authoritative and trustful examples to reach for in good daily practice.
This objective should give them the ability to understand the key character traits of a Christian concerning their behaviour in times of climate change.
A second objective is to provide the adult group with a round table forum and create a friendly atmosphere in a kindly moderated hotconference room. This is not only necessary to connect with other Christians in a biblical curriculum, but eventhough delivers space and time of love and peace for a worldwide community of emerging church as one organisation of the virtual body of Christ. As a result they should be able to understand the blessings of Christian Living.
Social characteristics of change in family environment, new interestes and needs and church responsibilities have to be suggested. This development of characteristic traits of Christians are presented in university workshops and seminaries, added to this course. “Transdisciplinary Competence of Communication” at University of Regensburg leads to new land, according to the well-known 2006 Speeches of Pope Benedict XVI.
In Order to train this in their home churches supplies practical help in a internet-based curriculum.
Special mentors may spread this new knowledge and know-how as coaches in several crisis scenarios.
Guiding in establishing and maintaining a christian home, causes the need to teach adult group related
Interests to the students.
This is best done by showing adults that they are needed and loved.
Spiritual training and experience has to supply a continuing growing spirituality connected to the universal body of christ.
Encouraging, training and providing opportunities for service in the home church according to biblical standards is one teaching suggestion.
This should lead and challenge the teaching. As a third objective they should demonstrate an understanding of the potential consequences of not living according to Biblical standards and what this means to their environmental behaviour as a status in a ranking list of christ-centred ecological teams.
Objectives to identify, how Christ-centred livelihoods lead to ecological responses in personal behaviour to overcome the climate crisis use the methodology of hotconference teaching rooms and work out developing processes of adult study groups to discover their spiritual potential.
They deliver a “Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points” – Concept (HACCP) in order to discover how to manage creative scenarios, how to use their gifts and abilities to reduce their home churchs footprint (as measured in combination of ecological and economical parameters, like presented in the online-game “Safe-the Earth”).
Best –in –practice scenarios have been tested by Fraunhofer-Institute of Technology (Karlsruhe, Germany), together with TÜV Süd in 2004/5 with two reference groups (adult middle-class-companies manager and academic studens and doctors- group). This proofed the ecological “footprint” of companies and established the accredited UNFCCC-project baselines.
.
To involve adult study groups into a more familiar scenario according to biblical standards can be done by transforming the environmental knowledge to this education course, building up teams and evaluate the spiritual and ethical
issues by discussing the results of climate change competitions, that result as efforts and advantages of the ranking list of teams.
This should include round-table-discussions, open forum, moderated chatrooms and adviced teaching for included team members.Administrative coaches should provide advanced knowledge for those who care for life, and understand how GOD´s task to protect life give them a personal vision for praying and working to heal our planet.
This objective should be offered to adult students who dedicate their lifes to JESUS and show a right livelihood according to biblical standards as their natural christ-centred lifestile. As a result of this objective, the Order of the most HOLYROSARY PRAYER offers an ordination ceremony for the brotherhood-of-men Project for Principals of Teaching (ICI-Course 3102/3)

A HACCP-Concept (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) of personal behaviour in the beginning of the teaching gives a good measure to the effectiveness of reached goals after the Teaching .For implementation of the change the best practice projects can be driven to a UNFCCC- Climate project (e.g. as small scale landmanagement system CDM-project) Setting these standarts according to Biblical Example and following the rules gives the rewarded effort, trained in the scenario.

Place to show the adult age student class teams effort of change in behaviour in Christ-centred livelihoods according to biblical standards in a forthwritten HACCP-concept of their homechurch´s footprint in a ranking list of the online game “Safe –the Earth”
4) An explanation of teaching methodology you would use based on the students class adult age group, along with a statement of target cognitive levels of learning and a proposed method of testing or measuring goal achievement..
In order to teach adult groups it should be comfortable to involve the class members in activities in which they respond actively. To reach this it is appreciable to provide activities in which ther learner uses more than one of their senses at one time. Advanced organizers shall be used to fit the provided activities. As a challenge for evaluation the immediate knowledge of results will be available in a figure on ther teams website, showing, how much squarefeet of rainforrest they saved”. To reach the same goal, the learners should be involved in numerous varied activities, and regarding to the information there is the need of novel activities.
To lead an adult group to the evaluation level, where they can judge values, based on creteria, it is necessary for
them to put parts together to create something new on the synthesis level. This conditionally needs skills of analysis,
where the adults are able to solve climate problems systematically, braking down into the parts. While provided with the
environmetal game scenario of “safe-the-Earth”, the learners are challenged to transfer learning to new situations.
The examining applications spread comprehension by interpreting and translating into new forms. As a basic step
knowledge is given to increase memorizing and recalling.
Adults tend to react slowly on new megatrends, if their personally needs are not tangered.
This leads to the conclusion, that inhomogen adult teahing groups should be evaluated first.
Then follow the former mentioned areas of Knowledge and Understanding.
These general cognitive levels of learning are specialized and braught down to earth in certain steps:
1). On the Knowledge level the adult student group should memorize at least two changes in behaviour in a Christ-centred livelihood to overcome the climate crisis. They should explain the ROSARY-RIDGEBED-CULTURE and it´s impact to reduce their hoesehold´s carbondioxyd-output and describe how the ROSARY-PRAYER-CHAIN is related to it.
This is reached by supplying the methodology of an online-application in form of the ROSARY-PRAYER-CHAIN-widget and one video, explaining the ROSARY-RIDGEBED-CULTURE with a powerpoint-presentation in an online-Teaching-room.
2). On the Comprehension-level these learners should be able to define at least two causes of climate changes, like carbon output (CO²-“footprint”) and waste of energy and how a measurement for the results of their change in behaviour works to manage ecological solutions in a spiritual way.
To lead the adult class to this step, two adult age groups should be built.
One of them looks for their GOD-given task to care for life, protect and heal life on earth , like it is shown in the scriptures by usingflip charts for bible verses. The example of JESUS, fulfilling this task by loving and serving others is figured out.
The other adult age class group should explain in the example of the ROSARY-Brotherhood-of-men livelihood.
The contemplative way of Christ-centred lifestyle and the role of effective praying and working according to biblical rules should be scheduled by demonstrating the ability to use the ROSARY PRAYER widget as one tool to create a contemplative athmosphere.
Both groups then should bring their results together on a pinwall, creating a poster with coloured markers.
3). On the Application-level the students should be able to offer own activities that correspond to creative aims to reduce their carbon footprint and intensify their effectiveness in using of energy and resources. On this step of cognitive level they shall be leaded to evaluate their own change of behaviour and test their skills and attitudes by building up homechurch-teams in the scenario of the online game “Safe-the-Earth”.
The former recognized activities should be measured and discussed in open forums to establish HACCP-concepts in their familiar evironment in a moderate and friendly way. They should be able to teach others to accept these biblical standards of change in behaviour by building up teams, recruting members from their homechurch and reaching new members in the virtual body of Christ, using the online-based teaching rooms and the supplied tools.
On this level, the two groups of workshop teams, now called the “Convential group” and the “Contemplative group”
should demonstrate their ability to offer different solutions to undisired climate changes.
4). In an advanced step in the curriculum the adult age student class group should demonstrate a JESUS-centred lifestyle and give testimony through their own right livelihood by presenting peace and harmony with ethical standards according to the bible. This should lead the students to implement their change in behaviour to overcome the climate crisis in order to pray and work and to to love + serve others to manage the crisis.

review of essays, - part 1
Review:
Because of the partly occupied PC systems
by "policy Kit user" ("Staatstrojaner"),
and the given up server, where my ebook
was published,
it is useful to export some spiritual messages
of the past few years into a series of articles.
Please forgive me, if there is redundance, or
the chronical or systematical order is not obvious.
There are just a few interested readers, anyhow,
so they will understand.
In better times, this may be a source of wisdom
and a base of prophetical knowledge, that
could be a testimony for the GLORY of GOD.

1) DISCUSS WHY THE BIBLE TEACHER´S VIEW OF SCRIPTURE IS IMPORTANT IN HIS OR HER TEACHING MINISTRY. COMMENT ON THE AUTHOR´S EXAMINATION OF TWO PRIMARY VIEWS OF KNOWING GOD AND HOW EACH VIEW AFFECTS THE TEACHER´S MINISTRY.
The textbook author mentions three views of Scripture, that influences the teachers ministry.
There is the conservative view which implicates that it is God’s own revealed and authoritative written word that communicates with the believers. It is God’s message, His truth and His word that has been taught. The liberal view gave a new understanding of the place of the Bible in our relationship with GOD. This had progressive approaches in teaching, Christain nurture and education. GOD acting in our modern world just as he acted in the biblical world, is the main difference, that affects training and ministry. Human values and relationships moved into teaching plans, the goal of Christian Ministry became the enrichment of human life, the process of guiding people to discover the “higher Christian meaning” of their experiences.
The neo-orthodox view looked at the liberal view as “non-Chistian” and developed Christian faith and nurture in Christian revelation. A sovereign GOD, standing outside of history, disclosed himself in a historical Christ. Neo-orthodox view regards Gods word to be contained in the Bible.
The personal experience of religion is estimated and suggested as to be stimulated by the Scriptures.
Knowing GOD, who is unseen (Rom. 1:18-25) appeared to HIS nature (acts 17) of making himself known. His natural revelation (John 1:1-5,14,15) can be seen in JESUS CHRIST who is reflector of GODs glory.(Hebr.1:1-5). This new knowing of GOD in HIS Image (Col. 1:15-20) brings a special revelation with signs and wonders (John 20:30-31).
In conclusion, teaching ministry is affected by the kind of revelation of GOD. It may give information that is otherwise unknown. It can be revealed by the Spirit, communicated biblical content as information and using the language as medium. 284 words.
2) DEFINE INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE, AND DISCUSS VERBAL AND NONVERBAL REVELATION AND HOW BOTH WILL INFLUENCE WHAT IS TAUGHT BY THE TEACHER.
The inspiration of the Spirit of GOD is recorded in its own words, God’s special revelation concerning his dealings with human beings. The Bible has both divine quality and a human side to its design. Verbal revelation is given by the testimony of Jesus Christ, being the living Word of God ((John 1:14) The teaching of Scripture regard to be God’s words. In first place, God´s words are given to men, who spoke from God.(2.Peter 1:16-18, 21) God´s voice has been heard directly, reports the Bible , that is inspired by God (2.Tim. 3:16).
Verbal inspiration can vary in genre, like poetry, narrative and historical description. The form of genre does not change the fact of inspiration. The whole bible in inspired. Phrases and figures are used. This may lead the teacher to the point; he uses the same genres and reflects the creative nature of the living God. He then is going to interpret the written style. Historical general accounts e.g. need different interpretation than parables like the Prodigal Son. Even allegorical attitudes need special type teaching.
Nonverbal revelation is giving biblical statements, not limited to information in words. God spoke through events, like plagues, through things, like the tabernacle and furnishings and clothing, and through experiences, like the sacrifice ordained in the law.
The meaning of these nonverbal forms is interpretable only because of other revelations in words.
God is communicating by symbols and acts. This may influence the teacher to present nonverbal communication through verbally comments, using meaningful passages in the Bible. The words of Scripture are essential to comprehend the nonverbal message of the Bible. 269 words.
3) Define the message and the role of the Bible as the primary tools of the teacher. Be sure to discuss the four words Paul uses in II Timothy 3:16-17 to delineate the role of the Scriptures in equipping believers.
The message of the Bible is rooted in history and can be shown as an act of salvation of GOD with his people. His dealing with human beings is structured as a step by step revealed plan, marked in time by significant events, important persons, great ideas and advantages in creation. Like a divine drama, phases of unifying motif to understand the message of the Bible can be provided. The story-line of a three-act play, where Act1 is settled around Rightious Reflection, Act 2 is concerned with Refracted Reflection and Act 3 may be departed into another three scenes. Scene one gives initial Reconciliation, Scene two Daily Reconciliation and Scene Three Ultimate Reconciliation. Using this message as a guideline for universal provision for sin and the possibility for reconciliation of all believers is delivering a primary tool for teachers. The purpose of ministry is that ministers of the word are tools in the hand of GOD (2.Cor.5:17-21). This is scheduled as the “magna charta” for all believers, authoritative, directive and liberation. (Habermass and Issler). So, the items of metamorphosis and ministry, the conception of the messengers and the means of reconciliation focuses on four points, how reconciliation was accomplished.
The role of the bible is to Enlighten, to Expose, and to equippe. This equippement through the sacrifice of Christ is described by Paul (2. Tim. 3:16-17): Teaching, Rebuking, Correcting, Training.
According to this four words, the message and role of the bible is highlighted. First, the Bible presents the message of reconciliation, covering the New Testament as a fulfilment of the Old covenant. Second, it provides the means it provides the means by which the believer can experience daily the reconciled relationship that belongs to the Christian positionality. This tool to experience firsthand the preshaped story of reconciliation both underlines the message and role of the Bible. 307 words.
4) Define inductive Bible study method, and explain the five stages that are involved in the process of the study.
The Basis of Authority in Teaching is given through Scripture (2.Tim.2:15). On this foundation we can go from specific details to a general principle, which is called inductive. The Bible Study Method, basing on the inductive principle, follows a fife-step program. First step in the inductive bible study process is observation. The question: ”What does it say?” is answered. Specific details of the “Then and There” are mentioned. We can specify setting questions like : “Who is the author or speaker?” – “Why is this book written?” - “What was the occasion of the book?”– “What historic events surround this book?” – Where was it written? Who were the original recipients?” And we may identify context questions like: “What literary form is being employed in this passage?” – “What is the overall message of this book, and how does this passage fit into that message?” – “What precedes this passage? What follows?”. This can be departed from structural questions like: Are there any repeated words? Repeated phrases? – Does the author make any comparisons? Draw any contrasts? – Does the author raise any questions? Provide any answers? – Does the author point out any cause and effect relationships? – Is there any progression in this passage? In time? Action? Geography? – Does the passage have a climax? – Does the author use any figures of speech? – Is there a pivotal statement or word? – What linking words are used? What ideas do they link? – What verbs are used to describe action in the passage?
Second step is the interpretation. “What does it mean?” should be answered by discovering details through inductive study. We find this basic interpretative question in the Bible (Acts 8:30). Three rules help to answer that question: The Continuity of the message, the Context of the material and the Customary meaning.
Then the general principle is shaped out. The Generalisation “What is the Big Idea?” is building the bridge Principle. The terms may differ: proposition, central theme, thesis statement, but the concept is the same. Expository Preaching (Haddon W. Robinson) fits the two main ideas, formulating the questions: What is the author talking about? – What is the author saying about what he is talking about?
Following the fourth step of application, answering the question “What difference does it make?” brings deductive application to the “Here and Now”. Interpretation always precedes application. Teachers should answer the question by having a right measure on what is the relevant communication of Scripture. Application focuses on biblical answers on common issues. The bible uses concrete words rather than abstract. The Bible must be applied as God intended. The four-fold use of Scripture to teach, rebuke, correct and train in righteousness are points of application. Questions should be answered like: What was th communication setting? What traits to modern audience? – How can we identify with biblical people in their situation? – What further insights have we aquired about God`s dealings with His People through additional revelation? – When I understand an eternal truth or guiding principle, what specific, practical applications does this have for me and my congregation?
In a fifth range of specific Application, the Implementation step about “What must I change?” is resulting. The transformation of the word with its life-changing truth is recommended ( James 1:22-25). We have to ask ourselves, how we need to change. Do we need to change a viewpoint? Maybe its an attitude or a habit or behaviour that needs correction. Is there any new perspective we should embrace? Can we? The ultimate implication of Bible study for personal life is godliness. 583 words.
5) Briefly explain what the authors mean by “Levels of Learning Transfer” and give principles that will help the teacher creatively transfer learning to the student, as each level is addressed.
“The Levels of Learning Transfer”, mentioned by the authors, means the kind of learning the teacher is aiming for; each level represents a stage of greater transfer from sterile fact to live-changing experience.
In the textbook fife levels are characterized: The Rote Level, The Recognition Level, The Restatement Level, The Relation Level and The Realization Level.
The teacher’s role is changing step by step from Telling to Guiding.
The teaching emphasis follows the main principle of pure FACTS, which is Basic, but insufficient; next step is MEANING, in terms of worldview; and then MEANING in terms of life experience.
The creative Bible Teaching is teaching to constantly raise student’s levels of learning toward realization.
On the rote level the ability to repeat without thought of meaning is trained.
On the recognition level the ability to recognize biblical concepts is brought to consciousness.
On restatement level the ability to express or relate concepts to biblical system of thought is taught.
On relation level the ability to relate Bible truths to life and see appropriate response is guided.
On the realization level the actualizing response is motivated with the ability to apply biblical truths to daily life.
Creative Teaching can be more closely defined as consciously and effectively focusing on activities that raise student’s learning level. There are three main principles to reach this aim:
To change from focus on facts to focus on meaning, to raise from student passivity to student activity and to upgrade the role of a teacher from pure teller to more being a guide.
This can be reached through awaking the students respond, not even to memorize and listen, but merely to come to a stage of active thinking, integrating, discovering, relating and reasoning. These principles follow the steps of Learning Transfer Levels.
296 words.
6) Define what the author means by a teaching method that is directed toward a certain learning domain (or category). Include an explanation of why a creative learning is more than simply the use of a variety of methods? Choose one method and explain its use in the teaching process.
Pragmatism looks at the results of teaching for life change. The focus is laid on the exegetical idea and the pedagogical idea. The exegetical idea is known as the question dealing with the truth that the author of the passage intended the original hearers or readers to understand. Its also known as The Bridge Principle, The Central Idea or The Big Idea.
The pedagogical Idea deals with the truth that the teacher of the class wants the students to understand from the passage.
Reflected on the kinds of learning, we can differ some certain types or categories of learning.
According to Acts 2:37 Prof. Dr. Bloom found, that there are three domains of learning:
1. on the cognitive level, where Thinking and Knowing , which indicates Cognition, takes places in the “head” (similar to acts 2:37: “When the people heard this”..);
2. on the Affective Level, where Values and Attitudes that influence conviction are belonged in the “Heart” (corresponding with acts 2:37 ..”they where cut to the heart..”);
3. on the Behavioural domain, where Actions and Skills show Competence in the “Hands” (according to Acts 2:37 “.. and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” ..”). 201 words.
7) Summarize four teaching principles of „great“ teachers.
Great teachers use common practices to take good effort in their aims to teach.
They have credibility. That means, how is the teacher perceived, is he trustworthy?
Does he know what he is talking about, is the information he provides accurate? Theses are elements of reliability of information. His purity of motives is another hint on credibility. Why is he teaching, does it only fulfil his own need or is it in righteousness and honour to the LORD?
The warmth and friendliness of being human, showing humour and brake down ice-walls and taboos. The reputation of a great teacher is given through his testimony and the testimony of others about him. There has to be congruence between inner and outer testimony, he has to live, what he teaches. The teachers expertise, his qualification is strengthen his credibility. And, he must have a passion to teach, as if it is the most important truth, You may ever heard, when he is teaching.
They communicate clearly. Their messages are easy to understand or require no mental processing. The content, the purpose, the examples, the choice of words and the structure and presentation of their teaching are precisely developed. Clarity is a very important principle of great teachers.
They stimulate interest. They hook the learner, so that he pays attention and interest in the subject. He entertains the students to keep listening. Teachers involve the learner, so that he participates to the lecture. The equippement for daily living and practice is significant and relevant. Gods word must be applied.
They teach with style. The choice of vivid words paints pictures in the minds and hearts of students. Purposeful actions, movements and gestures contribute to the interest of students in the learning experience. Eye contact, body language, vocal variety and visual display and good structure of visual aids are even important as note-free delivery of the lecture.
They take the risk of creativity. New principles, methods or styles of teaching takes the risk, that the students maybe are not involved. A sound philosophy of teaching has to be performed, that is more focussed on the students engagement than on the teachers style or information transfer.
They value and respect students. They know that people are created in the image of GOD, and, like raw diamonds, who have to be shaped to fit, GOD is still working on them. A great teacher shows his respect and love for the students. 405 words
8) Discuss the importance of motivation in teaching, and the factors that motivate learning.
We decide between General and specific motivation. General motivation refers to the students overall attitude toward learning. It tends to remain stable over time and different situations. For the teacher its most difficult to alter.
Specific motivation is less stable and refers to a person’s motivation at a given time toward a specific topic or class.
Motivation can come from outside or inside the student. Extrinsic motivation is coming from positive or negative reinforcements to the learner. Intrinsic motivation is coming from inside the student. He may enjoy the subject, have a high level of general motivation, is seeking knowledge for a specific reason or desire to grow personally. Motivation takes place in all three domains of learning (Acts 2:37, resp. chapter 7), in head, heart and hands. But for learning to occur in any of these domains, the individual must exercise his will to learn. There are both personal and structural factors in education that motivate student participation I the learning process.
Personal factors that motivate learning are the Student-Teacher- relationship. The quality of outside-class contacts influences the inner-class-contacts and class-group-life is also important. (Phil. 1 and 1.Thess.2:9). A loving atmosphere and the depth and truth of the teachers real love expressed to his students are high motivation factors. This has to be cultivated, not only involving the outside-class activities, but merely the inner-class situation. Teachers overemphasize of authority, his empowering to settle issues, the right to control, command, and determine can be destructive of students motivation and have to be neglected. The ultimate control in the class must be in Christ and the HOL Spirit has to give direction.
Another motivation factor is the group dynamic, the relationships and atmosphere inside the class. The development according to the New Testament fellowship is important for motivation to learn. The opening up of students minds depends on that spiritual growth (Gal.6:2; Eph. 4:16). And the teachability of students as based on their own will to learn are relevant.
Structural factors of motivation can be overlooked by means of the Bible. The unique community, a unique oneness in Christ and a life that develops through the contribution of all, but is wider through elements built on the structure of lessons, the kind of methods and the way, how material is presented. People learn best when learning is patterned, e.g. by the Hook, Book, Look, Took – pattern. And people learn best, when learning is sequenced, a concept of a series of lessons.
People learn best when learning is encouraged, stimulated and relevant The application of learning is another structural motivation factor for learning.. 431 words.
9) Compare and contrast teaching the Bible to adults, youth and children.
a) Adults: To understand the adult learner its important to list the patterns of adult learning. Their desire for a safe environment, their emotional engagement, challenges and reflective opportunities have been accomplished. They desire to feel like they are being stretched. They want new situations and desire the unexpected, especially if they find it in a learning community.
The strength of adult learner are: they are self-motivated, self-disciplined, have variety of experiences and are relevance-focused. The like independent learning and aer able to bring in insightful contributions. Learning beyond the classroom and their well-functioning in the class are pros in adults education.
Patterns of the HBLT-Concept should lead the teacher to adult teaching strategies, that take care for the special needs of adults and are compared to their strengths. Following this structure, the “Hook” should focus the attention of adults, the “Book” should communicate Bible Content to them, the “Look” should guide insight with adult learners, and the “Took” should encourage their response. Providing adults with these structure, we are to recognize several principles for adult learners. They want to learn, are motivated, are oriented at practical problems. Theay are self-directed, fear failure and adult education must offer diversity.
b) Youth: Understanding how young people learn, must recognize the following strengths:
Youth learn best through experience and from caring role models. Best learning results can be stated, when youth are active in discovering truth and when a variety of methods are used. They learn best when lessons are relevant and needs focused. The HBLT-structure with Youth, must gain attention in relevant topics, humour and emotionally moving skits should be preferred. In the Book-step, Youth may be conducted in large or smaller groups. In the Look section adult team member should lead fife to ten students, the involvement of youth commitment should take the students to practical actions on the message and ideas they heard in the near future. Intended applications like little give-aways and add-ons like WWJD- shawls, buttons, T-shirts and rings with “Key –to-my-heart” are very popular and helpful. The identification factor of corporate identity gives a good feeling to youth students. Methods that work with youth , like art, drama, music, pencil & paper, verbal techniques, visual techniques and personal experience should vary.
A special task should be taken for youth who are in transition. That means, people who are in a period of instability preceded by and followed by a period of stability. Including the willingness to try, fail, learn, and grow, Youth teaching can be done.
c) Children:
In comparison to adults and youth, children need no closely reasoned teaching, they cannot understand. We have to be sure that what we teach is actually what GOD is saying and teaching and learning situations have to be creatively structured. There are several factors for children’s bible teacher to be recognized:
The teaching must be true to God’s word. The teaching should relate to a child’s present needs and experiences. Teaching must make scripture relevant on the child’s own level.
This is because children learn by experiencing and doing. Allow hands-on experiences rather than just talking with them. Children learn by example. Be aware of the behaviours and attitudes you model as a teacher. Children learn by repetition with variation. Provide familiar books and use stories and concepts repeatedly. Children learn through concrete language and experiences, and they think literally and concretely.
Methods for teaching children are storytelling, questions, discussions, projects and creative activities.
The use of the HBLT structure with children follows special strategies, for attention getting must be precise, vivid and directly fascinating. The narrative stories of the bible woven into word pictures will interest and impress children. Main needs like security, physical needs and love should be taught through bible characters. The Look, guiding insight with children has to follow the children’s need to participate actively to apply the scripture to life. The Took-step has to encourage response of children. The teacher should lead the pupils to the brink of own decision making. Learning activities have to help children to have response opportunities.
Teaching children must be seen in the larger context of life- outside the classroom and learning situation.. There for acquaint parents with their responsibility. Keep parents aware of what teachers are teaching. Program leaders and teachers should be made more sensitive to the need for working with the home. Pastors should oversee and harmonize the church-home- relationship. 735 words.
10) Using the model of study given in chapters 4 and 5, select another passage in the Book of Hebrews or one of the epistles, and conduct your own inductive study of that passage. Be sure to label each of the five steps involved.
The 11th chapter in the book of Hebrew is selected. My own inductive Bible study is conducted., of this passage. The fife steps of bible study is labelled. The KING JAMES VERSION is used and the LIBRONIX Digital Bibliotheca, LOGOS Scholar’s Library Gold edition.
A) First step in the inductive bible study process is observation. The question: ”What does it say?”
The main theme and topic is faith. A definition is given. Examples of biblical characters, and what they did by faith, are listed. So the right answer is “what to do through faith” is said.
Which specific details are mentioned? “Then and There” are mentioned. The epistle Paul wrote to a persecuted community, which needed comforting, counselling, strenghening,. We can specify setting questions like : “Who is the author or speaker?” – “Why is this book written?” - “What was the occasion of the book?”– “What historic events surround this book?” – Where was it written? Who were the original recipients?” – The Hebrew letter is a form of epistle, a teaching lecture, addressed to specific people, who have been well-known to the writer. Dated 90 – 100 A.D. he was send to messianic Jews in Hebrew-talking churches. This time was over shaded by persecution. The author is giving trust by mentioning examples of faith heroes, who have been known to the recipients by the Holy Scriptures.
B) Second step is the interpretation. “What does it mean?” Strengthening of faith in times of persecution by good example means entrusting the believers. The given definition of faith is not only an allegory but daily help.
C) Then the general principle is shaped out. The Generalisation “What is the Big Idea?” is building the bridge Principle. Some call the 11th chapter the “Famous Hall of Faith” or “Heroes of faith”.
D) Following the fourth step of application, answering the question “What difference does it make?” brings deductive application to the “Here and Now”.
In our days, heroes of faith sometimes are neglected or have an image of over-charismatic. You may not face any persecution, if You live a life of harmony to the world-like church. But if You experience the flames of supernatural faith, signs and wonders, people of the world and even inside the government-equipped churches call You crazy, chaotic or obscure. If You stand to Your visions, gifts and Theophanous experiences, you may face persecution, as well as the believers in messianic jewish congregations in the 1rst century. So, in this concern, the Hebrew letter gives us teaching, strengthening of faith and comforting for our daily life, as well. The author, Paul, speaks to us in our churches all over the world, today. So the epistles can be taught in all congregations.
E) In a fifth range of specific Application, the Implementation step about “What must I change?” is resulting. On the Rote Level, we just get the information, memorize it and repeat the raw material. On the Recognition Level, we try to understand the meaning of the message. On the Restatement Level, we are going to connect the message with present situations. On the Relation Level , we relate it to our daily life and relationships. The Realization Level. gives opportunities to find new solutions for application in our live changing experiences.
In this case the application of the “best in practice” procedure of the heroes of faith would cause an implementation of new belief in our Christian and non-Christian environment. 569 words.
11) Table 9a and 9b (pages 110-111) enables the teacher to assess his or her student’s needs. Permission has been received from the publisher for You to photo copy this page in order to complete this study. If you are presently teaching a class, please use this tool to asses your class. If you are not presently teaching, work with the class or group you are currently a part of, and assess their needs.
See applied tables.
12) Use the following worksheet to design a lesson using the HBLT structure. You may choose the age of your group, but if you choose an adult group you may also use the findings from your inductive study of a passage of Scripture in your lesson planning.
See applied worksheets.
13) Evaluate the author’s ability to creatively teach concepts found in this book. Choose one principle or help technique that you may not have known before, explain the principle and how you intend to incorporate this principle into your future ministry.
In order to use the evaluation model of Stake, that has been used in the author’s book for Educational Programs and teaching events, the ability to creatively teach the concepts found in the book, we look at the several points of control, which have been mentioned above in chapter 12 on the working sheet for evaluation. The Expected and Actual Learning Antecedents (ELA;ALA), the Expected and Actual Learning Transactions (ELT;ALT) and the Expected and Actual Learning Outcomes (ELO;ALO) have been measured. For teaching creatively following standards have been founded: Teachers of Excellence use a variety of methods with love and understanding for the learners. As far, as I was studying not in a study group, but alone from my home, the ELA was, to make the course in a short time with good effort and to applicate the new principles into direct teaching events. The ALA means to me that I regularly finished the course within 3 month, taught on a family sea-funeral, that all participants loved and liked very much. ALT, as taught in the book could be acquired, using the speech of symbolism in a ceremony, to underline the teaching. The variety of methods, as a application for excellent teaching could have been settled with a adult family group. The lectures, as structured by the textbook, took place in the ELT involving the Teacher(me) and the Learners (my Family) into clan group prayer and commitments. The Hook of ashes spreading ceremony, the Book-step of mini-lecture in Hebrews the Look into our present situations and the encouragement for this life-changing event could be followed according to the learning program and leaded to the expected Transactions. As a result of the ALO, the L/T seem to snap (grasp) the message. The group was able to discuss intelligently the priesthood and the role of the kingdom of GOD on a master degree level, answering the bridge-question of “Supervision- deceive and chance”. The ELO could be stated, that Christian priestly and administrating ministry have been understood. Times of persecution, overcoming of hindering laws and rules leaded to values of encouragement and freedom. The establishment of regular family meetings, the family prayer (The Most Holy ROSARY), the estimation of unwritten and unspoken clan rules could be taken for granted. An affirmation to invite following ceremonial family meetings, like a marriage have been looked forward to.
To evaluate the TLP=f (l,t,c,e) , it is necessary to choose one principle or help technique, that I may not have known before. The HBLT –principle, that appeared to be a main topic or help technique, have been integrated into my ministry of teaching events. The HOOK in a ceremony like a funeral is the dedicated fulfilment of the last will of the deceived person. In this case it has been performed at the seaside of the northern sea shore in the Netherlands. The HOOK involved four out of 5 invited family branch leaders. The BOOK concept started with a little beloved song that was well-known in our family, and that has got a new, special meaning and depth of understanding and spiritual development. The teaching by ceremony, christ-centred following the exegetical concept, leaded to the point, where the Teacher/Learner roles have been changed. The priesthood and the Kingdom of GOD has been shown obviously by all recipients. A discussion started on the topic: “Supervision- deceive and chance” following the line-thesis that death is the ultimate deceive and overcoming death in eternal life with JESUS can be interpreted as our realistic chance to survive. A Supervision, that involves systematically Family Therapy shows new ways of life-changing experiences, if resurrection and eternal life in the heavenly Jerusalem has been postulated. The LOOK-step included brainstorming, goal-getting, personal commitments, prayer and encouragements. Even sad events, like a funeral took the learners according to these principles of the textbook to a vivid experience of strengthening faith and active counselling and comforting, included in the teaching environment. The future Commitment of taking constituting and binding pastoral acts, together with the acceptance of the Most Holy Rosary Prayer as a family-related specific group prayer could be seen as a best-in-practice result of the author’s teaching principle of the HBLT. In so far all feedbacks stated the effort of using this teaching help.
Evaluating the variety of methods that have been given, makes me happy, because it’s an honour, to be part of the excellent teachers A-course. 732 words.

Because of the partly occupied PC systems
by "policy Kit user" ("Staatstrojaner"),
and the given up server, where my ebook
was published,
it is useful to export some spiritual messages
of the past few years into a series of articles.
Please forgive me, if there is redundance, or
the chronical or systematical order is not obvious.
There are just a few interested readers, anyhow,
so they will understand.
In better times, this may be a source of wisdom
and a base of prophetical knowledge, that
could be a testimony for the GLORY of GOD.

1) DISCUSS WHY THE BIBLE TEACHER´S VIEW OF SCRIPTURE IS IMPORTANT IN HIS OR HER TEACHING MINISTRY. COMMENT ON THE AUTHOR´S EXAMINATION OF TWO PRIMARY VIEWS OF KNOWING GOD AND HOW EACH VIEW AFFECTS THE TEACHER´S MINISTRY.
The textbook author mentions three views of Scripture, that influences the teachers ministry.
There is the conservative view which implicates that it is God’s own revealed and authoritative written word that communicates with the believers. It is God’s message, His truth and His word that has been taught. The liberal view gave a new understanding of the place of the Bible in our relationship with GOD. This had progressive approaches in teaching, Christain nurture and education. GOD acting in our modern world just as he acted in the biblical world, is the main difference, that affects training and ministry. Human values and relationships moved into teaching plans, the goal of Christian Ministry became the enrichment of human life, the process of guiding people to discover the “higher Christian meaning” of their experiences.
The neo-orthodox view looked at the liberal view as “non-Chistian” and developed Christian faith and nurture in Christian revelation. A sovereign GOD, standing outside of history, disclosed himself in a historical Christ. Neo-orthodox view regards Gods word to be contained in the Bible.
The personal experience of religion is estimated and suggested as to be stimulated by the Scriptures.
Knowing GOD, who is unseen (Rom. 1:18-25) appeared to HIS nature (acts 17) of making himself known. His natural revelation (John 1:1-5,14,15) can be seen in JESUS CHRIST who is reflector of GODs glory.(Hebr.1:1-5). This new knowing of GOD in HIS Image (Col. 1:15-20) brings a special revelation with signs and wonders (John 20:30-31).
In conclusion, teaching ministry is affected by the kind of revelation of GOD. It may give information that is otherwise unknown. It can be revealed by the Spirit, communicated biblical content as information and using the language as medium. 284 words.
2) DEFINE INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE, AND DISCUSS VERBAL AND NONVERBAL REVELATION AND HOW BOTH WILL INFLUENCE WHAT IS TAUGHT BY THE TEACHER.
The inspiration of the Spirit of GOD is recorded in its own words, God’s special revelation concerning his dealings with human beings. The Bible has both divine quality and a human side to its design. Verbal revelation is given by the testimony of Jesus Christ, being the living Word of God ((John 1:14) The teaching of Scripture regard to be God’s words. In first place, God´s words are given to men, who spoke from God.(2.Peter 1:16-18, 21) God´s voice has been heard directly, reports the Bible , that is inspired by God (2.Tim. 3:16).
Verbal inspiration can vary in genre, like poetry, narrative and historical description. The form of genre does not change the fact of inspiration. The whole bible in inspired. Phrases and figures are used. This may lead the teacher to the point; he uses the same genres and reflects the creative nature of the living God. He then is going to interpret the written style. Historical general accounts e.g. need different interpretation than parables like the Prodigal Son. Even allegorical attitudes need special type teaching.
Nonverbal revelation is giving biblical statements, not limited to information in words. God spoke through events, like plagues, through things, like the tabernacle and furnishings and clothing, and through experiences, like the sacrifice ordained in the law.
The meaning of these nonverbal forms is interpretable only because of other revelations in words.
God is communicating by symbols and acts. This may influence the teacher to present nonverbal communication through verbally comments, using meaningful passages in the Bible. The words of Scripture are essential to comprehend the nonverbal message of the Bible. 269 words.
3) Define the message and the role of the Bible as the primary tools of the teacher. Be sure to discuss the four words Paul uses in II Timothy 3:16-17 to delineate the role of the Scriptures in equipping believers.
The message of the Bible is rooted in history and can be shown as an act of salvation of GOD with his people. His dealing with human beings is structured as a step by step revealed plan, marked in time by significant events, important persons, great ideas and advantages in creation. Like a divine drama, phases of unifying motif to understand the message of the Bible can be provided. The story-line of a three-act play, where Act1 is settled around Rightious Reflection, Act 2 is concerned with Refracted Reflection and Act 3 may be departed into another three scenes. Scene one gives initial Reconciliation, Scene two Daily Reconciliation and Scene Three Ultimate Reconciliation. Using this message as a guideline for universal provision for sin and the possibility for reconciliation of all believers is delivering a primary tool for teachers. The purpose of ministry is that ministers of the word are tools in the hand of GOD (2.Cor.5:17-21). This is scheduled as the “magna charta” for all believers, authoritative, directive and liberation. (Habermass and Issler). So, the items of metamorphosis and ministry, the conception of the messengers and the means of reconciliation focuses on four points, how reconciliation was accomplished.
The role of the bible is to Enlighten, to Expose, and to equippe. This equippement through the sacrifice of Christ is described by Paul (2. Tim. 3:16-17): Teaching, Rebuking, Correcting, Training.
According to this four words, the message and role of the bible is highlighted. First, the Bible presents the message of reconciliation, covering the New Testament as a fulfilment of the Old covenant. Second, it provides the means it provides the means by which the believer can experience daily the reconciled relationship that belongs to the Christian positionality. This tool to experience firsthand the preshaped story of reconciliation both underlines the message and role of the Bible. 307 words.
4) Define inductive Bible study method, and explain the five stages that are involved in the process of the study.
The Basis of Authority in Teaching is given through Scripture (2.Tim.2:15). On this foundation we can go from specific details to a general principle, which is called inductive. The Bible Study Method, basing on the inductive principle, follows a fife-step program. First step in the inductive bible study process is observation. The question: ”What does it say?” is answered. Specific details of the “Then and There” are mentioned. We can specify setting questions like : “Who is the author or speaker?” – “Why is this book written?” - “What was the occasion of the book?”– “What historic events surround this book?” – Where was it written? Who were the original recipients?” And we may identify context questions like: “What literary form is being employed in this passage?” – “What is the overall message of this book, and how does this passage fit into that message?” – “What precedes this passage? What follows?”. This can be departed from structural questions like: Are there any repeated words? Repeated phrases? – Does the author make any comparisons? Draw any contrasts? – Does the author raise any questions? Provide any answers? – Does the author point out any cause and effect relationships? – Is there any progression in this passage? In time? Action? Geography? – Does the passage have a climax? – Does the author use any figures of speech? – Is there a pivotal statement or word? – What linking words are used? What ideas do they link? – What verbs are used to describe action in the passage?
Second step is the interpretation. “What does it mean?” should be answered by discovering details through inductive study. We find this basic interpretative question in the Bible (Acts 8:30). Three rules help to answer that question: The Continuity of the message, the Context of the material and the Customary meaning.
Then the general principle is shaped out. The Generalisation “What is the Big Idea?” is building the bridge Principle. The terms may differ: proposition, central theme, thesis statement, but the concept is the same. Expository Preaching (Haddon W. Robinson) fits the two main ideas, formulating the questions: What is the author talking about? – What is the author saying about what he is talking about?
Following the fourth step of application, answering the question “What difference does it make?” brings deductive application to the “Here and Now”. Interpretation always precedes application. Teachers should answer the question by having a right measure on what is the relevant communication of Scripture. Application focuses on biblical answers on common issues. The bible uses concrete words rather than abstract. The Bible must be applied as God intended. The four-fold use of Scripture to teach, rebuke, correct and train in righteousness are points of application. Questions should be answered like: What was th communication setting? What traits to modern audience? – How can we identify with biblical people in their situation? – What further insights have we aquired about God`s dealings with His People through additional revelation? – When I understand an eternal truth or guiding principle, what specific, practical applications does this have for me and my congregation?
In a fifth range of specific Application, the Implementation step about “What must I change?” is resulting. The transformation of the word with its life-changing truth is recommended ( James 1:22-25). We have to ask ourselves, how we need to change. Do we need to change a viewpoint? Maybe its an attitude or a habit or behaviour that needs correction. Is there any new perspective we should embrace? Can we? The ultimate implication of Bible study for personal life is godliness. 583 words.
5) Briefly explain what the authors mean by “Levels of Learning Transfer” and give principles that will help the teacher creatively transfer learning to the student, as each level is addressed.
“The Levels of Learning Transfer”, mentioned by the authors, means the kind of learning the teacher is aiming for; each level represents a stage of greater transfer from sterile fact to live-changing experience.
In the textbook fife levels are characterized: The Rote Level, The Recognition Level, The Restatement Level, The Relation Level and The Realization Level.
The teacher’s role is changing step by step from Telling to Guiding.
The teaching emphasis follows the main principle of pure FACTS, which is Basic, but insufficient; next step is MEANING, in terms of worldview; and then MEANING in terms of life experience.
The creative Bible Teaching is teaching to constantly raise student’s levels of learning toward realization.
On the rote level the ability to repeat without thought of meaning is trained.
On the recognition level the ability to recognize biblical concepts is brought to consciousness.
On restatement level the ability to express or relate concepts to biblical system of thought is taught.
On relation level the ability to relate Bible truths to life and see appropriate response is guided.
On the realization level the actualizing response is motivated with the ability to apply biblical truths to daily life.
Creative Teaching can be more closely defined as consciously and effectively focusing on activities that raise student’s learning level. There are three main principles to reach this aim:
To change from focus on facts to focus on meaning, to raise from student passivity to student activity and to upgrade the role of a teacher from pure teller to more being a guide.
This can be reached through awaking the students respond, not even to memorize and listen, but merely to come to a stage of active thinking, integrating, discovering, relating and reasoning. These principles follow the steps of Learning Transfer Levels.
296 words.
6) Define what the author means by a teaching method that is directed toward a certain learning domain (or category). Include an explanation of why a creative learning is more than simply the use of a variety of methods? Choose one method and explain its use in the teaching process.
Pragmatism looks at the results of teaching for life change. The focus is laid on the exegetical idea and the pedagogical idea. The exegetical idea is known as the question dealing with the truth that the author of the passage intended the original hearers or readers to understand. Its also known as The Bridge Principle, The Central Idea or The Big Idea.
The pedagogical Idea deals with the truth that the teacher of the class wants the students to understand from the passage.
Reflected on the kinds of learning, we can differ some certain types or categories of learning.
According to Acts 2:37 Prof. Dr. Bloom found, that there are three domains of learning:
1. on the cognitive level, where Thinking and Knowing , which indicates Cognition, takes places in the “head” (similar to acts 2:37: “When the people heard this”..);
2. on the Affective Level, where Values and Attitudes that influence conviction are belonged in the “Heart” (corresponding with acts 2:37 ..”they where cut to the heart..”);
3. on the Behavioural domain, where Actions and Skills show Competence in the “Hands” (according to Acts 2:37 “.. and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” ..”). 201 words.
7) Summarize four teaching principles of „great“ teachers.
Great teachers use common practices to take good effort in their aims to teach.
They have credibility. That means, how is the teacher perceived, is he trustworthy?
Does he know what he is talking about, is the information he provides accurate? Theses are elements of reliability of information. His purity of motives is another hint on credibility. Why is he teaching, does it only fulfil his own need or is it in righteousness and honour to the LORD?
The warmth and friendliness of being human, showing humour and brake down ice-walls and taboos. The reputation of a great teacher is given through his testimony and the testimony of others about him. There has to be congruence between inner and outer testimony, he has to live, what he teaches. The teachers expertise, his qualification is strengthen his credibility. And, he must have a passion to teach, as if it is the most important truth, You may ever heard, when he is teaching.
They communicate clearly. Their messages are easy to understand or require no mental processing. The content, the purpose, the examples, the choice of words and the structure and presentation of their teaching are precisely developed. Clarity is a very important principle of great teachers.
They stimulate interest. They hook the learner, so that he pays attention and interest in the subject. He entertains the students to keep listening. Teachers involve the learner, so that he participates to the lecture. The equippement for daily living and practice is significant and relevant. Gods word must be applied.
They teach with style. The choice of vivid words paints pictures in the minds and hearts of students. Purposeful actions, movements and gestures contribute to the interest of students in the learning experience. Eye contact, body language, vocal variety and visual display and good structure of visual aids are even important as note-free delivery of the lecture.
They take the risk of creativity. New principles, methods or styles of teaching takes the risk, that the students maybe are not involved. A sound philosophy of teaching has to be performed, that is more focussed on the students engagement than on the teachers style or information transfer.
They value and respect students. They know that people are created in the image of GOD, and, like raw diamonds, who have to be shaped to fit, GOD is still working on them. A great teacher shows his respect and love for the students. 405 words
8) Discuss the importance of motivation in teaching, and the factors that motivate learning.
We decide between General and specific motivation. General motivation refers to the students overall attitude toward learning. It tends to remain stable over time and different situations. For the teacher its most difficult to alter.
Specific motivation is less stable and refers to a person’s motivation at a given time toward a specific topic or class.
Motivation can come from outside or inside the student. Extrinsic motivation is coming from positive or negative reinforcements to the learner. Intrinsic motivation is coming from inside the student. He may enjoy the subject, have a high level of general motivation, is seeking knowledge for a specific reason or desire to grow personally. Motivation takes place in all three domains of learning (Acts 2:37, resp. chapter 7), in head, heart and hands. But for learning to occur in any of these domains, the individual must exercise his will to learn. There are both personal and structural factors in education that motivate student participation I the learning process.
Personal factors that motivate learning are the Student-Teacher- relationship. The quality of outside-class contacts influences the inner-class-contacts and class-group-life is also important. (Phil. 1 and 1.Thess.2:9). A loving atmosphere and the depth and truth of the teachers real love expressed to his students are high motivation factors. This has to be cultivated, not only involving the outside-class activities, but merely the inner-class situation. Teachers overemphasize of authority, his empowering to settle issues, the right to control, command, and determine can be destructive of students motivation and have to be neglected. The ultimate control in the class must be in Christ and the HOL Spirit has to give direction.
Another motivation factor is the group dynamic, the relationships and atmosphere inside the class. The development according to the New Testament fellowship is important for motivation to learn. The opening up of students minds depends on that spiritual growth (Gal.6:2; Eph. 4:16). And the teachability of students as based on their own will to learn are relevant.
Structural factors of motivation can be overlooked by means of the Bible. The unique community, a unique oneness in Christ and a life that develops through the contribution of all, but is wider through elements built on the structure of lessons, the kind of methods and the way, how material is presented. People learn best when learning is patterned, e.g. by the Hook, Book, Look, Took – pattern. And people learn best, when learning is sequenced, a concept of a series of lessons.
People learn best when learning is encouraged, stimulated and relevant The application of learning is another structural motivation factor for learning.. 431 words.
9) Compare and contrast teaching the Bible to adults, youth and children.
a) Adults: To understand the adult learner its important to list the patterns of adult learning. Their desire for a safe environment, their emotional engagement, challenges and reflective opportunities have been accomplished. They desire to feel like they are being stretched. They want new situations and desire the unexpected, especially if they find it in a learning community.
The strength of adult learner are: they are self-motivated, self-disciplined, have variety of experiences and are relevance-focused. The like independent learning and aer able to bring in insightful contributions. Learning beyond the classroom and their well-functioning in the class are pros in adults education.
Patterns of the HBLT-Concept should lead the teacher to adult teaching strategies, that take care for the special needs of adults and are compared to their strengths. Following this structure, the “Hook” should focus the attention of adults, the “Book” should communicate Bible Content to them, the “Look” should guide insight with adult learners, and the “Took” should encourage their response. Providing adults with these structure, we are to recognize several principles for adult learners. They want to learn, are motivated, are oriented at practical problems. Theay are self-directed, fear failure and adult education must offer diversity.
b) Youth: Understanding how young people learn, must recognize the following strengths:
Youth learn best through experience and from caring role models. Best learning results can be stated, when youth are active in discovering truth and when a variety of methods are used. They learn best when lessons are relevant and needs focused. The HBLT-structure with Youth, must gain attention in relevant topics, humour and emotionally moving skits should be preferred. In the Book-step, Youth may be conducted in large or smaller groups. In the Look section adult team member should lead fife to ten students, the involvement of youth commitment should take the students to practical actions on the message and ideas they heard in the near future. Intended applications like little give-aways and add-ons like WWJD- shawls, buttons, T-shirts and rings with “Key –to-my-heart” are very popular and helpful. The identification factor of corporate identity gives a good feeling to youth students. Methods that work with youth , like art, drama, music, pencil & paper, verbal techniques, visual techniques and personal experience should vary.
A special task should be taken for youth who are in transition. That means, people who are in a period of instability preceded by and followed by a period of stability. Including the willingness to try, fail, learn, and grow, Youth teaching can be done.
c) Children:
In comparison to adults and youth, children need no closely reasoned teaching, they cannot understand. We have to be sure that what we teach is actually what GOD is saying and teaching and learning situations have to be creatively structured. There are several factors for children’s bible teacher to be recognized:
The teaching must be true to God’s word. The teaching should relate to a child’s present needs and experiences. Teaching must make scripture relevant on the child’s own level.
This is because children learn by experiencing and doing. Allow hands-on experiences rather than just talking with them. Children learn by example. Be aware of the behaviours and attitudes you model as a teacher. Children learn by repetition with variation. Provide familiar books and use stories and concepts repeatedly. Children learn through concrete language and experiences, and they think literally and concretely.
Methods for teaching children are storytelling, questions, discussions, projects and creative activities.
The use of the HBLT structure with children follows special strategies, for attention getting must be precise, vivid and directly fascinating. The narrative stories of the bible woven into word pictures will interest and impress children. Main needs like security, physical needs and love should be taught through bible characters. The Look, guiding insight with children has to follow the children’s need to participate actively to apply the scripture to life. The Took-step has to encourage response of children. The teacher should lead the pupils to the brink of own decision making. Learning activities have to help children to have response opportunities.
Teaching children must be seen in the larger context of life- outside the classroom and learning situation.. There for acquaint parents with their responsibility. Keep parents aware of what teachers are teaching. Program leaders and teachers should be made more sensitive to the need for working with the home. Pastors should oversee and harmonize the church-home- relationship. 735 words.
10) Using the model of study given in chapters 4 and 5, select another passage in the Book of Hebrews or one of the epistles, and conduct your own inductive study of that passage. Be sure to label each of the five steps involved.
The 11th chapter in the book of Hebrew is selected. My own inductive Bible study is conducted., of this passage. The fife steps of bible study is labelled. The KING JAMES VERSION is used and the LIBRONIX Digital Bibliotheca, LOGOS Scholar’s Library Gold edition.
A) First step in the inductive bible study process is observation. The question: ”What does it say?”
The main theme and topic is faith. A definition is given. Examples of biblical characters, and what they did by faith, are listed. So the right answer is “what to do through faith” is said.
Which specific details are mentioned? “Then and There” are mentioned. The epistle Paul wrote to a persecuted community, which needed comforting, counselling, strenghening,. We can specify setting questions like : “Who is the author or speaker?” – “Why is this book written?” - “What was the occasion of the book?”– “What historic events surround this book?” – Where was it written? Who were the original recipients?” – The Hebrew letter is a form of epistle, a teaching lecture, addressed to specific people, who have been well-known to the writer. Dated 90 – 100 A.D. he was send to messianic Jews in Hebrew-talking churches. This time was over shaded by persecution. The author is giving trust by mentioning examples of faith heroes, who have been known to the recipients by the Holy Scriptures.
B) Second step is the interpretation. “What does it mean?” Strengthening of faith in times of persecution by good example means entrusting the believers. The given definition of faith is not only an allegory but daily help.
C) Then the general principle is shaped out. The Generalisation “What is the Big Idea?” is building the bridge Principle. Some call the 11th chapter the “Famous Hall of Faith” or “Heroes of faith”.
D) Following the fourth step of application, answering the question “What difference does it make?” brings deductive application to the “Here and Now”.
In our days, heroes of faith sometimes are neglected or have an image of over-charismatic. You may not face any persecution, if You live a life of harmony to the world-like church. But if You experience the flames of supernatural faith, signs and wonders, people of the world and even inside the government-equipped churches call You crazy, chaotic or obscure. If You stand to Your visions, gifts and Theophanous experiences, you may face persecution, as well as the believers in messianic jewish congregations in the 1rst century. So, in this concern, the Hebrew letter gives us teaching, strengthening of faith and comforting for our daily life, as well. The author, Paul, speaks to us in our churches all over the world, today. So the epistles can be taught in all congregations.
E) In a fifth range of specific Application, the Implementation step about “What must I change?” is resulting. On the Rote Level, we just get the information, memorize it and repeat the raw material. On the Recognition Level, we try to understand the meaning of the message. On the Restatement Level, we are going to connect the message with present situations. On the Relation Level , we relate it to our daily life and relationships. The Realization Level. gives opportunities to find new solutions for application in our live changing experiences.
In this case the application of the “best in practice” procedure of the heroes of faith would cause an implementation of new belief in our Christian and non-Christian environment. 569 words.
11) Table 9a and 9b (pages 110-111) enables the teacher to assess his or her student’s needs. Permission has been received from the publisher for You to photo copy this page in order to complete this study. If you are presently teaching a class, please use this tool to asses your class. If you are not presently teaching, work with the class or group you are currently a part of, and assess their needs.
See applied tables.
12) Use the following worksheet to design a lesson using the HBLT structure. You may choose the age of your group, but if you choose an adult group you may also use the findings from your inductive study of a passage of Scripture in your lesson planning.
See applied worksheets.
13) Evaluate the author’s ability to creatively teach concepts found in this book. Choose one principle or help technique that you may not have known before, explain the principle and how you intend to incorporate this principle into your future ministry.
In order to use the evaluation model of Stake, that has been used in the author’s book for Educational Programs and teaching events, the ability to creatively teach the concepts found in the book, we look at the several points of control, which have been mentioned above in chapter 12 on the working sheet for evaluation. The Expected and Actual Learning Antecedents (ELA;ALA), the Expected and Actual Learning Transactions (ELT;ALT) and the Expected and Actual Learning Outcomes (ELO;ALO) have been measured. For teaching creatively following standards have been founded: Teachers of Excellence use a variety of methods with love and understanding for the learners. As far, as I was studying not in a study group, but alone from my home, the ELA was, to make the course in a short time with good effort and to applicate the new principles into direct teaching events. The ALA means to me that I regularly finished the course within 3 month, taught on a family sea-funeral, that all participants loved and liked very much. ALT, as taught in the book could be acquired, using the speech of symbolism in a ceremony, to underline the teaching. The variety of methods, as a application for excellent teaching could have been settled with a adult family group. The lectures, as structured by the textbook, took place in the ELT involving the Teacher(me) and the Learners (my Family) into clan group prayer and commitments. The Hook of ashes spreading ceremony, the Book-step of mini-lecture in Hebrews the Look into our present situations and the encouragement for this life-changing event could be followed according to the learning program and leaded to the expected Transactions. As a result of the ALO, the L/T seem to snap (grasp) the message. The group was able to discuss intelligently the priesthood and the role of the kingdom of GOD on a master degree level, answering the bridge-question of “Supervision- deceive and chance”. The ELO could be stated, that Christian priestly and administrating ministry have been understood. Times of persecution, overcoming of hindering laws and rules leaded to values of encouragement and freedom. The establishment of regular family meetings, the family prayer (The Most Holy ROSARY), the estimation of unwritten and unspoken clan rules could be taken for granted. An affirmation to invite following ceremonial family meetings, like a marriage have been looked forward to.
To evaluate the TLP=f (l,t,c,e) , it is necessary to choose one principle or help technique, that I may not have known before. The HBLT –principle, that appeared to be a main topic or help technique, have been integrated into my ministry of teaching events. The HOOK in a ceremony like a funeral is the dedicated fulfilment of the last will of the deceived person. In this case it has been performed at the seaside of the northern sea shore in the Netherlands. The HOOK involved four out of 5 invited family branch leaders. The BOOK concept started with a little beloved song that was well-known in our family, and that has got a new, special meaning and depth of understanding and spiritual development. The teaching by ceremony, christ-centred following the exegetical concept, leaded to the point, where the Teacher/Learner roles have been changed. The priesthood and the Kingdom of GOD has been shown obviously by all recipients. A discussion started on the topic: “Supervision- deceive and chance” following the line-thesis that death is the ultimate deceive and overcoming death in eternal life with JESUS can be interpreted as our realistic chance to survive. A Supervision, that involves systematically Family Therapy shows new ways of life-changing experiences, if resurrection and eternal life in the heavenly Jerusalem has been postulated. The LOOK-step included brainstorming, goal-getting, personal commitments, prayer and encouragements. Even sad events, like a funeral took the learners according to these principles of the textbook to a vivid experience of strengthening faith and active counselling and comforting, included in the teaching environment. The future Commitment of taking constituting and binding pastoral acts, together with the acceptance of the Most Holy Rosary Prayer as a family-related specific group prayer could be seen as a best-in-practice result of the author’s teaching principle of the HBLT. In so far all feedbacks stated the effort of using this teaching help.
Evaluating the variety of methods that have been given, makes me happy, because it’s an honour, to be part of the excellent teachers A-course. 732 words.

Sieg am Kreuz
GOTT sei dank haben wir den Sieg
in JESUS CHRISTUS unserem HERRn!
#
Mit diesem Taufvers begab ich mich
auf die Kreuzesnachfolge in 1992.
Ich baute Hauskreise, Kirchen, Missionswerke,
gründete Firmen und Vereine,
absolvierte erfolgreich (mit 95% von 100)
den Second BA in Religious Education,
wurde Reverend und Bischof
von über 5500 Christen.
====================================
Jetzt soll ich in eine geschlossene
psychiatrische Anstalt eingewiesen werden,
wenn es nach dem Willen einer Staatsanwältin geht.
Ohne Gerichtsverfahren, obwohl es bereits
amtsärztliche Gutachten (mittlerweile drei) gibt,
die mir Handlungsfähigkeit, Einsicht,
Kooperations-bereitschaft und "gesellschaftliche
Ungefährlichkeit" bescheinigen.
Auf einen wagen Verdacht hin wurde mir bereits
der Führerschein entzogen.
Dabei wurde, obwohl meine Frau dem
auch schriftlich widersprochen hat,
falsches Zeugnis und falsche Zeugen aufgestellt.
=======================================
Warum ist das so?
In der Wochen, nachdem ich zusammengeschlagen wurde,
betete ich mit einem katholischen Krankenhausseelsorger.
Er gab mir ein Gebet um Gelassenheit,
denn die Mächtigern dieser Welt vergehen!
Ich glaube ganz sicher, dass
das prophetische Wort, das ich vor Jahren
bekam , sich erst jetzt voll erfüllt:
GOTT will SEIN BANNER darüber erheben,
das ist das Feld-Zeichen seiner ALLMACHT!
Für mich ist klar:
der ROSENKRANZ (siehe links das widget
zum Rosenkranz-Gebet), soll triumphieren
über den "Staats- Faschismus", der sich mit
Ärzten und Psychatern verbündet.
===========================================
Wem das zu hart, oder fundamentalistisch klingt,
der sollte mal einen Blick werfden auf ISRAEL, und wie
die Mächtigen dieser Welt (OBAMA, etc.)
mit GOTTES Bundesvolk umgehen.
Parallelen zu der Konfrontation von Moses mit dem Pharao
sind unverkennbar und keinesfalls zufällig.
==========================================
Da darf derjenige froh sein,
der um des Evangelium willens
Unrecht leidet , wenn er verleumdet wird,
wenn sie damit lügen!
==========================================
Ich für mein Teil bin ruhig und gelassen,
fröhlich und zuversichtlich, denn,
der der in mir lebt ist
stärker als der , der in der Welt!
..und: GOTT sei dank
werden wir den Sieg haben
(wie wir ihn auch schon gehabt haben)
in JESUS CHRISTUS unserem HERRN!
====================================
Lasst uns im (ROSENKRANZ-) Gebet mit
einstehen für unsere Freunde
in ISRAEL und sie trösten,
und Jerusalem Glück und Frieden wünschen!
Preis dem HERRn!
in JESUS CHRISTUS unserem HERRn!
